UPDATE: Dr. Drew: Tom Cruise is mentally ill
Dr. Drew Pinsky of VH1's Celebrity Rehab made the coming remarks about Tom Cruise and his passion for Scientology in the latest issue of Playboy. Dr. Drew finds it particularly interesting that the religion/cult rejects psychology:
"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 juniority trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would personage
copyrights:cite this source synonym heap v1.1copyright © 2008 by lexico issue group be drawn into a cultish kind of background like Scientology? To me, that's a charge of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in pediatric - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."
Tom Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields fired back in Page Six today and fundamentally compared Dr. Drew's methods to those of the Nazi's. Wait, I thought Nazi's hated Jews not Scientologists. Damn you, stars and stripes education system!:
"This unqualified boob tube* performer who is ostensively 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 daft ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels."
If I were Tom Cruise's lawyer, I would've tried a different tact:
"Well, duh, Dr. Drew. Jesus, of course, Tom Cruise is crazy. Real keen anatomy there. I anxiously await your thesis: 'The sky is blue.' Hold on, Tom Cruise is telling me the sky is very the color of Thetan tears because they're caged in a stratsopheric mind warp that makes us all sad. Wow, seriously, Tom? Here's a cookie. Say, I think I saw a Thetan trapped in the fax machine. Go get 'em!"
Damn, I should just skip the whole bar tie-in thing and start taking clients. Who wants to be first to get law-gified?
UPDATE: Dr. Drew's rep issued the coming bullshit apology: "Although Mr. Fields's intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket scrutiny about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm."
