 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are not working out a deal for the actor to reunite with estranged daughter Suri, despite a false tabloid report. Gossip Cop can correct the story. A rep for the actress says it’s false. 
 
 The movie star hasn’t been in contact with his 12-year-old daughter for several years, but according to Star, he’s hatching up plans for a reunion with the young girl. An alleged insider tells the magazine Cruise has been “rounding up his lawyers to find a way to see her again,” but first needs to convince his ex-wife to sign off on the get-together. 
 
 The outlet’s supposed source adds that when Holmes and Cruise settled their divorce in 2012, “she agreed to stay mum about [Scientology] as long as Tom didn’t try to see Suri.” The questionable tipster says Holmes is concerned that her ex-husband may try to “lure Suri back into the church if he starts seeing her again,” but she’s “slowly warming up to the idea of a reunion” because Suri misses her dad and Cruise “assured he won’t bring religion into it.” 
 
 The unreliable tabloid further contends that Holmes and Cruise’s legal teams are currently in discussions to set up a meeting in London, but the actress’s father, who’s a lawyer, must be on hand for the reunion. “You can bet that Katie is going to make him jump through plenty of hoops,” adds the seemingly phony source. “And Tom will!” 
 
 The magazine’s account of events is coming from an anonymous and untraceable “insider,” but Holmes’ spokesperson is going on the record to refute the story. It’s also worth noting, Star has proven to have zero insight into the relationship between the movie star and his daughter. Gossip Cop busted the publication earlier this year for wrongly reporting that Cruise was quitting Scientology to reunite with Suri. As time has shown, that didn’t happen. 
 
 Last October, the magazine made up a story about Cruise asking the church of Scientology to allow him to visit Suri. The outlet’s sister publication, OK!, has also been pushing this false reunion narrative for years. In December 2015, the tabloid falsely claimed that Cruise would be spending Christmas with his daughter. In April 2013, the magazine said he would surprise Suri by visiting her on her birthday. 
 
 These countless articles surrounding Cruise’s supposed plans to reunite with his daughter never pan out. This latest report about the movie star getting his legal team involved is equally bogus. ||||| Scarlett Johansson is putting an end to one former Scientologist's claim that she "auditioned" to date Tom Cruisefollowing his 2001 divorce from Nicole Kidman. 
 
 During an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today, Brendan Tighe said he was working as a member of the actor's Scientology security team when he accidentally came across "reports" revealing the names of women who allegedly auditioned to enter a relationship with Cruise. According to Tighe, one of those women was Johansson. 
 
 In a statement to E! News, the actress rejected his assertion, saying, "The very idea of any person auditioning to be in a relationship is so demeaning. I refuse for anyone to spread the idea that I lack the integrity to choose my own relationships. Only a man aka Brendan Tighe would come up with a crazy story like that." ||||| Erika Christensen is opening up about her association with Scientology. 
 
 The actress, who is expecting her second child with husband Cole Maness, spoke with her Parenthood costar and on-screen brother Dax Shepard for an episode of his podcast, Armchair Expert, on Monday, when they discussed the religion. 
 
 “I can justify things in all kinds of different ways, but basically, like, as a Scientologist. And I definitely cannot speak for every Scientologist about anything because everybody has their own beliefs and comes at it from even other religions and all kinds of stuff. However, I don’t believe this is the first time I have lived on this planet and I basically think I’ve probably done absolutely everything before,” said Christensen, 35. 
 
 Christensen confirmed to Shepard that she was raised Scientologist, but clarified, “It’s funny because I really like to be specific about that too because it’s hard to raise someone as a Scientologist because it’s something that you do, it’s not something that you believe.” 
 
