Tom Cruise, Brooke Shields, Matt Lauer, Scientology and Pseudo-Science

Isn't it a tad ironic that Tom Cruise, the scientologist who believes in space aliens believes that psychiatry is a pseudo science.  Tom has made this very clear in his recent criticisms of Brooke Shields and in his little confrontation with Matt Lauer.  Psychiatry is a pseudo science.  I didn't see the Matt Lauer interview, but have read some who think he got the better of Lauer in their little argument over psychiatry.  While it may be true that Lauer didn't know enough to argue intelligently with Cruise about psychiatry, how is it that Cruise gets away calling anyone or anything a pseudo science.

He has confessed to believing in aliens and the religion of scientology which believes in “body thetans” — aliens who inhabit the earth from a nuclear explosion 75 million years ago.  And this is the guy talking about "pseudo-science."  And with all of the media attention he has gotten out of this recently it appears that there are many who take him seriously

Oh well, the good news is that the rest of us don't take celebrities as seriously as they take themselves.
