Yesterday, Dr. Drew expounded on a bunch of celebrities including Angelina Jolie who he said was a heroin addict and whose eventual meltdown will be nuclear.

“Just add up a couple things… there’s no such thing as ‘I was a heroin addict’. That doesn’t exist in nature. Something is going on with [her] addiction. Or she’s in recovery (and) I don’t see any evidence that’s the case.”

… Now put those two people together [Brad and Angelina] and you have got a really volatile situation. And they’re constantly creating things to weld themselves together. Which is only going to serve to make a more nuclear eruption. There will be some sort of meltdown that will be phenomenal when it does happen.

Dr. Drew tells Radar that his words were taken completely out of context and that they were never meant to be printed. “I do not know Brad or Angelina (and) I certainly don’t want to be saying things that could be perceived as hurtful for them, or harmful for them in any way. I’m deeply concerned and apologetic and apologize for these comments that were taken out of context.”

“Literally as though one was speculating, just going through an exercise of speculation and not some sort of analysis that was supposed to be factual or for public discourse… I could not be more upset and disturbed that these things were printed as though I was making some sort of categorical analysis of people I really don’t know.”

Mm hmm, Dr. Nostradamus. Sure they were taken out of context. The wrath of Angelina fans must have rained down on him. They probably threatened to take the Dr. out of his name and replace it with “Cut Up Bitch”.

Dr. Drew Pinsky of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew gave an interview in next month’s Playboy Magazine where he opines that people like Tom Cruise who join a cultish religions like Scientology have a mental illness.

“A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.”

Tom Cruise went on the offensive with his lawyer Bert Fields who responded by calling Dr. Drew unqualified and compared him to Joseph Goebbels, one of Hitler’s closest associates. Bert tells Page Six:

“This unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety is so grotesquely unprofessional as to pretend to diagnose Tom and others without ever meeting them. He seems to be spewing the absurdity that all Scientologists are mentally ill. The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels.”

Bert Fields doesn’t know much because Dr. Drew is probably the most qualified person and has been doing this for years. Coincidentally, Tom Cruise plays Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, a Nazi, in the upcoming movie Valkyrie and the guy is crazy. You don’t need to be a doctor to diagnose that. I’m surprised Tom Cruise hasn’t started eating placenta yet… oh wait.
