(Newser) – Despite months of speculation, Will Smith tells Fox News that “I am not” a Scientologist; he even agreed to speak with the anti-Scientologist group Anonymous. Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who are close friends with Scientologist Tom Cruise, opened a school which uses Scientology teaching tools. But, “You can take different parts of things you like and put them all together,” Smith explains.
