The rumors that Dr. Phil could lose his show over his latest stunt – where one of his producers paid $30,000 to bail out a teenager arrested for beating another teen – are getting the “shot down” treatment today. After MSNBC’s The Scoop circulated the possibility that Oprah’s Harpo Productions has been looking, for months, to ax their deal with the show, Fox 411’s Roger Friedman says that ratings are just too strong to see the show get killed. But Dr. Phil’s shoveling $2.4 million in tax free cash into his charitable foundation in 2006, and then distributing just $450,000 of it? That will nicely spark a new daytime controversy.
