According to Dr. Drew Pinskey (celebrity rehab) Tom Cruise may be suffering from some sort of mental illness.
Dr. Drew stated that,
A lot of people in the public eye, who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it based on childhood trauma, without doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, thats a function of a very deep emptiness and suggest serious neglect in childhood-maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.
Tom Cruise’s lawyer responded by saying that Pinsky is an “unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels.”
Dr Drew’s rep responded with, “Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful.”
Tom’s lawyer said that Pinsky is a “posturing flake” who “pretends to diagnose people he’s never met.”
Drew’s rep said,
Although Mr. Field’s intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again Dr. Drew meant no harm.
So does this mean that all of the 55,000 reported Scientologists in the U.S. are suffering from mental illness or just the ones that jump on couches when they get excited? Tell me what you think, is Tom Cruise mentally ill?

Nearly two years after his infamous couch jumping incident, Tom Cruise returns to The Oprah Winfrey Show. (Note to Oprah: bolt down your furniture.)
It will be a two-part show, one airing on May 2 and the other on May 5. The two-part taping will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Cruise’s first break-out movie performance in Risky Business.
The first part will be Oprah’s interview with Cruise at his home in Telluride, Colo. which will cover his “family, his life and the future,” Harpo said.
The second part will be taped in the studio were video messages from Cruise’s friends and colleagues honoring his work in the movie industry, will be shown.
Connor Cruise, the 13-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman, is already taking a stab at an acting career.Connor has a minor, non-speaking part in the upcoming Will Smith drama “Seven Pounds,” a spokesman for Columbia Pictures confirmed Tuesday. He shot his part, over two days, more than a month ago, playing Smith as a young man and mostly shown in photographs. Even with such famous acting mentors in his corner, Connor had to audition for the part. So since his famous mom and dad didn’t have anything to do with him getting the part it means he must be talented, right? I sure hope so.
“Tom is so proud of Connor,” says a source. “He’s proud of him for really doing this on his own.”
The movie, which is still in production, co-stars Rosario Dawson and is directed by “The Pursuit of Happyness” filmmaker Gabriele Muccino. The drama follows the story of a man who affects the lives of seven strangers.Even though this is really cute, I like the father-son team of Will and Jaden Smith more. Am I alone in this opinion? Help me out here, people!
According to InTouch magazine Katie Holmes is just now realizing that she needs a life beyond her husband Tom Cruise. I don’t know if it’s the fact that her career has pretty much tanked in the three years they’ve been together that’s the fire lit under her cute little behind, but something has gotten to her and the girl feels she has to run! One can only hope that maybe now she’ll have some life behind her eyes when she is interviewed!
Of course we are only counting the minutes until Tom’s statement is released denying that there is trouble in paradise.
Katie Holmes had told her friends that she feels like a “prisoner in my own home” after her husband, Tom Cruise, decided to have a $1.3 million security system installed in their Los Angeles home. A source close to Katie fears fear that she will not have any personal space away from her dominating husband.
“Because of his high profile, his children and his Scientology connections, Tom believes his family is vulnerable to potential kidnappers, stalkers and crazed fans. Katie will barely be able to move around her own home without being monitored by cameras and electrical devices.”
The source added:
“There will be codes and devices that only Tom will have the secret information to operate. It’s incredible how safe this house is now. Katie, who led a carefree life before she met Tom, says it’ll be like a prison. Every move she makes inside or outside their house will be recorded.”
Apparently Katie’s friends were already worried that she doesn’t have enough freedom as it is, but told Now magazine:
“At home she would often go to a bedroom of her own and spend hours there with Suri. Now she says she’ll feel as though there is no escape from Tom’s controlling ways. You can escape the eyes of another person by going to a different part of the house. But [Katie] knows she can’t escape the roving eyes of the cameras that are constantly sweeping the house.”
I feel sorry for the poor girl. I mean this is definitely an example of why we should be careful what we wish for. I don’t think that Katie Holmes had this type of life style in mind when she daydreamed of being Tom’s wife when she was younger.
Ex-scientologist Marc Headly is saying that Tom Cruise held auditions to find his next wife.
Headly, who previously produced promotional videos for the Scientology organization, spoke with Britain’s News of the World about Tom. After Tom’s split with Penelope Cruz in 2004, he apparently was having trouble trying to find the next woman to fill his void. The Scientology group got together to help Cruise out.
They figured that the best way to get some girls was to have a mock casting call for an “upcoming” Cruise movie. There were a few guidelines though, you had to be pretty, single and in your twenties. Tom’s picks: Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, in that order.
Jennifer and Jessica didn’t take the bait, and never showed up at the casting call. But Scarlett did, but the moment that she heard that the meeting was at a Scientology Center, she refused to go.
Being that Katie’s career was slowly drifting downwards after her breakup with Chris Kline, she jumped at the chance to meet her teenage crush. After there first meeting Cruise told Marc, “I knew immediately she was the one.”
Ah, saving the best for last. I think the whole setup was real cheesy, but apparently clever too because Tom got the girl of his dreams. Which we all know from him jumpin’ on Oprah’s couch and all.
The US is going to be slightly less attractive soon as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are moving to France for the birth of their second biological child.
England’s UK Sun has revealed that Angelina is not pregnant with twins as previously rumoured.She is pregnant with another girl and is apparently thrilled. The official story is that they are having the baby in France to honor Anglina’s late French-Canadian mother Marcheline Bertrand. It lame that they’re letting French weenies get first crack at their genetically superior offspring… but whatever.
Yeah… Shiloh is perfect. Blond hair, blue eyes. Hitler would be proud. TomKat will not be outdone by Brangelina’s baby machine. They too are rumored to be expecting. Deja Vu much? Didn’t this already happen two years ago with Suri and Shiloh. The only difference this time around is that no one really cares about TomKat’s baby (not genetically superior as Brangelina’s baby). Sorry, we’ve all seen Suri… not impressed.
Honestly Katie, why would you want another baby after already given birth in COMPLETE SILENCE the first time? Are you insane? Oh wait, you’re a Scientologist so… yes.
We all know that Tom Cruise is a total nutball. Yes, those beautiful eyes belong to that of a crazy person. Notice that he has no idea what’s going on behind the perfect smile.
Ok so if you haven’t already seen the video that was leaked about a week ago of Tom Cruise accepting a Scientology award… you missed out. Scientologists are very litigious and had it ripped from the internet. It brilliantly displayed how truly crazy and dillusional Tom Cruise is when he thinks no one is watching. Thank GOD he got a capable publicist that can get him to shut up. Remember that six month period when Tom Cruise was speaking his mind? Yeah, he’s clearly crazy but as long as he doesn’t flaunt his insanity in our face, we ignore it.
So… anyways, the point of this post is to check out a parody of that Scientology video. Jerry O’Connell (who also starred with Cruise in Jerry Maguire) gives a very funny performance as Tom Cruise. You have to watch it because Jerry is able to capture the essence of insanity that is Tom Cruise.
