The feud intensifies: according to the World Entertainment News Network, Brooke has now offered Tom a child ticket so he can take Holmes to see her in the London musical Chicago:

"If he wants to see Chicago, I've left him two tickets--one adult, one child."

She also politely questioned Cruise's religious beliefs by saying she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to aliens.


"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression."

"To suggest that I was wrong to take drugs to deal with my depression, and that instead I should have taken vitamins and exercised shows an utter lack of understanding about postpartum depression and childbirth in general."

"If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease."

Our use of the term "nuts" is meant, as defined in Webster's, as a reference to an "eccentric" person. That's all. We do not mean to in any way denigrate or belittle anyone with mental illness. In fact, we take mental illness very seriously, which is why Mr. Cruise's ill-informed rant inspired us to create this website. We don't have anything personally against Mr. Cruise, either. We think he's a first-class actor and a humanitarian. We did used to worry that he was a misguided zealot, but that's all. Now we think he's a dangerous, misguided zealot.
