Octomom Nadya Suleman is taking the help of around the clock nursing care for her newborn infants, she tells Dr. Phil in a two-part special airing March 10 and 11. The nonprofit group Angels in Waiting offered to provide care for all of her children, as you can see in the Today show piece above.

Other big Octomom news? Her dad has bought her a new 2,400 square foot house in L.A. – check out the house pictures.

Dr. Phil McGraw said in a statement, “Nadya realized that she had to make every effort to care for the octuplets as well as the six children at home in a way that proved that she understood the enormity and complexity of the task ahead. The plan in place, which could not have happened without attorney Gloria Allred and Angels in Waiting, affords all of the Suleman children a chance to grow and thrive.”

Dr. Phil is now saying that he regrets ever releasing a statement after visiting Britney Spears in the hospital during her lockdown. Well, of course he does because now everyone hates him and more people are becoming aware that he sucks as a doctor. He said:

“Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no. It was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do,” he told his audience Thursday during taping of a Dr. Phil episode that will run Monday, according to USA Today.

“I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn’t make any statement at all. Period.”

Britney Spears’ Family: Dr. Phil’s Betrayal of Trust (Today Show Video)

Wendy — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:50:36 +0000

Seems Britney Spears’ family were not happy with Dr. Phil’s offer to dedicate a show to Britney’s problems. Britney Spears’ family is now apparently feuding with Dr. Phil.

The Spears family spokesperson/business manager, Lou Taylor, speaks out about Dr. Phil on the Today Show this morning (see video clip above).

Dr. Phil maintained that he visited Britney Spears at the request of her family. As you know, the show that Dr. Phil planned to air about the pop star’s problems was canceled.

While the family did ask for his assistance, the Spears family did not intend for Dr. Phil to make a public statement or attempt to use the situation for his show.

During the Today Show interview, the spokesperson said:

“What’s wrong with Dr. Phil’s statement is that he made a statement. The family, basically, extended an invitation of trust for him to come in as a resource to support them, not to go out and make public statements.

He was not invited to make this part of a public display or part of the media.”

Neither of Britney Spears’ parents wanted to do a Dr. Phil show and the family feels their was a betrayal of trust with the television doctor.

Dr. Phil Cancels Britney Spears Show

Wendy — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:28:35 +0000

Guess Dr. Phil couldn’t handle the heat over his appearance at the hospital where Britney Spears was after her breakdown or the heat he was getting from fellow shrinks. He’s decided to cancel his Britney Spears show, on which Spears’ parents were expected to appear — but Britney Spears was not.

On his web site, Dr. Phil posted this statement:

“As was widely reported this weekend, at the request of concerned family members, I visited Britney Spears in the hospital. The details of that visit will, of course, remain private. We had planned to tape a Dr. Phil Now show today, focusing not on the tabloid side of Britney’s latest problems, but instead on the very serious issues surrounding this case.”

Clearly, it is not just Britney’s family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help. Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping at this particular time. Britney and her family are in our prayers, and we ask that they be in yours.”
