Shocking no one, Brooke Mueller is still an addict. It’s been pretty obvious to me the entire time Brooke was allegedly “clean” – it’s her crazy crack eyes, they betray her every time. So, as CB wrote last week, Brooke went on some kind of crack/coke binge and she was trying to pawn some of her junk for drug money. TMZ reported that they had “multiple sources” claiming that Brooke had officially “fallen off the wagon” on a cracked-out binge – although there was never any wagon. Brooke snorted it years ago. Charlie Sheen’s lawyers made a stink about how Brooke was required to take drug tests as part of their custody arrangement, and apparently Brooke refused. Refusing to take a mandatory drug test is the same as testing dirty, apparently.

So now TMZ reports that after Brooke’s latest week-long crack binge, she’s back in rehab. Charlie’s lawyers were prepared to go to court tomorrow to raise the issue, so Brooke’s rehab jaunt seems to be “preemptive”. Now Radar reports that since Brooke is back in rehab, Charlie Sheen will be seeking temporary custody of their babies. Ugh.

With their mother back in rehab, embattled TV star Charlie Sheen will be seeking temporary custody of his twin sons this week, sources exclusively tell RadarOnline. Mark Gross, Sheen’s attorney, is planning to notify Mueller’s lawyer on Monday that Sheen will ask a judge to give him the boys while Sheen’s soon-to-be-e-ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, is in rehab.

Mueller, 33, reportedly entered rehab over the weekend after a crack cocaine bender — a story first reported by RadarOnline last week. The first signs that something was wrong with Mueller was when she started making calls to friends to ask for drug-free urine.

Then came her trip to a pawnshop in crime-riddled Inglewood, Calif., and her visit with a street drug dealer who said she bought $150 worth of coke from him last Thursday. Then late Friday, Mueller refused to take a court mandated drug test at home.

Said a tipster in Sheen’s camp: “Charlie has had enough with her excuses, period. Brooke refused to take a random drug test. Charlie’s attorney will use that as evidence that the boys are better off with him than with Brooke.”

What is clear, however, is that Mueller and her attorney, Lori Howe, won’t give up the boys without a fight.

Brooke’s attorney is expected to argue that the boys are well cared for with the help of Brooke’s mom, Palm Beach, Fla., socialite Moira Fiore. Howe is expected to argue that Max and Bob haven’t seen much of their dad over the past months. The fired star of Two and A Half Men is currently on the road for his Torpedo of Truth show until May 3rd.

“The last place the twins should be is in a different hotel rooms every night. Toddlers need love, continuity, and stability. They have that with Brooke’s extended family in Los Angeles,” a source in Mueller’s camp said.

Calls to Mueller and Sheen’s attorney’s weren’t immediately returned.

God, I feel so bad for those babies. I pretty much full-on hate Charlie Sheen now, and I think Brooke is disgusting, so I’m on Team Babies for this one. Even I could do a better job parenting those boys than Charlie or Brooke. Hell, even Britney Spears would do a better job. But it does sound like Brooke’s mom is handling the situation well – maybe Martin Sheen should get involved too.

Just yesterday I was praising Miley Cyrus for quitting Twitter over a year ago and for taking responsibility for the fact that she was using it poorly and wanted to step away. She wasn’t sanctimonious about her reasons for no longer informing the world about the minute details of her moods and daily life, and said “I was that person who was like, ‘I’m so sad. I have no real, normal life, everyone knows what I’m doing.’ And I’m like, well that’s my own fault because I’m telling everyone.” Well that will teach me to hold Miley up as a good example of anything. She was back on Twitter on Sunday, even before I wrote that, and one of her first tweets was to drug addict psychopath Charlie Sheen. Her people confirmed that it really was Miley and everything and not someone just promoting her upcoming tour.

During her first day back on Twitter after a 17-month absence, Miley Cyrus lavished love on another talked-about, controversial microblogger: Charlie Sheen.

Late Sunday, the 18-year-old Disney starlet wrote via her new Twitter account gypsyhearttour: “‘Do not fear…the Sheenius is here!’ I’m not gonna lie. I came back to twitter for 2 reasons. My fans and to follow Charlie Sheen.” (A rep for Cyrus confirmed that it was her legitimate account on Monday.)

