    Dateline: Hollywood

    CRUISE CALLS PODIATRISTS ‘MENACE’
    Star tells Oprah that x-rays caused Brooke Shields’ broken toe

    Hollywood ‘ Drawing more controversy for spouting his Scientologist beliefs, Tom Cruise said in a second interview on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ that podiatry is a fraud and a recent broken toe suffered by Brooke Shields was caused by her choice to see a podiatrist and endure an x-ray. ‘I have pity for Brooke and the millions defrauded by the podiatry industry,’ Cruise told Winfrey. ‘The Church of Scientology and I want to help them.’

    This is the second time in recent weeks Cruise has criticized Shields while espousing Scientology. He recently drew attention for labeling psychiatry a fraud that is unnecessarily placing millions of Americans on drugs and saying Shields’ post-partum depression, which she wrote about in a new memoir, could have been cured by vitamins.

    As in his first interview on ‘Oprah’ this month, in which he talked about his relationship with Katie Holmes, Cruise was once again jumping around the furniture on the show and screaming as he discussed his controversial religion.

    ‘I sprained my ankle in a middle school baseball game and thank God my Mom didn’t let me get an x-ray like the podiatrist I saw recommended,’ Cruise said to a surprised Winfrey. ‘I would never have my career and my happiness if I had. I used to be angry at my mother because I spent 15 months on crutches, but now thanks to the Church, I see how wise she was.’

    Asked about Shields’ broken toe, which happened when she banged her foot into a table while picking up her baby, according to a report in US Weekly, Cruise said podiatry was a ’sham’ and the actress should be on a strict regimen of vitamins.

    ‘The thing about Brooke is, like all people who harm their feet, her broken bone is caused by toxins in her blood,’ Cruise said in a four-minute monologue on the topic. ‘But the podiatry industry wants to conduct an x-ray so they can suck the minerals out of her foot and sell them to psychiatrists, who then process them into anti-psychiatry drugs, which are forced upon children and are the leading cause of low SAT scores.’

    Many in Hollywood have speculated that Cruise is becoming outspoken about Scientology since he fired his previous publicist, Pat Kingsley, who kept a careful watch on the star’s public statements. But the actor said he is simply looking to help people.

    ‘I can’t stay silent anymore because my love for Katie has helped me see I need to share my love with everyone,’ Cruise told Winfrey. ‘There’s simply no science behind podiatry and people need to know that. It’s not fair that I know all these things after donating $58 million to the Church, but poorer Americans don’t know it yet.’

    Asked for comment, Dr. David Goldman, President of the American Academy of Podiatry, said he was unaware of any scientific basis for Cruise’s claims.

    ‘The x-ray has been a basic part of our profession for over 100 years and its usefulness has been established by well over 5,000 peer-reviewed studies,’ Goldman said. ‘I would very much like to see Mr. Cruise’s evidence that any of our members are stealing patients’ body minerals to sell them to psychiatrists, as that would be a serious breach of the Hippocratic oath and could result in the removal of their licenses.

    I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion, even scientologists.

    Not all of us get the chance to air our narrow points of view on television (believe I have tried) but clearly Tom does. More to be pitied than taken seriously, I think.

    I have never rated him as a credible actor anyway, but he was superb in Collateral.

    Can't win 'em all Tom, still break a leg, next time.

    Wow.

    All along I could have been making a profit on all of thoses 'minerals' that I have ben intentionally sucking out of people's feet.

    WHY didn't someone tell me!!! :eek:

    I could then afford to be swanning around the world in a private jet like Tom and Katie burning an obscene amount of fossil fuels too! :rolleyes:

    Pity my children will be too dumb now to go to Uni and get a good job to look after me when I'm old and frail.

    Bugger.

  8. Rumor has it that even though Tom Cruise thinks that podiatry is a fraud and that x-rays suck vital minerals out of people's bodies, he does strongly feel that Sole Support Orthotics and Proprioceptive Insoles are both very valuable treatment modalities. :rolleyes: :eek:

    Credibility of Dateline Hollywood Rivals SARLE Theory

    http://datelinehollywood.com/about-us/

    Dateline Hollywood history
    Dateline Hollywood was founded in 360 BC as “Gladiators Weekly” to cover the booming entertainment industry in the coliseums of ancient Rome. Its pioneering analysis of the statistics of lion mauls and emperor thumbs up/down made it the original publication to take the business of entertainment seriously. Its premiere edition included “The Ten Gladiators to Watch” and an analytic feature, “Deaths by Daggers Down LXVIII Percent.”

    The publication now known as Dateline Hollywood covered a number of different amusing industries as the times changed, transforming from “Inside Slave Trade” to “Bubonic Plague Infestation Monthly” (later quarterly, yearly, and eventually publishing just once per century) to “What’s Hot in Renaissance Art,” “Miracle Play Today!” and, following a move to the young United States in the early 19th century, “Minstrel Show Monthly,” “The Ragtime Gazette,” and, following the editors’ realization in 1973 that ragtime’s popularity had faded, its current incarnation.

    Today, Dateline Hollywood uses the reach, speed, and cheapness of the Internet to bring a worldwide audience the freshest news from the current capital of global culture: Hollywood, USA. Whether you’re an industry professional or Hollywood outsider, you’ll find everything you need to know about the world of film, TV, music, and more right here from the publication that continues to live up to its founding motto to “cover with unerring integrity that which matters least.”

    I do hope I can someday add Tom Cruise to the list of celebrities that have found Sole Supports to be superior in improving biomechanical function, regardless of his religion.

    I suggest contributors to this thread get their news from the Onion for better accuracy.
