Dr. Phil Gets Blacklisted - Britney Spears

Although the saying goes, 'There's no such thing as bad publicity' in Dr. Phil's case---there certainly is! I bet Dr. Phil is regretting the day he stepped foot at Cedars to 'treat Britney' because he's been in hot water ever since.

Producers for The Dr. Phil Show are having trouble booking “big name celebrities” to appear on Phil’s upcoming 1,000th Episode Special, because no one trusts the doc.

After Dr. Phil talked publicly about Britney and her condition, celebrities don't want anything to do with him--he's basically been blacklisted from Hollywood.

The NY Daily News reports, “Nobody good wants to go near it,” says a source familiar with the booking process.

Dr. Phil's booker has been trying to lure big names for a “walk-on” with the promise that “then the celebrity can promote any project or charity that they’re involved in.”

No one big has agreed to make a cameo yet. Maybe he can have a D-list special, you know that show will fill up quicker then he can say, 'my career is over,' which leads us to our daily poll…

Dr. Phil isnt even a real Dr. But if he really is......I wonder if he can say HIPPA?

He should have known better than to help Britney. She's such a loser. Anything that goes near her falls apart. She's a bad seed, I wish she would just stay in her house and become a hermit. I'm tired of seeing her face everywhere! She's a real waste.

It's not about letting out a big secret. It is about the rules and principle behind psychological treatment. Anybody other than a mental health professional who has encountered Britney is certainly free to talk to the press about her mental state. But what one says to a mental health professional is private and that confidentiality should not be broken unless you have permission from the patient or you are going to take action to protect someone's safety, i.e file a report to a child protection agency or have somone committed. Dr. Phil did neither and violated a code of ethics in talking to the press. You don't see anyone from Cedars talking or cashing in about Britney's treatment or anyone from the rehab center Britney had gone to taking interviews with the press. There are rules about this type of thing and Dr. Phil broke them. Since he was not licensed to practice I guess Dr. Phil will need to spin this as a friendly visit and not a professional visit at the family's request. Regardless, his poor lack of judgement is an insult to the integrity of the field of professional psychology and he should at least be cited for it.

Oh geez, people need to stop acting like he let some BIG cat out of the bag! It's not like he announced Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. We all know Britney is sick. He was just confirming what the public already assumes. The media has been hounding her for years and now all of a sudden because Dr. Phil voices an opinion out of concern, he's the bad guy? Dr. Phil needs to stay away from that loonie family before his career falls into the shitter like Brit's!

Dr. Phil came at the request of her family. What patient confidentiality was broken? He only said what we all know and have been saying for awhile now, she needs mental and physical help. That's all he said. While I'm not "into" Dr. Phil, I think he is getting a bad rap in the media.