 She shared of her upbringing, “My parents definitely are Scientologists, approached parenting from a Scientology viewpoint. I know that now as an adult. I can see that in the way that they approached me as a kid and really tried to do what I’m doing now as a parent, which is trying to temper absolutely necessary discipline and rules and structure with fostering independent thought and freedom of personality. It has to be true for you. Don’t take anybody’s word for anything ever, basically, without being a cynic or without being some kind of paranoiac. It’s just: What do you have if you don’t have yourself?” 
 
 The former child actress, who was home-schooled, praised her parents for “making themselves safe to talk to” and revealed that they never told her “you need to go to church” but rather encouraged her to “check it out.” 
 
 “When I was 12, I started doing a bunch of the little introductory courses that they still have now that are maybe a few hours each,” she explained.

 When asked about Scientologists’ views on drugs and alcohol, Christensen confirmed that drinking is allowed, but drugs are “off the table.” 
 
 “Drinking and drugs and stuff like that, we basically think it’s counter-productive,” she explained. 
 
 “As the action of Scientology, when you are picking apart the chronology of your life and its effects upon you, it really helps to have that lucidity,” said the star. “It’s almost just selfish on my part. I want to be able to remember everything. I want to be smart,” she said, and added, “I want to consider that I’m always just driving toward my best self.”

 During the podcast interview, Shepard, who starred opposite Christensen for six seasons on Parenthood, also inquired about the criticism that the church has faced. 
 
 “I don’t think that it comes from an actual place of, like, your critiques,” explained Christensen, who said that she hasn’t consumed any of the criticism. “I don’t think it comes from critical thinking.” 
 
 Shepard also brought up the Emmy-winning and controversial Scientology documentary Going Clear, and posed the question of why his friends who are members of the religion won’t watch the film. 
 
 “Honestly it doesn’t have anything to do with … anything that I’ve ever learned about the group or organization as a group or organization,” she said. 
 
 “To be specific about [Going Clear], if somebody has read a book, read Dianetics or some Scientology book, and wants to philosophically tell me what they disagree with, cool. That is a totally different thing. … But specifically with that documentary, the documentary was based on a book, the book was not even published in certain English-speaking countries because the libel laws are stricter than they are here,” she shared. 
 
 Added Christensen, “There’s so much that is actually — talking about sources. … They have proved themselves to be irrelevant. …That’s what I look at mostly is the source and I get to evaluate the source and go, ‘Oh, okay, that person has been convicted of perjury previously.’ So no, there’s no relevance in what they’re saying.” ||||| Get the latest from TODAY Sign up for our newsletter 
 
 After being raised in the Church of Scientology, Brendan Tighe says he signed a “Billion-Year Contract” with the Sea Organization, which is devoted to the most devout members of the church. Tighe says that reports of auditions to be in a relationship with Tom Cruise were accidentally sent to his printer, which is how he learned that an interaction with Cruise and actress Scarlett Johansson didn’t go well. He left scientology in 2011, and joins Megyn Kelly TODAY with his story.
– During an appearance on Megyn Kelly Today Wednesday, former Scientologist Brendan Tighe said that Scarlett Johansson once auditioned to be Tom Cruise's girlfriend. Johansson was having none of it, quickly hitting back with a statement to E! News. "The very idea of any person auditioning to be in a relationship is so demeaning," it reads. "I refuse for anyone to spread the idea that I lack the integrity to choose my own relationships. Only a man aka Brendan Tighe would come up with a crazy story like that." In his interview with Kelly, Tighe claimed to have learned of the audition when reports from Cruise's handler were accidentally printed on Tighe's printer. The report said "it didn't go well," Tighe said of the audition, adding that another actress, Scientologist Erika Christensen, had to "disconnect" from Johansson as a result of it not going well. "Because Scarlett wasn't interested?" Kelly said. "Correct," Tighe said. The Church of Scientology also disputed Tighe's claims. As for Cruise, he's also in the tabloids due to a report that he's trying to make plans to see Suri, his daughter with Katie Holmes. Gossip Cop says those reports are false, though the site does note Cruise hasn't seen Suri, 12, in several years.
