The Science of Stardom
Posted by Bossip Staff
Will Smith continues to throw around hints about his connection with Scientology. On the Today show this morning he said:
“I study the patterns of the universe. I watch how things happen, because they happen the same way over and over again. Definitely plot it out in advance. But I would say, as far as hitting the mark for exactly where I’m aiming, that’s kind of rare. There’s a flow of the universe that I’ve grown to know just how to go with it.”
Well if that doesn’t have a Scientology twang to it, we don’t know what does. Sounds like Mr. Blockbuster be hittin’ up those “Ouija Board” parties (or whatever cult-like foolery Tom Cruise and the rest of the Scientology gang engage in) on a regular.

Don’t do it Will!!!
Personally I don’t care what he chooses to study. I like his movies. He seems like an involved parent and husband. That really counts for a lot in my book.
Scientology or not, whatever the f*ck he’s doin’ is cakin’ him up. Will’s untouchable…
@ I’m Just Me
I couldn’t agree more.
What people study and believe in is their own business. If he’s not shouting out shameless plugs on Scientology in the middle of his movies or records, I could care less.
I’m at a movie theater near me July 2nd…
Disturbing!
Bossip
You folks need to stop clowning people for their beliefs. Anyway, what he is referring to, is not scientology, it is the way of the Universe.
I don’t know anything about Scientology so I don’t know if what he said had that certain t***** to it. I wish I could hear the whole interview because I’d be interested to know what his universe is like. It doesn’t sound like mine.
Personally I don’t care what he chooses to study. I like his movies. He seems like an involved parent and husband. That really counts for a lot in my book.
applause, applause! i whole-heartedly agree!..i really don’t think he is studying scientology, he is probably fascinated as to why they don’t believe in God.
love will as an actor:) ……hate him as a rapper:(
Negrodamus Believes Will Smith is speaking directly to the Black Scientist “Yakub”..The person who invented white people and pork rinds to destroy black people.
@bree
Will and Jada are definately Scientologists, along with their BFFs Tom and Katie, who are like recruiters or something LOL, not knocking them though, they can believe what they wanna believe
“Will and Jada are definately Scientologists”
Oh, so Will and Jada told you this themselves?
@ Negrodamus Believes(Check me out!)

============================================
LMFAO @ Yakub, LOL!!
Will don’t go into the light…..
JESUS is the answer!!!!!
@6 Figgaz: Scientology or not, whatever the f*ck he’s doin’ is cakin’ him up. Will’s untouchable…
********************************************************************************
CO-SIGN 100% THIS DUDE IS THE MAN 4 REAL DOING BIG THINGS FOR LIKE 20 SOMETHING YEARS!
Mr. Willard Christopher “Will” Smith, Jr.
…been drooling over him since ‘96.
Dang…Get some dough and leave Jesus too huh?
yea, wtf is fresh prince talking about? universe blah blah world blah blah blah flow blah blah blah pattern blah blah blah…..
parents don’t understand and neither do I Master William, neither do I
Scientology is a bona fide cult. I won’t support him if its true.
Whatever.
He better shut his trap before he can’t even make one movie a year, like his pal Tom, let along one blockbuster. Middle America doesn’t like cult freaks and they’re the ones who love his damn high-octane Michael Bay movies.
Some of y’all are real narrow minded.
This man obviously goes beyond learning about more than what he was taught to believe in (Christianity or whatever) and people want to go off about it?
It sounds more like some of YOUR minds have been warped by accepting what your grandparents told you was truth rather than researching and learning about OTHER things yourselves. Yet y’all wanna down this man for seeking his own knowledge?
SMH
And at the end of the day, Will still seems to be sooooooo happy with his life while his critics are just…well, critics.
@nikko
NO THEY DIDNT TELL ME THEMSELVES, BUT I DO WATCH SHOWS SUCH AS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, AND CELEBRITY EXPOSE’ THANKS HAVE A GOOD DAY BYE BYE
“NO THEY DIDNT TELL ME THEMSELVES, BUT I DO WATCH SHOWS SUCH AS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, AND CELEBRITY EXPOSE’”
——
And so I guess they can be considered to be reliable sources, huh?
Woooooooooow (c) Flava Flav
Please pay close attention to this, folks. THIS is a perfect example of why the public school system is so effed up.
Wow, being a good dad, and husband isn’t enough for people, now he has to live the way others expect. I knew it was a matter of time before folks try to tear him down; next up for the haters, Barack?
