Oprah Winfrey was blindsided on the set of a live TV newscast yesterday -- when a local Dallas newsman suddenly blasted Queen O with a super-awkward question, "Would you like to take this opportunity to apologize to America for introducing us to Dr. Phil?"
Oprah squirmed a bit, but she was saved when the anchor got even more awkward -- asking O if she wanted to "touch my hair."
An interior design team who claim Dr. Phil McGraw and his wife Robin breached an oral contract has now upped the ante in their lawsuit.
Deborah Flattery and Brynja McGrady -- who sued the McGraws in March -- now allege fraud, false advertising and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The designers, who developed a line of skin care products, claim Robin promised to promote the products on her husband's show -- but never did. They also claim they were never fully paid for their services.
In response, the McGraws counter-sued for fraud -- claiming Flattery and McGrady over-charged them for a re-do of the couple's master suite.
McGraw attorney Frederick Friedman told us, "The McGraws are simply seeking to recover what the decorators actually admit to having received by fraud."
But the McGrady's attorney, Stephen Lowe, denies any fraud -- telling us his clients are part of an elaborate scheme concocted by the McGraws ... one in which the couple doesn't fully pay their vendors.

Pop head-shrinker Dr. Phil McGraw will be shelling out to a group of angry dieters. According to lawyers involved in the case yesterday cited by City News Service, Dr. Phil has agreed to pay $10.8 million to settle a class action lawsuit filed by people who didn't like his Shape Up! diet products.
The products, which include supplements and such meal replacements as bars, shakes, and ready-to-drink mixes, are no longer being sold, and the people who bought them accused the defendants, including Dr. Phil, of making false claims about their efficacy. McGraw's name and image appeared on the products. To palliate the plaintiffs, Dr. Phil and his fellow defendants will be setting up a fund in which the plaintiffs can choose between Nutrilite vitamins or a whopping $12.50 in cash. Of course, in the end, Dr. Phil won't end up paying a cent of his own money, as his insurance will cover whatever he has to pay.
