The Spears Family Is Sorry

Filed under: Lynne Spears

wenn122340__opt.jpg

Jamie & Lynne Spears still have love for Dr. Phil.

The family is now denying that a person who went on the CBS Early Show this week is their spokesperson.

A Spears source feeds Entertainment Tonight this spin:

A source close to the Spears family tells ET that BRITNEY's parents urged Dr. PHIL McGRAW to visit their daughter while she was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last Saturday.

The family source further contended that it was parents' JAMIE and LYNNE as well as her brother BRYAN's idea to appear on McGraw's show to discuss Britney's downward spiral, and that they backed out of the appearance after details of the hospital visit hit the media. Britney, the source tell us, found Dr. Phil "really cool" and even took his number and said she'd like to call him in the future. LOU TAYLOR, who launched angry rhetoric against Dr. Phil on Wednesday, according to the source is not Lynne Spears' spokesperson.

When ET reached Britney's manager SAM LUTFI to comment on the above info, he confirmed it.

We just LOVE how Osama is Brit's manager now! Officially.

He probably has no idea where she is!

      Give the lady some credit…she only had so much control of her daughter before the fame and stardom got to her precious Britney. I wonder how young mommy was when she had Britney…?

      Does Brit Brit qualify
      Muslin Honour Killings
      Murders in the name of so-called 'honour' are murders in which predominantly women are killed for actual or perceived immoral behaviour. This behaviour is deemed to have breached the honour code of a family or community, causing shame.
      Just the perception or rumour of immoral behaviour may be sufficient to kill. Such incidents may include inappropriate make-up or dress, an unapproved partner, being gay, rejecting a forced marriage, pregnancy outside of marriage, seeking a divorce or intimacy in a public place.
      These types of murders are often planned and are sometimes made to look like a suicide or an accident. A decision to kill may be preceded by a family council. Younger relatives may be selected to undertake the killing to avoid senior family members being arrested or in the hope of obtaining a shorter sentence. Sometimes contract killers are employed.

      I knew it. That fat tart on TV had no idea what she was talking about. I could have made the same assumptions. Even still…

      Spears family = white trash idiots

      Dr. Phil = shameless opportunist, though I suspect it was that icy viper of a wife of his that was responsible

      How did Dr. Phil even get involved? Did someone in the Spears family ask, "hey, does anyone know a good psychiatrist?" and another person said, "How about that guy on TV?" Dr. Phil isn't even licensed. Anywhere. He is a doctor (Ph.D), but he got in trouble in Texas where he was practicing and refused to fulfill the requirements to keep his license. He doesn't have one in CA where he does his show, because they decided that what he was doing constituted entertainment rather than psychological counseling.

      Get that girl some REAL help.

      The Spears family needs to actually address crisis in the family instead of the ineffective and dysfunctional coping mechanisms they have chosen. Such as sticking their head in a bible and praying.

      That certainly isn't going to help the person who needs it is it?

      I dont think its fair to call Lynn a bad Mom. Its BRITNEY'S own fault she is a psycho path and is addicted to drugs and alcohol. Britney is an adult and has kids of her own, Lynn has nothing to do with this. Britney wasnt and isnt ready to be a mother, Nobody told her to be careless. AND the whole Jamie Lynn thing is out of Lynn's control also. ITs not like andy mother can be with their children 24/7 once they are old enough to make up their own minds. GIVE THE WOMAN A FUCKING BREAK!!! Perez should be making fun of Britney And Jamie Lynn's character, NOT Lynn's parenting. What would a Gay man who will NEver have children of his own know about parenting. Maybe we should all be judging your parents Perez, since their Son/daughter grew up to be a gay man and do nothing but talk about People who have lives. ♥

      Re: roxi_horror
      Roxi - you raise a very good point. If "Dr" Phil could be deemed by virtue of not having a license, of acting in a celebrity rather than a medical capacity, he should face legal action, no different than if a papparazzi walked into the hospital.

      When Britney dies, we will all be accomplices to her death. You like that? I don't believe, for one second, that there is a judge in this country who wouldn't judge her incompetent and aid in getting her the help she obviously needs. But there's too much money to be made off of her yet…

      The Spears family needs to address with their daughters physician why he has not written the Ministry of Transportation to have her license revoked for medical reasons. THIS CAN BE DONE.

      38

      First of all- Lynne Spears is friends with Robin McGraw and they privately asked Dr. Phil to intervene. It was not meant to be such a public debacle.
      Secondly- deedee, sticking your head in the bible and praying is the way to help someone. That is not the only way, but it is very effective. Someone needs to show some love and get her some help.

EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS!!!!!

      who are you gonna believe, the source who named herself and appeared on a live and respected morning show, or a shady anonymous source who talks to Entertainment Tonight??
      Perez, I can't believe you didn't see through this.

AS FOR BRITNEY, THE ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS A TEEN AND UNDER HER MOM'S CONTROL SHE HAD A SQUEAKY CLEAN IMAGE, ONLY AFTER SHE GOT OUT ONE HER OWN IS SHE A TOTAL
      MESS. nO ONE CAN CONTROL ANOTHER PERSON EVEN IF THEY ARE YOUR OWN CHILD. BRITNEY IS A GROWN ASS WOMAN MAKING HER OWN MISTAKES.

      Did someone say that if she dies we are all accomplices to her death? Why? cause we blog comments on her? Um, no. She is not my or anyone else's responsibility. Are you saying if we have opinions about someone who is constantly being placed in front of us on every media outlet, it is our fault if she off's herself? PLEASE. so not anyone's fault but her own. Some people just don't turn out right, maybe she was spoiled, maybe not. She is control of her life just as you are in control of yours. Your comments will not make anyone do anything. Why is i as a society we have to place blame on someone or something to ease our own anxiety about what we don't understand? I so over with the blame game. Why do we as humans, constantly point the finger at others? Me, I am the opposite, I usually give others credit for my hard work and when something goes wrong, that is not my fault, I blame myself. I can't relate to all you judgmental meanies who throw anyone and everyone under any bus to make yourselves appear better in the eyes of whomever you are trying to impress. so sick of all the blamers.

      ok jaimie lynn knew that there is a chance of getting pregnant if you have sex so that isnt lynns fault, and come on now even some of the best parents in the world end up with pregnant teens, you just have to give your kids the info and hope they make good decisions. i dont think lynn should be called a bad mom because of it. and with brit she is an adult and her actions cant be blamed on lynn either. her mental illness may have been brought on by drugs or may just be something that she always had and was made worse when she hit her 20s which most of the time happens. and dr phil is just trying to help, everyone needs to give the guy a break.

      What's going on here? What's the real story?? If this is true the Today show has a lot of explaining to do as to how someone who is not the Spears family spokesperson got on their show. Did they just take her word for it? Did they NOT do any research?? I'm not sure what to believe about this anymore.

      56

      So what about the woman (Lou Taylor) who talked to Meredith Vieira on the Today Show yesterday summed up the Spear's camp with this statement: “The family basically extended an invitation of trust as a resource to support them, not to make a public statement. Any public statements he made, because he was brought in under this cloak of trust, are just inappropriate.”
      So when are those on that crazy train gonna figure out what they want or don't want????????

      What did I tell you people. It's EXACTLY like I figured it was. Spears camp decided to get Dr. Phil invoved and reach her thru the media because nothing else was working. Not knowing Brit would have her meltdown, they agreed to the show. Then she meltdown, sent Dr. Phil, turned into a bigger media circus, and pissed Brit off TOTALLY. Then Momma Spears back peddles doing damage control, deny deny and throws Dr. Phil under the bus, like they do everyone else. It's always everyone elses fault. BUT….. Dr. Phil isn't one to screw with. I bet he called the Spears camp out on this and flexed his media muscle. Guess what, they changed their tune, surprise surprise. Never screw with a shrink.

      Don't you mean the person that they claim is not their spokesperson was on NBC's Today Show not CBS's Early Show? Unless she was on there too. ? Guess no one really gives a shit but you should at least try to be correct in what you report.

      I really don't care for Dr. Phil. I don't see why they were so upset at Dr. Phil's statement about visiting Brit. Just about everyone can see Brit needs rehab and psychiatric help. Dr. Phil didn't say anything we don't already know.

      I feel sorry for Brit. I hope she can turn things around for herself and her kids.

      Dr. Phil spoke out becuz that GURLs family isn't doing anything
      or not enough to help her.

      if they were she wouldn't be out with yet another douche bag

      He did the RIGHT THING.

      He is not ashamed to SCREAM from the mountain and to embarass her fucked up family that Brit needs URGENT help. In other words her family is clearly in denial and enjoying paychecks and really concerned for the preggie underaged one and her career.

      Didnt Brits mom PIMP Brit out when she was like 2 or 4 !!!
      what normal loving parent would put a four year old baby in a bikini and lipstick and force
      them to pose sexually for adults ?? As a fun game??

      sick family clearly
      very sick

      This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. First they get pissed because he won't pay them enough so they send out this beotch to call him a bad doctor, THEN when they realize people are pissed at them (since we have no other reason to think they are evil) they make this shite up. It's hilarious. I hate these ppl.
