Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Are In Scientology Purifying Phase

Yep. The Cruise has gotten to them. FOX News is reporting that the couple is into Scientology more than ever . They have been taking professional business meetings at Scientology's Celebrity Center in Hollywood.

Anthony is said to have taken the "purification" course, a hopped-up sauna that supposedly "cures" all ills. Lopez may have invested in the IRS-sanctioned religion thanks to infertility issues and difficulties in the couple's marriage.

What's very clear is that Lopez and Anthony's sudden friendship with chief celebrity Scientologist Tom Cruise is no accident. Other than belonging to the expensive pay-as-you-go religion, Cruise and the Lopez-Anthonys would have nothing in common.

From what I'm told, Lopez and Anthony entered Scientology with the help of Angelo Pagan, the husband of "King of Queens" actress Leah Remini. Both Pagan and Remini -- mostly the former -- have taken dozens of pricey courses in L. Ron Hubbard's creation.

A source says that they were invited to meet Lopez and Anthony at the Celebrity Center where they were ensconced in four-star digs. There, Anthony talked excitedly about the "purification" program while Lopez discussed career matters.

"They're in," a source said. "There's no doubt about it."

Lopez's father has been a Scientologist for 20 years, as recently revealed. Lopez's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, referred me to Lopez's comments to Page Six magazine, in which she stated that she would not be converting to Scientology from Catholicism.
