Dr. Phil Cancels Britney-Themed Show

Dr. PhilFeigning concern for those involved, has canceled the show he was planning to dedicate to Britney Spears’ troubles.  Maybe it was because he actually started listening to his audience instead of preaching to them?

Here is a copy of the statement released through his own website:

“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. 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.”

Dr. Phil McGraw

You gotta wonder what momma mentor had to say about all this.  I’m pretty sure even she wouldn’t have stooped this low.

Good for Dr. Phil!  Heath Ledger may still be alive today if Hollywood wasn’t hiding all of their boys’ problems.  I read in the NYTimes today that “a video of Heath Ledger hanging out at a drug-fueled party two years before his death would seem to constitue must-see material….But when such a video ended up in the hands of the producers of “ET,” the program declined to broadcast it ‘out of respect for Heath Ledger’s family.’” Why isn’t Hollywood pulling articles out of respect for Britney Spear’s family and children?  Maybe he’d still be alive and his kids would still have a doting father if they’d gone after him like they do (present tense—she’s still alive) Brittney Spears.  Also, why didn’t we hear anything about Owen Wilson till he’d practically killed himself?  This is a double standard that is not fair to anyone. (In an odd way favors the girls who hopefully take the opportunity of cleaning up their acts before the insane pressure puts them over the edge.)
