DR. PHIL TO BATTLE WIFE FOR SHOW ON OPRAH WINFREY’S NEW NETWORK!

Posted by Adam

Dr. PhilTV SHRINK Dr. Phil McGraw has come to blows with his wife!

Sources say the world famous medic is at war with spouse Robin — who he’s been married to for 34-years — because they’re both angling for shows on Oprah Winfrey‘s new network, OWN.

“They both want shows on Oprah’s new network,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“Robin would jump at the chance to have her own show!”

Recent reports claimed McGraw planned his own surprise party to celebrate his 60th birthday — and even practiced looking surprised!

“Leave it to Phil to plan his own surprise party,” a source said.

“They ought to call him Dr. Ham! This is one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood! Phil even practiced his ‘shocked look’ for when he walked into the room.”

The party plans apparently began when Phil asked Robin if she was planning an “event” for his birthday.

“Robin was dumbfounded,” says the pal. “But Phil said he had a hole in his schedule, that he also needed upcoming programming and wanted something blockbuster.

“Since his one thousandth episode two years ago did very well, he decided to give his viewers another very special Dr. Phil show.”

Dr. Phil turns 60 on September 1.

    I would not let this man within feet of a patient. He is the ultimate self promoted, Swift Premium Ham. I am sick of the sight and sound of he and Oprah.

    He has a history of inserting himself unasked, into the lives of the famous. At times of tragedy when the public spotlight is going. It is very difficult to respect this showman. Whatever marginal good he is able to do, and it is marginal, his primary focus is on his own ego. This man and his mentor are both tiresome and over exposed. Enough already!!

    • yeahright

      Amen to that, enough is enough.

    I’m sick of all the hate against Dr. Phil. The man is off the charts brilliant and everytime I watch him, he is doing something useful and saying something brilliant. Yes he likes to promote himself, but why shouldn’t he?

    • yeahright

      Duhhhhh, “Client Confidentiality”????!!!

    Recently you had a young man on again Brandon, hemust be working for you. When he was on a few years ago, he left the impression of a spoiled brat on drugs. You got him a job as a fireman. This man would be on call to save my life or put out a fire. I don’t think so! My grandson has been trying to get on as a fireman for years.TakenCollege courses on same and volunteered at fire Stations. Now this person is on your payroll as an expert. Fair is the only word applicable,Huh? Thanks a Lot….

    OMG!!!! IF I HAVE TO HAVE DR.PHIL OR HIS WIFE, I WOULD GLADLY TAKE DR PHIL ANY DAY. SHE HAS TO INSINUATE HERSELF IN EVERYTHING AND SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE VOICE FOR IT. I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW IMPRESSED WITH HERSELF SHE IS. I CAN’T BELIEVE OPRAH WOULD TAKE ROBIN OVER DR.PHIL. MAYBE IF SHE DOESN’T WANT DR.PHIL, SHE SHOULD GO TO DOOR #3.

    I really could care less if either of them get a show on Oprah’s new network!! OWN!! Interesting name of a network even if it is her initials! She will own you if you get a chance to have a show on her network!lol… The fact is that Dr Phil does not have a license as a practicing Mental Health specialists at all and I find in ridiculous that people just swallow everything he says and does as wonderful, remarkable and practically divine!!! His tough love show is all about how can he look good and make people with serious issues look ridiculous and just asking for attention!!! How many shows has he had where the people he makes feel small on his show have had good results or he actually helped them??? This situation should be checked into because there is a way to do things to help others and his just is not it!!

    • yeahright

      I agree. Really, what ever happened to “Client Confidentiality”????!!!

  • Robert

    This man has the biggest ego on the planet…only equalled by the ego of his botox-restylane-facelifted wife. I love how she implies that her face looks that tight just from “eating right and exercising”. Give me a break! She’s starting to look like Cher. These 2 are so full of themselves. Dr. Phil has taken nepotism to a whole new level, with the constant promotion of his balding older son, and the other one who’s in college. I’m sure his college graduation present will be….THE JUSTIN McGRAW SHOW!!!!! Can’t Dr. Phil’s wife get a job doing volunteer work, instead of sitting in his audience everyday, with the camera focusing on her more than they do their guests. UGH!!! Get them off TV! And get rid of that no-talent birther of 8 babies, Kate Gosselin!

    Putting aside the obvious hater remarks that are quickly filling the responses, this man is in no way a doctor- a fact that seems to have long been lost on the public thanks to his brilliant strategy of self-promotion.
    But perhaps where this man is truly abominable is on one of his many programs where he offers help to the abused, the addicted, the mentally disturbed. In every one of these programs he offers no solutions during the show itself, and at the end he promises to send them into the arms of someone whom we hope is actually qualified. A modern day charlatan.

    • yeahright

      I agree, where’s “Client Confidentiality”????!!!

  • gregg p

    WHO CARES

    • dassi

      yes- he is a doctor. he has a phd in psychology. no- he is not a licensed psychologist. it was suspended in 88/89 for dr/patient ethical concerns and has not been licensed for many years.

  • Dr.Phil is a piece of fucking shit

    Dr. Phil is a cocksucking fuck that is a transparent malignant scam on American Society. His wife fucks huge black cocks. They belong in Hell. Fuck ‘em.

  • RS

    Look, showbizspy, you are quoting National Enquirer as fact? That tells me a lot about your site! Maybe Dr. Phil did, and maybe he didn’t, but, National Enquirer has NO credibility at all. Are you kidding me?

  • truthbetold

    DR. PHIL IS A COMPLETE IDIOT AND A BULLY WHO THINKS HE CAN TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE THIER LIVES WHEN HIS OWN IS MESSED UP. I AM SHOCKED HE IS STILL ON AIR. ALL HE DOES IS TALK DOWN TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WEAK BUT I BET IF A GANSTER THUG WAS ON THERE HIS ASS WOULD RUN LIKE THE WIND. I AM SO SICK OF HIM, RACHEL RAY AND OPRAH’S UGLY MUGS AND ANNOYING VOICES. THEY BOTH NEED TO GO PICK UP THE OBAMAS, THE VIEW WOMEN, JUSTIN BIEBER, THE CAST OF TWILIGHT, JONAS BROTHERS AND LADY GAGA AND GO TO A FAR ISLAND AND NEVER RETURN. ALL OF THEM ARE NON TALENTED FAKES! AWAY WITH THEM ALL!

  • RS

    Way to turn it political, truthbetold.

    It is my understanding as a nurse, that if you do not currently hold a nursing license, you cannot promote yourself as a nurse, refer to yourself as a nurse, or use nursing credentials after your name. Is that also true in Psychology?
    If “Dr Phil” does not have a license to practice psychology, perhaps he should not be referring to himself as “Dr” anybody.

  • http://yahoo wayne capinegro

    What is there about this couple that makes them so easy to dislike?

  • Patti

    I don’t mean to be rude or hurtful to “Dr. Phil’s wife, Robin” but honestly what would she talk with TV viewers about? She is a seemingly doting wife, and probably overbearing mother. I’m sure she did a fine job raising their sons, but time to move on. What does Robin have/need to say. I am willing to say right here and right now that I could interest women in conversations that women are interested in. Noone is interested in Kate Gosselin. The whole marriage how to is OVER! If Robing doesn’t have any fresh material, I do, and I am ready to BRING it!

  • G-man

    I used to watch Oprah & Dr. Phil. Then, somewhere around 2000 to 2004, I realized what phonies these guys were. One of the most hilarious things I think I’ve ever witnessed on TV was when Oprah Winfrey claimed to be Christian! Every once in a while that’ll hit me, and I seriously have rolled on the floor laughing my ass off!

    As far as Dr. Phil goes, if he really had any credibility, his family would not behave like they do, there would be no divorce, his son would not have been with a Playboy Bunny, etc., etc.

    The best thing I ever did was to eliminate television programming and Hollywood movies from my home! Now that’s getting real!

    If I didn’t already know that “Dr” Phil
    was a Virgo I would think he was either
    an Aries or a Leo!lol.I for one can’t stand
    him.I don’t like how he puts down children
    and teenagers.The “advice” he dishes out to
    parents is both spiteful and malicious towards
    young people.I also wish I could kick his cojones
    into his front pockets every time he says that
    some guy will come along and {blow into the ear}
    of a female teenage guest and that she’ll then
    go have sex with the guy(!)If it was that easy
    for a boy or a man to get sex they wouldn’t be
    complaining as much as they do.heh. Personally,
    I believe he is a pervert….A Dirty Old Man.

    As for his birthday party,how much do you want to
    bet that his guests will be well rewarded for their
    performance,too? :\
    p.s.His wife sounds like a chipmunk.

  • mike kane

    only if Phil can find Natalie in aruba

  • ridgeville girl

    You people are so mean spirited it don’t like they show then don’t watch no need to say such unkind things about a child of God So what if he planed his own party that between he and his wife why do you care.And as for Robin she is a wife mother daughter and sister how would you like someone say such awful things about your family?
