Dr. Phil Chimes In On Britney Spears Mess
January 6, 2008
If there’s a famous person having a problem, Dr. Phil McGraw is always available to swoop in with some sagely advice.
This time, the “lucky” recipient is Britney Spears, who was recently checked in the hospital and is under psychiatric examination.
In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Dr. Phil said “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. I am very concerned for her.”
Other people think that the doctor is not being particularly helpful in this situation.
“This is exactly Britney’s trouble,” an unnamed source told the New York Daily News.
“Does a troubled young woman who is already fodder for the media need a TV psychologist descending on her with camera crews? Isn’t there any other psychotherapist in America who can help her without making a show out of her?”
Dr. Phil recently talked up the singer’s mom after her sis announced she was knocked up, asserting that “an asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother.”
I wonder why the hospital let a television doctor, namely Dr. Phil, on a floor that has such fragile patients, like Britney Spears, particularly since Britney had no idea he was coming?
