If we had brought back the exact same group we had last year, I think the results would be good, but we needed more talent, ... We built the team around Shaquille that's a now team.

That was a big deal at the time because Elvis was in the Army and Ricky was the top guy.

James Packer was spotted around a Scientology campus in Australia, has made frequent trips in Los Angeles where Scientology is headquartered, and reportedly spent time in Scientology counseling sessions in Sydney ù and Tom Cruise is his pal.

After all, Tom Cruise is the biggest giver Scientology has.
