Yet another woman, Crystal Matchett, has come forward with a lawsuit against Dr. Phil. She claims that Phil forced her into a room with a man that was completely naked.
Crystal claims that she was brainwashed,  was forced into the room with the naked man and in her own words claims that she "was blocked by the staff to prevent her from leaving."
This follows the lawsuit filed by a woman named Shirley Dieu, who sought help from Phil in 2007, and alleges basically the same thing, except Shirley claims that Dr. Phil touched her left breast. Of course, Dr. …read more

I know these are tabloid reports and you can’t really trust them but, once in a while, the National Enquirer is actually right so I’ve at least got to mention this.
According to the magazine, Dr. Phil has fired 30 staff members abruptly in his latest backstage meltdown.  Apparently, the show began with 250 staffers and is now down to around 100. 
First of all, I’m not sure how that could be true since I’d imagine it takes more than 100 people to produce this show. 
The article goes on to say that the ratings for The Dr. Phil Show continue …read more

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being sued over her book The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide.  The View co-host released the book after being diagnosed with celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder linked to gluten proteins (like the ones you’d find in wheat, barley and rye).  Unfortunately, it could be that Elisabeth’s experience wasn’t her only source of inspiration for writing the book.
According to the Boston Herald, a woman named Susan Hassett sent Hasselbeck a copy of her own self-published work, Living with Celiac Disease, along with “a homemade cooking video, a personal note, a newspaper article and a business …read more

According to reports made by Perez Hilton, several of his readers are claiming that they were turned away from seeing rock group No Doubt performing  outdoors. The group performed yesterday for an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The fans had been waiting for 7 hours in the sun and each of them had reserved tickets to the show. Despite the fact that they had reserved tickets, they were denied access due to a major miscount on the show’s part. They over counted 500 people attending the event so those 500 fans left the Warner Bros lot disappointed and terribly unsatisfied.
One …read more

After rumors of an impending pregnancy continue to swirl around the couple, Portia de Rossi, once again, sets the record straight – she and wife, daytime talk show host, Ellen Degeneres, are not expecting a baby and they are not planning to have any children any time soon.
In an interview with USA Today, Portia said "It’s the same thing every single year: that I am trying to get pregnant.  And I’m not. Maybe one day I’ll want to have kids, but it’s not something we’ve talked about recently."
I don’t understand why people have to be obsessed with the reproductive lives …read more

The presidential campaign seems to be causing a rift on The View these days with the rumors suggesting that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is upset with her “liberal” co-hosts (she’s a staunch Republican).  I find it particularly appalling because Elisabeth is the only one of them who has gone to a party convention and trashed a former guest, Michelle Obama, the wife of Democratic presidential hopeful, Senator Barack Obama. 
The Chicago Sun Times wrote (with information from a longtime View staff member): ”It’s not as bad as during the Rosie [O'Donnell] era” but that it’s gotten to the point where Barbara …read more

Al Reynolds might have had a really public freak out about his divorce but that doesn’t seem to have affected how he feels about his estranged wife, Star Jones.  When asked about his relationship with the former co-host of The View he said that he still loves her very much even after she filed for divorce back in March.
Here’s a segment of an interview he did recently.  See the other parts on his YouTube channel!

 OK! magazine is reporting that Keith Powell, also known as Toother on NBC’s hit show, 30 Rock, has hopes for a celebrity appearance by Oprah Winfrey, on the show’s next season.
“That’s the rumor,” He told OK! “Last I heard, NBC was really, really trying to make it happen. I don’t know if it will happen yet or not.”
Not only would it be an honour for Keith to have Oprah on the show, but meeting the queen of talk shows would put Keith in a state of pure shock.
“There are very few people in the world that if I …read more

Tongues are wagging about sagging ratings on the Oprah Winfrey Show.  It’s down by 7%, her magazine is selling less and her reality television show Big Give did not do well so, of course, critics are talking.  The thing is that almost everything in syndication has suffered from lower ratings and I think it’s really premature to start panicking.
Naturally, people are trying to draw connections to her endorsement of presidential candidate, Barack Obama.  I’m sorry but, if I were in her position and strongly believed in something, I would find it hard to stay silent.  She has done controversial …read more
