It been a tough week for Scientology. Award winning director, Paul Haggis has jumped ship, after calling the church's support of legislation banning gay marriage in California, "morally reprehensible" and four of the six leaders of the church in France have been convicted of fraud. Next, Scientology spokesman Tommy Davis walks out of an interview with Martin Bashir on ABC's Nightline program. Busy busy!

So we thought, being the tolerant and accepting fellows we are, the happy-go-lucky-chaps in the Church Of Scientology might need cheering up a tad. With this in mind, we present to you, The Hottest Woman of Scientology...after the jump.

Laura Prepon - The oddly attractive broad-shouldered ginger one from That 70s Show. Laura converted to Scientology after she started dating actor Chris Masterson, who played the eldest brother in Malcolm in the Middle. They broke up in 2008 but since she has been regularly spotted going to The LA Scientology Centre. At least you can't call her one of those fair-weather Scientologists.

Bijou Phillips - The Mastersons strike again! Bijou is engaged to Chris Masterson's younger brother Danny, who played angry stoner kid Steven Hyde in That 70s Show. Philips is the daughter of John Phillips, singer in 60s hippy folk troop The Mamas and Papas. Bijou's own musical career has yet to reach the heights of California Dreaming.

Kirstie Alley - We're not sure Scientology has anything to do with her well-documented weight issues but no sane heterosexual man could say that they didn't find Kirstie Alley attractive when she was in Cheers. And even some of the earlier episodes of the atrocious Veronica's Closet. Alley has been a Scientologist for 25 years, so just after Sam Malone dumped her. Hold on. Was Cheers a documentary or a sitcom?

Sofia Milos - Easily the hottest forty plus Scientologist - half Italian half Greek, born in Switzerland, and a beauty pageant queen, she plays Yelena Sallas in CSI: Miami. Reports that Milos was tricked into taking the role after cunning producers told her CSI stood for Church of Scientology Investigates, have since proved to be erroneous (and non-existent... we made it up. Everyone got that?).

Katie Holmes - Wife of Captain Scientology, Tom Cruise, Katie joined the church shortly after her whirlwind romance with the world's favourite 5'7" action hero. Shortly after daughter Suri was born reports began to circulate that that Katie was made to endure a silent birth as part of a Scientologist's belief that stressful noise during birth will traumatise the child. Oddly when Suri started school this year it was at Catholic pre-school.

Elisabeth Moss - Moss most recently graced our screens as ambitious 60s advertising exec, Peggy Olson, in the amazingly cool Mad Men. Moss was born into Scientology and has completed the Key to Life course, the Life Orientation Course, Academy Level I, the Student Hat, the Professional TRs course, the Hubbard Professional Metering Course, Solo I (the Hubbard Solo Auditor Course, Part I), and the Golden Age of Tech PTS/SP course. Goody two-shoes.

Marisol Nichols - Smoking hot Marisol has starred in box office classics Bowfinger and Big Moma's House 2. You might recognise her as sultry special agent Nadir Yassir from 24. Nichols became a Scientologist after her chiropractor introduced her to it. A chiropractor and a Scientologist - what a quack.

Juliette Lewis - Rubbish rockstar and awesome actress Juliette Lewis has said of Scientology that: "Having achieved the state of Clear is the single most important thing that I've done for myself. It has allowed me to experience life in a way I only imagined." According to the Scientology press office the state of clear is "a specific state achieved through auditing, or a person who has achieved this state. A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, and therefore suffers none of the ill effects the reactive mind can cause". Glad we cleared that one up.
