Celebrity Spotlight
The Country Music Hall of Fame inductees were announced yesterday - in the Veterans Era Artist category, Jean Shepard; in the non-performer Songwriter category, Bobby Braddock; and in the Modern Era Artist Category, Reba McEntire. This is a moment Reba has dreamed about since childhood and she now joins the ranks of one of her idols Loretta Lynn. She saw Loretta perform as a child and has always been enamored with her ability to entertain. (Audio) “Everybody in the audience was just leaning forward just to hang on her every word. No matter if there was 20-thousand people there, they thought she was speaking exactly to them. So that’s the things I learned from her. Be yourself. That’s what they want to see is not some made up thing, not an actress. They want to see you, just like you are.” Reba was unable to attend the announcement held at the Country Music Hall of Fame. She’s in Oklahoma with her father who is in a coma after suffering a stroke. She was able to tell him the news two days before he went into a coma. Kix Brooks was on hand to announce Reba as one of the newest inductees and had a message from Reba. (Audio) “She did send a uh…a note that she asked me to read today. It says, ‘I’m so appreciative of being selected as one of the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Thank you so much. This is a wonderful honor during a very emotional time in my life. I really need to be with my mama and daddy right now. And I know that’s where I should be.’” The honorees will be celebrated later this year and recognized during the CMA Awards.

This Is Nuts
Charlie Sheen's busy week continues. Over a million people signed up for his Twitter feeds in one day, and he continued doing interviews, saying things like "my enemies weep into your diapers in my rearview mirror." On the minus side, California authorities removed his young twin sons from his home. And his claim that he's a warlock has ticked off a trio of Salem, Massachusetts witches. They say they're spiritual people who protect others, not fight over power and money. They plan to hold a "Sheen-orcism" and use high magic to try to clear away his negative vibrations, although one joked that what she'd rather do is "Sacrifice him."
* She'd turn him into a slimy, repulsive toad, but the drugs beat her to it.
HEALTH MOMENT
Societal and economic shifts may put more men in Western countries at risk for depression, scientists worry."Western men, particularly those with low education levels, will face a difficult road in the 21st century," write the authors of an editorial in the March issue of The British Journal of Psychiatry. "It may be more difficult, on average, for men to adjust to a domestic role than for women to adjust to a work role."
The recent economic downturn has been dubbed the "Mancession" for its disproportionate effect on traditional male industries, such as construction and manufacturing. Meanwhile, women are outpacing men in the pursuit of undergraduate and graduate degrees and becoming a larger share of primary household earners.
Men's failure to fulfill the role of breadwinner is associated with greater depression and marital conflict, but if societal expectations are altered, men may experience less distress, write researchers of Emory University School of Medicine.
If men are innately less suited to care for young children and maintain households, then their increased contribution in this area could lead to lowered self-esteem and more depression. However, if women are better equipped to care for young children simply because they learn to be that way, through socialization — rather than because of biological differences between the sexes — it may be possible to help expectant fathers make this transition, they write.

Even so, "men in the changing economy will still face the same risks for depression that women faced in older economies: trapped in a family role from which they cannot escape because of an inability to find employment," the researchers write.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
New York model and psychology buff Sarah White has developed a new school of analysis: "Naked therapy." She says it's hard for men to talk about their problems, so she makes therapy more exciting and inspiring by removing all her clothes over the course of an hour-long session. Sessions start via webcam for $150 each, and once she gets to know the client, they can move to in-person sessions. White says many men are torn between the animal world of sex and the repressive, PC work world. She believes it's easier for men to open up and reach rational solutions to problems if they start on the sexual side by talking to a naked woman. But one psychologist said White isn't licensed and this isn't therapy, it's "interactive soft-core Internet porn."
* We've finally found a therapist that Charlie Sheen will agree to talk to.
And I leave you with this thought.
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security."
