If only Freud were still alive...

You cannot tell me that Tom Cruise doesn't suffer from a giant enlargement of the EGO. A few years ago, I thought Tom's willingness to be a good Samaritan was totally altruistic -- hey, what a good guy. Today, I'm telling you point blank, this kind of display is a show of pure narcissism.

Cruise and ... Holmes were reportedly headed home from the Los Angeles airport Saturday night ... when they happened upon a pair of motorists in distress.The celebrity duo pulled over and checked to make sure that driver Jon Henningsen and his wife were not seriously injured, then stuck around until the police and fire department arrived. [yahoo/e!]

I mean, it's nice and all... don't get me wrong. But there's something else going on here and it's the chance to gain some positive headlines amidst all these "SURI" rumors significantly outweighed the desire to help his fellow man. Is he even qualified to deal with these emergency-type situations? I mean, as a Scientologist, what was he really going to do: Rub some niacin on them and hope for the best?

The Yahoo story gives a good chronology of Tom Cruise's EMT-like abilities. Go there if you wanna reminisce. Remember, hindsight is 20/20.
