Tom Cruise joins Travolta at Scientology bash

Taking a, no-doubt welcome break from their ongoing court case, John Travolta and wife, Kelly  Preston joined Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and around 40,000 close friends at a huge Scientology party in England last Friday, so Us has confirmed.

The quartet were unannounced guests at the ‘International Association of Scientologists’ 25th Anniversary bash at a real English mansion, somewhere along the sleepy, sun-dappled back roads of Sussex.

During speeches that lasted two jaw-cracking hours,  the Mission Impossible star took his turn, briefly addressing the emotional, fist-pumping throng, “Because we never took our eyes off the ultimate prize, we stand where we are today,” he enthused. “We are in this together!”

In what, precisely, he chose not to share.

Next came a choir, which filled Tom with joy and the hi-profile trio were soon on their feet, “Tom was swaying and looked like he was in heaven,” one witness told Us. “He was really into it. Katie was doing her best to look as enthusiastic; She was clapping along, but was totally out of sync. Suri was just looking bemused in a cute party dress.” so we’re told.

And what about John, you may ask? Travolta and his wonderful wife were seated nearby and seemed far more muted, “John and Kelly were holding hands,” an onlooker reports. “They looked like a very united couple.”

During a later reception, Cruise was overheard chatting to a friend about some anti-Scientology protesters who had gathered outside, “They’re squirrels,” he said angrily. “Stuck in an electronic incident. It makes me so angry!”

The evening completed, the Cruise family departed at about 11 p.m. Their exact destination at the time was unknown, but Tom owns a luxurious $5-million, six-bedroom home in the exclusive community of nearby Dormans Park, so that’s a fair guess.
