Move over, Jesus Cruise — there’s a more committed Scientologist in town!
Nancy Cartwright — best known as the voice of Bart Simpson — last year gave the church a whopping $10 million out of her, um, $5.5 million salary to help spread the gospel of founder L. Ron Hubbard. According to PageSix.com, the money specifically went toward Scientology’s “Global Salvage” effort, which aims to “de-aberrate” Earth — meaning to rid mankind of psychology ills and other “aberrant” behavior, such as those aberrant homosexuals. So watch out, Patty and Smithers — Bart is gunning for ya!
Nancy actually donated twice as much money as Jesus Cruise, who gave a measly $5 million in an installment plan last year. Scientology membership on layaway! Meanwhile, Kirstie Alley matched Tom’s donation, but fellow actors John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston donated just a million each. Cheap asses. Priscilla Presley kicked in $50,000, which is almost enough for standing room only tickets at church meetings. Almost.
Hmmm… donate ten million dollars to get rid of psychiatrists’ couches or find a cure for cancer? Yeah, I agree — the couches are a much more worthwhile cause. Just take a few vitamins and you’ll be cancer-free, anyway!

I had to interview her years ago and was warned that she’d likely espouse her views on Scientology in a bid to convert me (sadly she didn’t)…the photog with us had already been through the drill as well as some of the others involved. Those who deal with her know she’s even more cuckoo than Jesus Cruise (love that!) so this isn’t a surprise really….

You can’t blame Cruise for only giving as much as he did; he has a lot of towel boys to payoff yearly, eh.
