Dr. Phil Loses Ground In Holloway Case

Filed under: Legal Matters > Sad Sad > Dr. Phil

Dr. Phil Has Some Legal Troubles Because Of Missing Girl Show

Natalee Holloway's disappearance was tragic, there is no arguing that.

Two men implicated in the Holloway case on Dr. Phil's show are now locked in a legal battle with CBS and Dr. Phil for defamation.

Dr. Phil's team has tried to block the two men, brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, from getting Natalee Holloway's mom to testify about what she knows about the motives and the goings on behind the scenes of that particular show's production.

The brothers claim:

[…] the show "was deceptively clothed as an investigative piece looking into the disappearance of [Natalee]" but was "in reality an abhorrent example of manufactured media sensationalism at its worst."

Well, it seems to have worked out in the favor for the brothers so far, as a judge has just allowed the deposition of Natalee's mom.

We're torn on this, because if Dr. Phil's show did in fact have implicative motives towards innocent men, then that's just not awesome at all and their lives really could have suffered because of it.

But if these men are truly guilty even though there isn't enough evidence to charge them (they were two of three people last seen with Natalee), then they're using an innocent girl's life that they took as a way to make money, right in front of everyone, and that is truly despicable in so many ways.

Our thoughts still go out to Natalee's family for their loss.

Do U think Dr. Phil's show was in the wrong, or are these brothers just trying to make some money??

Ladies Win Appeal To Sue Dr. Phil Over Pervy Stunt

dr-phil-lawsuit-pervy-naked-man-stunt.jpg

Last year, several women came forward filing a lawsuit against TV doctor personality, Dr. Phil, claiming he traumatized them by trapping them in a house and forcing them to look at a naked man. Now, these women are finally seeing justice as they've been granted permission to proceed with their lawsuits.

To give you some backstory, four years ago, six individuals, including plaintiffs Shirley Dieu and Crystal Matchett, were invited to a house as Dr. Phil's "dinner guests." The invitation was part of a Big Brother-esque type episode where these individuals were secured in a "mock house" without any contact from the outside world. On the third night of their stay, the women opened the door to their "house" to find a naked man. After running away and locking themselves in a room, the women allegedly asked to leave, but the TV crew laughed at them and then refused.

We don't know what part of this these people found funny, but we know we're sure not laughing.

When the two ladies originally filed their lawsuits last year, CBS filed an anti-SLAPP motion, arguing that its conduct was protected free speech. However, a circuit court denied the motion, asserting that what was shown on Dr. Phil's show is considered "entertainment," not of "public interest." Therefore, it doesn't qualify for protection under the First Amendment.

But because the women both signed contracts with the show, the bizarre lawsuit gets a little bit messier and thus, they were told by the appeals court this morning that they could not sue for negligence. However, they were given permission to sue for their other claims in a lower court, which include fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to a source, this rule demonstrates "a likelihood" that the women will win their case.

What do you have to say about that, Phil?!

Kudos To Dr. Phil to having such an important discussion on his show.

Watch the clip above to hear from an extraordinary group of brave and special kids talk about the hardships they've faced.

We're truly moved!

Divorce Rumors True? Dr. Phil Puts His House On The Market

Filed under: Dr. Phil

ddrphil.jpg

Could this be another sign of divorce for the hick doctor?

We shall see!

Dr. Phil has officially put his 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms Beverly Hills mansion on the market. Some of the extravagant features of the place include a rotunda entrance hall, screening room, billiards room, his and hers offices, and staff quarters.

The last time he and his wifey looked into selling the place, it was three years ago, amidst divorce rumors. Neither the divorce nor a sale came to happen, so perhaps this is history repeating itself.

We don't think it will sell, though. Not many people can afford a place listed at $16,500,000!!!

We don't even think Oprah herself would touch that property.

Nestle in one of those 8 bedrooms, Phil. We don't think you are going anywhere!

Attention Ladies: How To Spot A Cheater! Really???

Filed under: Love Line > Dr. Phil

philwenn2821863.jpg

Dr. Phil has the answer and its just the kind of answer you would expect from him.

He says you can spot a cheating man simply by looking at his ring finger. (No, really. That's not an inuendo.)

On The Early Show this morning, Dr. Phil explained that men who have a ring finger longer than their index finger is one of the traits that indicate a cheating man. According to the good doctor, a longer ring finger is a sign of exposure to higher levels of testosterone while in utero. This leads to the presence of what some crackpots scientists call the "infidelity gene."

Riiiiiight.

Dr. Phil also says cheaters can be detected by using brain scans. He explained that cheating and non-cheating brains have "distinct activity patterns." He claims that a cheater's noggin shows a lot of activity is every part of the brain, while a monogamous man's brain activity is concentrated in the back where the cerebellum is.

See, Sandra Bullock! If you have just examined Jesse James' fingers and made him get a catscan before you got married, you could have saved yourself all that heartache.
