Jennifer Lopez revealed she has a family connection to Scientology, telling a Miami radio station that her father is a Scientologist. "My dad has been a Scientologist for twenty years," Lopez said. "It's weird people want to paint it in a negative way." As to media speculation that her friendship with Tom Cruise has convinced JLo to join the religion herself, the singer said, "I, myself, am Catholic. But it's just sad that people would look at it [Scientology] in that way." After the interview aired, the star's rep said, "Jennifer is not a Scientologist, nor is she becoming a Scientologist."source
