Leah Remini Accuses Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes of Neglecting Suri

Over the past week, Leah Remini has launched a full-blown media attack on the Church of Scientology, of which she was a member for several decades. Leah's been speaking about her time as a Scientologist in order to promote her scathing new memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology. In a recently released excerpt, Remini detailed the sexual abuse and harassment that she experienced as a young woman in the church. Now, Leah is going after the controversial religion's golden boy, Tom Cruise. Today, another excerpt from the book, which hits stores on Tuesday, was released to the public, and it includes some shocking allegations about Cruise and his then-wife, Katie Holmes. According to Remini, she attended a pre-wedding dinner at Cruise's home, and she rode to the party in a car with Cruise's children from his first marriage to Nicole Kidman. When Remini asked Isabella Cruise if she planned to see her mother soon, the then-13-year-old snapped, “Not if I have a choice. Our mom is a f–king SP.” SP stands for “suppressive person,” Scientologist jargon for a friend or family member who attempts to talk a believer into quitting the faith. Isabella Cruise got married last month and didn't invite either of her parents to the ceremony. More shocking than the odd nature of Cruise's relationship with his older children, however, is the shocking neglect of youngest daughter Suri Cruise that Remini says she witnessed upon arriving at the dinner. Remini claims that Suri – then just 7 months old – was left to scream and cry on a bathroom floor while adults milled about pretending that nothing was wrong. Remini was eventually able to convince some women who were standing nearby to assist with her cleaning the baby up and giving her warm milk. Tellingly, Holmes issued a statement apologizing for her past mistreatment of Remini and did not deny that the Suri incident occurred as she described it. Watch Remini discuss her feelings about Scientology and her relationship with Holmes in the video below:

Lamar Odom: Motor Skills Impaired By 12 STROKES!

Lamar Odom suffered 12 strokes – yes, twelve – during his near-death medical emergency last week, and his motor skills have yet to fully recover. Odom is hospitalized in Los Angeles, having narrowly escaped death in Nevada, but the 35-year still faces a long and uncertain road to recovery. It was believed, erroneously, that a stroke or series of strokes left Lamar Odom brain dead by the time he was found out cold in a Nevada brothel. He isn’t, and in subsequent days, the star regained both consciousness and Khloe Kardashian, his estranged wife; Khlomar called off their divorce . Doctors performed a series of brain scans that show Odom’s brain suffered serious damage, however, and that he wasn’t far from losing everything. They discovered 12 strokes that occurred, and while they didn’t affect vital organs, the episodes did have an impact on his ability to walk and talk . Lamar’s medical team won’t say if the impairment is permanent, and it’s possible they don’t know the answer. But he will undergo months of therapy. Doctors don’t know the extent to which his motor skills and speech will be restored, and the physical and speech therapy is far from his only issue. As previously reported, Lamar’s kidneys failed following the traumatic incident. He is on dialysis and may need a transplant in the coming weeks. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy

Khloe Kardashian Cancels Book Tour Due to Lamar Odom Health Scare

Khloe Kardashian refuses to leave Lamar Odom’s bedside. Even for an opportunity to make lots of money. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind Sources have confirmed that the reality star has canceled her upcoming book tour because she’s too concerned about Odom’s health status. Kardashian’s estranged husband is recovering in Los Angeles after having been transferred from a hospital in Las Vegas. But he remains in bad condition due to what insiders now say was a suffering of 12 strokes . Khloe flew on a private jet to be there for Odom on the night he was fell unconscious at a Nevada brothel and was taken by ambulance to be under doctor’s supervision. He spent multiple days in a coma, but showed signs of life over last weekend. Still, soon after Lamar was transported to California, he underwent two procedures on his chest . The troubled star has a very long way to go. Therefore, Khloe will no longer be touring the country in promotion of “Strong Looks Better Naked,” a memoir/self-help book that will be available to purchase on November 3. Earlier this week, the racy cover hit the Internet, as fan were treated to the sight of Khloe Kardashian naked . According to the official synopsis of the book, Khloe will share “her secrets for finding strength of body, heart, mind, and soul with inspirational, revealing stories of her own struggles with weight, relationships, and her self-image.” She has agreed, of course, not to divorce Lamar after all . But this decision arrived far too late to be included in the book. We continue to send our best wishes and our thoughts to Khloe and Lamar during this difficult time.

