It is so funny because Cruise has had plastic surgery and that required lots of drugs. Moreover, let one of their kids get sick and their tune likely will change.

Finally, I think everyone agrees that going on psychtrophic drugs, etc., is not the first choice anyone makes. Moreover, those drugs cannot make you whole, whatever that may be. But, to many who need them to make their brains somewhat better, the side effects are well worth it. I think the problem happens when they are over or mis perscribed, as they often are.

I do agree that drugs are often over/mis prescribed. I definitely don't have an argument with Cruise, et al., that Ritalin is over prescribed. But, lashing out against all prescription drugs (and psychiatric drugs in particularl) is way over the top. As you said, these drugs are needed by some people. Cruise's claim to Matt Lauer that "there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance" just goes to show how blatently ignorant he is. I wonder if he realizes that Brooke Shields (who he criticized for taking Paxil post-partum) lost a bipolar co-star that killed himself after going off his medication. I'm sure his family would disagree that "there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance".

I wouldn't be surprised if Cruise has laid down the law with Katie that she's not allowed to have an pain medication when she gives birth. If so I really hope she beats the sh*t out of him during labor. I've had a child, and know how painful it is. My epidural wore off during labor, and I was in excrutiating pain. If you can get through labor without drugs, great. But nobody should be forced to go without, if they need it. Also, god forbid she suffers from post-partum depression. He'll probably just throw some vitamins at her and tell her to run around the block a few times.

I think he should try shiitting a watermelon without crying out and sucking on a Vitamen C

Then again, I think and hear he is a bottom, so I am sure it already is stretched out

needs to have an object the size of a watermelon come out a hole the size of a lemon before he assumes to know what the f**k is going on in the world.

Hey Tom, As Suicidal Tendencies once sang "Suicide is an alternative"...So PLEASE try it, Of course I can WILLINGLY provide the ammo!

I had horrible back labor. That was the only place the epidural wore off! Back labor feels like someone is repeatedly hitting you in the small of your back with a sledgehammer! Not fun at all. If it had worn off everywhere, I don't think I'd be here today... I would have either killed myself or killed someone in the delivery room! As it was, I almost strangled my nurse because she took it upon herself to turn my epidural pump off completely so I'd feel the contractions in my stomach. When my doctor found out, she made her turn it back on, thank god!

if Katie has post-partum depression she should UNLOAD the magazine into Tom's body (Tom's newest fave song will be Pat Traver's "Boom Boom Out Goes the Lights")...Then for a joke call the ER to see if they can save him WITHOUT giving him any "pain meds", Then have the ER pump him full (We know Tom likes being "pumped full" dont we?) as many "pain meds" as humanly possible to burst his ego-driven brainwashed, stupified, suckass **** for an actor SCIEN-A-TARD ass!

The only thing about Scientology that bothers me is that it is referred to as a "religion". L. Ron Hubbard is not a saviour, is not a religious figurehead.

I mean, c'mon, Werner Erhard's EST (& now "The Forum") isn't considered "religion" and Scientology is just a similar organization (albeit with a more massive & celebrity-driven membership)

Yeah, he's a freak. By the way, what's this "silent birth" thing? And what other totally wacky, spaced out **** can the Scientologists come up with next?

I like using this 'con a lot when discussing Scientologists:

Was she really only 17? I knew she was younger than him, but I didn't know she was THAT young.

Stole someone's fiancee?? Sounds like he has "girl trouble up the ass" more than being looney .

I could go for that!

I absolutely loathe the man after his comments towards Brooke Shields about PPD, and to Matt Lauer about psychiatry. Her response was great. Until he can give birth himself, he has no business telling a woman how to treat PPD.

And his statement that "there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance" makes my blood boil. I know people who bi-polar family members, and when they're not on their medication, they are dangerous to themselves. I also know many people who are depressed, and I have suffered from depression myself. Telling someone to take vitamins to get over it is a crock of ****! And when you're that depressed, you barely have enough energy to get out of bed in the morning, much less exercise.

He definitely needs to be "taught a lesson", and I think Katie's the best person to deliver it, in the midst of her PPD.

99.9999999999% of all celebrities & their PATHETIC lifestyle drama...Just entertain me for a few hours then go F.O.A.D.. I dont care what their religious/political/etc views are, Just entertain me (Or in most cases TRY to entertain me) because I will not jump onto something and nutswing just because a famous "so-and-so" says it works for them.

As for Psycho-Tom, I had to take Lexapro for a "chemical imbalance" which was making me freak out last Spring and suffer severe anxiety/stress problems (I guess with losing a parent, Life has a way of ripping a new A-HOLE on ya) and believe me it took the edge off of me.

If Psycho-Tom was to say to me to get over whatever is bothering me and that no "medicine will help" I would kick my foot so far up his ass he would have to open his mouth so I could tie my shoestrings!

I just hope when whoever-it-is that shows Psycho-NUT a reality check, that this event (aka "Almost Impossible Mission") is showed on TV (I love when celebrities have their "Fall From Grace") so I can have some comedic entertainment for once.

Yup, she wasn't legal. The other one was young too but at least she was in her 20s. He just strikes me as really odd too in interviews. I didn't like Seinfeld because of him but I liked the other characters. I don't think he's funny. Also, the stupid black jeans with button down shirt in every episode drove me nuts. Who does that?
