The Church of Scientology is going for more African American membership by hoping to use people like Will Smith and Kimora Lee Simmons. The church opened up a soul eating center in Harlem back in 2003.
"It's not so much that anyone is upset that Will is becoming a Scientologist," the source added after seeing a copy of the nine-page Radar piece. "It's that as he becomes more involved, you'd think he'd sort of help fly the flag with Tom (Cruise), who seems to only get a bad rap for it, while Will does this and comes through just fine."
As for Kimora Lee Simmons, the Radar piece makes the case for including her among the ranks of celebrity Scientologists. The magazine points to a 2006 gathering where Scientology leader David Miscavige "spoke glowingly of Kimora Lee Simmons' efforts to distribute a personalized edition of Hubbard's "The Way to Happiness," featuring her image on the cover, to school kids in New Jersey." Simmons' rep said that the designer/model is not a Scientologist.

Kimora has been passing out a special edition of founder L. Ron Hubbard's "The Way to Happiness" with her face on it? That's freaky. Some other soul-munchers you might or might not know about in Hollywood are: Kirstie Alley (she's like a double-stuffed Xenu), Lisa Marie Presley, Jenna Elfman , Beck, Isaac Hayes, Juliette Lewis (I can't stand her), Giovanni Ribisi (who I actually like a lot), and Greta Van Susteren (I know there was something odd about her.)
The church also plans to build a giant soul collection facility, or so I've heard, but I can't back that one up.
