How to get an apology

Tom Cruise might be seeing the light... he made a mea culpa.

Tom Cruise ended his War of the Worlds with Brooke Shields by saying he was sorry for blasting her for her use of anti-depressants, the actress said.

The "Mission:Impossible" star swallowed his pride to visit Shields' home on Thursday, and ended the dispute he'd dragged her into during an anti-psychiatry, anti-prescription drugs rant.

"He came over to my house and he gave me a heartfelt apology," Shields, 41, said on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Friday night. "He apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened."

Just goes to show that you can get anything, when it affects a person's pocketbook.
