Team Tom is shrinking by the minute!!

After Katie Holmes ended her marriage to Tom Cruise, she and daughter Suri also ended their relationship with Scientology!

That should've been extra bad news for Tom, considering practicing members of his religion are SUPPOSED to shun anyone who leaves the fold.

As Scientology's most famous face, however, Tom follows a different set of rules!

Nancy Many, former president of the Scientology celebrity center, admitted:

Along with many others around the country, we were VERY dissappointed by Tracy Morgan's discriminatory words during his stand up comedy act in Tennessee earlier this month, but we're happy to see him making the effort to make amends.

Most recently, the comedian met with homeless gay teens and victims of anti-gay violence in New York on Friday.

During the meeting organized by GLAAD, Tracy spoke with Jayden Love and Raciel Castillo, whose sexuality was unfortunately shunned by their families which forced them to live on the streets.

The two teens appreciated their opportunity to meet with Tracy and hope their stories change more than just his perspective on the LGBT community, saying:

"We really appreciate that we were able to meet with Tracy Morgan … We hope that our stories have the power to change not only Tracy's perspective, but those of any parent who may be struggling with accepting their child."

How could anyone ever do that to their CHILDREN? Truly disgusting and tragic! If you can't love a child for who they are, then do the world a favor and DON'T have kids!

We hope Tracy learned his lesson and has opened his eyes to damaging effects of homophobia!

Next up, the 30 Rock star is heading back to where this mess all began and plans on apologizing to the people he offended when he meets with the Tennessee Equality Project and local advocates.

Do U think Tracy Morgan is on the path to forgiveness?

It seems like he's pretty comfortable with his choice, so more power to him!

Jim Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial film, The Passion of the Christ, recently spoke out about portraying the son of God on film during a speech at a Florida mega-church in promotion of a new audiobook version of the Bible, and claimed that his participation in the click resulted in being shunned by Hollywood!

He explained:

"I was rejected in my own industry. [Prior to filming, Mel Gibson] He said, 'You'll never work in this town again.' I told him, 'We all have to embrace our crosses.' In my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus. Jesus is as controversial now as he has ever been. Not much has changed in 2,000 years. Mel Gibson, he's a horrible sinner, isn't he? Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers."

Well, it seems as though it was a very important role for him to take, at least spiritually, so we hope that he doesn't look back with too much regret!

What do U think? Should Jim have been shunned for appearing in The Passion of the Christ?