Bossip you & me both know that Will Smith has been on something ever since he left Philly. Why am I not surprised by his scientological madness? BECAUSE…he moved out of Philly. Somebody pls pray for him, I’m busy. lol
And so I guess they can be considered to be reliable sources, huh?
ITS A RELIABLE SOURCE WHEN U SEE WILL SMITH HIMSELF SAY SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT LIKE “HE’S LOOKING INTO PRACTICING SCIENTOLOGY” IM NOT ABOUT TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS I CAN ONLY BACK IT UP BY WHAT I SAW…CASE CLOSED….GOODBYE NIKKO
So Scientologist dont beleive in Jesus Christ.
Have none of you heard of the Secret?? It says exactly waht Will is talking about.
WHO *****IN CARES WHAT THE DUDE AND HIS FAMILY IS LET HIM BE
“Will and Jada are definately Scientologists” – Envy Me

@ I’m Just Me
I couldn’t agree more.

Agreed^^^^^^
Why the heck is this darn cult so powerful, anyway? Actor’s/Actresses etc. earn a certain amount of fame and they go bonkers and believe that ish? For God’s sake, get your head out of your damn ***** and see how ludicrous the entire belief is. My GAWD.
And this goes for you loony RELIGIOUS Christians too.
A dead man rising out of a cave after 3 days. RIIIIIIGHT.
@ I’m just me,I agree with you 150%!
Will has said he is not a Scientologist. He could be quoting from “The Secret” too, I have that dvd and I watch it often. I don’t much about Scientology, but they have a center not far from my house. My hair stylist joined, and they have really been effective in helping her overcome dyslexia. As long as they aren’t killing people, or spreading hate like some religions, people should leave Scientology alone!
Bossip, have you ever heard of the saying “HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF”? Are you sure ya’ll aren’t the people who keep saying Barack Obama is a muslim?
^^^I don’t know much about Scientology^^^
Yeah, they’re not killing people yet. Juuuuuust watch.
raven – WOW. Do you dress in all black everyday all day?

What is “The Secret”
JESUS is the answer!!!!!
It’s not about me being pessimistic. It’s just written in history how cults end up ruining a lot peoples’ lives. And there have been several instances this year in Scientology when people have denounced it.
They’re all a hoax. All of them. But believe what you want. I’m not here to judge. Just spout opinion.
@ Envy Me
Posting messages telling people that someone is a Scientologist, or anything for that matter, because you HEARD about it on Access Hollywood (somebody help this child) is just as ridiculous as 6am referring to me as fat for defending Jill.
I’m 5′ 7″ and haven’t weighed anymore than 128 since I’ve been in my 20s. Hence, it didn’t make sense for me to respond to that fool since he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about. You, on the other hand, I questioned about your source since you said Will “definitely” is a Scientologist, as if he told you that himself.
But on that note, I’ll leave you alone. It’s cute to know that you check my other messages, though. LOL
I seriously hope not!
I SEE A VERY SAD TREND GOING ON IN HOLLYWOOD FROM WILL SMITH TO OPRAH. IT WAS THEIR FAITH IN GOD THAT GOT THEM TO WHERE THEY ARE AND AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS, THEY WANT TO FORGET AND LEAVE GOD. IT IS SOOOO SAD!!!
Dianetics, the book which Scientology is based on is very deep. I had to read it twice just to fully clarify some of the concepts. After reading the book you will find you can go further into finding a deeper meaning in your own life and your everyday surroundings. I am not a scientologist, but whatever it is they are teaching, the knowledge is expensive. I also think it scares some people because the German government has moved to ban it as a religion in their country.
Nikko
wasnt CHECKING ur messages, i was READING comments…have a good day Nikko im tired of going back and forth
“I am not a scientologist, but whatever it is they are teaching, the knowledge is expensive.”
This is what I don’t get. Why does seeking knowledge, of any kind, have to be expensive?
If it isn’t required to take a cross country trip to some high mountain top where travel guides are going to direct you to a prophet who’s then going to give you ALL the answers to life, I don’t see why ANYBODY should have to pay a penny to seek knowledge.
CIAO
I don’t know about you Kevin W., but we, as a caring human race, should be suspicious of anyone who speaks like he or she is an Ewok.
I’m not saying persecute them into damnation. Or fire and brimstone on their *****es. But, be careful. Because they are NOT working within the realm of reality. I guarantee it.
@ Envy Me
i don’t believe you! in my heart, i hope he hasn’t converted to the science cult..
And ditto w/ Nikko on the expensive knowledge ish.
If it weren’t a damn cult, it should be as readily available as any philosophical teaching that one could find in a public library.
@BREE
DITTO BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS
HOW IN THE HECK DO U GET BOLD????????? I KNO U PROBABLY NOT GOIN TRY AND TELL ME, LOL
“The Secret” is a sensational book, later turned into a movie by Rhonda Byrne about the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is nothing new and practically focuses on your attitude on life. Thinking exclusively about what you want, and never about what you don’t want because like anyone who has a life worth living usually knows is that you bring in what you project. Will Smith sounds nothing like a “Scientologist” or whatever people try to categorize him as, he sounds like a man who’s an exceptional student of personal development and someone who wakes up everyday trying to be the best him possible. It’s hilarious to see people knock on other people like will because they can’t break from the confines of their negativity to be who they want to be and live the life they want to live. I don’t know a thing about scientology but I do know that it is very naive to call something a cult, a student of history, like Will Smith, knows that every major religion in its introduction was considered a “cult.” Change bothers the hell out of a lot of people and create outdated people and outdated information, if only more people could realize change and see how it benefits them and others around them and be accepting of the way others practice their lives we wouldn’t live in such an ignorant society
I think of scientology the same as I do all religion. The Creator gave man/woman LAW (not religion) and control over their domain. In other words, “Here is what you should and shouldn’t do, now it’s up to you.” Call yourself what you want (Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Scientologist) but I doubt you are ultimately judged by it. Your day to day interactions hold much more weight.
@illuminate Truth
You said that the creator gave man/woman law. Where is the law written? What is the law? You called out a few religion but I trying to figure out where you get your rule book from?
Ima just say that I have the upmost respect for both Will and Jada, but Im sorry Will is gay and Tom Cruise is his man. I just wish our society wasnt so hell bent on crusifying gays in Hollywood or anywhere else.Being in relationships with people tend to influence new ways of thinking.
@ My son…..
The rule book can be the Torah (Jewish), Gospel (Christian), Koran (Islam), etc. All these books basically have the same message or at least have more likeness than difference. Are you saying God gave man religion?
@ Illuminate Truth.
The Bible mentioned the word religion once and it is describe as a true religious person would help the widow and the fatherless. It’s in the New Testement but I forgot which book. I didn’t understand the point you were making when you called out the different religion. It’s not religion, it’s having a right relationship with God. And yes, that also means following his commandments. Jesus said if you love me you will follow my Commandments. He also said out of all the Commandments the greatest of all is to Love God with all your heart, soul, and might and to Love thy neighbor as thyself. If you do those two things you will have all the commandments covered.
How come when Erykah Badu is talking all that same ish about “being born under water with $3 and 6 dimes, cyphers and whatnot”, no one accuses her of being a Scientologist? Is it because she’s not friends with Tom & Katie? Leave Will alone. Who is he hurting?
@SoWhat
Will can and will do whatever he want to do. It is free will. We do have opinions on the matter but overall, he can do whatever he want to do.
I think you’re reaching this time bossip, I mean don’t call him a “scientologist” just because he’s friends with Katie and Tom. And ultimately…who gives a *****! He’s talented and he has a beautiful family that he’s keeping together.
All I have to say is, go into a Scientology church and see if you leave with your wallet and your right mind. This organization is not a joke and is not based on free will.
@raven
I agree. I read the St. Pete Times where a major center is located and they’ve done a series on people who have spoken out about the church who ended up mysteriously dead. They’re not locating in black communities because we don’t have the cash to support the organization. They mainly target educated people with healthy bank accounts. I figure most people in Hollywood join the group since it bank rolls a number of projects and movies. If Will’s a member, I am stepping away.
“The man that sleeps on the floor cannot fall out of bed” – - Martin
I believe the previous statement makes more sense than what just came out of Will Smith’s mouth. Money makes black people weird.
Look at the front page of Bossip and compare those other celebs to Will.
You got DMX’s cracked out ***** still driving around without a license and getting ARRESTED.
You got Ice-T’s old ***** beefin with somebody his son’s age like he’s still relevant.
You got Nate Dogg running down women who don’t want him no mo’.
Naomi’s abusive ***** is getting kicked out of airports for acting a fool.
Remy Ma’s behind bars for shooting her friend who now wants to sue for a slice of pizza
And Amy Crackhouse done nearly smoked herself to death.
