Dr. Phil "Sets the Record Straight" on Britney Visit
It's so ridiculous that Dr. Phil is even messed up in all of this Britney Spears hoopla, but the TV doc wants the world to know that Brit's mama asked him to go see her -- he didn't just decide Britney would be his next project.
"I want to set the record straight. I went to see Britney at the request of her family. I talked to Lynne, Jamie and Brian [Brit's brother] because they were frustrated that she wasn't going to be held for a longer time," he said on CBS's The Early Show this morning. "Thursday night, the phone rang, it was Lynne. Clearly she was very upset, as any parent would be," he said. "I was first contacted by her family a year ago and had maintained a running dialogue for the last year or so."
Dr. Phil is scheduled to have a show dedicated to Britney's problems this week. As for the chances that Britney will show up on the chat-fest, I'll have to go with slim to none.
