body
It got a little hot in the Los Angeles Forum Wednesday night as George Michael's six-week 'Live Global Tour' of North America made its second stop...and it wasn't because of the lack of AC.

Despite a 20-year absence from playing the region, a relaxed and stridently voiced Michael quickly won over the enthused crowd...except for one.

About midway into the first hour of his performance, Michael took the opportunity between songs to chuckle to himself and murmur teasingly, "...No this is too mean." He then smiled wickedly and proceeded to announce that television therapist Dr. Phil McGraw was present in the audience. After a smattering of applause some of the crowd started to boo. Only spurring the singer on, he mentioned that Dr. Phil's wife, Robin, seemed to be having a good time but, "...in the sea of smiling faces, he's looked miserable for the last hour."

The house camera then managed to get an shot of Dr. Phil, indeed looking on with a scowl and more than a little bit non-plussed. The crowd proceeded to boo even louder.

With an impish look, Michael looked right at the cranky Texan and offered, "You should see someone about that!" With thunderous applause, Michael went on pleasing the rest of the ecstatic crowd for the rest of his 140-minute concert.

***What do you think? Was Michael's diss a proper dressing down of the good doctor or was that a bit rude? Click here to comment!

body That's like inviting someone to a party at your house and then insulting them in front of everyone.

body I am actually amused by this. Dr. Phil seems to be in everyone celebrity's business even before they ask him and it was fun to see him called out a bit. . . Nothing like a crowd full of boos to put yourself into perspective.

body Dr(?) Phil is a joke...he is about as much of a Doctor as Dr Dre and Dr J. Why he is on television is something I will never understand. I think was George Micheal did was great...I'm sure he was dragged there by his wife and had no interest in being there...and he called him on it. Phil seems like he about as much fun as a diaper rash.

body Perhaps Dr. Phil now knows how some of the people felt whom he has publicly dist in the past (i.e. Britney Spears, Tom Cruz). What goes around comes around....

body Just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their opinion, it was a bit rude of George Michael to do this. No one is supposed to judge anyone and while I am a not a big fan of Dr. Phil, it is rude to point out one's behavior especially since no one is perfect!

body Dr. Phil was not "invited" to the concert personally. He bought a ticket. Better that he didn't attend a Kathy Griffin comedy show. Maybe George should headline with Kathy. They're both A list in my book!

body I think what George Michael did was very very rude. He was there to sing his songs to entertain the audiance. I think with what he said he most likely lost a few fans.
