Tom Cruise Apologizes to Brooke Shields

Are we seeing a new Tom Cruise? For the sake of enjoyment and hilarity here at The Gossip, we certainly hope not.

First, however, Suri's pops signed a new production deals. And now? He's personally apologized to one-time friend and former nemesis, Brooke Shields. If you'lll recall, Cruise's wacky, very possible scientology mission began when he slammed the mother for using antidepressents.

We guess changes within a person are inevitable once your child's poo is bronzed.

On an appearance on the Tonight Show last night, Shields told Jay Leno that Cruise "came over to my house, and he gave me a heartfelt apology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened."

Brooke said she was "impressed," although failed to mention anything at all decent about Vanilla Sky.

So look at Cruise now, people. He's NOT making funny sexist comments. He IS making ammends. What's next?

Motivational posters touting his insanity?

Don't misunderstand the actor, however. He still feels the same way about drugs. According to his rep, Cruise "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."

Whatever. So is playing with alligators. But that hasn't stopped Beyonce.
