Other celebrity enthusiasts must watch the shows that come on television, many of them on satellite or cable channels, and they tell everything they possibly can about what is currently happening in the hottest people of the moment.

If you are one of these star watchers, you may have noticed that many of the famous ones are speaking out more openly these days about their spiritual beliefs. Some seem to be newer trends and some not so new.

Most people would ever have thought that the Madonna of the 1980's would turn out to have such a spiritual nature. Actually, if you have kept up with her over the years then you should know that she is one who has always spoken about her personal beliefs. Both those beliefs that she was raised with, which was Catholicism, and the beliefs in things like the teachings of the Kabbalah, that she is said to practice faithfully today.

Shirley McClain has been very publicly outspoken about her beliefs in reincarnation. Now some might think her a little strange, but reincarnation is really totally accepted as a fact among so many different cultures in the world.

You can read about Shirley and her particular beliefs about reincarnation on various websites. If it is true that through reincarnation that you always come back better than before, then Shirley must have been here many times because she is defiantly a very talented lady.

Of all the celebrities who have spoken out about their spiritual side, it would have to be those who practice Scientology that hold the biggest interest of so many. Scientology is a relatively new practice and only recently has more attention been brought to it. Lafayette Ron Hubbard founded the church of Scientology. He was also the author of the very popular 1950's book, Dianetics.

Scientology is a practiced by many famous people, namely, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes, Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman, Isaac Hayes, John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston, and Lisa Marie Presley. There are many famous people who have supported Scientology in the past but no longer do today.