Amidst his sold out, apparently improving live tour, Sheen, 45, took notice late Monday, and replied, “Dear Miley, Welcome back to Twitter! Always felt you were epic! Now you proved it! Thanks for the love.”

“I always felt the same about you! You have taught me everything I know about WINNING. Duh!” Cyrus replied.

A bit later in the evening, the “Climb” singer told fans she was “Makin dinner for my fam right now. Honey sesame chicken, garlic rice & salad. There’s only one thing missing & that’s Charlie Sheen!”

As I was saying yesterday, Twitter bugs me because I’m an information junkie and a perfectionist and it’s really hard to keep up with it. There’s no end to it, it’s hard to tell what people are referring to and it’s difficult to categorize and sort all that information, much of which is useless. That said, Miley has been tweeting up a storm since she got back on. She’s brought back the duckface personal portraits and she’s telling us how lazy she is and what music she’s listening to. She’s also revealing how clueless she is by citing Sheen as her motivation for sharing details she previously realized were only hurting her public image.

I finally watched that “Charlie Sheen: On The Brink” special on TLC and wanted to scream at the television “he’s just a raving drug addict, why doesn’t anyone state the obvious?” We wouldn’t have anything to talk about if that was the case, and we wouldn’t be able to analyze him ad nauseum. For some people winning means having everyone talk about you. Twitter is useful for that.

In news that seems entirely predictable but still made me roll my eyes, TLC is going to air a one hour Charlie Sheen special called Charlie Sheen: On the Brink on March 20. It’s being co-produced by NBC and it sounds like they’re just going to repackage some of the footage he gave them. The show will also include segments from some of the countless other interviews he’s done in the past few weeks. The format sounds similar to an E! True Hollywood story in that they’re featuring “original interviews on [Charlie's] rise and fall.”

Here’s more:

TLC is getting into the Charlie Sheen business.

The Discovery-owned cable channel, famous for putting on shows like Jon & Kate Plus Eight and Sarah Palin’s Alaska, has ordered an hour-long documentary entitled Charlie Sheen: On the Brink.

It will chronicle the very public unraveling of the recently fired Two and a Half Men actor’s career and public image.

With behind-the-scenes footage and brand-new expert commentary, including MacKenzie Phillips discussing life as a celebrity who has dealt with drugs and recovery, the show takes viewers inside Sheen’s home and examines the relationships with the women in his life and his children.

The special will also highlight other celebrity meltdowns that have captured public attention and offer insight into what drives this bizarre behaviour.

The special, which is being produced in association with NBC News, is slated to air on March 20 at 10 p.m. (EST).

It is expected to include news footage from Sheen’s 24-7 media blitz, as well as original interviews on the actor’s rise and fall.

It’s a great idea for a documentary and will surely earn a lot of viewers for TLC. I just wonder how they’re going to fit it all in to a single hour.

An ten minute animated special on Charlie recently aired on Spike TV. It tells Charlie’s story as if all his outlandish claims are true, and really captures his absurdity. (You can watch it on SpikeTV here.) It was produced by that brilliant Taiwanese animation company, Next Animation, who regularly chronicle celebrity foibles in computer animated skits. According to Reuters, the special counted “down 10 to 12 of Sheen’s most outlandish moments, including: Charlie wrecks a hotel room and loses a $150,000 watch; Charlie Sheen rents a mansion and fills it with porn stars who live as one big happy family; Charlie Sheen does the drug Charlie Sheen.” I almost totally forgot about the hotel room incident after all that Charlie’s done since. He redefined the celebrity freak out and then capitalized on it.

Charlie is now offering T-Shirts through his website. They retail for $19.95 and feature Charlie’s wacky slogans like “Tiger Blood,” “Duh Winning,” “Gnarls Gnarlington,” and “I’ve Got One Speed Go!”

What’s next for Charlie – a TLC reality show? You know they would offer it to him, but they probably can’t afford his salary requirements, hence the documentary.

In other Charlie Sheen news I’m not prepared to recap he’s:
- Moving next door to Paris Hilton and moving out of his “Sober Valley Lodge”
- Supposedly about to film Major League 3 any day now
- Created a short spoof movie for Radar Online with a military theme and featuring music from The Bourne Identity. It shows Charlie dressed in camouflage and going with his buddies to steal his Two and A Half Men trailer. They’re successful at the end, and I was left baffled as to why Charlie was allowed to keep the keys to the trailer. You would think they’d keep that thing on lock down.

