www.tvguide.com/News/Dr-Oz-Says-1030667.aspx John Edward, the ‘psychic’. Dr. Oz has become a believer and in between segments on healthy eatin’ and an audience quiz, John Edwards is going to work the crowd and contact the Great Beyond.:rolleyes: (This is AS IF Suze Ormond had decided an astrologer would be a swell addition to her show.) ---

Maybe John Edwards can contact DeForrest Kelley in the great beyond, and convince Dr Oz to give Leonard Nimoy the Spock Ears back. ---

I didn’t \*need \*a reason to never ever watch Dr. Oz, but thanks. I’ll keep that in mind just in case. ---

Holy Shit! This convinced him? > [@](#): > > At first John was saying this to one particular woman in the audience, and she kept insisting she didn’t know anyone who died that way. It was really awkward. [Laughs] We must have sat there three or four minutes — which in TV time is an eternity — while John badgered this poor woman. He was so certain he was in the right part of the audience. But this woman just would not cop to it! Then all of a sudden, just to this woman’s right, was this other young woman who whispered, “It’s me.” She was completely ashen and almost couldn’t speak. It turns out, her best friend’s brother was run over by a truck and killed on Valentine’s Day The person “close” to her was _sitting beside her_? WTF? And Edward’s “voices” couldn’t tell? Jesus, dying and turning into a ghost must make you stupid as hell. ---
