Way to go, Brooke!
Brooke Shields is lashing out at Tom Cruise, who recently criticized the actress for using antidepressants and called her actions " irresponsible."
Shields, whose recent book Down Came the Rain chronicles her battle with postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter Rowan in 2003, says Cruise should mind his own business.
" Tom should stick to saving the world from aliens and let women who are experiencing postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them," says the former Suddenly Susan star.
Last week Cruise, who stars in the upcoming War of the Worlds, told Access Hollywood that is was " irresponsible" for Shields to assert that antidepressants helped cure her. " When someone says (medication) has helped them, it is to cope, it didn't cure anything. There is no science. There is nothing that can cure them whatsoever," he said.
Cruise, 41, who is an ardent advocate of Scientology, which condemns mind-altering prescriptions of any kind, instead suggests that women care for themselves with " vitamins and exercise." He then added about Shields: " I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented women, (but) look at where has her career gone."
Meanwhile, Cruise's new girlfriend, Katie Holmes, has nothing but praise for her beau. " He's the most amazing man in the whole world," she said at the May 31 Tokyo premiere of Batman Begins. As for Cruise's religious beliefs: According to a source close to Holmes, who is Catholic, she hasn't converted to Scientology but is interested in understanding it.
