Jerry Sandusky's Victim No. 1 Speaks Out
Originally posted 10/18/2012 05:05PM
For the past four years, since he first came forward to say that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had sexually abused him, he's been known as Victim Number 1. But now, the young man who was a key witness in Sandusky's trial is ready to share his name, the horror of the abuse he suffered and how he found the courage to speak out.
Aaron Fisher, 18, has written a book, Silent No More: Victim 1's Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky, with his psychologist, Mike Gillum, and his mother, Dawn Daniels, to be published on Oct. 23 by Random House.
"Saying sexual abuse has happened was hard," says Fisher in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, on newsstands next week. "But I wanted to help people see that it is better to come forward and tell somebody than to be silent."

What do you need to play the neighbor from hell?
How about garish swimsuit, a mullet haircut, ink, belly-button ring, an unseasonable tan and an antagonistic attitude.
Brooke Shields, playing trashy neighbor Rita Glossner, had them all in spades – not to mention that at 5'11" she towers over the ABC sitcom's leading lady, Patricia Heaton – on Wednesday night's episode of The Middle.
Rita, convinced that Frankie Heck (Heaton) has stolen the Glossner garden hose, promises to rain fire down on the Heck household. In the reign of terror that ensues, Frankie even chips a tooth, though it is all her own fault.

"They're so busy trying to get their own tribe members out right now. We're like, 'Okay, do what you gotta do, and we'll come in later.' "
– Taj George, Survivor: Tocantins
Survivor wears you down. It's day 11, and the contestants are totally spent. Their fat reserves are gone; they're listless and starving; they're beset by horrifying flies from beyond the gates of Hell. And the worst part is, the game's not even one third over.
Wednesday's episode was all about armor. Each of us, in our lives, puts on a brave face as we do battle with the world. When we're weak, we turn to our loved ones. When we're tired, we retreat into ourselves. But those aren't luxuries you're allowed in the ceaseless game-playing of Survivor. One of the major differences between good and bad players is who can keep their armor on even under that extreme duress.

"We're in! Are you kidding me? Of course," O'Donnell – who compared the show's 7-year-old star, Alana Thompson, to Shirley Temple – told PEOPLE Monday at her Annual Building Dreams for Kids Gala to benefit Rosie's Theater Kids.
And she insisted she'd head to Georgia herself to help do the work.
"They do that Extreme Makeover show – hello! I will call David Zaslav [President and CEO of Discovery Communications] when I get home. I will say [the family is] very into an addition, maybe we get Home Depot to chip in, and we make it the Christmas special: Rosie O'Donnell and Honey Boo Boo's Renovation."

Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg will always remember his toddler's bravery after she fell ill with leukemia.
Diagnosed in 1980, Sara Goldberg would routinely tell her fellow young patients, "Don't cry," her father says. And she would reassure him by saying, "It's okay, Daddy."
Sara died at age 2. "Thirty-one years later," says her father, "I still cry."
It's the memory of Sara's courageous battle that drove Goldberg to found Kids Kicking Cancer, a nonprofit dedicated to providing children with cancer and other serious diseases with free lessons in martial arts, breathing techniques and meditation.
