We've Got Another Dr. Phil On Our Hands

joaquin phoenix

Paul Dobransky, a Chicago-based psychiatrist, wrote an email to MTV News diagnosing Joaquin Phoenix as mentally ill. When Joaquin's publicist got a hold of the email she fired back with "How absolutely inappropriate for a doctor who has no personal interaction or relationship with someone to diagnose them...And to do so in a public forum. Hope they spelled his name right. Another 15-minute 'expert' is born!"

Does Dr. Paul not realize its a big f'n joke? If it wasn't, does he really think that Ben Stiller, and the rest of the gang would be mimicking him during the Oscars? I think Joaquin's publicist's statement was right on when she said, "another 15-minute 'expert' is born". She's so right, some people will leech on to anything to get themselves ahead. And, let's just say Joaquin was actually mentally ill, it's absurd that a random doctor who doesn't even know Joaquin would send an email to MTV News about Joaquin's mental state! I would love to read Dr. Paul's diagnosis on the late Andy Kaufman...

We already have one too many Dr. Phils in this world, Dr. Paul needs to pipe down.
