By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 01:09 GMT, 18 September 2012 | Updated: 06:03 GMT, 18 September 2012 The Church Of Scientology has hit back at Vanity Fair's bombshell cover story which includes claims that Scientology officials auditioned 'dozen of young women' for Tom Cruise prior to his marriage to Katie Holmes.

What Does Scientology Want? Suri Cruise. On a night when his former Nirvana band mates were being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jason Everman just wanted to drink in a quiet bar.
It’s a little past 1 am on Friday morning and the weekend warriors are trying to hail cabs on the streets in Brooklyn. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just held a big concert and I’m on my way to meet a member of Nirvana, one of the bands in the hall’s newest class. Jason Everman played with Nirvana in their early days but hasn’t had much time to look over his shoulder and reminisce about his punk rock youth before the ceremony tonight. He spent much of the past decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, serving as a special operations solider. Before Thursday night, it had been more than twenty years since Everman was in the same room with other members of Nirvana. “It was cool that they got inducted even though I really don’t know that much about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Everman says.

Thanks to community kindness, it’s still game-on this spring. With the start of a new baseball season comes a disheartening stat that makes you worry not just for the national pastime, but for the nation itself: In less than a year, four little league presidents have been charged with looting their organization's treasury. The thefts left three of the leagues in such sorry financial shape that it seemed the kids might not be able to play this spring. But nobler souls came to the rescue, and in each instance opening day saw a big win for goodness over greed. “I was a little leaguer, and that’s where the dreams come true. “By far this is going to be our best season ever!” Octavio has since pleaded guilty in federal court to that theft, as well to stealing similar amounts from two youth soccer leagues.

In light of the rumors that Cruise’ devotion to Scientology- and his supposed desire to enrol Suri in one of the religion’s intense boot camps - was one of the main causes for their split, two senior Church administrators sent a panicked email giving followers advice on how to counter the negative press storm. The letter comes the day after one of the most noted ‘defectors’ from the religion predicted that Cruise’ latest divorce could be the ‘biggest nightmare in the Church of Scientology’s history’ because of the drama that could unfold if secrets are publicly revealed in court.
