  • Michael Weatherly Leaving “NCIS,” but Staying on CBS in New Show About Dr. Phil

    Michael Weatherly no doubt made many women cry when he and CBS announced back in January that he was vacating his role as Special Agent Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo on NCIS. How will they feel now, when they realize Michael Weatherly is leaving NCIS, but staying on CBS?

    It’s true. Michael Weatherly has signed on to star in a new series called Bull, that portrays the early life of Dr. Phil McGraw before he was a famous television star.

    According to the Hollywood Reporter, Michael Weatherly will play the role of Dr. Bull, “the head of a company that analyzes juries to help develop defense strategies. He has a physicality and feral intelligence that make him magnetic to women, and a bruising candor.”

    Dr. Phil McGraw headed up a renown trial consulting service prior to his days of offering advice on his own TV show.

    Michael Weatherly admitted he has enjoyed his run as NCIS’s Tony DiNozzo when he announced his impending departure in January.

    “DiNozzo is a wonderful, quixotic character and I couldn’t have had more fun playing him over the past 13 seasons,” he said at the time.

    Michael Weatherly played Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo for 13 seasons on NCIS. It was bad enough when actress Cote DePablo left her role as Ziva David.

    What will NCIS be like without Anthony DiNozzo?

    Did Michael Weatherly take into consideration the hearts he was breaking when he made his choice to leave?

    And to think–he’s staying on at CBS.

    Michael Weatherly deserves one of those good old slaps on the side of his head delivered by Mark Harmon’s character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

  • Michael Weatherly Joining New CBS Show About Dr. Phil Following “NCIS” Departure

    Michael Weatherly has broken the hearts of many with the announcement that he’s leaving NCIS at the end of season 13. The actor who has played the role of Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo for almost 13 seasons isn’t leaving CBS, however. He has signed on with the network to star in a pilot about Dr. Phil McGraw.

    Bull is based on the early days of Dr. Phil. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Michael Weatherly will play the role of Dr. Bull, “the head of a company that analyzes juries to help develop defense strategies. He has a physicality and feral intelligence that make him magnetic to women, and a bruising candor.”

    Dr. Phil McGraw was the head of a renown trial consulting service prior to his days as a TV star.

    Michael Weatherly and CBS announced in January that he was leaving NCIS.

    “DiNozzo is a wonderful, quixotic character and I couldn’t have had more fun playing him over the past 13 seasons,” he said at the time.

    It will be a bit of a consolation for Michael Weatherly fans to know he’s staying on CBS for this upcoming pilot. There’s nothing quite like Michael Weatherly as Tony DiNozzo, however.

  • Jordan McGraw and Band Help Dr. Phil McGraw Present Romantic Valentine to Wife Robin

    Jordan McGraw and his band Hundred Handed helped his dad Phil McGraw present an early–and very romantic–Valentine to wife Robin on Friday’s episode of Dr. Phil.

    The band performed their song “Doctor,” featuring Jordan McGraw’s girlfriend Kato on lead vocals, on Dr. Phil.

    “It’s a love song that she just loves, so I hit a double home run!” Dr. Phil said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

    Dr. Phil had been trying for 10 years to get Jordan McGraw’s band on the show. He says the wait was well worth it, however. He feels quite certain he scored lots of points with Robin for his efforts in the romance category.

    “I should be golden for 10 years!” Dr. Phil said.

    “I have to say he’s right,” Robin McGraw added.

    Kudos to Jordan McGraw, his girlfriend Kato, and the rest of Hundred Handed for appearing on Dr. Phil.

    And kudos to Dr. Phil, who has now likely knocked the sails out of men everywhere–especially those who hoped to do something extra romantic for Valentine’s Day. His utilization of son Jordan McGraw’s band to wish Robin Happy Valentine’s Day now makes just about everything else pale in comparison.

  • Jared Fogle Victim to Appear on “Dr. Phil” Next Week

    Jared Fogle will be reviled even worse than he already is come next week, when one of his victims speaks out during an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw.

    Now 16, the former Subway spokeperson’s victim is known only as “Analissa.” She told Dr. Phil when the interview was taped that she felt “brainwashed and manipulated” and that at the age of 14 she was recorded on hidden camera’s by Jared Fogle’s business partner, Russell Taylor.

