What's the weirdest thing you've ever done to impress a crush? How about trying out a new religion, perhaps a cult-like religion that believes in aliens, hierarchies, and giving all the leaders your money?

No?

Well, that's what American Idol star Katharine McPhee confessed to having done when she was asked to clarify rumors that she was asked to sing at the TomKat wedding (false) and whispers that she's a full-fledged, L. Ron Hubbard follower (mostly false):

I actually just did meet [Tom and Katie] the other day and they were the nicest people I think I've probably ever met. I'm not a Scientologist. I've clarified this rumor over and over again, but people will keep saying that I am, but whatever. I took a couple of courses. It was really all about a guy. It was a guy that I was totally obsessed with — not obsessed with but totally into and, you know, guys and girls can do that to our lives and make us think we're into something that we're not. But I don't say that Scientology is a bad thing. I met a lot of wonderful people in Scientology, so when I say I'm not a Scientologist I don't mean it like "I AM NOT A SCIENTOLOGIST!" I actually had a very positive experience in Scientology; I just chose that it wasn't for me.

Talk about your dream girlfriend! Not only will McPhee cook, clean and sing** in the shower, but she'll even obsess over you to the point that she'll come this-close to joining a cult, all in the name of fatal attraction true love.

We can only hope that someone from this year's crop of Idol wannabes has that same sort of spunk that says, "not only do I have what it takes to (almost) win American Idol, but I'm even willing to join a pseudo-religion where Tom Cruise is Jesus Christ and science-fiction writers are kings."
