ROURKE SLAMS CRUISE OVER THERAPY COMMENTS

Hollywood wildman MICKEY ROURKE has blasted Tom Cruise for publicly criticising psychiatry, calling the superstar actor a "c**t".

Sin City star Rourke regularly sees a therapist, who he credits with saving both his life and career, to discuss his irrational dislike of certain actors, which has caused him to turn down a number of roles.

And Rourke was outraged by Cruise's infamous appearance on US TV show TODAY last year (05), during which he criticised BROOKE SHIELDS' use of anti-depressant medication when she was diagnosed with post-partum depression following the birth of her first child.

Cruise is a staunch follower of the Church of Scientology, which publicly opposes the study and practise of psychiatry.

Rourke says, "(My therapist) saved my f**king life and my career. I don't care what Tom Cruise says about therapy. F**k him. C**t.

Pick on poor Brooke Shields. "People need medicine and they need therapists.

Let the Scientologists go f**king live on a planet of their own."

Oh my gosh, this is the funniest thing I've read. Haaaa.

I'm glad someone in Hollywood has the courage to speak out against this couching jumping, ranting idiot. Too bad it has to be a psycho but beggar's can't be cheaters!

Remember when he was hot? Before he f****d up his face with boxing and bad plastic surgery and gosh knows what else.

This is the best he looked. In 9 1/2 weeks he was sooo hot.
