Is this even a real award?

The Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, Los Angeles has made the LA Business Journals 2007 Real Estate Award. The theme of this year's award is "adaptive reuse" - which is fancy talk for taking an old or historic building and converting it to be more environmentally friendly while trying to retain it's classic features. The Centre built in the style of a French Chateau and looking a bit like it should be in a Cinzano advert - used to be a hotel. It was built back in the 20s and during Hollywood's golden era was home to countless stars including Charlie Chaplin, Greta Gabo and Humphrey Bogart. But now, they bought were given an award for turning this incredibly beautiful and historic building into a place that is so creepy and scary that not even the most adventurous Hollywood enthusiast attempts to enter its' doors. Awesome.

You can do a 'free' tour around the center if you go in and ask. My friend and her boyfriend did it and said it was really creepy and they didn't see Tom Cruise. ha


freaky fucking cult. they should all be shot.


This proves that all the attention and money that celeb's get doesn't fix their needs. They are reaching out to anything to fill that emptiness. This is not it. Most sane Americans know this is truly a cult. This cult causes much pain wherever they go. If you have family that live near one of their homes, they give you the real grit of their doings. It's a sad story really. From what I hear, they have destroyed the Clearwater area. I hope one day they find what their looking for. It certainly not where they are looking.


Good writing on this one. Finally.
