New rumors are flying that claim Scientology, the religion made famous by Tom Cruise’s epic couch jumping, may want to recruit Selena Gomez. This news comes after her high-profile split from bad boy Justin Bieber. George Shelley, who is rumored to be her boyfriend, has so far remained silent.
One of the more laughable stories of the week comes from Star. The sensational tabloid is claiming that the church is eyeing one of pop’s greatest icons, Selena Gomez.
According to an alleged “insider,” Marissa Ribisi is trying to recruit the young starlet. Ribisi, who is married to Beck (another famous Scientologist), is a fashion designer and friend of Gomez, and has talked with the singer about the benefits of Scientology:
“Marissa knows that Selena wants to be a big actress, so she reminds her how many stars are Scientologists. Selena is just so sweet and trusting; she isn’t that good at standing up for herself. If she does get sucked in, it’s hard to imagine her ever getting out.”
As usual, the “source” chose to remain anonymous.
By now, however, Selena should be accustomed to the rumor mill. Nearly every week, gossip sites and tabloids speculate about her love life, especially Justin Bieber.
Of course, the rumors may not be accurate, considering Hollywood Life claims the couple has stopped speaking, entirely. The website quoted a source who said:
“Justin who? She doesn’t talk to Justin at all ever anymore.”
Don’t fret over Selena, though. According to insiders, the 21-year-old singer is likely dating a member of Union J. George Shelley, as well as the rest of the band, opened for Selena on September 11.
According to sources, George and Selena spent the entire night together. The insider told The Sun:
“Everyone else left the room at 2 a.m. so they were able to spend the night together. Nobody was annoyed with George. After all, he's been pursued by one of the biggest pop stars in the world — it's any lad's dream come true.”
