That's what it seems like to me. After the devastating embarrassment of being called to the carpet by one of the Viacom/Paramount heads, Tom Cruise's stock is lower than it's been in probably 15 years. There's no new movie to promote, and his new deal with Six Flags and the Redskins owner to produce movies has been met with little enthusiasm. So to stay in the news, and help his dismal approval ratings, Cruise decides it's time to apologize to Brooke Shields.
Yep. Shields says, "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."
Sounds to me like Cruise is doing whatever he can to salvage a career and some respect. My guess is we won't see any wonky behavior captured on Oprah or tv of Cruise any time soon. Maybe even no press releases dealing with Scientology.

The thing I find funny is how he hinted that Brooke's career had gone nowwhere because of her use of antidepressants. Yet, she's everywhere now...print ads, TV shows, even getting it on with Christian on Nip/Tuck. And now he's struggling to maintain his superstar status. I guess not even Scientology can protect someone from the results of bad behavior and bad press.
