Dr. Phil on Britney: She Is in "Dire Need" of Help

Dr. PhilDr. Phil has issued the following statement to ET about his visit with Britney Spears this morning.

"My meeting with Britney and some of her family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention.

She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her."

62. Too funny, #2. But #38, "man enough to take responsiblility"?? Who are you kidding? He wouldn't have the interest if it weren't for the money. He's about to become a whole lot richer once she dies. I hope someone will help him pick out a decent looking black suit for the proceedings--at least attempt to make him look respectable. I am sure they will be televised on TMZ TV with a healthy cut for he and Momma Spears...in bed (well not literally I hope) together for quite some time now.

64. Dr. Phil would exploit his own mother if it guaranteed him a profit. He is a con artist. Stay out of it
Dr. Bizarro. You will only make things worse by publicizing what's going on with Britney. She needs
to get out of the spotlight, not get caught in your spotlight you a**hat!

65. here is such a talented woman with her life spiraling out of control right in front of her and she cannot seem to stop it... do we thank the media?? cause they have done nothing but follow her no matter where she goes... you don't see any of them reporting anything good she does, only the bad...

kuddos to Dr. Phil for stepping in to try and help her... she needs to find someone she can trust that isn't after a piece of her... ever since she hooked up with k-fed he has done nothing but run her to the ground.... this whole ploy of his about the kids... *laugh* its not about them, its about him getting more money out of her... lets start pulling some of his skeletons out of his closet and see how he fares...

67. Is it really appropriate for this so-called doctor to be discussing a private meeting with Britney?

68. I don't have Dr. in front of my name and I could have come to the same conclusion.

70. Um with all his training doesn't Dr. Phil know that it is highly unethical to talk about the condition of anyone he meets with?

71. He makes me sick. He's just using her sad situation to better his stupid show and boost his ratings. Take a seat old man!

72. He makes me sick. People are naive if they believe he has Britney's best interest at heart. He is jumping on the never ending make a buck off Britney train. If Britney isn't following other Dr's orders why does he think he can do anything.He knows he can't, that is not his agenda. He will fail then be like I tried my best when nobody else did. Which is just not true. I hope Britney stays the hell away from Phil & doesn't show up for his show.

73. One of the biggest problems is too much Britney news. This feeding frenzy should stop. Are we looking at another Princess Di situation in the works? The pappz are on her like bees on honey.

74. Here' s someone else trying to get better rating for his show.

75. WHY DOESN'T "doctor baldy" mind his own biz ?????? There has got to be tons of BETTER qualified doctors in town who can help her.
