Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

26 Sep 05, 12:00 AM - It's a celeb mental health double (not)

Posted by Crippled Monkey

News has reached Crippled Monkey's corner of the Ouch office this morning that A-list Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is to return to his rather controversial views on mental illness by delivering a series of four lectures in October, advocating Scientology's solutions to mental health problems. For those of you sadly not residing in the Los Angeles area, the lectures will be available to watch on the web. I certainly won't miss them - well, not unless they're showing Top Gun on Five, anyway.

But that's not all. Also in the news, it's reported that Dr Fox - best known as a DJ and a judge on ITV's Pop Stars: The Rivals, the show that brought us Girls Aloud - has said that treatment of mental health patients is a disgrace.

Oh, wait a minute . . .

Someone's just telling me that it's not Dr NEIL Fox - sorry, Foxy - but Dr LIAM Fox, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, who is currently bidding to become leader of the Conservative Party.

Easy mistake to make, though, innit? Er, I'll get me coat.
