Tom Cruise made nice with Brooke Shields who he criticized for using antidepressants for post-partum depression. The couch-jumping ass, however, has not changed his mind about antidepressants. It seems that Brooke has accepted his apology. This from the NY Times.

Brooke Shields says Tom Cruise has apologized for publicly criticizing her use of antidepressants after the birth of her first daughter.

The
two had a public beef last year after the ”Mission: Impossible III”
star, echoing the position of Scientology, said in an appearance on
NBC’s ”Today” show that depression can be treated with exercise and
vitamins rather than drugs.

The 41-year-old actress says Cruise apologized in person Thursday.

”He
came over to my house, and he gave me a heartfelt apology,” Shields
said Friday during an appearance on ”The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” ”And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened.

”And
through it all, I was so impressed with how heartfelt it was. And I
didn’t feel at any time that I had to defend myself, nor did I feel
that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that
he was deeply sorry. And I accepted it.”

Cruise’s spokesman confirmed the celebrities made up.

”It
is true that his friendship with Ms. Shields has been mended,”
spokesman Arnold Robinson said in a statement. ”He has not changed his
position about antidepressants, which as evidenced by the black label
warnings issued by the FDA on these types of drugs, are unhealthy.”

Shields,
who wrote ”Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum
Depression,” has dismissed the actor’s remarks as a ”ridiculous
rant” and ”a disservice to mothers everywhere.”
