NEW YORK - Tom Cruise was all smiles talking about his movie and his fiancee on NBCs Today show, but the smile disappeared when Matt Lauer mentioned Cruises earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants.
Cruise got very serious and kept saying Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt every time Lauer said he knew people who were helped by anti-depressants.
Shields took them for her post-partum depression. As a Scientologist, Cruise doesnt believe in those kinds of drugs or therapy of any kind.
At one point Cruise told Lauer, Youre glib and said Lauer didnt know what he was talking about. The star launched into a detailed discussion of the use of the prescription drug Ritalin.
It's very impressive to listen to you, Lauer replied, because clearly, you've done the homework. And you know the subject.
And you should, Cruise retorted. He also told Lauer, You dont know the history of psychiatry. I do.
The NBC anchor told Cruise he had known people who had been helped by psychiatric drugs. Cruise then accused Lauer of advocating the use of Ritalin.
Lauer asked Cruise how he could get more people to understand Scientology, the controversial religion practiced by Cruise and other celebrities like John Travolta.
You just communicate about it," Cruise said. If I want to know something, I go and find out. Because I don't talk about things that I don't understand.

The meltdown continues.
Maybe Tom has a secret crush on Matt.
(steely)
At what exact moment did Cruise officially lost his mind? Was it when he decided to take the porsche out? or was it when he threw garbage at Craig T.Nelson's house?
Ole' Tom getting whackier by the day.
Sounds like he needs a little of the help he hates.
Here's a though for today.. Travolta is a Scientologist, AND he flies his own 747...DHS, pick up the courtesy phone please..
Bet Matt could have pushed him totally over the edge with this: "You know, Tom, some people say that psychiatry is even able to cure homosexuality. What do you say to that?"
Gay cat fight.
Will someone PLEASE slap TC up side the head!
Geez, what an idiot!
Xemu is calling...
Tom better watch it, if he heaps more negative publicity on the "church," he might end up getting in an 'accident.'
>Xemu is calling...
and Tom keeps answering...
LOL. Next he'll say he invented psychiatry...
PLAGARIZING MYSELF:
Sounds like the babbling idiot Tom has the attention span and intellectual depth of a cocker spaniel. They are perfect knuckleheads these 'celebrities' or why would anything and everything under the sun make such a dramatic impression on them? They are prey to every fanaticism in the world. No emotional or moral rudder...you are PREY to idiots and idiocy! STFU Tom.
Tom got testy at a presser in Boston this week when a reporter asked if there is a relationship with Scientology and the movie version of War of the Worlds.
