Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey have laughed off reports their newfound friendship with Tom Cruise is proof a burgeoning interest in his Scientology religion. Insiders tell the New York Post that Catholic-raised Lopez has been slowly introduced to the controversial religion by her friend Leah Remini, while funnyman Carrey is taking introductory courses in the religion.

The media were stunned last month when Cruise and new wife Katie Holmes invited Lopez, her husband Marc Anthony, Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthey to their Italian wedding - because the star had never been known to socialize with the quartet.

In the past two weeks, Cruise and Holmes have socialized with Lopez and Anthony on at least three occasions. Despite the couples’ new friendships with the Cruises, their representatives insist Scientology isn’t their common interest.

Lopez’s spokesperson says, “I have no knowledge of this, but I probably wouldn’t have a comment on it if I did.” Carrey’s publicist adds, “He is not taking classes.”

A Lot of people were scratching their heads when they saw Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey among the guests at Tom Cruise’s wedding to Katie Holmes last month in Italy, wondering what the possible connection could be.

Some assumed it was the super-agency CAA, which reps both Cruise and Carrey and used to handle J.Lo. But insiders say the mystery link among the superstars is actually the Church of Scientology.

“Jim is taking the introductory and beginner’s courses right now,” a source told Page Six. Another source notes that Lopez, a close friend of Scientologist Leah Remini, “has started using Scientology phrases and explains the church to people. Leah and Jennifer have been friends for years, and Leah has always talked to her about the church without pressuring her.

“We can see Scientology appealing to Jennifer because, in the early stages, it is a lot of self-help.”

However, Lopez’s husband, Marc Anthony, is a devout Catholic and is probably resistant to Scientology, which believes in space aliens but not a God.

Some observers speculate that Lopez, who has had trouble conceiving in the past, could be leaning to the Scientologists for help in having a baby.

Meanwhile, Hollywood bigwigs were awed at a display of “sheer rudeness” by Cruise at the premiere of “The Pursuit of Happyness” in Hollywood the other night.

Sony chief Amy Pascal “was introducing the movie, and during her speech Tom gets up, goes over to Will [Smith] and starts talking to him - and then says, ‘Hey, Katie! Come over here and say hi to Will!’ during Amy’s speech. It was in bad taste.”

Scientology seems to be drawing more and more celebrity interest by the minute. Other noted church followers include Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Anne Archer, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes and Priscilla Presley.
