Two weeks ago Dr. Phil quasi-apologized for talking about visiting Britney in the hospital, but the media frenzy surrounding her latest psych ward commitment has proven too great a temptation for the good doctor to resist:

“I don’t think [Spears’ current hospitalization] surprises anybody. All I’ve ever tried to do is help. By that I don’t mean doing therapy, because I don’t do that anymore, but I’ve always felt like let’s get her to the right kinds of professionals — ones that could provide psychological and psychiatric support … Certainly I haven’t been called or contacted. I know just what everybody else does. If this [current hospitalization] starts her on the road to getting some intervention, then that’s a good thing.”

Hasn’t the past month proven to anybody that his weighin in IS NOT HELPING!? So much for regretting making a statement about Britney’s mental situation…
