Boo. Because Dr. Phil McGraw didn’t charge Britney or her parents for his unsolicited professional opinion, he’s probably not going to be disciplined for “treating” her without a license or blabbing about her condition to the media.
A complaint has reportedly been brought against him to the California Board of Psychology, and they are required to investigate the claim.
However, according to state regulations, Dr. Phil would have violated California law only if he had been paid for his services. And it didn’t sound like the Spears were too happy about the visit, so it’s unlikely they paid him for it.
In a taping of his show that will air Monday, he said his visit was appropriate and that his only regret was talking about the visit:
“Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no. It was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do … I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn’t make any statement at all. Period.”
Too little, too late.
It’s all Tom Cruise, all the time today on Deceiver.com.
Despite all his talk about fatherhood, Tom Cruise’s kids who aren’t Suri — Connor, 12, and Isabella, 14 — apparently don’t live with him or Nicole Kidman, their adoptive parents. In fact, they live with Cruise’s sister, even though he fought for and won custody from Kidman. It’s not clear which sister they live with, but all of them — Lee Ann, Cass, and Marian — are practicing Scientologists.
It’s bad enough that they’re being raised as Scientologists, that they call Katie Holmes “mom,” and that they call their adoptive mother “Nicole,” but won’t someone please try to give these kids a normal childhood?
Forget Boston — evidence is mounting that Katie Holmes may not have actually run the entire New York marathon in November.
The weirdnesses have been documented: how she wore high heels to the Lions for Lambs premiere just a few hours after crossing the finish line, and her admission that she trained for less than three months, which is not exactly typical for runners preparing for such a long race.
The most interesting thing, however, is that she wasn’t photographed at every mile, but when she was, she was accompanied by Unknown Runner #6074 — who never registered with marathon officials.
There are no results at all posted for a runner with that number, leading conspiracy theorists to believe he may have been the one wearing Katie’s registered “ChampionChip,” which records split times whenever a runner passes by various checkpoints — including the finish line.
Page Six finally picks up on the story I’ve been obsessed with all week:
Tom Cruise brands federal officials “liars” and takes credit for saving the lives of hundreds of supposedly poisoned workers at Ground Zero in a wacky new Scientology video…
That detox program, which employs saunas and megadoses of vitamins, has been widely trashed by medical experts, and even Mayor Bloomberg has ripped it, saying, “Reputable scientists do not think Scientology has any basis in science…”
Scientology reps could not be reached.
Imagine that.
It’s been known for years that Scientology is exploiting 9/11 rescue workers with its ’50s-pulp-magazine crap, but it didn’t make many waves because we didn’t see how cruel and arrogant and sociopathic it is until this video leaked out. It’s not 1975. Their old damage-control tricks won’t work anymore.
