As far as their spiritual development, no.

I believe the "guys at the top" are definitely wanting the celebs to have a positive impact. In LA we have a facility called Celebrity Center which is specifically designed to give them superior service. As far as I know, Cruise has donated the most $ of any of them, but I don't know how that is handled. I have seen and believe Scientology helps people. Cruise does too, but he's in a much better position to get the word out as a lot of people are interested in celebs and he has the opportunity to rub shoulders with some top guys in society. When you promote something the way he has with Scientology, you're going to get hit. But, he believes the world needs help that Scientology can provide, so he promotes. My goal (and I believe his) is not to make everyone "become" a Scientologist, but to provide access to the "tools" Scientology has and let someone try them and see if it doesn't improve some conditon for them.
