Cruise, who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion, says the Suddenly Susan actress should have used vitamins to help her feelings of despair

Vitamins?

"These drugs are dangerous. I have actually helped people come off. When you talk about postpartum, you can take people today, women, and what you do is you use vitamins. There is a hormonal thing that is going on, scientifically, you can prove that. But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that. You can use vitamins to help a woman through those things."

Vitamins? :o

Tom's a Doctor now. :(

Celebrities view themselves as the f***ing Mozarts of their time. Even f***ing Ray Romano thinks he is an enlightened individual. These people all think they are enlightened artists and therefore speak for the country. But I haven’t met one celebrity who wasn’t a little bit f***ed up. Actors and actresses are the worst, because they are just f***ing monkeys. Half the people in this country can do what they do, but for some reason they think their opinion matters.

I, and the monkey community, find this highly offensive. We are far, far superior to actors and actresses. To compare us to them is an insult beyond measurement in gross tonnage of flung poop.

So start a riot in protest, killing a few of your fellow monkeys in the process.

Monkeys would never be so impolite!

We'll simply attack the next Hollywood Actors-Giving-Awards-To-Other-Actors ceremony. Those red carpet walks are just crying out for a pelting of rotten fruit. Just keep Joan Rivers away. The monkeys call her The Undead That Walks, or She Who Has Had Many Knives Up Her Face. She terrifies me. That braying donkey voice! That incessant chatter! That pointy, pointy face! The horror!
 
a reason to like Brad Pitt:

"You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a f---ing actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup." - Time, October 13, 1997

Yes, that is a reason to like Brad Pitt. I'm impressed. That makes a lot of sense.

When it comes to political issues, I want to hear the opinions of someone who makes sense. For example, consider the matter of China and Tibet. What does Brad Pitt have to say about that?
 
Well, from the reports I have heard regarding Tom Cruise's recent appearance on Oprah, apparently _he_ is one who is enjoying his "vitamins" as well.

From the descriptions, I get this vision of something like how they did Mel Gibson on South Park - except it wasn't a cartoon charicature, it was a real guy.

Constantly jumping around (standing on the couch even) along with incoherent babbling.

Cruise said something similar not so long ago. So I guess while Cruise doesn't consider himself an expert on the world scene, he does believe he's qualified to give out gratutitous medical advice.
 
Oh, I like it when actors and entertainers air their opinions on stuff. Who Bruce Willis thinks I should vote for, what color string Madonna thinks people should wear on their wrists to get magical powers, what diet the corpulent Dr Phil thinks is best, why Moby thinks I shouldn't wear fur....these are all fascinating opinions from people I've never met and don't care about, and I give them exactly the weight they deserve.

It just pisses me off when "celebrities" waste everyone's time with crap like that when they could be doing genuinely good work, like Audrey Hepburn did for UNICEF, or Jerry Lewis with his telethons.
 
If I had the ear of the media, shutting me up would probably be impossible.


/Awaits his 15 minutes of fame so he can tell the world how things should be...

So I wonder, do you make fun of everyone who suffers side effects from medication?

Are there any good cancer patients going through chemo who you can mock for being bald?
 
As soon as Tom Cruise gets post-partum depression he can talk about how to treat it. Until then, he should SHUT THE F*** UP!

Yes. I've made fun of every one of them, impossible as that may seems.

Hmmm, I don't know - do you know any?

When you get the stick removed from your ass, let me know if you suffer from any side-effects and I'll make fun of them too.
 
I don't mind celebs speaking their mind on political or social issues just as long as they're prepared to accept the consequences. If you're an actor whose job it is to make people happy by acting then people don't know or care what your political slants are. But as soon as you start using your notoriety that was gained by acting as a platform to speak on other issues you're essentially asking them to start judging you on a whole plethora of other issues and I don't think you have room to complain if their judgement doesn't turn out in the way you like.

Fame is the result of public whim but I sometimes think famous people have their butts kissed so much that they begin to believe that their fame isn't a result of public whim but rather a result of inherent superiority.
 
Just in case anyone is not aware of it, let me point out that Mr. Cruise is simply quoting Scientology doctrine: psychiatrists (and the drugs they prescribe) are evil.

...because "Scientology" was listed in the DSM IV as a severe mental illness.
 
Tom just can't stop making a fool of himself.

Cruise Launches War on Psychiatrists

Here's a link to the Access Hollywood interview.

Access Hollywood

"SAT scores have gone right down the toilet," he said. "The parents are blaming the teachers. The teachers are blaming the parents. Okay? And the psychs are putting everyone on drugs."

"You know what? I'm sure drug dealers on the street, in some way, they are making money. That's what I equate it to. Here is the thing: you have to understand, with psychiatry, there is no science behind it. And to pretend that there is a science behind it is criminal."

What a Jackass.
