Leah Remini, former King of Queens star and current booty shaking ex-Scientologist, opened up to her dance partner about leaving the church on last night's Dancing With the Stars. She still sounds kind of messed up. "The church is looking for me to fail so they can say to their parishioners, 'Look what happens when you leave,'" Remini told Tony Dovolani. "They’re waiting for me to fail." Yeah, David Miscavige and Co. probably aren't calling in to vote for her, but with 24 points she's doing a lot better than, say, beloved Internet favorite Bill Nye.

What we'd really like to know is how Leah chooses where she talks about leaving the Church. People magazine, The Ellen Degeneres Show and now DWTS. What, is 60 Minutes not good enough for you?

And then, after talking about everything her family has gone through and all the blame the church heaps on her, she launched into a blistering samba.
