Lately, there's been a buzz about the Jim Henson Company selling its iconic La Brea Avenue studio lot to the Church of Scientology. But hold on, folks! It turns out this isn't happening anytime soon. The Henson family has made it clear that they aren't doing any business with Scientology and have no plans to sell their historic property to them.

This studio has been around since 1917 and was once known as the Charlie Chaplin Studios. In 1999, the Henson family scooped it up for a cool $12.5 million, making it the headquarters of The Jim Henson Company. You might think Disney owns this place because of The Muppets, but nope! This studio is all about the Henson family and their creative work.

The Church of Scientology has been making headlines with some tough issues like Danny Masterson's trial and disputes with ex-member Leah Remini. But as far as the Henson lot goes, it seems they haven't made any moves to buy it. A well-placed source said the Church hasn't approached the Hensons about this property at all.

Scientology owns a bunch of properties in LA and around the world, including the massive ex-Cedars of Lebanon Hospital and the historic Château Élysée. So, it's no surprise that rumors flew about them buying the Henson lot too. But as Kermit once said, what's really important isn't just buildings or names—it's about caring for each other.
