The former Quaker State pitch-woman called the claims &#8220;bulls\u2014t&#8221; and told <em>People<\/em> magazine, &#8220;I think Jennifer knows how to get pregnant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, she certainly knows how to get married&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would never question, &#8216;Such-and-such is hanging out. Does anybody know her religious beliefs? Because that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re probably hanging out together,'&#8221; the actress continued. Remini&#8217;s comments make sense. If J. Lo was going to convert, wouldn&#8217;t it be due to her father&#8217;s influence, who has been a Scientologist for over 20 years?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always seemed a contradiction to me that such an outspoken woman would be a member of such a hush-hush religion, but I&#8217;m glad to hear that the Brooklyn-bred babe is speaking out with her usual aplomb remarking that she too is &#8220;fabulous to hang out with.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;King of Queens&#8221;
