Brooke Shields jokingly begs Tom Cruise to put her back on his famous coconut cake Christmas list

• Brooke Shields told People she is currently not on Tom Cruise's famous coconut cake Christmas list.
• Shields made it on after attending Cruise's 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes, but no longer gets one.

Brooke Shields recently told People that she's no longer on Tom Cruise's famous coconut cake Christmas list, and jokingly pleaded for a status change.

The "Mission Impossible" star's annual holiday gift is one of Hollywood's worst-kept secrets. He sends a white chocolate coconut cake from Doan's Bakery, which is located in Woodland Hills, California, to stars like "Stumptown" star Cobie Smulders, "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm, and "Black Panther" star Angela Bassett, and many of the recipients have commented on the tradition publicly.

"I was on the list for a while. I had a good 10-year run, and I got the coconut cake every year," Shields said, recalling that the gift was initially addressed from Holmes, Cruise, and their daughter Suri, and later from "just Tom," presumably after the former couple's 2012 split.

Shields said that she stopped receiving the cake in recent years, but she has no idea why she's been kicked off Cruise's gift list.

The food delivery service Goldbelly describes the cake as a "ring of moist, luxurious coconut bundt cake" with mixed in pieces of "sweet white chocolate" that is then layered with cream cheese frosting and topped off with "toasted coconut flakes."

"I want to get back on that cake list. It's the best cake," Shields laughed. "Tom, I need to be back on the cake list."

Shields and Cruise have had a rocky relationship in the past.

In 2005, Cruise publicly criticized Shields for taking antidepressants to treat postpartum depression during his interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show promoting his movie "War of the Worlds." Shields had detailed her mental health journey in her book "Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression," published in May of that year.

Cruise told Lauer that he cared about Shields, but that her telling her story of taking the medication was "dangerous" and "misinformation."

"She doesn't understand the history of psychiatry," he said of Shields.

In response, Shields wrote an op-ed for the New York Times, titled "What Tom Cruise Doesn't Know About Estrogen."

"Tom Cruise should stick to fighting aliens," she said of her "Endless Love" costar in the piece, according to Variety.

Ultimately, Cruise and Shields mended their differences enough for Shields to be invited to his and Holmes' wedding — and temporarily put on his exclusive coconut cake list. And while looking back at it in her new documentary "Pretty Baby," she called the feud "ridiculous."
