Dr. Phil Sues Gawker For Ganking Manti Te’o Hoax Interview
2 weeks ago
Dr. Phil’s production company is suing Gawker Media over its use of an interview with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the man behind the Manti Te’o girlfriend hoax.
The suit claims the company, via its sports blog Deadspin, posted the best parts of the interview online before it had aired in the majority of Dr. Phil markets.
The lawsuit also criticizes the entire “system” of content aggregation.
“A remora is a fish, sometimes called a suckerfish, which attaches itself to other fish like sharks,” reads the legal complaint filed this week in Texas.
“The host fish gains nothing from the

George and Cindy Anthony are split over the innocence (or lack thereof) of their estranged daughter Casey Anthony, according to Dr. Phil McGraw.
“[George] is very critical,” the TV psychologist said, while Cindy makes excuses for her daughter at every opportunity and lives in a state of denial.
Neither of Casey’s parents have spoken to the 25-year-old since she was stunningly acquitted of murdering toddler Cayley Anthony back in July.
In an interview airing today and tomorrow, the Anthonys are speaking out on the death of their granddaughter and the public trial that followed.

David Letterman Goes Off on Donald Trump
2 years ago
David Letterman was joking around with Dr. Phil last night, only he wasn’t really joking when it came to Donald Trump’s criticism of President Obama.
He began by asking Phil about Trump, and Phil didn’t really bite. What Dave was really doing was giving himself his own segue to lay into the Donald.
Dave said, flat-out, that beyond the birth certificate, Trump’s questioning of Obama – how he got into Harvard, how he wrote his memoirs – is racist.

“It smacks of racism,” said Letterman, noting that while it’s all a giant media circus to a

Pair of Women to Sue Dr. Phil For Locking Them in House With Naked Dude
2 years ago
Several women are suing TV doctor personality Dr. Phil, claiming he traumatized them by trapping them in a house and forcing them to look at a naked man.
Somewhere, Brett Favre is jealous he didn’t think of this.
Four years ago, six individuals, including plaintiffs Crystal Matchett and Shirley Dieu, were invited to a house as Phil’s “dinner guests.” Worst. Dinner. Ever.
The invitation was part of a Big Brother-esque type episode where these individuals were secured in a “mock house” with no contact from the outside world.
On the third night, the women opened the door to their “house” to
