Will Smtih issued another denial on Monday (September 15) about continuing reports that he has joined Scientology.

At the premiere of 'Lakeview Terrace,' Smith told Fox News that he held discussions with anti-Scientology group Anonymous to clarify claims a school he funded was teaching the practices of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.

"You can take different parts of things you like and put them all together," Smith explained about the schools teachings.

Anonymous released a statement at the time saying, "We appreciate Will's interest in our efforts and his openness in speaking with us directly. It shows his concern both as a parent and educator."

When asked if he had become a Scientologist, Smith answered directly, "I am not."

Brad Pitt announced Wednesday that he's donating $100,000 to fight California's Proposition 8, a November ballot initiative that would eliminate same-sex couples' right to marry.

"Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8," the actor said in a statement.

Pitt's donation marks the largest thus far to the anti-Prop. 8 campaign by an A-list celebrity.
