Crazy man Tom Cruise said during a famously heated debate on NBC’s “Today” show in 2005 that Brooke Shields was a fool for taking anti-depression drugs, then berated host Matt Lauer for suggesting that psychiatric treatment might help some patients. No, Brooke Shields was crazy for hanging out with Michael Jackson, but no drugs could have saved her. Luckily, she wasn’t crazy and wasn’t victimized, and all because, to her credit, she wasn’t a young boy. That’s something I’ve always liked about her.

John Travolta says his beliefs about psychiatry are the same as those of fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise, who’s defended the “religion’s” stance against psychiatry and the pharmaceuticals.

Travolta says in the July issue of W magazine, on newsstands Friday,

“I don’t disagree with anything Tom says. How would I have presented it? Maybe differently than how he did, but it doesn’t matter. I still think that if you analyze most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is drugs at the bottom of it. I don’t want to create controversy; I just have an opinion on things, and there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion if you are asked. Everyone wants that right, and because you are famous doesn’t mean you have less of a right. I will tell you the things that would be the same, fame or no fame. Being up all night would be the same. Liking empty restaurants, liking empty movie theaters - unless I am starring in it. I have never been compelled to share with you my bathroom habits or share with you my bedroom habits. Everyone has a right to privacy, so I have never felt - even though I am famous - that I had to share that with anybody.”

Fortunately, since his appearance in Battlefield earth, also written by fiction author, homophobe and felon, L. Ron Hubbard, nobody has listened to much of anything he’s said.
