1. I read a list of members a few years ago
and was really disappointed in a few of them

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientologists

Nancy Cartwright -- from my hometown no less!
Doug E. Fresh . . . WTF?
Jerry Seinfeld (an ex-member, to be fair)

Granted, some people on the list were born into it -- but it's often surprising who ends up being a member. I don't understand how one could buy into that, but plenty of people believe even stranger things, I guess

3. They never really got the hooks into Seinfeld...he never became what I'd consider to be a "member"
Seinfeld admits he dabbled in Scientology
‘I am very interested in self help things,’ says the ‘Bee Movie’ star

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21535797

LOS ANGELES — Jerry Seinfeld helped create buzz around his latest film project, “Bee Movie” by sitting down with “Access Hollywood’s” Billy Bush over the weekend.

Among their topics of conversation? The stir Seinfeld recently caused when he revealed he’d dabbled in Scientology.

“I did some Scientology courses about 30 years ago,” Jerry told Billy. “The only thing that bothers me about people knowing that is that it is not my complete wacko resume. It’s just one aspect!

“I am very interested in self help things,” Jerry continued. “When I was a young man in my 20s I would explore like meditation, and I studied Aikido and karate and yoga and I would just take little things from each of these things.”

“But everyone else takes from yoga and Aikido and all those things, but Scientology has this stigma around it. And you say it was very helpful?” Bush asked.

“Yeah, well I didn’t do very much. I don’t know that much, I just did a little but I liked it,” Seinfeld said.

“I don’t know... I was kind of flitting from thing to thing. I was interested in exploring,” Seinfeld noted.

Thirty years after his Scientology exploration, Seinfeld’s life is a lot different. He’s been married to wife Jessica for seven years. The couple has three young children.

5. Greta Van Susteren--LOL!!
Listed among "A list" members of Scientology in a 2006 article in The Boston Globe.<61> Identified among "notable Scientologists" in the 2007 edition of the book Extraordinary Groups: An Examination of Unconventional Lifestyles by authors William W. Zellner and Richard T. Schaefer.<67> Placed among "famous Scientologists" in a 2009 article in the St. Petersburg Times.<120> Her husband, a lawyer, is a fellow practitioner of Scientology.<57> She told People magazine, "I am a strong advocate of their ethics."

I wonder if her PoxNews fans know this...
