State of California Investigating Dr. Phil

Zap2it.com

A complaint has been filed against Dr. Phil with the California Board of Psychology.

The complaint reportedly accuses Dr. Phil McGraw of practicing without a license when he visited Britney Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after her meltdown earlier this month, according to TMZ.com.

Dr. Phil is also accused of violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The complaint alleges Dr. Phil practiced clinical psychology without a license and further violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing the pop star's case with the media.

Dr. Phil has never been licensed to practice in California, and he is no longer licensed in his home state of Texas.

McGraw failed to complete the conditions imposed as disciplinary sanctions by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists in 1989.

At that time a former therapy client had filed a complaint against him, claiming their relationship was inappropriate.

McGraw later admitted giving her a job but denied touching her.

Soon after he was officially reprimanded, McGraw closed his private practice.

Interestingly enough this controversy around Dr. Phil got me thinking about Oprah's credibility in light of her backing of Dr. Phil and her obvious love for Tom Cruise, I mean she looks like she's ready to...well you know, whenever she sees him. She's also backing Obama (there's a surprise).

Based on Cruise's erratic and crazy behavior these past several years, I would have to question what kind of hold Scientology has on him. He lives and breathes his faith and this makes him a dangerous influence on his fans.

Newsworthy? You Decide.

In a a world where Boyfriend charged in mom's death turns out to be a Cop - albeit innocent until proven guilty (!) and a Judge attempts to sue a Dry cleaner wins in $54M lawsuit over missing pants and with Wal-Mart eyes banking biz , I wouldn't say yes to the following question Did Robin Williams go too far?

Thankfully Rosie Says She Won't Replace Bob Barker so our grandparents are still safe there. Oh, and this just in : Jackson Memorabilia Dispute Continues(gasp). I know I will sleep better tonight knowing that Gossip: Uma Thurman's new man (sigh) Poor Ethan!

Can you even believe that any of this is actually news? This is the garbage they are feeding us with a war raging in Iraq and another just over the horizon in Iran?

In my view of it the only thing here that is even remotely newsworthy is that they may have cauught the bastard that murdered a pregnant woman in Ohio.
