According to the Hollywood Reporter, Leah just bagged herself an A&E reality series investigating the controversial religion of Scientology. The network couldn't have picked a better host considering Remini just escaped from the church in 2013.

Despite a lack of details about the project (things have to be kept hush hush due to the organization's scare tactics), sources confirm it will debut early next year. The actress has been shooting the series all summer long.

As for the content of the show, it will touch on the ex-member's own frightening experiences within the church and the families of current members.

While we don't know for sure, we imagine the segments with families will focus on how church members are reportedly encouraged to disconnect from those unsupportive of the religion. Sadly, there are TONS of people who'v lost loved ones to the cult — just think of how Tom Cruise treats Suri Cruise these days!

What's especially interesting about Leah's new gig is that former member Jason Lee JUST revealed he left the church after decades of allegiance. We'd love for L.R. to interview Jason, especially since he was allegedly a harsh critic of her departure.

So, will YOU tune into this new series?

This is Billy's esoteric humor at its best!

If you weren't sure based on the number of posts we do about him, we absolutely cannot get enough of Billy Eichner and his HIGHlarious satirical game show Billy on the Street.

He's the one gay guy who knows as much about pop culture as we do, so his latest sketch is simply perfection.

Video: Here Are All The Celebs Stopping By Billy On The Street!

In Leah Remini's Escape from Scientology, it's up to Rachel Dratch to leave behind the religion and save her family/acting career all while participating in stunts that look like they're straight out of Double Dare 2000.

That's right — Leah has nothing at all to do with this, other than formerly being a Scientologist, and that makes it even better!

Plus, no members of the organization are safe; John Travolta, Jenna Elfman, and even Elisabeth Moss get skewered by Billy's improvised insults.

Ch-ch-check out Billy's best clip yet before the full episode drops on Thursday, December 10 at 10:30 p.m. EST on truTV (below)!!!

DWTS' Tony Dovolani Says Scientologists Would Follow Him To Get Info About Former Dance Partner Leah Remini!

11/30/2015 4:21 PM ET | Filed under: Conspiracy Corner • Leah Remini • Dancing With The Stars • Crazzzzy • Gotta Have Faith • Controversy

That sounds scary!

Yikes!

On Sunday, Dancing With The Stars pro Tony Dovolani revealed there was a time when he was being followed by members of the Church of Scientology!

The dancer claimed Scientologists would follow him around in a car two years ago — while he was partnered with Leah Remini on the popular program!

The 42-year-old remembered:

"I know I was followed a few times. I think they try to find anything they can on a person and try to use it against them. They couldn't find anything on me because I'm a happily married dude. And I don't do anything wrong!"

The ballroom babe explained he wasn't scared by this unsettling discovery, saying:

"No. I live in a free country. I'm from Kosovo."

But he did rave about that tell-all memoir the King of Queens alum penned about her time with the Church, adding:
