Jamie and Lynne Spears slammed -- and we mean slammed -- Dr. Phil this morning, calling the way he handled his contact with Britney a betrayal, inappropriate and a total breach of their trust.
Spears family rep Lou Taylor told Meredith Vieira on the "Today" show that Dr. Phil actually broached the subject of doing a show about Britney, but that they nixed the idea, only to have Phil try to set up the show anyway. Taylor scorched Phil, saying it was even "inappropriate" for Phil to bring up doing a show, and that the family thought it would be detrimental to Britney.
What's more, Taylor said that the family felt "betrayed" that Phil would issue any kind of statement after meeting with Brit, and that nobody had given him any authority to say anything, much less bellow on and on like he did.

Dr. Phil is just a kinder, gentler Jerry Springer. The fact that he may have some kind of degree and past experience as a psychologist counts for zilch on the kind of show he is doing now. He is a talk show host and by extension, a media whore. This seems to be exactly the kind of person from which Britney needs protection.

The Dr. Phil incident is rediculous. People need to just pray for Britney and let the professionals who know what they are doing take care of her. I just read a great article about the press being the major problem at http://blogs.dailycents.com/?p=777
