Throughout the show, there were video clips of the American Girl Place store, the dolls and books. At the end of the show, Dr. Phil gave all the girls in the audience Chrissa dolls. The video here is part 1 of 5 from the show. All 5 parts have been uploaded to YouTube if you are interested in seeing all of them.

Whether you are a fan of Dr. Phil or not, the show really did touch on the issues tween girls and their parents do deal with on a regular basis. And it is nice to see American Girl getting involved on a larger scale.

Actress Lisa Rinna is a big American Girl doll fan. She and her husband Harry Hamlin took their two daughters to the opening of the American Girl Place in Los Angeles in 2006. And here is the cutest picture of Lisa holding two of their dolls as she arrived at the premiere of the Kit Kittredge – An American Girl movie this summer at The Grove. ]]> http://dolldiaries.com/lisa-rinna-and-her-american-girl-dolls/feed/ 33 http://dolldiaries.com/katie-holmes-and-suri-outside-american-girl-place/ http://dolldiaries.com/katie-holmes-and-suri-outside-american-girl-place/#comments Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:19:07 +0000 Char http://dolldiaries.com/katie-holmes-and-suri-outside-american-girl-place/ We know the stars love American Girl, too! After all, Madison Pettis had her birthday party there, Oprah had lunch at the American Girl Place in Chicago, Miley Cyrus was recently spotted at the Chicago store, too, and countless other celebs have joined in the in the fun. Recently Katie Holmes and daughter Suri were photographed leaving the American Girl Place in Los Angeles (at The Grove). I wonder if she got her a Bitty Baby or not?
