Dr. Phil Cancels Plan to Exploit Britney Spears On His Show

has apparently caved to a fire storm of pressure and has decided not to exploitand her family by taping a special that would have been aired later this week on his daytime talk show

The plan had been to tape the show on Tuesday for airing the following day. Early hype had claimed it was an exclusive report on Britney Spears. Then it was massaged and suddenly became about Spears parents and their struggle. Now it has been deemed inappropriate - and rightly so.

The media has been buzzing about the Dr. Phil ambush since he charged into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, hell bent to save Britney from herself. He claims to have been sent by her parents. She, in a moment of clarity, took one look at him and bolted. Who can blame her. He proceeded to follow her through an underground tunnel to a waiting car.

Dr. Phil then had the nerve to tell the world that he had met with Spears for an hour and added enough fluff to make it seem like he was on insider when in fact, he was an unwelcome intruder.

The jig is up for the pompous Dr. Phil. Inappropriate indeed.
