Just 30 minutes after the season premiere of Two and a Half Men in which Charlie Sheen's character was killed off, Sheen was roasted on Comedy Central and in the ensuing "which was funnier?" debate, critics generally give the nod to the roast with The Wrap calling Men's humor "scabrous" and concluding, "Not only were the roast references to Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men funnier than the episode of Two and a Half Men, but even the roast references to Ashton Kutcher were funnier than Ashton Kutcher himself was on Two and a Half Men. At any rate, Sheen is the one laughing all the way to the bank as his settlement with Warner Brothers will net him over $100 million over the next decade.

Rihanna's hit single "S&M" is clearly autobiographical, as she tells Rolling Stone that she's into the rough stuff. "Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your s**t. That's fun to me...I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."
