Millions of kids in America are already packing on the pounds, a problem Dr. PHIL McGRAW takes seriously and labels a "silent epidemic." Today, TV's top doc will feature several cases of childhood obesity on his show as he takes a stand for the kids.
"There is nothing more silent than those [epidemics] that affect a child, because they have no voice," Dr. Phil tells ET's JANN CARL. "They have no platform. They have no leverage. The epidemic of obesity in childhood is staggering. Seventy percent of children who are obese will become obese adults."
"American Idol" is back for its sixth ratings-busting season, and it's no wonder that America is tuning in. A great many of the people who show up to audition have to be seen to be believed -- and that has always been the fun of the first few weeks of the competition's search for the next singing sensation!
"I will say this: I'm never a fan of the beginning auditions," PAULA ABDUL told ET in a recent interview. "I get it; they're funny. But for us, [many auditioning singers are] delusional, and you have no idea what it's like for us to sit in our seats. But I tell you, this season, I can't wait to see the beginning, because they're insane. They're insane, and SIMON COWELL thinks I'm actually crossing over to the dark side, because I actually was in my seat saying, 'You've got to be kidding me.'"
