"forgetting" about Charlie Sheen as an abuser of women

When we were watching Charlie Sheen in class, I also got caught up in his kind of crazy but sort of compelling behavior; I was laughing too.  I completely forgot to say that one of the ways in Sheen acts out is in violence toward women, which is not so funny.  He ends his "committed" relationships by attacking his female partner, in one case trying to strangle her and in another holding a knife to her throat.  Are we giving him a pass on this because of his celeb. status?  Or is it because of what I said in my previous post? 

Charlie Sheen and acting out

Don't get me wrong; I don't obsess about Charlie Sheen but it did occur to me that he falls into one of two categories of celebs. I can think of.  The first is the "good" celeb--the one who is friendly, does good works, treats other people well, etc.  The second is the bad guy/ bad girl" celeb--the one who can't seem to exercise good impulse control (trashes hotel rooms, other people), is often mean to others, narcissistic, does whatever he wants whenever he/she wants because he/she is a celeb, abuses drugs and alcohol because "it feels good," etc.  It seems to me that while both types can be attractive, we are often most taken with the second.  I wonder if this is because that type of celeb is acting out the kind of impulses and emotions that civilized people are supposed to repress.  I wonder, in short, if the second type is a proxy for what secretly any one of us would like to do if there weren't any consequences to so doing.  In short, I wonder if Charlie Sheen is really my Freudian Id in disguise. 

I also wonder if the first type may not represent an "ego ideal", someone who, for various reasons, we would like to be like.  I wonder, in short, if the first type is either my ego or superego (all those good deeds I think I should do but don't).  Again, in short, I wonder if this individual is my Freudian ego and/or superego in disguise.
