String Conversions

I have a simple problem I can't seem to figure out. It may be because it's late and I'm tired, but here it goes.

I have a simple function that does one thing, set the text in a vgui::RichText, but what it gets passed is a 'char *', and the SetText function doesn't like it.

#include <vgui_controls/RichText.h>
...
void CRssPanel::SetRSS(char *rss)
{
	if(rss)
	{
		RssFeed->SetText(rss); *Boom Crash*
	}
}

So how to I handle the 'char *' before I pass it along to SetText?

Here's SetText's declaration for reference:
void SetText(const char *text);
void SetText(const wchar_t *text);
