DR. PHIL, PLEASE - take this a step further on just how far a stage mother like Dakota Fanning's mother "Joy" sacrficed her daughter in the hopes of her little girl Dakota getting an Oscar nomination.  "It's a gritty perfomance that may just earn Dakota an Oscar".  Remember - Dakota as the little darling in "Charlette's Web"?  She is 12 years old now and just completed the movie "Hounddog".  In the movie the character gets raped by a grown man.  Dakota slips on a body suit while she "acts" like she is being raped by this grown man.  Her mother and manager thinks this ok because they are on the set, and she has a body suit on during the rape scene.  Dakota also runs around appearingly naked or clad only in underpants.  Dakota defended the actions of her mother saying they are "friends" and she totally trusts her mother's decisions regarding her career.  Please anyone reading this!!!  The only way to stop this is, is with the almighty dollar.  DO NOT PAY to see this movie!  Boycott the theater, Boycott next years Oscars.  In America we have free speach.  We have the choice to read what we want, write what we want.  We also have the right to choose not to put money into the pockets of people who produce and direct small children in basically soft porn films, and call it acting.  Imagine what frame of mind that little girl had to get into to ACT like she was being raped.  Did the other actor who was acting like he was raping her, grind himself into her body suit?  That poor child.  She will never have her innocence back.  The sad thing is that this desensitizes a person so much, you are just setting them up to be abused later in life.  Hollywood would not use children like this, if we did not pay to go see it.  Think of all the pedofiles and perverts who will now be able to walk into a general public theater, and be able to get their jollies all for 8.00 a look.  Don't support the abuse of this child, and the others like her.

Kids will do what parents want because they want their parents' love and approval.  They want their parents to be happy, don't want to disappoint them.  If a parent let's the kid know how much they want their child to do well at something, most kids will try very hard to succeed at it, even if they don't really want to do it.  Of course, behavior frequently changes once they hit the teen years, but even then kids want their parents' approval.

It has been said that there is a "profile" for people who hoard cats inside their homes. Usually a woman,over 60 living alone. I don't think Kristy exactly fits this profile. I have seen a woman from a town near ours on t.v. twice. She fits this profile and the cats are in her house and it's a real stinky mess. It seems like for her it's a compulsion that she has trouble controlling. On both occasions she defended herself saying that her cats were well cared for. Not true, in fact some of them had to be euthanized. They had cameras inside her house and it was a mess. I don't know if she got any help for herself, but she got fined and was told to not do it anymore. It's probably going on all over the country. I love cats and have 4 of them.I hope I never get to the point that I'm outta control. All of mine are fixed. In our area we can contact St.Assiss's and if we qualify we can send our animals to a nearby town and have them fixed and get their rabies shots cheaper than going to the vet. Sometimes they also have a traveling hospital van where people can get help with getting their pets spayed and neutered .I know that I am at my limit as to what we can afford. 5 dogs 4 cats If I were to get anymore I'd be in over my head.

i honestly don't think Dr Phil meant no disrespect to LUPUS in any way, i also don't think the show was directed to whether or not it could be fatal, but i do think that this show was more about getting the message out that if you see someone having problems of any kind, dont wait for a picture of death one can sell for millions, GET THAT PERSON TO A DAMN HOSPITAL EVEN IF IT MEANS TO CARRY THEM OVER YOUR SHOULDER TO GET THEM THERE!!! seems a picture of a happy and healthy face would be worth more than all the money in the world, dont you?

  Hi there,

 

 It is an auto immune disease which basically means that our bodies attack us.  We can have subtle issues like a skin rash, all the way to death from Lupus attacking a vital organ.  Many of us are plagues with fatigue and often we have a 'butterfly' rash across our face. We (i) have gone from being a beautiful, outgoing person to an overweight, tired person. this disease, no matter how you are affected changes your entire life.

 

We sufferers want to fight this so bad, yet we are prisoners in our bodies. We are simply to tired.  The entire thought of  the mention of LUPUS on national television , was great. I was hoping it might get the ball rolling on some attention that it needs desperately.  The Lupus Foundation AZ  planned a walk last year to help with research and the planning committee ALL has Lupus, guess what happened? It was never done....why? We were all to tired!

 

  I hope this helped a little. I was on chemo for years and I have a port in my chest, just like some cancer patients do. it is the same severity, except, sometimes cancer strikes in a certain place and it can be removed, Us with Lupus never get to have that done, our symptoms can change as quickly as momentarily!

   Please visit www. lupus.org or search Lupus anywhere on the web.

I actually meant that since she'd had a Brazilian wax, that they couldn't test her hair from down there, either.
