Dr. Phil Is An Idiot
The only good thing I can say about Dr. Phil is that he hasn't opened a school for young girls. Actually I think he was instrumental in bringing David Letterman and Oprah back together, so I will also give him that. Other than that, I can't stand the guy.
because he is such a publicity seeking ass, Dr. Phil's big coup in getting the entire Spears family on one show has totally disintegrated. Instead of admitting that the family wanted nothing to do with him, this is the statement he released. "As was widely reported this weekend, at the request of concerned family members, I visited Britney Spears in the hospital. The details of that visit will, of course, remain private. We had planned to tape a Dr. Phil Now show today, focusing not on the tabloid side of Britney's latest problems, but instead on the very serious issues surrounding this case."
The statement goes on, "Clearly, it is not just Britney's family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help. Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping at this particular time. Britney and her family are in our prayers, and we ask that they be in yours."
What a crock of s**t. What happened is that Dr. Phil and Lynne had a deal where she would provide Britney and maybe even Jamie Lynn and in return Dr. Phil would write a forward for her book, and let her come on and plug the hell out of it when it came out.
Instead, Britney bailed on the doctor to go shacking up with her photographer friend who is no doubt filming every second of their time together to make a quick million or two. If you don't think that guy isn't hiding a miniature camera, then you are just way too trusting, and I want to talk to you for a few minutes about the wonders of grape Kool-Aid.
With Britney gone that still left dad, mom and Jamie Lynn who would be the big surprise and ratings booster. Ummm. Dad didn't want any part of it and told Jamie she wasn't going to be a part of it either.
That left just mommy, and there is no way Dr. Phil was going to waste and hour of time with her. Can you imagine her rattling on for an hour and Dr. Phil trying to convince the world what a great mom she is. So, in essence the show went from intervention for Britney to gawking at Jamie Lynn to Lynne asking if she could still get the complimentary basket of fruit put in every dressing room.
