Denise Richards shielded the truth from her two daughters with Charlie Sheen while the actor was personally and professionally struggling. Richards, 54, admitted she may have "sheltered" her kids too much from the realities of what their father was going through while they were growing up. The reality TV star recalled the lengths at which she went through to not only protect their daughters, but also maintain a healthy relationship with her ex-husband.

Gary Rose BBC Sport journalist Brendon Mitchell BBC Sport journalist If you went to watch a football match at the weekend, it's likely you were glued to the action on the pitch rather than what was happening off it. And the first thing you probably told your friends and family about after the game was the great goal, the extraordinary save or the eye-catching skill you witnessed. It turns out, however, there's a whole other sideshow happening just a few feet from the touchline. "It's psychology in action," said Dr Gillian Cook - senior lecturer in sport and performance psychology at Liverpool John Moores University. "Stress is incredibly high." That sideshow, of course, is in the dugout and technical area. And the person feeling the stress is the one responsible for what's happening in front of them - the manager. "They know the influence of what they do on the performance of players," added Dr Cook, who has studied the behavi...

Russell Brand admitted sex was one of his main motivations for pursuing fame days after he was charged with rape and sexual assault. Brand, 49, opened up about why he "even bothered becoming famous" in the first place while continuing to deny any nonconsensual sexual encounters. "It's difficult not to reflect that indeed, the people participating in this are victims of a type, but not victims of me because I've always been open," he said in a video posted Monday to Rumble . "You can go and watch my stand-up comedy. You can read my book. I couldn't have been more clear that I was out there having sex with anybody who wanted to." "And let me tell you, when you're a famous guy, people are up for it," Brand explained. "People are up for it! I've got to be honest here. That's part of the reason I even bothered becoming famous in the first place, because I thought this will be a glorious opportunity for hedonistic ad...

Some just stand there looking calm, some move around wildly and others spend a good chunk of time shadowing the fourth official. Every manager does it differently - so we wanted to find out exactly how differently. Over the past three days, we sent a BBC Sport journalist to all 10 Premier League games to closely watch what every manager did as the action unfolded. They spent the matches recording data on where each boss stood, while also surveying how they interacted with those around them. We know that there are many variables that can determine how a manager reacts so measuring across a single weekend is certainly not definitive, but we were curious to see what unfolded. The data enabled us to produce a heatmap for every manager, which you can find below along with observations from each journalist. Some heatmaps will show a number that is either just above or just below 100%. That is because we rounded our percentages up or down to improve readability within the graphic...

It has been 720 minutes since Leicester last scored at home in the Premier League. With Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle, the Foxes became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring. Ruud van Nistelrooy's relegation-bound side have not found the back of the net at the King Power Stadium since 8 December - a 2-2 draw with Brighton. "Nothing surprises me with this group and this manager and this football club at the minute," ex-Foxes winger Matt Piper told BBC Radio Leicester. "The anger for me is done, they are sucking the life out of me. This is as bad as it's ever been and we are a club that has dropped down to League One football." Leicester have registered 82 shots on goal this term but have only accumulated an expected goals (xG) tally of 6.58. Against Newcastle, Leicester's possession was at a healthy 58% but that creative spark was missing once again with an xG...
