Church of Scientology to buy historic Muppet Studios on lot established by Charlie Chaplin

The Henson family announced over the summer that they were selling the landmark lot - once home to Charlie Chaplin Studios - which will now be part of the ever-expanding Church of Scientology.

After Chaplin, the studio would become the home of A&M Records founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss in 1962, used for numerous popular albums including Lady Gaga's "Chromatica" and Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories."

It is unclear what use the Church will find for a studio that traces its history to the Golden Age of Hollywood, though the Muppets Studio will reportedly remain a tenant at the site.

The historic Hollywood studio was first established by Charlie Chaplin in 1919, creating some of his most iconic films, including "The Dictator," "The Kid," and "Modern Times."
