I was watching GMTV (breakfast TV) this morning. There was a short 'Hollywood 
gossip' report which featured a brief interview with John Travolta and Kelly 
Preston, in which they attributed the success of their marriage to $cientology. 
It took some very precise questioning to get them to mention the cult. There 
followed a brief discussion between star-struck presenters Anthea Turner (in 
London) and Fiona ?? (in Hollywood) about how Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are 
another example of a $cientology marriage, so "there must be something good in 
it". Fiona ?? (what's her name?) said she was going to go to "the big 
$cientology building in LA" to ask about it.

Does anyone have an email address for GMTV? I think they should be told what 
sort of 'religion' they've promoted.
