After "ambushing" the Britster in the hospital on Saturday, Dr. Phil has canceled his upcoming show on Spears and her troubles. He just released 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 tomorrow, 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."

Spears' parents were set to appear on the show but this morning her father, Jamie, pulled out. We here think that Phil was exploiting the fallen pop star to improve his ratings. (Isn't that stating the obvious?!?)

What do you think?
