Dr. Phil Cancels Britney Show!

Filed under: Britney Spears > Dr. Phil

drphil.jpg

The TV doc had planned to air a special about Britney Spears, but has now decided to shelve it.

Phil just issued the following statement to Entertainment Tonight:

"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 tomorrow, focusing not on the tabloid side of Britney’s latest problems, but instead on the very serious issues surrounding this case. 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."

It probably didn't help the Doc that Britney's parents pulled out of being on the show!

    FIND OUT WHY THE AUTHORITIES AREN'T CENSURING HIS UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR — MAKE THEIR LACK OF ACTION PUBLIC AND THEY'LL SCURRY TO REMEDY THIS

    USE YOUR BLOG TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

    no big deal. i'm just glad that he's moved on from it.

    He's right. What can anyone do for Britney? It's like criminals. You can't do anything to stop the behavior until they do something to break the law. Same goes for her.

    Until she makes a criminal mistake nothing will be done.

    He spins everything to make him look good. But he's too much of a douche bag to look good. A master of sleaze. He thinks he's God. He's a snake oil salesman. Go fuck yourself Dr. Pill. You should be fired from your circus act.

    If Dr. Phil wants to have fucked up people on his show he should try calling the Hogan family. Thats a win win…They get attention and he can still make money off of being an unethical asshole!

    Does ANYONE in her Family THINK FIRST before they act??? I see why their kids are so messed up!
    You can't help this young lady she is gone! hopefully now that she doesn't have the "boyz" she can go and disappear somewhere and we can hear less about her!…………who am i kidding I LOVE THIS SHIT! i love watching her break marrages apart and have 50 more babies after she clears that STD(s) she has!~ MORE MENTAL BREAKDOWNS MORE MORE GIMMEEE MORE!

    Hah! DP doesn't get to milk Britney for more money, he screwed up and got greedy, gave away too much of his "scoop" too early. Moneygrubbing scumbag, why can't DP ever get enough money, power, attention…why is "God" so damned needy? Maybe his overweight non-psychologist ass can write another book about how to lose weight, hahahahahah and keep biting off of Oprah's market. "Send me $29.95 and just think positive, and everything will magically turn out OK, all right boys and girls?"

    Just because Britney isn't behaving in the way her parents think she should doesn't mean that she "needs help." She is not making the kinds of choices most of us would, but as long as she isn't hurting herself or others, and especially as long as she isn't dragging her kids into the middle of her mess, I say leave the train wreck alone. She pays her own bills, she isn't a burden to society.

    So keep the kids away and let the idiot play.

    Phil McGraw is a fucking hick and doesn't know his asshole from Perez Hilton's mouth. He is nothing more than a media whore who flew out of the pussy of Oprah Winfrey and has been forced down the throats of Americans.

    "Dr." Phil is a fucking vulture pure and simple!!!! BARGING into Britney's hospital room UNINVITED to bump his career is just fucking sickening!!!!!!!

  63. ~A HIGH-END JERRY SPRINGER~ says – reply to this
    63

    One of this asshole's quotes are "GET REAL." Here is some reality.

    "Dr" Phil is Oprah's boy and a total media/attention whore. This man's show is simply a knock-off of the Jerry Springer show in the guise of better dressed, clean looking victims with less tattoos and most of their teeth. At least Jerry Springer is honest about the exploitation of people and the content of his show.

    This television shrink now has to backpedal and do damage control because it seems he was surprised to find out that half of America already knew he was a media whore.

    Can you say "damage control"? He saw how much people thought what he was doing was SLEAZY. That's the real reason he's cancelling! Hopefully now he'll just leave her alone and maybe one day she will be helped for her illness by a REAL doctor.

    I think it's time for the world to give this Britney media circus a rest. She clearly needs help and isn't getting it. Dr Phil was going to be the latest exploiter. Glad to see someone pulled his plug (or maybe he has a conscious). I've lost all my interest in reading about Britney after this weekend. The only thing I want to read about now is her getting treatment and help. Please, NO MORE BRITNEY! The negativity is too much.

    What a sleaze ball. He looked for an opportunity to get ratings on a young girl’s illness. If he truly is a Medical Doctor, why did he do interviews divulging their private conversation? Even if it was only 10 minutes, there is a thing called patient doctor confidentiality.
