   'Tom Cruise hires bodyguards to fend off evil galactic ruler'   
      
   Film star Tom Cruise has hired extra bodyguards to protect him from an   
   ancient galactic tyrant, Hollywood sources revealed yesterday.   
      
   Cruise is a member of the Church of Scientology, which teaches its   
   followers that, millions of years ago, an evil interstellar ruler called   
   Xenu brought trillions of people to earth and blew them up in volcanoes to   
   solve galactic overcrowding. After this incident, known to scientologists   
   as the "Wall of Fire", Xenu himself was captured and taken to an   
   undisclosed planet where scientologists believe he is still imprisoned   
   today. The souls of the people he killed linger on and infect all people   
   living now, except scientologists like Tom Cruise who know how to expel   
   them, thus thwarting Xenu's evil plans.   
      
   Tom's fear of a Xenu attack is said to have arisen after hearing the song,   
   'Message from Xenu', by UK band, The Truth Rockets, which describes how   
   Xenu has escaped from his prison and is on his way to Hollywood in a DC8 to   
   get Tom and his wife, who is also a scientologist. As the most prominent   
   proponent of Scientology, Tom believes that an escaped Xenu would likely   
   come after him personally, possibly using psychiatrists to drug and capture   
   him.   
      
   "Ok, maybe it's just a song ... " Tom is reported to have said, "... but   
   you don't know what I do about psychiatry! If you did you'd know   
   everything's possible. I can't afford to take chances."