But y’all worrying about a successful Black man who’s a good father, positive role model, and seeker of knowledge (props to Nikko for recognizing)?
Wake up people!
@ Raven plz chill, dog Don’t talk about Jesus yo leave him alone. Seriously thats mad disrespectfull how would you feel if someone is insulting your fam chill 4 real.
@ Raven you know how many people has actually been declared dead and awoke. Countless Jesus was not the first so that makes your comment very ignorant. That still happens today oc*****ionally some things are hard to explain.
You know why scientology is so stupid. Know one can explain the universe 100% not even astronomy. We are constantly discovering new plants 100’s of light years a way so to know the universe is just wrong and ignorant. know one knows the universe is a very complex solar system they must have those tibes in the head like the freakin Matrix and can transitmit information about the universe through computers!
I mean I like Will and he do what he do but, at the same time scientology is ment to deceive yo. What the heck read up on it they beleive in freakin ALIENS! Know Jesus is real recorded in history not just in the bible look up a man named Flavius Josephus. He do*****ented Jesus but ALiens are you freakin kiddin me!
envy me
i tried to tell a poster before and i accidentally ended up making all the text on the page bold..kinda like what Bossip’s main page looks like now
..you should ask a computer savvy kid..they’ll teach you!
Oh, so good to hear that. Seems I have seen he at an interracial dating club blackcentury.com or somewhere just like that. Not sure whether it is true or not.
Who cares?
i’m tire of Will Smith’s over annoying *****. what is this new thing withh him being all over Chrlize “Apartheid” Theron. ISNT THIS ***** MARRRIED!!!???
Same reason he never apears with a black woman as his wife unless she is a stripper like in independence day. he is forced by the white media to bow down to charlize’s precious white wman hood and remind middle america that though he has been married to this black woman for yeaaarrsss he still values and craves that divine whitneness. yuck
Will went and got all brand new on us just like Oprah. Now Will is opening his own Hogwarts Academy and Oprah is a New Age televangelist( the Secret is that the law of attraction brought her some PIE). Anyway, Oprah and Will were both known for being genuine. It’s what endeared them to the American public. Now they seem to be doing imitations of themselves and come across as big phonies. Sorry, Will seems sweeter than a box of Cap’n Crunch–despite the pretty wife and cute kids.
As for the Scientology thing. That’s a cult started by failed science fiction writer and occult enthusiast L. Ron Hubbard. Master Will seems to be spouting the “universe” mumbo jumbo and is one diabolical laugh away from sounding jussssst like that nut job Tom Cruise. Here’s hoping Han***** isn’t his Pluto Nash.
Yes once you make it in Hollyweird especially being a Star Lucifer requires you to sacrifice to him..No matter at what cause..Will wake up man 2012, Sept-Oct will be a special date for America fo sho! 1612-2012…..400 yr captivity is up…Pharoah let my people go…Don’t sell your soul to the devil..
Will Smith is going crazy…
Will is a thinking man. Nice to know – all these years I thought he was a clown. Newfound respect from me. (Can’t say I can quite decipher what he is thinking though….lol. But who knows, that may be a deficit on my part).
@BellaY: Scientology IS killing people. Lisa McPherson for one. Scientology rips apart families, abuses children and bankrupts people with brain washing techniques Hubbard picked up from the Russians. Everything they do, from not being allowed to touch your newborns (!) to not feeding them milk but barley water to demonizing psychiatry (so you feel bad about seeking outside help) is focused on keeping people in line and pay pay pay for the churches.
As for the Secret, it’s a MLM scam, the same old new age BS in a shiny new wrapper, making the promoters a bucketload and people will forget all about it and happily buy the next BS Oprah promotes, and she promotes A LOT OF BS.
Wtf for real? For reeal Niobe? How is The Secret gonna be an MLM scam when you don’t have to buy *****? What’s scammy about positivity and good thoughts? That kind of attitude is why millions never get ahead because when Oprah throws something on tv they act like it was just something for her to promote. What’s next Rich Dad Poor Dad is a scam? MLM stands for m***** level marketing and you really have to explain to me how that even closely relates to a book?
Will Smith only has a high school education, so he’s easy prey for Scientology.
Ditto Tom Cruise, & John Travolta’s a HS drop-out.
I see a pattern here..
@ImpeachW
I hope you aren’t a religious person because they’re all comprised of ignorant ill educated fools.
This is particularly true of the christianity myth that African-Americans cling to like retarded babies.
HE NEEDS JESUS!
