More than just winning: Why Charlie Sheen is news, like it or not

In the tiger blood-fueled media blitz of the last week, which has seen Charlie Sheen show up everywhere from TMZ to Howard Stern, from sports radio to network news, in only one appearance did he directly admit to violence against a woman (video above). That interview re-airs tonight – Sheen's wide-ranging, one-hour sitdown with Piers Morgan (his first live TV interview from Monday night).

As Sheen has captured the interest of the media and the Twittersphere, several outlets have covered Sheen in a different way – suggesting the coverage is misguided, hurtful or in some cases, shouldn't be occurring at all. Let's address these concerns. FULL POST

Breaking Free

In 1977, at age ten, I was cast on the TV sitcom Good Times. My character was Penny, an abused child in desperate need of love. I really didn’t want to do the show. I didn’t want to be away from my family. And being on television only added to my negative feelings about my body. FULL POST

"The longest walk is when you don't know where it will end"

A personal account from Nic Robertson. This column originally appeared here on CNN.com. See Robertson's wife's original column here.

The longest walk is when you don’t know where it will end.

The longest minute is when you are worried about what’s coming.

In Alexandria both are in easy reach.

Two hundred yards, that’s all that separated us from thousands of chanting demonstrators. They’d been marching all afternoon listening to calls of solidarity. Now it was night, rain was falling and stragglers were leaving towards us. FULL POST

"Nic is under no illusions about the dangers ahead" – a personal reflection from Nic Robertson's wife, Margaret

Nic is under no illusions about the dangers ahead. This is major league bad stuff. I am as worried about him this time as I have ever been, in all our years together.

It could have been written as Nic headed for Egypt last week – a lifetime ago now – but it’s a 2004 diary entry, written as he headed to some other conflict in some other, embattled land.

In fact, it could have written in almost any time during the last 20 years. Egypt is just his latest heart-stoppingly dangerous pinpoint on the map. His office may be in CNN’s shiny, impressive London production center. But Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Darfur, Bosnia – Egypt! - these are the places he usually works, on the ragged outer perimeters of man’s inhumanity to man. FULL POST

The people I met in Egypt: A "Piers Morgan Tonight" producer looks back

"Piers Morgan Tonight" Editorial Producer Andrea Lewis writes:

The clashes in Egypt have a personal meaning for me because I visited the country back in September on my honeymoon. I was fascinated by the culture and the history but most of all, the people. As I watched the news today, I was reminded all of those people who made our time in Egypt so special and I wanted to share some of their stories: FULL POST
