Lopez and Carrey deny they're Scientology converts

Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey have laughed off reports their newfound friendship with Tom Cruise is proof of a burgeoning interest in his Scientology religion.

Insiders tell the New York Post that Catholic-raised Lopez has been slowly introduced to the controversial religion by her friend Leah Remini, who stars in US comedy show King Of Queens, while funnyman Carrey is taking introductory courses in the religion.
