Last week, we couldn’t keep up with spread of protests in the Middle East. This week, we were forced to keep up with Charlie Sheen. The actor’s various interviews in recent days have lost him and the rest of the Two and a Half Men crew a successful TV show. One of our DC Housewives has taken the sympathetic route, while media guy Howard Kurtz made us realize what Sheen and Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi have in common.

@theREALLyndaDC Does anyone really need 10 pairs of shoes for 5 days #fashionvictim if I lost 10 lbs I could pull from my size 2-4 closet. Incentive . . .
Most of us have just one closet. Others, apparently, have ones for every occasion or weight check-in.

We’re scared, too, Mary. We’re scared, too. @HowardKurtz Khadafy to Amanpour: “My people love me. They would die for me.” Or because of him. Wow: He’s less tethered to reality than Charlie Sheen.
Anyone else thinking what I’m thinking? It’s time for a Sheen and el-Qaddafi (Khadafy? Kadaffi? Who knows?) reality TV show.
