The blogosphere is tittering that Dr. Phil McGraw's 31-year marriage to his wife, Robin, is collapsing, but they're making harmonious public appearances.

Last Friday, Dr. Phil and Robin looked content when they dined with their eldest son, Jay, and his wife, Erica, at Al Biernat's in Dallas.

The gossip site TMZ.com posted a convoluted version of what happened to the McGraws on Wednesday at George Michael's concert at the Forum in LA.

Dr. Phil sat in the third row with Robin, and when he was shown on the big screen, the crowd booed.

According to TMZ, "George then called Phil out, saying Robin appeared to be having a blast, but Phil couldn't be more bored. That was followed by another round of boos. People sitting near the TV shrink tell us Phil and Robin bolted right after that."

Well ... not exactly. First of all, George was teasing Dr. Phil that Robin appeared to have rhythm while he just bobbed his head. Second, the McGraws did not leave, but stayed for the whole show, according to one of George's concert guests.

Wednesday was George's 45th birthday, and Bo Derek surprised him with a giant birthday card at the concert.

It's been 30 years since Pat Snuffer opened his original shoebox-size restaurant, Snuffer's, on Greenville Avenue. "We opened on June 28, 1978," he says.

All day Saturday, he and his business partners (his two kids, Mike Snuffer and Alison Miller) will visit their eight family-owned restaurants handing out "Snuffer's 30 Years" T-shirts.

On Saturday, half the proceeds from their sales of cheddar fries will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, to help wounded veterans.

It was not your average open house Wednesday night when Dallas real estate heavyweight Denny Alberts threw open the doors of his Tuscan-style Park Lane estate.

While building the Ritz-Carlton complex, Denny was the man who lured his friend Dean Fearing away from the Mansion on Turtle Creek to open Fearing's at the Ritz. Denny and Dean are partners in the popular eatery.

So Dean was in the kitchen at Denny's house serving up Fearing's eats to the big names who came to tour the 10,000-square-foot house, which is on the market for $7.25 million.

Denny was the president of Crescent Real Estate Equities right up until it sold last year to Morgan Stanley. While he and the Crescent team were building the Ritz-Carlton, Denny was also creating his dream bachelor house.

But along came tech exec Cynthia Comparin, who stole Denny's heart. The two were soon married and decided to live at the Ritz.

With the help of interior-design powerhouse Sherry Hayslip and her architect husband, Cole Smith, Denny continued work on the Tuscan home, but he never moved in.

Wednesday evening, listing agent Joan Eleazer welcomed VIPs such as Nancy Reagan's former White House social secretary Linda Faulkner, former Crescent Real Estate exec Bill Mabus, Briggs Freeman Real Estate VP Jena May and about 150 others to the house.
