Will Smith is finally speaking out about his pal Tom Cruise regarding the whole Scientology thing that's always causing such a stir in the press.

He said the criticism Cruise, 45, has received for his Scientology faith has been "painful for me to see. I've met very few people committed to goodness the way Tom is."

The Hancock star, 39 - who was rumored to have converted to Scientology after speaking out about the controversial religion - was raised Baptist and said he remains Christian.

"We disagree on a lot of things," added Smith, who attended Nelson Mandella's 90th birthday in London on Wednesday. "But even with different faiths and different beliefs, at the end of the day, goodness is goodness."

He said that their friendship thrives on rivalry.

They currently compete to see who can sign autographs longer.

"It's hard to beat that dude," Smith said. "He has another gear. He did two-and-a-half hours in France for Mission: Impossible on the red carpet. Now when I go to France, people will say, 'You know, Tom was out here for two-and-a-half hours.'"

You see? Tom is all about goodness. It's just too bad that his goodness comes from an alien soul that was trapped here on Earth in a volcano. My goodness just comes from me being a nice guy. Then again...that alien soul has gotten Tom like $50 million while I have considerably less. Maybe I do need one of those alien souls. How exactly do you get one anyway? Does the church give them out like communion or what?

I had never thought Charlize Theron was all that attractive, but that's probably because I saw the movies North Country and Monster where she was done up all hideous and stuff. Now she's starring in the summer blockbuster Hancock and Holy Ghost of Baby Jesus she looks hot! What's nice about these pictures is that Will Smith is in them too just in case you needed a good looking man around.

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.

Dammit! That Tom Cruise is a crafty bugger isn't he? His commanding power of the Dark Side of the Force allowed him to use his mind tricks on Will Smith and turn him into his very own apprentice.

Big stars traditionally distribute "wrap presents" to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer's comedy "Hancock" was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center.

Never mind that such tests are given free by the church anyway. The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that - surprise! - Scientology can fix right up for you.

For a fee, of course.

I mean Will was the Fresh Prince! He is Legend! If we've lost him then what chance does the rest of humanity have? Wasn't Will's blood supposed to be immune so that he could cure the rest of us once the planet is enslaved? This is just perfect for a Wednesday. To find out we're all screwed really messes up my week quite frankly.

Let's face it. Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith are probably one of the best looking celebrity couples in Hollywood. Not only that, but they have one of the longer marriages going on and it shows now signs of letting up. Jada attended the "I Am Legend" premiere with her husband and she looked awesome. I always tend to forget about her because she's not as public and then I see some pictures like this and I'm reminded that she's one sexy lady. I figured I'd remind you as well.

I suppose Will is a bit dreamy too if that's your thing.
