I try to avoid talking about Britney Spears, but I can’t resist once Dr. Phil gets involved.
Spears was overheard angrily telling a friend ”this is the final straw” — furious her parents had contacted TV counselor Dr. Phil McGraw to step in and attempt to help Britney deal with her various demons. Spears was not alerted about Dr. Phil, and his appearance in her hospital room came as a complete shock to her.
What goes through your head when you’re hospitalized, likely high off your ass, and in walks Dr. Phil at your parents’ request? Furthermore, what goes through your head when Dr. Phil, king of sleazy broadcasts, deems your situation “too intense” for a planned, special broadcast? I think “I must be really jacked” would be an appropriate thought for both those questions.
My favorite quote in quite some time comes from a nurse at Cedars-Sinai hospital.
”We have had many difficult celebrity patients in here over the years. But Britney tops ’em all — a real hellion. Screaming and carrying on and totally disruptive. Even though she was somewhat isolated in a VIP room, the administration decided she was too much trouble. In addition, it did seem she was no longer a danger to herself or others, as messed up as she is.”
The only part of Dr. Phil worth showing
