George Michael Tells Dr. Phil to See a Shrink

With George Michael playing his first L.A. show -- at the Forum -- in 20 years on his 45th birthday, memorable moments and celeb spottings were guaranteed. But one famous face not enjoying it apparently was Dr. Phil. After mentioning the TV shrink was in the house, generating a fair amount of boos, Michael said, "I probably shouldn't say this, but he's here with his wife who's having a whale of a time. And then in this sea of shining faces, he's had this miserable look for the last hour." Laughing, he added, "Perhaps you should see someone about that."

Meanwhile, actress Bo Derek brought out a giant birthday cake for Michael right before 'Freedom,' wrapping up a two-and-a-half hour set of superb pop showmanship, with performances of 'I'm Your Man,' 'One More Try,' 'Father Figure' and, of course, 'Careless Whisper.'

Early in the set, Michael apologized to fans for his long absence. But they didn't mind. All that mattered was he had returned, and they were eating out of the palm of his hand. Well, except for Dr. Phil.
