Matt Lauer is a Scientologist

Matt and Tom

Did Tom Cruise get to Matt Lauer? Well not really. (Attorneys, put down the cease and desist) But he did recently defend Tom Cruise. Cruise who was recently fired by Paramount for ~~being a lunatic~~ erratic behavior, found an unlikley champion in Matt Lauer.

“You know what, I have to say something. You talk about erratic behavior and things like that affecting the box-office and yes maybe he jumped on a couch, and I was in the middle of one of those episodes here on the Today show and maybe he speaks out about Scientology and some people don’t like that.”

“But what about the stars who are in and out of rehab every week? Is that any worse? And yet you find movie companies still in business with them. So, this is all a strange world we live in.” (source)

So is Matt drinking the Kool-Aid? Or, is he just a swell guy? You decide while looking at Tom Cruise’s wife naked. Here’s Kate, then known as Katie Holmes, hot off the Dawson’s Creek and frontally nude in the The Gift. (NSFW of course)
