If Dr. Phil would have only thought like a psychologist rather than a TV personality hungrily trying to exploit a pop star's mental illness — things might have gone better.

Now, after Britney Spears' family publicly denounced the TV shrink, Phil is feeling the searing burn of backlash. According to the New York Daily News, Phil is trying to snag some celebrities for his 1,000 episode, but since the whole Britney disaster—wherein the TV shrink stormed the hospital room of the bi-polar pop star—no one is biting.

"Nobody good wants to go near it," a source told the tabloid.

The source also claims that Phil's peeps were trying to lure celebrities to the show with the promise they can promote any project or charity they please — and when that didn't work, they dropped the "O" bomb, asking celebrities to do it as a favor to Oprah (as Harpo studios owns Phil). Oh, that's low…
