Shields Says Cruise Has Apologized
Sat Sep 02,11:34 AM ET
Brooke Shields says Tom Cruise has apologized for publicly criticizing her use of antidepressants after the birth of her first daughter.
The two had a public beef last year after the "Mission: Impossible III" star, echoing the position of Scientology, said in an appearance on NBC's "Today" show that depression can be treated with exercise and vitamins rather than drugs.
The 41-year-old actress says Cruise apologized in person Thursday.
"He came over to my house, and he gave me a heartfelt apology," Shields said Friday during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." "And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened.
"And through it all, I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was. And I didn't feel at any time that I had to defend myself, nor did I feel that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that he was deeply sorry. And I accepted it."
Cruise's spokesman confirmed the celebrities made up.
"It is true that his friendship with Ms. Shields has been mended," spokesman Arnold Robinson said in a statement. "He has not changed his position about antidepressants, which as evidenced by the black label warnings issued by the FDA on these types of drugs, are unhealthy."
Shields, who wrote "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression," has dismissed the actor's remarks as a "ridiculous rant" and "a disservice to mothers everywhere."
Oh jeez. I posted to the wrong sector. Can I have this changed to "Breaking News" please?
Tom is a putz
HAHAHAHAHA!
Thank you. I image googled "Cruise putz" after the stuner's remarks (above, albaby is the father of beebers and stuners) so that was the photo that came up. Funny how Ophrah looks a lot like that singer, wife of Bobby Brown.

"Damn it IceMan..I had to go kiss her ass.........
Yeah...they're killing me at the box office and they think I'm gay and a scientology whackjob!!!
"I'm not a whackjob!!"
I can't tell you how much we all laughed at this...
Thanks...
The last time I posted a vanity, I got blasted from some posting police named JockOLantern or something like that. I'm hoping the posting police will at least thank me for my posting improvements. Thanks for noticing the humor.
For the life of me, I couldn't remember her name. Senior moment. Thanks
I'm still chuckling, it was perfect.
DB, that's pretty good copy.
"And through it all, I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was."
Brooke? You're really cute, and your TV show, though short-lived, was pretty funny...eventhough I don't remember the name of it...but Tom is an ACTOR. His apology wasn't heartfelt! He just got FIRED from his movie studio. He's on Damage Control 24/7 these days. He's a loser. A fruitcake, and I just wish he'd go gay already and get it over with!
Why Nicole hasn't ratted him out yet is a mystery to me. Money CAN buy everything, I guess. ;)
You are welcome. Thanks for your time you invest at FR.
I'm thinking back a few years when Cruise was dating Penelope Cruz. She's was quite silent too, after their split. Must be subcontracted under the Redstone/Cruise agreement.
I think they did that movie Vanilla Sky together and I thought it quite good
My husband loves "Vanilla Sky" and I think he's watched it 10 times by now. He either really loves me and would search Heaven and Earth to find me, or he wants to kill me, LOL!
Vanilla Sky is a re-make of a foreign film (which I'm sure is much jucier) but I can't remember the name of that film right now. Sorry.
