During wrap festivities for Peter Berg 's Hancock (Sony, 7.2.08), which Smith has described as "the Michael Mann version of an alcoholic superhero," the superstar reportedly gifted crew members with "a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center." Smith "has never confirmed" that he's a Scientologist, Widdicombe ...

Will Smith Can Hear You

... among the items Will gave as wrap presents to his Hancock crew was a card good for a free "personality test" at a Scientology center. I heard Ashlee Simpson once took that test and it came back negative. Little joke. Smith, for the record, has still not said whether he is officially a member of Scientology, but you know he is. Anyone who spends that much time with Tom Cruise has to be a Scientologist. Or just a masochist. (source)

Despite denying it, Will Smith seems to have gone over to the Scientology side, having passed out gift certificates for free "personality testing" sessions to the crew of "Hancock" at the wrap party . Now, I hope that wasn't the whole gift, because seriously, they give those things out for free. Scientology has a huge influence in Hollywood, because they know how to kiss celebrity ass, and they know how to turn a religion into networking. If you ever saw "The Player," you'll remember a scene in which one character says he goes to AA meetings only to network. I'm guessing ...
