Intervention Alert:Martin Sheen tries to save his dying son

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 22 November 2010

While Charlie Sheen has been mentioned several times on the covers of The Only Ten Magazines That Matter this year, this is the first time his dad Martin has been mentioned. The Examiner wouldn't normally have a story about Charlie Sheen because their demographic skews older than that, but Martin has been acting since I was in grade school doing a story about him is right up their alley.

I hope the story is true. Somebody who loves him has to pull Charlie Sheen out of this tailspin before he ends up in the hospital or jail. Or both.

Demon Drugs Alert™:Intervention for Whitney Houston

Publication: National Enquirer
Date: 18 Oct. 2010

The Enquirer is the magazine interested in the Whitney Houston saga. In Touch had one story about her snorting coke in public, but all the rest of the stories this year have been run by The Flagship. This story actually has a glimmer of hope to it.

Whitney's friends are staging an intervention. Bobby Brown is quoted as saying "This is all my fault." He also is given credit for staging a secret meeting. Among the alleged attendees were Janet Jackson, Denzel Washington and Brandy.

I usually don't write this about stories in the Enquirer. I actually hope this one is true.
