Shields slams Cruise's 'ridiculous rant'

Brooke Shields' war of words with Tom Cruise has taken another twist after the Suddenly Susan actress slammed Cruise's recent rant against psychotherapy and anti-depressant medication on US TV show Today.

Cruise, who is a devotee of L Ron Hubbard's Scientology religion, lashed out Shields in an interview last month for condoning the use of drugs she used to help overcome post-partum depression.
