Now that pretty young things Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips are planning on getting hitched, makes us wonder if their engagement party was as wild as Christina Ricci's deal. But more importantly, is this doable duo the new Scientology power couple?

The head honchos at the Scientology Celeb Centre simply must be aware that people follow celebs anywhere—even into religions. So which twosome is the best bet for getting some fresh meat onboard? Not who you'd expect:

Tom Cruise and Katie are pretty much king and queen of Scientology at the mo', but they're looking more and more entrenched in Beverly Hills domesticity (especially if Kate keeps donning soccer mom bobs and men's baggy jeans). And John Travolta and Kelly Preston would've been all the rage maybe 20 years ago. Who does that leave? Scraggly Jason Lee? Darling but kooky Juliette LewisUh, no thanks.

Looks like Danny and Bijou are the new set of sexy Scientologists—makes sense, too! Masterson's a hot DJ and Bij is a wild child—perfect combo to attract the next generation of L. Ron Hubbard worshippers.

Until Nicole Richie and Joel Madden convert, that is. All Nic has to do is star in a movie with Cruise and she'll never knew what hit her.
