We all know that Tom Cruise doesn’t like doctors, modern medicine or people who are anti-Scientology, so after Dr. Drew Pinsky was quoted as saying the actor may have a mental illness, he threw his lawyers on it.

In next month’s Playboy, Dr. Drew says, “A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.”

So far Cruise himself has failed to comment on the matter, but instead had his attorney speak for him.

“This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels [a Nazi propagandist].”

Yeah well, Dr. P is super yummy hot, and I’ll believe whatever he tells me! Although that may stem from some childhood traum…oh nevermind.

Cher told Oprah Winfrey that when she was 39 and Tom Cruise was 23, they hooked up.

Cher, now 61, says that if it wouldn’t have been for their hectic work schedules they may have had a “great big romance.” She adds, “I was crazy about him.”

The couple reportedly met at a White House fund raising event in the mid 80s.

“He was shy,” she told Oprah. “He said he felt like such a boob in school and nobody talked to him. We went on a date once for dinner in a New York restaurant and the waitress was from his old school. He told me she never talked to him back in school, but now he was recognized he got all her attention.”

The audience particularly loved it when Cher spoke of a night they spent together.

Cruise dumped Cher a couple months later for another older woman, Mimi Rogers, who was six years older than him. Tom and Mimi married but split three years later.

A hysterical little War of the Worlds spoof about Tom Cruise, John Travolta and the aliens. Special appearances by Baby Suri and Katie Holmes. Not real work friendly, but worth watching!

Katie Holmes showed off her new short and spunky haircut at Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles Monday.

I can’t help but think it makes her look like Tommy!

She may have cut her hair for an upcoming Broadway role, and it does look good on her from what I can tell, but it’s still creeping me out.

Star magazine is reporting that the strain of being married to (and controlled by) her husband Tom Cruise is finally taking a huge toll on Katie Holmes’ physical and mental state.

Eyewitnesses at L.A.’s ‘Joan’s on Third’ say she nearly fainted as she was leaving the restaurant recently. Looking pale, thin and tired, Katie exited the restaurant and headed for her vehicle.

“She gave us a weak smile and wave before leaving out the back door.”

But she didn’t quite make it there before feeling light-headed and faint. At one point she leaned against a doorway to steady herself. She seemed disoriented and weak. Her bodyguard had to guide her the rest of the way to the waiting car. Apparently this is becoming a frequent occurrence with Katie, who’s been suffering from terrible headaches that make her see spots and feel faint.

According to friends, she’s not sleeping or eating enough, nor is she taking care of herself. Top that with having a maniacal, energetic, controlling, over-achieving husband, and Katie’s cracking.

Poor Katie, it seems she has lost her identity. She’s a shell of what she used to be. It’s so sad, isn’t it? Tom probably had her brains sucked out once he got his meathooks into her. His little zombie.

I don’t care how ‘posh’ she is these days. She was rockin’ the hottness before Tom.

Since then Katie has glammed it up - and learned not to expose those mangled toes as often..
