[Kaye:] In case you missed the erratic tell-all interview Charlie Sheen gave Monday to the "Dan Patrick Show," let me jog your memory. Listen to him recap the pep talk he made to the UCLA Basketball team about smoking crack.
[Charlie Sheen, Actor:] I said stay away from the crack, which I think is pretty good advice, unless you can manage it socially, Dan. If you can manage it socially, then go for it. But not a lot of people can, you know?
[Dan Patrick, Radio Talk Show:] Did you think you could?
[Sheen:] Sorry?
[Patrick:] Did you think you could?
[Sheen:] Yes, yes, but that kind of blew up in my face.
[Patrick:] Are you
[Sheen:] Like an exploding crack pipe, Dan. Sorry.
[Kaye:] Yes, just like that. Needless to say, that interview and Charlie Sheen have been trending ever since. I want to bring in Lisa France now. She's a writer and producer at CNN.com. Apparently a lot of fallout from this interview.
[Lisa France, Cnn.com Writer/producer:] A lot of fallout Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, one of his ex-wives, Denise Richards talked to the ladies from "The View" yesterday and she talked about how difficult it is dealing with this in the light of the fact that they have two young daughters who are growing up. Their daughters are five and six, and they're old enough to start hearing about what's going on with daddy. So she talked a little bit about how it's been really hard to talk to try to talk to them on their level and explain what's happening with daddy.
[Kaye:] Yes, because when he goes out there and talks, it really affects the family.
[France:] Yes, absolutely, especially when he says things like if you can manage crack socially, it's all good.
[Kaye:] Right. Imagine his kids Googling him one day.
[France:] Exactly, exactly.
[Kaye:] Oh my. But Sheen isn't the only star who is trending.
[France:] Absolutely not, from the currently troubled to the formerly troubled. Britney Spears just debuted her brand new video on MTV. It's the he video for her debut song on her new album "Hold it Against Me."
[Kaye:] And what do you think of it?
[France:] It's I'm confused. It's very Gaga-esque. Of course, it's Britney back scantily clad. That's how we love Britney and to see her in the little shorty-shorts. And there's lots of product placement. We saw right there a little bit of her new cologne that she had.
[Kaye:] I was just going to say, what is she selling her products while she's dancing?
[France:] Yes, she's selling Sephora make-up. She's selling a little bit of everything. So yes, but I don't really get what the video's supposed to be about. The song is about a man holding his body against her but the video is about her being an alien, it looks like, a hot alien who loves cologne.
[Kaye:] And just real quickly, what's the response to it? Is it doing well?
[France:] People are happy for her. They're happy to see her back and healthy. She was our Lindsay Lohan, not too long ago.
[Kaye:] Right.
[France:] So they're excited that she's back. But they're trying to figure out exactly what the video means.
[Kaye:] Yes, she has made the comeback, but it's interesting to see the product placement, I got to say. Absolutely, but she looks great.
[France:] She looks fabulous. Do your thing, Britney, I say. Go ahead make that money.
[Kaye:] Lisa France, always a pleasure. Good to see you.
[France:] Always a pleasure, good to see you, Randi. And we'll be right back.
