War of the Worlds star Tom Cruise is furious, after learning of a fake press stating that he plans to lecture on the evils of psychiatry at his religion's Scientology Celebrity Center headquarters in Los Angeles next month.
MSN reports that several media outlets picked up the bogus press release that was posted Sunday on a British, PR site. Among the reputed topics that the star was falsely said to be touching upon, according to the online posting: "How Psychiatry Invented Schizophrenia" and "Handling Sexual Dis-Orientation."
"It's totally phony," Cruise's Hollywood attorney, Bert Fields, tells Radar Online, a media Web site. "Tom is not giving any lectures."
Fields goes on to say that he intends to track down whoever posted the fake press release, "because, in my view, it's forgery, wire fraud and, apparently, committed on an interstate basis."
Fields also suggests that no one should have been taken in by the hoax in the first place reports People Magazine
"You could tell from looking at the names of the supposed lectures that it's nothing that comes from Tom," said the attorney. "You know, 'Out of the Closet and into the Auditing Room' is not something Tom is going to put as the name of a lecture.
