SHIELDS ATTACKS CRUISE FOR CRITICISING HER DRUG USE

LATEST: Actress BROOKE SHIELDS has lambasted former pal TOM CRUISE for criticising her "misguided" use of drugs to combat her post-natal depression.

Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - recently attacked the SUDDENLY SUSAN star for becoming dependant on Paxil, following the birth of her daughter ROWAN.

But Shields is disgusted by the TOP GUN star's "dangerous" comments and took a swipe at his Scientology beliefs, by saying she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to creatures from outer space.

She fumes, "His comments are dangerous. He should stick to saving the world from aliens.
Shields is currently weaning herself off her medication so she and husband CHRIS HENCHY can have another child.

Once again, hurtful words ends another friendship.

Yeah,this is going to be another Christina-Britney rivalry. :rolleyes:

Its not a rivalry - they're not in competition for audiences.

I don't blame Brooke one bit and am glad she's spoken up and defended herself. He's the one that embarrassed a "friend" in the press. Hopefully he'll get the message (I'm sure his website has been inundated with pissed off fans) and just shut up and stick to his alien religion.

Good for you Brooke

I'm glad she's said something back to him. He deserves it.

you go girl

Good. Tom Cruise is an ass wipe anyway.

I'm glad she spoke up.

GO BROOKE!

Way way back in 1969 when I had my first baby( I was only 19) I had what is now called post-mortum depression. In those days there was no such thing! I thought I was a terrible human being for feeling this way. I cried all the time and thought that there was something totally wrong with me! I had this beautiful baby girl and I thought that my life as I knew it would never be the same. It wasn't of course. But luckily I and my lovely daughter survived. I was so young. Nobody understood my depression and I tried to hide it. But now my daughter is a beautiful 35 year old woman with a husband and two gorgeous children. I am so grateful for them! Tom Cruise is an idiot. Yes, postmortum depression is a real thing. I support Brooke and Marie Osmond (who had a severe case) totally. I was strong enough to overcome this on my own but I realize that that not all women can.
I can only say that please support these women! This can be a very real problem. Please help them! :eek:

Woohooo!! You go Brooke! :thumbsup: No one deserves to be attacked like that and I'm glad she stood up for herself. And for everyone else on antidepressents/antianxiety pills.

But the Nuns are still on their way, right?

lol...I think you mean post-partum. Post-mortum would mean you were dead. And that you were a ghost using the internet...which would actually be pretty cool. :D

But I totally agree. I think PPD is one of those things that a lot of women don't want to talk about, and it's more prevalent than you think. But just like all other depressions, people without it don't understand it at all.

But the Nuns are still on their way, right?

Oh you bet. They'll be at all his premieres. :devil:

OOps! I am very sleepy! I used the wrong term! Eek! :eek: ! :lol: :lol: :crazy: Sorry!

Nah, it's cool. :D

These nuns have a little :devil: inside them. ;) :angdev:

Well, they are the first nuns I've seen with guns. I like the way that sounds: Nuns with Guns!

Isn't that a rock group ?! :eek3:

That's what I plan on doing when I die. I wonder if I'd have to register under a new username... Mmmm...

Isn't that a rock group ?! :eek3:

Wow! You're right it is. Who knew?

Go, Brooke!! I've always liked her. I practically grew up with her, not physically but she's only a month younger than me, so I've followed her career since she started in movies.

I like how the article read 'former pal' Tom Cruise. Who knew they were even friends to begin with?

BTW, I told my sister about this and she's a pharmacy tech and knows an awful lot about meds and she told me that you can't become addicted to Paxil. What do I know? I guess I've been lucky that I haven't had to take anything like that.

While this is a little disturbing, it also seems to be right up your alley Johnny! ;)

It is true Brooke developed an addiction to this drug, but she is trying to overcome this
problem with the help of her husband, so I think Tom Cruise ought to leave her alone.

That's what my Dr. told me too. It just hurts to go off of it because it affects brain chemicals, that's why you can't cold turkey quit it.

I have been on anti-depressants for a couple years, and when I heard Tom Cruise made those comments about Brooke, it really pissed me off. If it weren't for anti-depressants, I don't know where I'd be today, but I can guarantee you, I wouldn't be in nearly as good of a place as I am now. I applaud Brooke for standing up for herself!! I just hope Tom doesn't get his new girlfriend to buy into that Scientology crap. Hopefully she's not so in love, that she's willing to abandon her Faith, just to make him happy.

Pissed me off for the same reason.

Actually, the killer is that these drugs aren't even addictive or habit forming. They misinterpreted that also - people aren't hooked on them, but you just need to be weaned off of them so that it doesn't trigger another chemical imbalance in the brain - that's all. I ran out of my prescription and couldn't get to the doctor for a session and renewal, but felt good enough anyway. I didn't even get into any problems going off cold turkey, but I think I was just lucky.

Tom has no idea of what he's talking about here.

Good. Tom Cruise is an ass wipe anyway.I always saw him more as an assclown. Anyways, glad Brooke Shields made a public statement over this and most importantly is doing better.