LOL @ “fabulosity”
Thanks for making my point.
could be Theology..i read a book called “*****e, time and self” and it was a mixture of it all, and Im not a scientologist, im catholic….bad part about it is scientology got a bad rap from killing that one lady from starving her for too long..doesnt make scientologists all crazy…some of yall are narrowminded to other religions..and thats bad all in itself…lol
I always thought he was a sale out. I can not stand him his fake ***** wife nor any of his movies
Bossip, sometimes y’all make the stupidest comments! Just because he’s educated in science doesn’t mean he’s part of some so called scientology cult. He’s freaky brillant! Don’t knock our successful, black brotha’s for being educated on the way our universe works…..I mean, that’s like knocking humanitarians for going “green”!! Basically, just stop spreading the ignorance and you might get more web-fans!!
@Kevin W, I have also read dianetics in its entirety..most of the time these books teach about the “knowledge” of life and when you do know ENOUGH you are divine and closer to God…it had a lot to do with the universe and its processes, but it does not exclude the belief in God…read people
“Will Smith only has a high school education, so he’s easy prey for Scientology.”
——
Here’s another example of how ignorant peope are.
Will was accepted to MIT before he decided to do the Hollywood thing. Therefore, this man could have basically done anything he wanted, because he was just that intelligent. He decided to go the Hollywood route and has been turning it out ever since.
And for those of you calling him a “sell out”, what the hell did he sell out? Oh, you mean movies and record sales? In that case, you’re right, he is a sell out.
Y’all fail to mention all of the Black non-profits he contributes MILLIONS of dollars to in order to help Black kids, but y’all ignorant *****es wanna call him a “sell out”? I swear some of y’all grew up going to school on a short yellow bus.
@ Kai,
I couldn’t agree more.
People fear what they don’t know or understand. They’re quick to criticize when they “hear” about things that aren’t the norm to them.
I actually feel sorry for some of these people. God gave ALL of us the capacity to gain as much knowledge about our Creator, His universe, and other living organisms, but people are so narrow minded and AFRAID to learn new things, that when they hear people speaking on an educated level like Will, they run and hide the same way they do when JWs knock on their doors.
Thanx Nikko!!
I have just enlisted myself as your personal cheerleader!! lol
No, seriously, you exampled that perfectly!
My bad,…you explained that perfectly with a good “example!”
lol
(working while typing doesn’t mix!
the revolution of the people against the powers that be, cannot happen, so long as the people are controlled.
I am MINDSLAVE and i approve this message!
at first i researched scientology, it is indeed a terrible lying cult. now, i dont give a rat’s ***** because apparently it preys on stupid, weak, white folk w/hella money. who gives a ***** about them? lol but seriously, are will & jada trying to help you or me? hell naw! so why give time to worrying about them? you get your paper & spread love, Jesus & God everywhere, then *****ody will give a ***** about scientology. wait and see, if they are then their careers will be over. Jesus is the only true God & all of God’s gifts are free! (they also get on blogs & comment so don’t be fooled) Love yall
BOSSIP STOP MISQUOTING PEOPLE!!!
I saw the entire clip when Will said this and it was part of some long-winded joke about him always coming out with movies in July. Damn Bossip there is enough gossip out there so stop taking ***** out of context. Ya’ll did this with Beyonce (“I make Black music”) and Jennifer Hudson (“I support Barack. He hasn’t called me yet though.”)
Beyonce was responding to a reporter who was insinuating that she made “pop” music for white audiences and Jennifer was responding to a reporter that asked her about peforming at an Obama rally. But Bossip took those, and Will’s, comments out of context to give a differnt impression.
I think a lot of people commenting don’t have an open mind. In our world today if we start hearing stories of a man who can walk on water(not David Blane) or turn water into wine, or having people following him and spreading this new age teaching we will discredit this person and think it was all a lie or a joke and we probably would fall for this gimmick. But this is the story of Jesus who had a hit on him before he was even born because people at that time didn’t want change.
@Nikko
The problem is…there is only ONE truth! Again people are entitled to whatever they want to believe but Jesus said I am the way the truth the the light, no one can come to the Father (creator) but through me. If anyone is speading anything other than the truth than you have to leave it a long. There is a such thing as false prophets. Beware of them or you will fall for anything. Not everything that sounds good is good.
Sorry, I meant *and* the Light
Hey,Has anyone heard any more about the bank charges test case? I saw that it had finished but have not managed to find anymore information about the outcome and if a precedent has been sent.