    Analissa claims Taylor convinced her when she turned 16 she would have sex with him.

    Russell Taylor was the director of Jared Fogle’s children’s charity. He was arrested earlier this year and goes to trial on November 19, where it is expected he will plead guilty.

    Taylor downloaded kiddie porn and produced it. Jared Fogle has admitted to watching some of what Taylor both produced and downloaded.

    Analissa contacted Dr. Phil McGraw after the journalist who exposed Jared Fogle–Richelle Herman-Walrond–appeared on his show. Herman-Walrond recorded years’ worth of conversations with Jared Fogle, during which he admitted to having sex with underage girls.

    Will you tune in next week to see this latest Dr. Phil interview? Jared Fogle’s victim appears on the show on November 12th at 3:00 p.m.

  • Dr. Phil to Air Jared Fogle Child Sex Tapes on Show This Week

    Dr. Phil will air the Jared Fogle child sex tapes that recently came to the attention of the media. The tapes were recorded by former journalist Rochelle Herman-Walrond. She will appear on the Dr. Phil show Thursday and Friday of this week.

    A news release from the Dr. Phil show explains that Herman-Walrond met Jared Fogle–then the spokesperson for Subway–in 2006 when she was hosting a radio show in Florida. Bothered by some of the remarks he made, she befriended him, and went on to record their conversations over the next five years. In the recordings, Jared Fogle discusses his sexual preference for children and even admits to incidents of abuse.

    Herman-Walrond contacted both Subway and the FBI with her tapes. That information likely played a role in the July search of Jared Fogle’s home, and his arrest the following month.

    Jared Fogle pleaded guilty to one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography and one count of traveling to engage in unlawful sex acts with minors. He will be sentenced on November 19, and faces up to 12 years in prison.

    Dr. Phil McGraw will discuss the content on these tapes with Rochelle Herman-Walrond on his show. Hopefully he asks her to explain the timeline between the taping of her conversations with Jared Fogle and when she turned them over to authorities.

    Will you be tuning in to Dr. Phil to learn the latest in the Jared Fogle case?

  • Josh Duggar: Dr. Phil McGraw Believes There’s More to Come in Disgraced Former ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star’s Sex Scandal

    Josh Duggar is reportedly receiving counseling for his “sexual sins” at a faith-based rehab center called Reformers Unanimous, located in Rockford, Illinois, in light of his most recent sex scandal. It was just a few weeks ago when the former 19 Kids and Counting star was outed during the Ashley Madison website hack. Josh admitted to having an addiction to pornography and to cheating on wife Anna Duggar following the hack attack.

    Dr. Phil McGraw joined the panel on The View on Monday. He strongly believes there’s more to come in the disgraced Duggar son’s sex scandal.

    “What I’m really concerned about with regard to that,” Dr. Phil said. “We have not seen the bottom of that yet. My dad used to say that for every rat you see, there’s 50 you don’t.”

    “To assume that everything you see is everything there is, would really be naive,” he added. “I just don’t believe that the whole truth has come out yet.”

    Dr. Phil isn’t the only one who feels this way. Just days ago a source close to the Duggar family expressed a fear that more would eventually come to light in the most recent Josh Duggar scandal.

    “It’s all so sad, and at this point, who knows what else will come to light,” the source said.

    “The molestations were completely shocking to the extended family,” the source continued. “And it really seems like Josh preyed on the girls that were quiet–girls who he maybe didn’t think would know what he was doing was wrong.”

    Sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald admit they are Josh Duggar’s victims. Given their ages at the time of the sexual molestations, many expect Jinger and Jana Duggar were his victims, too. Josh Duggar also molested one non-family member.

    Of Josh Duggar’s latest sex scandal, the source is even more dismayed.

    “He is not the person everyone thought they knew,” the source says. “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him. When she found out about the cheating, she just cried.”

    Do you think what Dr. Phil says is likely true? Do you believe before this is all said and done that more dirt will be uncovered on Josh Duggar?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon Leaves Rehab

    Bobbi Kristina Brown remains in a coma, where she has spent every day since January 31st, when she was discovered facedown and unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. The boyfriend with whom she shared that home–Nick Gordon–has checked himself out of rehab. He had been there since last month, when an intervention involving Dr. Phil McGraw convinced him to go.

