Shields responded by calling Cruise "dangerous," and suggested the star stick to "saving the world from aliens," a reference to the 2005 Cruise film, War of the Worlds.

Oh. I thought it was a reference to his cult.

I trust that both Brooke and Katie’s babies were delivered by the traditional method.
