Perez Hilton has been alleging for awhile, and sightings of J Lo with Leah Remini, a Scientologist, furthered the rumor she was on her way to joining the spaceship cult.

"Alarms definitely started to ring when Jennifer Lopez became the latest member of TomKat's cult inner circle. You can't be Tom Cruise's friend without being a Scientologist...or at least being very exposed to the 'religion,' said Hilton on his blog.

Jennifer Lopez, fur loving fashionista, singer and actress may well be Scientology's next big tuna.

Talking to the media in Miami recently, J Lo talked about her fashion forward sense. "I just went for my own pleasure and what my husband likes," J.Lo told NBC 6's Jackie Nespral during an interview at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami on Thursday. "Of course I'm aware people will see it. As long as I feel good in it, that' s the most important thing."

Lopez also discussed the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

"It was a great celebration of their love," she said. "It was good. It was beautiful."

When NBC 6 asked about what she thought about the negative perception some people have about Scientology, Lopez replied, "I, myself, am Catholic. But it's just sad that people would look at it (Scientology) in that way."

J.Lo also has a personal connection to the Church of Scientology.

"My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years," she said. "It's weird people want to paint it in a negative way."
