I have to admit that I knew that Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller weren’t divorced yet, because I pay close attention to these stupid details for my job. It seems like they should have been long over, but given the immense undeserved wealth that Charlie is so intent on squandering there are plenty of details that needed to be worked out. The settlement has been all squared away, and a judge signed off on it but ruled that they won’t be officially single until May 2 for some reason. Brooke has said that Charlie isn’t cheating on her because they’re separated anyway, so it’s not like an officially married status is keeping Charlie from starting his hooker family.
Brooke is going to get $55,000 a month in child support along with a $500,000 signing bonus for marrying Charlie and at least $300,000 extra. (Her prenup stipulates that she gets $300,000 per year of marriage and they were together for over a year.) So Brooke is going to make some money off of this, but considering that Charlie makes $1.2 million an episode it’s not like she’s getting even 7% of his income for one year. (Based on the amount of episodes last year and factoring in child support.)
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg finalized Sheen’s divorce from his ex-wife Brooke Mueller Sheen, but the pair will not be legally single until May 2.
The actor and Brooke Sheen filed dueling divorce petitions in November, citing Christmas Day 2009 as the day of their breakup. Charlie Sheen was arrested in Aspen, Colo., that day on suspicion of domestic violence against his wife. He later resolved the case and spent 30 days on probation.
The former couple will split the royalties from baby portraits of them and their twin sons, and the actor will keep his Hollywood Hills home, court records show. The Sheens signed a prenuptial agreement before their May 2008 wedding, which called for Charlie Sheen to pay Brooke Sheen more than $750,000.
The pair will share legal custody of their sons, although physical custody is granted to Brooke Sheen with substantial visitation time allotted for the actor. He is required to pay $55,000 a month in child support, according to the agreement filed with the court.

Doesn’t it seem like Charlie treats hookers better than the women he marries? They probably make more per hour, that’s for sure.
There are all sorts of other stories about Charlie. In Touch reports this week that he’s not taking at home “rehab” seriously, no sh*t Sherlock, and that he has those fake teeth over his gold fillings because his teeth are ruined from years of drug abuse. Charlie recently smiled for some paparazzi photos without his fake teeth on and his gold teeth look much better than they did in the TMZ video.
Charlie is expected to go back to work on the Two and Half Men set by the end of the month. He’s offered to cover 1/3 of the salary of the crew, who work as freelancers and go unpaid when the show is on hiatus, in the interim. EW estimates that it will run him around half a million.
If Charlie can hold it together enough to do his job the show will probably go on. His image isn’t even taking a hit from it. A new poll shows that more people think of him favorably after this latest scandal.

Woohoo, that biatch just earned her some serious crack money. Loser’s, what a way to earn a living.
I think people are astounded this guy is still walking upright and continuing to be a smart ass. I think there’s some sort of morbid fascination-how long can he possibly continue on this path? And I think he and Brooke have some sort of secret agreement that she’ll get paid out big as long as she keeps her mouth shut about his shenanigans.
So, who got custody of the coke and booze?
Wow, he’s a real teflon cokehead isn’t he?
@ brin – He’s who Blohan aspires to be. 😀
@Happymom…yeah, that’s true, the wives are paid to be quiet so we have to depend on the hookers for info on what goes on.
@the original bellaluna…she’s almost made it, hasn’t she?
It was nice that Charlie acted with such class and dignity during the seperation. It’s shows he respects his wife and the institution of marriage. He could have been partying all night with “strange” and “stranger” but he chose to….oh, wait……never mind.
I suspect the public does not judge him harshly, mostly cause he acknowledge without hesitation, that he is a hooker loving coke head.
Where as coke loving Lohan is trying to desperately to sell a morally righteous up bringing. With Mother Crackhead and that Father of hers. Since they both taught her not to lie, cheat or steal.
He certainly isn’t in denial about who he is. I just watched him in Navy Seals and he was so young and cute and talented….what a waste.
“Doesn’t it seem like Charlie treats hookers better than the women he marries?”
When I worked at the bunny ranch, there was a philosophy: men will cheat on their wives, but they won’t cheat on their hookers…
Not being a hooker myself, I didn’t quite understand it at first. What I think it means is that hookers are paid to be the perfect woman. There is no drama of a wife, only catering to the man’s needs. I guess I can see how some men could prefer prostitutes, even though its pretty lazy.
Why, oh why did they choose to have those babies? What a shame. I wonder who is raising those boys now? Certainly not their pathetic crack-rents.
@ Hautie. I agree with you about Sheen. I thing my reason for being indifferent to him is because this is what you expect so there is no shock value. I am reading this book called Hellraisers about Richard’s Burton and Harris, Peter O’toole and Oliver Reed. Those guys knew how to do it right and made no apologies for it and I was thinking people in today’s Hollywood are a bunch of bitches. Then I remembered Sheen. Good job Charlie with being old schol destructive.
@ brin – Yes, yes she has.
He must go by the old saying “keep your wives close and your hookers closer”.
@Hautie – I totally agree. The reason the public isn’t harsh with Charlie is because he doesn’t pretend to be something he is not.
He just goes about his business and does his own thing and he’s not out trying to sell his personal life. He’s a veteran…this isn’t his first round. We all know what Charlie is like. THe women who married him know what he’s like.
We all know he’s a hooker loving, crack smoking, hard partying bad boy, who goes to work when he’s suppose to and makes himself and hundreds of other people a truck load of money.
I f**king LOVE Charlie Sheen.
I heard he now gets $2 Million per episode. Anyway, the amount these celebrity ex-wives get seems to be a very lucrative way of feathering their nests and ensuring a cozy future….wow.
Charlie may be an alkie, but he is still one of my favorite actors, just as I love Robert Downey Jr!
Why does Brooke Mueller always look out of her league? Always awkwardly dressed and stiff. Plus this divorce was hashed out long ago (like 6 months ago at least)and it hasn’t changed. They stayed together legally for other reasons for sure.
As tired as Brad and Angie stories can get when you flit from that to this you see a fugly, down market duo.
He was a bona fide gorgeous movie star, now I’m supposed to be impressed with a toothless sit com actor who fails to shock with naked hookers falling from his closet?
Don’t fool yourself Charlie.
You’re toothless for God’s sake! You don’t even care you got no teeth and neither do we.
You’ve gone straight to Has Was, baby.
I can’t look at him without gagging, thinking of him yakking over a big pile of coke, naked in a hotel room with dumb girlies pretending like he’s not disgusting.
Hope the rehab bill is all on him, not to mention a new set of choppers.
Rotting Dick (his new name) .
I always thought Brooke was pretty but recently noticed her meth face on an interview for some show she is starting with Paris Hilton ?!? Not sure if it was Paris or not.