    Good Morning America reports that a family member confirmed his release from rehab on Thursday.

    “He is doing awesome,” the source said, adding that Nick Gordon’s family members were with him at the time of his release.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is in a rehab facility outside of Atlanta. Grandmother Cissy Houston–mother of the late Whitney Houston–says she has “irreversible brain damage.”

    “I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma, she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors, she has global and irreversible brain damage and remains unresponsive,” she said just a few days ago.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown’s father, Bobby Brown, is praying for a recovery, but is not doing well. He announced at a concert in Grand Prairie, Texas more than a week ago that Bobbi Kristina had awoken from her coma.

    “He is encouraged by the steps that Bobbi Kristina has made since her hospitalization on January 31, 2015. She has made it out of ICU, opened her eyes, and started a rehabilitation that will be long and hard,” Bobby Brown’s wife, Alecia Etheredge-Brown said. “I just wish my husband could deal with this most painful and difficult time with people surrounding him who fully support and pray for Bobbi Kristina’s recovery and only her recovery.”

    Bobby Brown has long believed that Nick Gordon is responsible for the condition Bobbi Kristina Brown will likely be in for the rest of her life. Do you think Nick Gordon will once again contact Bobby Brown about seeing Bobbi Kristina now that he is out of rehab?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Cousin Releases ‘Pray for BK’ Tribute Song, Ring Missing?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown lies in a medically induced coma in an Atlanta hospital while her family members display a wide range of odd behaviors. Dad Bobby Brown has stuck closely to his daughter’s side, while his sister–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s aunt, Leolah Brown–has given reports to the media stating that both Nick Gordon and Pat Houston (Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law) may have been involved in a plot to have Bobbi Kristina murdered.

    Now cousin Jerod Brown–who goes by the stage name YF Kennedy–has released a tribute song on YouTube, called ‘Pray for BK.’ Jerod Brown is another of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s family members that Bobby Brown has urged the media to disregard.

    Jerod Brown came to the defense of Nick Gordon recently, too.

    “Nick has cooperated with the police department, he has cooperated with my uncle Bobby’s request,” he stated. “He has given my family members as much information as he can.”

    Check out Jerod Brown’s song, ‘Pray for BK.’

    Meanwhile in the Bobbi Kristina Brown saga, another report has surfaced about a missing $250K diamond ring. It’s one Whitney Houston reportedly gave to her daughter, and she was supposedly wearing it on January 31st, when she was found–nearly drowned–in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home.

    It seems Nick Gordon brought up the subject of the ring during his time with Dr. Phil McGraw, before heading off to rehab. In fact, he asked his mother about the ring during his interview with Dr. Phil. She said she had put the ring away for safe keeping.

    Bobby Brown’s family then contacted the Dr. Phil Show asking for help in locating the ring. RadarOnline reports that a source told them Nick Gordon and his mother then explained that the ring they talked about wasn’t the one Whitney Houston had gifted Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    Oh, what a saga this tragedy has wound up being for the media. It’s unfathomable to imagine what life is like behind the scenes for everyone who is close to Bobbi Kristina Brown. Hopefully this young woman will one day emerge from her coma and tell everyone what happened that fateful day, but as she nears the two-month mark of existing in this unconscious state, it’s far less likely that such a thing will happen.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Boyfriend Nick Gordon Reportedly Violent, On Drugs Prior to Intervention With Dr. Phil

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is hooked up to machines in a hospital room, fighting for her life, while her boyfriend Nick Gordon is off at rehab somewhere. Gordon’s foray into rehab came following an intervention his mother staged this past week with Dr. Phil McGraw. Portions of that intervention will appear this coming week on The Dr. Phil Show.

    A new report from TMZ indicates that Nick Gordon was both violent and under the influence of drugs and alcohol while in an Atlanta hotel awaiting his meeting with Dr. Phil. Sources told the publication that the boyfriend–and not husband as previously reported–of Bobbi Kristina Brown was so ‘whacked out’ on drugs and alcohol he wouldn’t walk, and had to be pushed around on a luggage cart.