Tom Cruise is gay.

Oh my, is he now going to sue my ass because he is sooo confident in his heterosexuality and his spaceman religion.

Up, up, and away!!!

Oh, and I guess being gay is a bad thing according to Tom.

Hey dlemond, I love your icon. Wedge was one of my favorite characters!

D

:rofl:

Having his sister be his PR Person sounds a bit more suspicious, now doesn't it?

Her name is Brooke!
*clap clap*
She did drugs once!
*clap clap*
She bitched out Cruise
*clap clap*
So check her out!

I for one am proud of Brooke for saying that. She didn't even seem pissed off or take his moronic comments seriously so good for her. :D


Lol I also heard that Nicole Kidman saw Tom acting crazy on the Oprah show and she said "Maybe he should've gone on Dr. Phil" :rotflmao:

very nice to see someone in Hollywood attacking Scientology.

Brooke Shields is awesome and a true Hollywood survivor story. I always loved to watch Suddenly Susan

Yeah, nice to see she wasn't recruited like everyone else in wackytown. :crazy:

Her name is Brooke!
*clap clap*
She did drugs once!
*clap clap*
She bitched out Cruise
*clap clap*
So check her out!great to see you have the spartan sprit pleasant tomorrow. anyway im going to do what tom should have done and not comment one way or the other on this hot button issue why comment on a subject when he or i dont have all our facts in order

Go Brooke! :clap: She used drugs but she's getting over it in her own way. It was none of Tom's business and he had no right to make those comments.

SHIELDS MOCKS CRUISE AND HOLMES' ROMANCE

http://ads.contactmusic.com/htdocs/images/artist/brookeshieldsap.jpg


Actress BROOKE SHIELDS and TOM CRUISE's ongoing feud has intensified - after the SUDDENLY SUSAN star mocked the16 year age-gap between the actor and his new girlfriend KATIE HOLMES.

Cruise - who has helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - recently attacked Shields for becoming dependant on anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter ROWAN.

And Shields has continued her war of words against Cruise following his "dangerous" comments, by offering him a child ticket so he can take Holmes to see her in hit London musical CHICAGO.

She says, "If he wants to see Chicago, I've left him two tickets - one adult, one child."

The actress recently took a swipe at Cruise's religious beliefs, by saying she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to aliens.

:brent

:brent
Yeah, this is getting interesting. As far as I know, Cruise hasn't commented since his initial remarks. I'll bet he wishes he kept his mouth shut. Sounds like Brooke has a case of post-Cruise aggression going on. Not post-partum, mind you, but equally unpredictable. :lol:

Go Brooke. You tell him!!

:rofl: Way to go Brooke.

I don't blame her a bit!!! Don't tell me he was trying to "be a friend" - what friend does that to you in the media?! He should have known. I always liked him, but he's sure shown that he's not as smart as he thinks he is by opening his big yap.

I'd love to see a "friend" of his come forward and blab to the media something quite personal like his bout with jock-itch or clap and how all he needed was mind over matter to get over it! Dork! :p

I heard on a talk show that Cruise let go his longtime manager. This manager always advised him that it was in the best interest of his career if he didn't preach about Scientology.

That manager was replaced with Cruise's sister, who is into Scientology herself. This may explain his sudden behavior change. He came out of the starting gate running on all fours. Looks like it's backfiring.

One thing about Brooke Shields, she's extremely likable. If you didn't watch her grow up, you grew up with her. She's a little treasure. It's almost impossible to dislike her.

Cruise chose the wrong person as his pet project.

I know Brooke Shields was always a favorite of mine. I used to have a huge crush on her. Tom Cruise actually made his Big Screen debut in her movie Endless Love.

Tom Cruise and Scientology:

Praying to the Aliens
by Gary Numan
from the 1979 album Replicas

Slowly the thought
There is no one to replace
Came into view
And he began to cry
Now only boys
That love only boys
The perfect picture
Of a boy/girl age

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

Grey overcoat
And he could be anyone
A random poll check
Do you ever think of women?
They broke him down
Into a torn old queen
Living somewhere
Between dead and dying

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

There are no more
Do you begin to see?
The corner of my eye
Could give me away
Isn’t it strange
How times change?
I can’t imagine
Living any other way

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

:notworthy :ufo: :alien1

I had to go to one of the movie sites to get his name. He was credited 18th in the cast and he played a character named Billy. Thats probably where their friendship started.

Shooting off your mouth in the press is the easiest way to ruin a friendship.

Tom Cruise is coming up on Leno in 20 minutes for those on the East Coast. I'm wondering if he'll say anything about the Brooke Shield's controversy.

I'll turn him on. I got Letterman on right now. :lol:

Tom Cruise is coming up on Leno in 20 minutes for those on the East Coast. I'm wondering if he'll say anything about the Brooke Shield's controversy.There was no mention of Brooke Shields or his scamming cult.

Did he jump up and down on Leno's couch??

I watched Russell Crowe on Letterman instead. You know, a sane celeb. ;)

Did he jump up and down on Leno's couch??Yes he did like a good little spaceman.
