TOM CRUISE - SCIENTOLOGISTS BID FOR NEVERLAND?

SCIENTOLOGISTS BID FOR NEVERLAND?

Members representing TOM CRUISE's Scientology religion have reportedly made an offer to buy MICHAEL JACKSON's Neverland Ranch, according to media reports in the US. The church members were eyeing the property with plans to turn it into a celebrity retreat compound. However, a source tells veteran Hollywood reporter JANET CHARLTON that members of Jackson's family, many of whom are Jehovah's Witnesses, were unhappy with the thought of the Scientologists buying the property. The source also said that a consortium, led by a Beverly Hills business man, ultimately outbid the Scientologist for the ranch. Many rumours of about the sale of Neverland have circulated in the past, but regardless of who buys the property, the new owner will not be enjoying any of the amusement park rides on the property - they have all been sold to a Japanese company.