I’m loathe to cover another Charlie Sheen story, but like getting out of bed when you have a raging hangover it has to be done. (I didn’t have more than a couple glasses of wine last night during the most boring Oscars ever, but Charlie makes me think of hangovers.) Anyway Charlie was on The Today Show this morning. Advance reports had him giving an “exclusive” to ABC and Good Morning America, but there was said to be drama over ABC not being allowed by the Academy to promote the interview during the Oscars, so maybe that led Charlie into the arms of the other major network besides his former employer, CBS. (Update: Charlie did ABC and GMA too, see below.) Charlie said a bunch of ridiculous, entitled, addict-type sh*t as he has during this entire hiatus from Two and A Half Men. He looked like an ashen skeleton with a weave on his head. If I saw him on the playground when my kid was there I would watch him like a hawk.

Charlie demanded a 50% raise to $3 million an episode, which confirms he was making $2 million an episode up until the show got canceled for the rest of the season. He made some comments about how he was overworked and underpaid and then said that he would own CBS or something. He may be “sober” and he may have passed a drug test from Radar, but his brain has some major holes in it obviously. US Weekly has a good recap that will help me avoid having to transcribe much of this:

In an interview that aired Monday, the embattled Two and a Half Men star, 45, sat down with the Today Show to slam CBS, show creator Chuck Lorre — and insist that he’s on the straight and narrow.

Asked if he’s clean. Sheen retorted, “Look at me. DUH.” The last time he did drugs? “Don’t remember. Don’t care. Drug tests don’t lie.”

The actor admits that he derailed a bit before the two-day bender in January that led him to the hospital. “I don’t know if I’d call it out of control, but the choices I was making weren’t leading to the choice I wanted. I woke up and thought, ‘you’re 45 years old with 5 kids. Let’s do something different.’ I got bored.”

Sheen stopped short of calling his at-home treatment “rehab.” “It was a crisis management center we labeled the Sober Valley Lodge,” the star quipped.

Speaking of his five kids — four of them under ten — Sheen said that he’s not ashamed of his behavior. “God no. Talk about an education!”

He urged his fans not to worry about his health. “I’ve always had a plan and executed it perfectly. Sometimes I overshoot the mark, whatever.” Bizarrely, he boasted of having “tiger blood” and “Adonis blood” to help him kick his addictions.

As for his continued rants against CBS and Chuck Lorre — who put the show on hiatus recently — he explained: “My passion is misinterpreted as anger…I don’t think people are ready for the message I’m delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love.”

That “violent love” came out again as Sheen blasted Chuck Lorre. “Clearly he didn’t bring gum for everyone,” he said, blasting Lorre’s “dictatorial laziness.”

“Come Wednesday morning,” he added, “they’re going to rename [the studio] Charlie Brothers and not Warner Brothers…At this point, it’s 3 million an episode, take it or leave it. Defeat is not an option.”

“If people think I’m insane or if they don’t think what I’m saying is true, I have no interest in their retarded opinions,” he retorted. “I’m going to live my life the way I want and I’m going to win every moment!”

[From US Weekly]

If Charlie would have just sat tight with his little harem and kept his mouth shut CBS and Chuck Lorre would probably be able to deal with him. Instead he’s trying to prove that he’s right and is making it obvious that he’s in no state to wipe his own ass nonetheless carry a major network comedy. He has no clue how he’s coming across and he’s asking for more money for a few hours acting than most of us will make in a lifetime of hard work. He thinks the world revolves around him. “it’s everyone else who is going to be begging me for their job back…. look what they put me through.” He also spouted some crap about how he’s a rock star and no one can process it. The few fans he had left are going to abandon him soon, and he’s going to have to sell off his cars, watches and house to pay for drugs and hookers.

Oh and Charlie claimed that Sean Penn and Colin Farrell stopped by his house to offer support. If that’s even true, they’re probably offering new jobs to Charlie’s “goddesses.”

Update: Charlie did ABC and Good Morning America too. Check out the coverage of that on DListed and the video is below. He seems even crazier if that’s even possible, he looks even worse and says he’s going to sue over getting shitcanned.

