Tom Cruise is returning to “Oprah”!

The A-lister hasn’t appeared on the talk show since summer of 2005, when he jumped up and down on Winfrey’s couch like a madman, professed his love for Katie Holmes, and then dragged Holmes out from backstage. He was supposed to be promoting his movie at the time, “War of the Worlds.”

This time, Cruise doesn’t have a movie to promote.

Cruise and Holmes were the center of tabloid attention for their unlikely whirlwind romance. The couple was engaged after only two months of dating, and wed in 2006 in Italy.

Cruise also made headlines in 2005 for arguing with Matt Lauer on the NBC’s “Today” show, where he called Lauer “glib” and declared: “You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do.”

They were arguing over the use of anti-depressants. Cruise had publicly criticized Brooke Shields earlier for taking them to treat her post-partum depression.

Neither the date nor the topic for the Oprah show with Cruise have been released. It may just be another publicity stunt for May sweeps.
