No Dice for Dr. Phil This Time Around

16. This guy just doesn't get it. It's not that he visited Britney at the request of her family, IT'S THAT HE WENT PUBLIC WITH A STATEMENT ABOUT HER CONDITION AFTERWARDS. "Real" doctors don't do stuff like that.

17. I would hardly call Dr. Phil's input 'blather'. I would sooner listen to what he has to say about her continued care, with his extensive experience with similarly troubled people, than I would to listen to 99% of anybody else on the topic. Dr. Phil backed up graciously on this, and at least willingly ate a bit of humble pie when it hit him. He's been a media personality for a few years now, and got shocked back into his former medical persona like a well meaning dog that ran out of tether line. It was an understandable error that can happen when you've been wearing a different career hat for a while; but he IS a very well meaning dog, lol. Of that I am sure.

18. His "tour of regret" should be renamed "tour of irrelevance"
Ratings got you DOWN "Dr" Phil

Oh, and "Leave Dr Phil Alone"..
completely agree that others are exploiting Britney, BUT
- they didn't accost her at a hospital, wich is illegal, since she is an ADULT and her parents request is irrelevant
- they didn't plan to have a show WITH HER PARENTS ON IT
- they don't take on medical roles vis-a-vis Brit while HAVING NO LICENSE TO PRACTICE (let's remember his shows disclaimer -- FOR ENTERTAINMENT (AND TO MAKE DOH OFF STUPID PEOPLE) PURPOSES ONLY

19. Dr. Phil said repeatedly that he made those public statements due to all the false information that was out there on Britney. He was trying to help that, but he said he made it worse and wish he never said it. So, uh...WHY ON EARTH STILL CRITICIZE THE MAN?? He does have a right to defend himself and I don't think the Spears family didn't contact him because they were upset with him, I think they know he wants to stay away from their situation after the all the trouble they got him in by asking him to visit Britney.

Plus, here's something TMZ refused to report. Sam contacted ET to let them know that the "family representative" who spoke out against Dr. Phil was not representing them and that they apologized to Dr. Phil for that. Where's that report TMZ??

23. Dr. Phil is a complete tool who has lost his last shred of credibility. Maybe it's time for a career change fatso!

24. I wish they both would fall off the face of the earth.

25. Oops - some how I posted my comments under Sophias breasts (sorry Sophia! :) Anyway I meant to post the following under Dr. Phil!... (kinda new with posting comments!)
It's pretty obvious that TMZ is a GOSSIP magazine. Dr. Phil is
"suppose" to be a Doctor. Pretty obvious AGAIN.... one is entitled
to report things & the other is suppose to keep his MOUTH SHUT. I
certainly don't always agree (or like) TMZ but reporting is their job
- NOT Dr. Phils, unless Britney signed some papers waiving her
dr/patient confidentiality; which I doubt.

26. It's so funny to sit here and read comments from people bashing Dr. Phil for one public statement and they come in here everyday to a website that talks negatively about Britney daily...and make fun of her. Not only that, the ones bashing Dr. Phil are the same ones bashing Britney with their posts.

Can someone please explain this confusion??

27. This loser just can't shut up! I'm getting sick of all the redemption tours, his included.

28. Dr. Phil is NOT A FAKE. He has a Ph.D which means Dr. is in his title. Not a medical doctor! So lay off that crap. Geez. How many times does the man have to say he is not practicing any more? He's repeatedly said he refers other practicing professionals to people who ask him for advice. Which is what he was doing with Britney...per her parent's request. Give the man a break ya'll.

Posted at 1:45PM on Jan 31st 2008 by He is a Dr.

29. DR PHIL IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT111 SOMEONE NEEDS TO HELP HER. THEY NEEDED TO HELP HER EONS AGO. The man retired his license in Texas doesn't mean he lost all of his kowledge. The people here and the actually TMZ people are idiots for coming down on someone who wanted to help this girl. What the hell are you TMZ people doing. You are making so much money off her it is better for you that she is crazy. Grow up American and stop putting people down who just try to help. Lynn Spears is an absolute idiot and she is now afraid that her meal ticket will die so she better do something. She needs an education, fast. Get over yourself people. DR PHIL TRIED TO HELP AND HELP ONLY. WHat have you done?? Huh TMZ, what have you done? What have her friends done, what has K-Fed done? Nothing isn't that correct.

30. Dr. Phil got caught reaching his chubby little hand into the ratings jar.

Anything else he says short of saying "I thought it would make for great ratings." is an utter and complete lie.

I know people like this know-it-all blowhard but he's full of crap. To put it in a way that Phil would understand... I worked on a ranch and can spot BS a mile away.

Thanks
