Today's Blind Items - Private Church

A lot of celebrities have private chapels on their property and that has been the case for a very long time. There have been celebrities who have started and of course participated in cults which are always trying to get your money. There are churches that really hammer you to give 10%. This is the first time I can remember a celebrity who started a church and has a monthly membership fee and that is on top of the one time initiation fee. This A list celebrity "offers a space for worship where you can be alone with your thoughts and not worry about who may be taking your photo while praying." The celebrity uses an existing church for this celebrity worship service. No phones allowed. The initiation fee is about $50K and the monthly fee is $5K. The reason for the fees is to keep it exclusive and to pay rent and a portion of the salary of the pastor. Apparently, it is taking a big bite into some of the other celebrity churches. The celebrity is making a bunch of money from this. They have about 100 members.
