What's expected from celebrities in Scientology

Every possible effort, pressure, and sales tactic is brought to bear on existing celebrity membership to recruit other new celebrities into Scientology. Celebrities are heavily indoctrinated to their duty and responsibility of recruiting new celebrities.
They also are expected to constantly promote and talk about Scientology. Recruiting and other Scientology promoting activities proves their loyalty to the organization and approves their security clearance to go to the next secret level.
Celebrity activity is closely monitored. If they don't promote Scientology in their media coverage or if they don't promote it at their events or do special events for Scientology their loyalty is questioned. The following are three examples of Scientology celebrity endorsements and promotions :
"lt's nice to know you can be a cause of your life as well as an effect," convert John Travolta, 23, says of his Scientology training. "lt's a logical and very sane way of living. I don't get upset as easily as I used to. I don't think I could have handled my success as well without it."
From 'The Auditor": The Monthly Journal of Scientology -AOSH ANZO 136. "The Road To Freedom" album of LRH songs released on CD! Attendees of the 23rd of June event were able to snap up the brand new edition of "The Road To Freedom" album now available on CD and cassette. This album features such leading artists as John Travolta, Chick Corea, Julia Migenes, Karen Black, Nicky Hopkins, Amanda Ambrose, Gayle Moran and Leif Garrett. This album is a unique and highly enjoyable collection of songs composed by L. Ron Hubbard to impart to the listener some of the basic knowledge that Scientology offers. Whilst viewed as controversial by those who seek to oppose man's spiritual freedom, the lyrics on this album offer answers to questions man has asked for eons."
Kirstie Alley is active in disseminating a new 47 page booklet on ways to preserve the environment. The booklet, entitled "Cry Out," was named after a Hubbard song and was produced by Author Services Inc., his literary agency. Author Services is controlled by influential Scientologists. In April, Alley provided nationwide exposure for the illustrated booklet (which mentions Hubbard but not Scientology) when she unveiled it on the popular Arsenio Hall Show. Since then, it has been distributed to prominent environmental groups throughout the U.S.
Although the advertising isn't finished yet, the new campaign includes a half-hour "documercial" entitled "The Problem of Life." It dramatizes a couple who are looking for answers to the questions of life," a spokesman said, such as: What's it all about? Where are we going? Wouldn't it be good to have a job that is fulfilling? The couple unsuccessfully visits a doctor, a psychotherapist and a marriage counselor. "At the end, they find out Scientology could provide the answers," the spokeswoman said. The documercial ends with a 10-minute direct-sales pitch from Jeff Pomerantz, the soap-opera star (best known for his role in the "Dynasty" series) who is one of the church's several celebrity members.
Celebrities are not only pushing Scientology and Scientology's non religious alter ego Dianetics for multilevel marketing like commissions; they are also heavily pushing the Scientology front groups, like Narconon, the Way to Happiness, Applied Scholastics, and others.
A partial list of front groups set up and directly or indirectly controlled by Scientology, and which are involved in recruiting for Scientology or covertly or overtly attacking adversaries or defending Scientology, includes :
the Committee To Defend The First Amendment
the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation
the Citizens Commission On Human Rights
Narconon
the Committee On Public Health And Safety
the Task Force On Mental Retardation
the Gerus Society
the Dianetic Information Group
the Committee To Re-involve Ex-offenders
the National Commission for Law Enforcement And Social Justice
the Foundation For The Communication of Culture International
Doctors For Religious Liberty
Vanguard, April, (a pseudo anti cult organization)
Alliance To Protect Religious Liberty
Committee For A Safe Environment
American Citizens For Honesty in Government
the Way to Happiness Foundation
the Whistle Blowers
Health Med
Criminon
Applied Scholastics
Concerned Businessman's Association of America
Sterling Management
Scientology's Front Groups play an important role. Scientology set up reform groups shortly after Hubbard, in 1966, wrote :
"Churches are looked upon as reform groups. Therefore we must act like a reform group."
Scientology and Dianetics are held in such disrepute that in public Scientology must use front groups to defend it, speak for it, and attack its enemies. Internal confidential documents seized by the F.B.I. show that social reform activities were designed primarily to attack critics publicly from the safe and respectable position of a humane social reform group.
An example of Hubbard's thinking on this matter is policy directive HCO PL 12 January 1973 "The Safe Point":
"...Rule l...Get in a safe place and speak up. It is necessary of course to have a safe place to get into, from which one can in safely speak up. One cannot defend himself in a point that has no defenses...Thus the Safe Point takes consideration over Active Defense...a special unit must be set up and run at full steam to make a safe point and gain viable PR Area Control over all publics in the area...The PR Area Control action in a new area can go so far as to create in the area of whole past and future track for the activity being established. It can make it sound old-fashioned, stable, reliable, expert, productive..."
The Scientology social reform front groups fulfill Hubbard's directives to a "T." Very few people will attack a social reform group, so Scientology now has its "Safe Point" from which these groups can get its own propaganda messages across.
when it comes to talking about scientology? Is it because he's so high up in the organization like I've read?
Notice when Tommy Boy was not so much into Scientology when he was first with Mimi Rogers or Nicole? And Nicole was definitely not into Scientology. 
I think Tom knew he had to hand over his first born child over to Scientology. He pretended to be sterile, instead of doing invitro. They openly adopted 2 kids to get past this clause. 
and if the papparazzi want to catch pics of her, they should be hanging out at Celebrity Centre instead, 
or Tom & Katie did indeed try to adopt another child hoping to palm that one off to Scientology, rather than give up his first real born child. Only the adoption fell through & they have no child at all to hand over!
