Tom Cruise criticized NBC "Today" show host Matt Lauer on Friday when Lauer mentioned Cruise's earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants. Cruise told Lauer he didn't know what he was talking about. "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do," Cruise said.
The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug.
"Matt, Matt, you don't even — you're glib," Cruise responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done."

This story has been around for a few days now, but Fox has a pretty nice summary of the details and the timeline as it's known. The gist of it is that Katie Holmes, who has always been extremely close to her family and friends and always appeared devoted to her agent and manager, disappeared for 16 days in April. 16 days where no one knew where to find her, 16 days where she had no contact with anyone she had always been close too, 16 days that immediately proceeded her explosion on the public scene as the girlfriend of Tom Cruise and a new convert to the church of Scientology.
Some people might find it curious that things like this seem to keep happening to people immediately before pledging allegiance to Scientology. And that weirdness is a completely random event that seems to follow these people 100 percent of the time. But Katie Holmes insists on wearing hilariously high heels whenever she and Tom Cruise are in public, so there’s at least an once of resistance left in the girl. She does blink a lot however, and someone who knows morse code might want to look into that. I knew this dude who got duped by Scientology one day and ended up stuck in their center in Hollywood for like 10 hours. I totally meant to go save him, but then his girlfriend gave me a hand job and I got pretty sleepy.
I think his name is Baala Xenu now.
please hit abuse on yourself. That is making me sick.
The ONLY problem with Scientology...?
Tommy is loosing it.
L Ron Hubbard + Tom Cruise = 0
I am beginning to have some pity for this new girl.. Cruise is smoozing.. hopeful she has some friends that knows the black hole scientolgy is.. This boy is gone, gone, gone..
One only wonders at the stuff he tryed to pass by Spielberg.. and the laughs privately when Cruise was not present..
Arrogant creep.
Which one?
Ah......the Battle of the Arrogant Creeps!! Has a ring to it! ;-)
Is Speilberg going to depress all of us and have the aliens win?
With Cruise the last earthling alive?
It's funny you should mention that. If I didn't know better, and if TC didn't make such a fuss about being drug-free, I would say that his recent behavior is symptomatic of a drug binge.
LOL.
Cruise.
LOL! The sad fact is, there are credulous chumps right here on FR who will tell you Tom Cruise really knows his stuff! *sigh*
Free Katie....I am starting to believe they ACTUALLY held her and brainwashed her.
In 2 weeks she changes everything she ever believed in (was reportedly pretty conservative compared to hollywood and intelligent). Supposedly Toledo is shocked.
After reading some of the court documents on Scientology horror stories and "auditing" and the like...I'm not sure its so farfetched anymore.
Where is Mulder!
LOL. Well done...
At this point, I'm going with "or what". A lot of men have been able to navigate their early 40s with a bit more finesse than Boy-Tom. However, at least he got some of the midlife crisis crazies right. He did get the young girlfriend and he's probably got several sports cars, so what's left but to lose it on Oprah and the Today Show?