    No wonder Bobby Brown doesn’t want Nick Gordon to visit Bobbi Kristina Brown in the hospital. Is this indicative of the life they lived as a couple?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in her bathtub back on January 31st, and has been in a medically-induced coma ever since. Attempts to remove her from that coma resulted in serious seizures. Nick Gordon has wanted to visit her ever since that fateful day, but Bobby Brown simply isn’t having it–not until Nick fills him or his attorneys in on what happened in the hours and days leading up to Bobbi Kristina’s near-drowning.

    It’s uncertain where Nick Gordon went for rehab, or even how long he will stay there. He made even more news this past week when Bobby Brown’s sister Leolah said in a letter to Dr. Phil that he was under investigation for the attempted murder of Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    What do you make of Nick Gordon? Is he responsible for the present state of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s health? Or is he simply one of two kids who somehow lost their way?

    Will Bobbi Kristina Brown ever recover? If not, will Nick Gordon be held responsible for whatever happened to her back on that fateful January day?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Nick Gordon Under Investigation for Attempted Murder?

    Bobbi Kristina Brown remains in a medically induced coma more than a month after she was discovered facedown and unconscious in her bathtub. On Saturday, it came to light that Bobby Brown’s sister Leolah Brown wrote in an alleged letter to Dr. Phil McGraw that Nick Gordon is under investigation for the attempted murder of Bobbi Kristina Brown. Is there any truth to this?

    It’s no secret that Nick Gordon has been under investigation for the situation that left Bobbi Kristina Brown hovering near death. However prior reports made it sound like authorities were investigating him to see if he and Bobbi Kristina were doing drugs prior to the time when she was discovered unconscious.

    Bobby Brown has recently made statements via his attorney about many rumors that have arisen since his daughter’s tragedy. In one of them he asked people to disregard a lot of what his family members were saying. Might that be the case with this latest revelation on behalf of Leolah Brown, too?

    “Dr. Phil, With all due respect, Nick Gordon is under investigation for the attempted murder of my niece Bobbi Kristina Brown,” the alleged letter reads.

    “We have strong evidence of foul play,” she added. “Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit.”

    So how does Dr. Phil play into this situation? Earlier this week Nick Gordon taped an episode of The Dr. Phil Show, during which Dr. Phil convinced Gordon to go to rehab. Leolah Brown no doubt thought her letter would convince Dr. Phil not to have Nick Gordon on his TV show.

    It will be interesting to see if Bobby Brown has anything to say about one of his family members once again making the news. In the meantime there is no change in Bobbi Kristina Brown. Her condition remains the same, and Brown–along with Whitney Houston’s mom Cissy Houston–continue to sit vigil at her bedside.

    Do you think Nick Gordon is really under investigation for attempted murder?

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown: Boyfriend Nick Gordon in Rehab

    Bobbi Kristina Brown has spent more than a month in a medically induced coma since being found unconscious in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia home. Now her boyfriend, the one she referred to as her husband, Nick Gordon, has entered rehab for drug and alcohol problems.

    It was announced earlier this week that Nick Gordon would be filming an episode of The Dr. Phil Show. It seems the show’s host, Dr. Phil McGraw, was able to convince Nick Gordon that he needed to go to rehab in light of recent tweets the doctor deemed suicidal.

    The episode on which Nick Gordon appears is scheduled to air next week. Gordon has been distraught over not being allowed to visit Bobbi Kristina Brown in her hospital room. Bobby Brown and other members of Bobbi Kristina’s family have banned him from her bedside. Do you think Nick Gordon shared all of this with Dr. Phil as they filmed next week’s episode?

    Bobby Brown hasn’t made any direct statements to the media of late, but has issued a few through one of his attorneys. He made it quite clear in a recent statement that when Nick Gordon tells authorities exactly what happened to Bobbi Kristina Brown, he will consider allowing him to visit her in the hospital.

    Authorities have maintained since the tragedy that Nick Gordon is under investigation. No one can say for sure how Bobbi Kristina Brown wound up facedown in the bathtub. It’s likely that someone knows what she was doing in the hours leading up to her discovery there, but no one has yet come forth.

    Do you think Nick Gordon going to rehab is a strong indication that both he and Bobbi Kristina Brown had drug and alcohol issues? Might a stint in rehab prevent him from meeting a similar fate?

    Will you tune in next week to see Dr. Phil convince Nick Gordon to go to rehab?
