Charlie Sheen might be winning, but in the media firestorm that has erupted around him, are we all on the verge of losing? Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, which brings us to the Yidio Question of the Day:

Yes:

Good lord, yes. My eyeballs are bleeding (tiger blood of course) from the amount of news that is being thrown at me from all angles about Charlie Sheen.

Christina Aguilera’s smash hit “Ain’t No Other Man” has boomeranged back to her with a lawsuit.

Aguilera has been listed as a codefendant in a lawsuit from TufAmerica, who declares they are the legal, rightful owner to a song that was sampled in “Ain’t No Other Man.”

The same powers that gave Sheen the spotlight, may be the force that shows him the door.

When Charlie Sheen took to a circuit of morning-show interviews on Feb. 28, he unleashed his colorful point of view, wacked-out catch phrases (..duh) and demanded a $1 million raise.

While the show “Two and Half Men” gave Sheen the axe, the rest of the world (twittersphere and all) gave Sheen a social media throne.

On this day in 1997, Christopher George Latore Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls, aka The Notorious B.I.G., was gunned down in a drive-by on the streets of Los Angeles.

That day, the world lost one hell of a talented artist and a larger than life hip-hop hero.

Biggie would be 38 years old were he still alive, and in his honor, today's Yidio Video of the Day is a clip from "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme," featuring a 17-year-old Biggie freestylin' on the streets of Bed-Stuy, ripping his opponent a new one with a full-on verbal assault.

It looks like Michaele Salahi found a party she couldn't crash.

Pre-production should start right away on the project, which aims to portray the events leading up to the BP oil spill based on the investigative piece "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hour.
