46. 21. HEY Big MAN - learn the ropes. You don't go where you are not invited and then just blow the whole thing off. Learn to live BY THE RULES! You are NOT LICENSED to go parading around on TV like a REAL Dr. If you want that - then get your license back! Your judgement lacks living in the real world - with real peole - NOT the nut cases on the TV show.

47. Mirror Mirror - The GREAT Dr. Phil was NOT invited by BRIT! She is an adult - and Daddy had NO RIGHT to ask the fluff head to see her. SHE makes her OWN decisions. I'll bet there were a LOT of people he could have seen - but KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT OVER WHAT HE THINKS! His opiions are NOT PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS ALSO A FREE BOARD - AND MY OPINIONS ARE MINE- SAME AS YOURS ARE YOURS. Get off the high horse.

48. Yes, it's true. I invited Dr. Phil. But you dont understand. I'm getting low on cash and because im such a useless piece of trash i have to wh%^e out my daughters to make money. I thought i'd get a big fat check. But noooo, would Brit cooperate? Nooooo. Now Im gonna have to put Jaime Lynn first ultrasound picture on ebay. Do you know how that is for me? I mean, heck, takes me a whole hour just to sign on my computer.

49. ....I'm laughing my head off....why is he reminding me of when Clinton stuck his arm out and shook it up and down telling us abt his deeds with Monica that he never did??...too funny!!...it's been hashed over a ziliion times...HAD he been sucessfull with Brit he would have used the situation on countless shows!!!!!!!!!!!!...it backfired and we'll never know...but it is clear from the start that he cared more abt servicing HIMSELF more than Britney...he was going to be yet another on a gravey train that keeps having to add coaches...I'm glad this one got derailed!

50. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hey, if I was in a load of trouble, I'd be thrilled to have someone like Dr. Phil on my side helping me through and out of it.
Britney or Adnan or Lufti, not so much.

51. Dr. Phil needs to be quiet.........all of his dirty laundry is being exposed as a result of him continuing to run his big mouth..... His mouth may be even bigger than his ego.........hmmmmmm

52. #19 - you got THAT right when you say he wasn't giving her therapy! Noooooooooooo!
In fact what he was trying to do was host her parents on his show which is the worst form of exhibitionism and I can't think of a more devastatingly damaging thing to do to a person in need of PROFESSIONAL psychological help due in large part to the behaviours of those very same parents!

He had no business being in the hospital offering his services -- which are as an ENTERTAINER (read his disclaimers) and NOT as a practicing psychologist or psychiatrist

Oh, and to all you Phil apologists, let me tell you what he SHOULD have done, and then you'll realize how inappropriate his actions were.
- first, having been invited by her PARENTS (NOT HER) to the hospital, he should have simply gone to her room and asked if he could talk to her
- second, if she blew him off, HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT
- third, if she agreed to listen, he should have immediately made it clear that his interest in her was STRICTLY as a family friend and NOT as "Dr" Phil (which of course would have precluded ANY IDIOCIES like TALKING to the media or TRYING to get her parents on his show.
- finally, he should have offered her the name(s) of HIGHLY TRAINED, DISCREET, PSYCHOLOGISTS / PSYCHIATRISTS who could be of genuine help to her (assuming he knows any)
GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY QUESTIONS???????????

53. Oh yeah jr, lets take it outside! Brrr....lol

54. I'll bet you were a load of fun when your parents WRONGFULLY (I guess) tried to help YOU whenever. Pfffft.
He was invited, you gave out your opinion uninvited, and you can dish it out, but you can't take it.
Of course I understand this blog is for opinions. I was simply pointing out that he actually had more right to
be there than we actually have commenting. Oh, the irony. Don't getcher knickers in a knot. Truce.

55. I don't understand all the comments about Brit. She isn't the one publishing all this crap. I watched TMZ once on TV and the "TMZ staff" are a bunch of ignorant kids who need to be sprayed for lice. Chances are none of you actually know Brit, but
are all making medical diagnosis about her....and I'm relatively sure, none of you have the credentials to do so. Folks...get real.
This is a comic book. I like comic books, and I come here because it's entertaining. But the credibility here is zip. You have an editor who submitted a video tape during the Simpson trial supposedly showing Marcia Clark searching OJ's house before getting a search warrant. Two days later the tape was thrown out and Harv had to publicly apologize. He was a lawyer that couldn't cut it and will be remembered as a gay doorstop for daytime TV. Credible? Give me a break.

56. Dr. Phil is not helping himself.........75% of the bloggers here still are not buying what he is saying....

Be quiet Phil........

58. DR? Phil Sucks!

59. That was some "apology". He made very sure to stress that he was there as a friend, rather than a therapist. Sounded more like he was trying to defend himself against a lawsuit to me. Where the hell does Oprah find these people?

60. Thanks Dr. Phil. Britney needs help. She is suffering from post partum. Our hopes are that she listens to someone. She has kids now - she can't be one. She needs medical attention and support from her fans instead of criticism. I wish her the best. Thank goodness for Dr. Phil.