Poor Thang: Michael Strahan Wants A Wife Who Doesn’t Want His Money

Michael Strahan Dishes Advice On How To Catch A Baller Like Himself Michael Strahan admits to being unlucky in love but that doesn’t stop him from dishing out advice about landing a man like himself in his new book. Via NY Daily News reports : Michael Strahan wants a wife – as long as she’s not a gold digger. “I always wanted to be married,” the “Live! with Kelly and Michael” co-host tells the Daily News. “I’ve been very unlucky in that category.” It would take the right woman for Strahan to “Wake Up Happy” – the title of his new book out Oct. 13. After two divorces, one explosive, and a cancelled engagement to Eddie Murphy’s ex, Nicole Murphy, the former New York Giants’ defensive end is very specific about what he wants – and doesn’t want – in a woman. The biggest deal-breaker for him: gold diggers. Strahan recalls a moment with one unnamed woman as they strolled past luxury shoe shop Louboutin on Madison Ave. “She pointed at a pair in the window and said, ‘You’re going to buy me those shoes right there.’ “She didn’t get the shoes,” Strahan reveals, “And she didn’t get me.” Strahan, 43, even presents a set of instructions on how to get a man just like him in “Wake Up Happy.” Among the rules: “Physical Attraction Only Goes So Far.” Strahan admits that a pretty face and a hot body can lure him in, but insists “soul chemistry” is more important. “But men do put a lot of emphasis on looks,” he tells The News. Another Strahan tip: “Swagger is a Pheromone.” He adds that confidence can take a woman from a 6 to a 10. “Confidence is sexy,” he says. “It makes their face prettier and their body great.” Sounds like he’s got better advice than Steve Harvey. Do you plan on buying this book? WENN

Heidi Klum Just Owned Donald Trump Again

Heidi Klum 2, Donald Trump 0. A few days ago, Trump honed in on the Project Runway host for some reason, telling Maureen Dowd of The New York Times that Klum is “no longer a 10” on the looks scale. The leading Republican candidate for President didn’t specify what number he now believes Klum to be, but Klum went ahead and graded herself in a perfect response to Trump . Well, close to perfect. The following response is actually perfect. “Personally, I have no idea what I have to do with the election,” Klum told Access Hollywood, adding: “But really, the whole entire situation about women is not really funny… you know to put a number on a woman, especially women.” And why is that? “We juggle so many things and I feel that, you know, women who support their families, who have children, who make their lunches, drive them all over the place, work at the same time, I mean, we do so many things, so in my book, every woman is a 10.” Indeed. Heidi Klum just spoke more eloquently and sent a more inspiring message than a top contender for the Oval Office. View Slideshow: 19 Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said While Running for President

Ivana Trump Denies Rape Claims, Thinks Donald Trump Would Be "Incredible President"

Despite public opinion (and, you know, facts) being against him, Donald Trump has never backed away from his stance that most Mexican immigrants are rapists . Along sort of similar lines, however, Ivana Trump would like to make it clear that she does NOT believe her ex-husband to be a rapist. The Daily Beast came out this week with an article that excerpted parts of a 1993 book titled “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.” In this biography, author Harry Hurt III writes of how Ivana told friends about an incident in which Donald, her husband from 1977 through 1992, “raped” her. According to the book, Donald Trump came home after a failed scalp procedure, angry that the doctor Ivana recommended performed in such a shoddy manner. Trump allegedly held back Ivana’s arms… pulled out “fistfuls of hair” and… then: “He jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’” With this claim having gone viral, Ivana Trump released a statement to CNN this morning that reads: I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. I Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president. View Slideshow: 13 Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said While Running for President Over two decades, Ivana also denied the way in which this tale was framed. She confessed to a scary sexual incident, but said back then as well that she did not want her “words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
