Erika Christensen in Parenthood

A new series based on the successful movie Parenthood is slated for release in the first quarter of 2010. Scientologist Erika Christensen will star as Julia in this one hour comedy/drama.

The show will be exec produced by Jason Katims, writer of "Friday Night Lights", and by the power duo of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer of Imagine. Also starring in the show is Lauren Graham of The Gilmore Girls (my wife's favorite show of all time).

Scientologists I've seen lately in TV and Movies

Without trying I've spotted several Scientologists on TV and in movies in just the last week.

It started with an old episode of Stargate SG-1 (what a superb show) starring Corin Nemec as "Jonas Quinn" then came the movie Flightplan co-starring Erika Christensen (an edge of your seat thriller starring the brilliant Jody Foster), followed by an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, guest starring Elizabeth Moss and another Law and Order: CI guest starring Geoffrey Lewis. Then to top it all off Elizabeth Moss was featured in Entertainment Weekly in her role as "Peggy Olsen" in the award winning series Mad Men.

All that in just the last week and I don't even watch a lot of TV and movies.

Many Scientologist Celebrities Perform Christmas Show to Benefit Police Activities League!

Numerous Scientologist celebrities performed at this year's Christmas Stories XVI Christmas show to benefit the Hollywood Police Activities League (PAL). The show was held at The Church Of Scientology's Celebrity Centre International Garden Pavilion last weekend and was a huge success.

The celebrities that performed this year included Kirstie Alley, Anne Archer, Jenna Elfman, Ethan Suplee, Laura Prepon, Erika Christensen, Michelle Stafford, Michael Pena, and many more!

The annual show is a benefit for the Hollywood Police Activities League (PAL). PAL is run directly by police officers themselves and provides year-round athletics and scholastic activities for kids. The juvenile crime rate drops in areas in which the program operates! The funds they raise with the Christmas Stories show also helps make possible the annual PAL Christmas Party and presents for the youth they serve.

How To Rob A Bank - Starring Erika Christensen

Erika Christensen stars in the movie "How to Rob a Bank" written and directed by Andrews Jenkins. The movie critic of the New York Daily News describes her as "impressively committed" to her role as bank employee Jessica, caught in the middle of a bank heist. But is she just an innocent bystander or is she part of the heist? To find the answer you'll have to go see the movie.

BTW, in the movie she has black hair. I almost didn't recognize her - it is amazing how different a person can look just by changing their hair color.