Denise Richards has been nothing but gracious in the face of Charlie’s latest hookers and blow meltdown. She’s merely responded that it’s a private matter, that she’s focusing on keeping life normal for her young daughters, and she’s achieved a peaceful coparenting relationship with Charlie. The guy makes a better ex than a husband, especially when you read Denise’s divorce declaration on The Smoking Gun and compare it to details from his Christmas day abuse of his estranged wife, Brooke Mueller. Charlie has an MO in a committed relationship that involves getting physical and threatening to kill any woman that gets in the way of his hookers and blow.

So it’s surprising to hear that not only has Denise taken the high road with the press, she’s turned down over a million dollars to dish the dirt on what really happened with Charlie. (Which again you can pretty much read on the Smoking Gun anyway.) I remember when she went on Oprah in January after Charlie had that abusive incident with Brooke. We were all hoping she was going to talk smack about Charlie, but she didn’t and just said that he pushed and shoved her. She seemed concerned with ensuring that she didn’t make her daughters’ father out to be the bad guy we already know he is.

Here’s the report from Popeater on how Denise has refused to cash in on what she went through:

Denise Richards, who found herself in the middle of a pre-planned press tour before her ex-husband made headlines with his behavior in a NYC hotel, is once again taking the high road. Rejecting offers of over $1,000,000 to sit down and tell all about what happened the night.

“Denise saw everything,” a Richards insider tells me. “Not only did she witness everything that happened that night at the restaurant, hotel and hospital, over the past few years she has seen everything yet refuses to kiss and tell.”

It’s true that the mother of Charlie’s two adorable girls has remained a constant in his troubled life, if only to make sure they know who their father is. However, being that close to Charlie has meant that very little has occurred that Denise doesn’t know about.

And knowledge is power, or profits in this case. Even so, Denise is turning down invites left and right.

“She has turned down Oprah and lots of other media offers that want her to reveal the truth,” an insider tells me. “Since the day they divorced, hundreds of offers have been rejected. It wasn’t her style then and it’s not her style now.”

One thing is sure, no matter what happened that night at The Plaza Hotel, Denise will never reveal. And not because she is trying to protect Charlie, she’s protecting her children.

[From Popeater]

It’s not really accurate that she turned down Oprah, but she may have refused to get into the nitty gritty of what happened with Charlie. I give Denise a lot of credit for not only being so discreet about her experience with Charlie, but also making it seem like it was her own idea. Maybe it was and she’s only being a good protective mom. I still think she got handed a pretty detailed gag order from Charlie as part of whatever settlement she received. She’s probably protecting her money as well, and I can’t blame her for that.

Note: Denise has changed her haircolor since this photo was taken on 10/21. (See pictures above – she’s blonder and it suits her better)

There’s news that abusive creep Charlie Sheen was unsuccessful in contract talks with CBS and won’t be returning to his hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. The show has been on for seven years and is consistently high in the ratings. Star Charlie is one of the highest paid actors on television. According to a source quoted by People, Charlie won’t return to tapings after next week and is off the show. He apparently didn’t accept CBS’ new contract offer and is “quietly telling his friends he’s not coming back.”

After seven seasons, CBS’s hit sitcom Two and a Half Men will be down one man after the April 9 taping, sources tell PEOPLE. The reason? “Charlie’s just done,” says a set source. “And he’s quietly telling his friends he’s not coming back.”

Although sources say the network hoped the star would sign a new contract for an eighth season, Sheen recently turned down the offer. “He wants to move on,” says a friend of the actor, whose contract is fulfilled after he tapes this season’s 22nd episode. “Leaving is 100 percent his idea.”

Sheen rep Stan Rosenfield would only say: “Charlie’s deal is only through this current season.”

[From People]

I don’t watch this show, and the few times I’ve seen it I’ve found the plot predictable, the jokes stupid and the laughtrack cloying. It’s just not my kind of humor. (Community on NBC is my favorite comedy.) So I don’t particularly care if Sheen is off that show. He probably does, though, and it’s not like there are other TV shows clamoring to hire an expensive actor with anger management and image issues. All this “he’s leaving” talk could just be Charlie’s way of holding out for more cash per episode. TMZ reports that Charlie is grandstanding so that he’ll be able to up his salary from $825,000 an episode to $1.5 million an episode. He reportedly rejected a $1 million per episode offer. Supposedly neither Charlie nor CBS want to see him off the show, which has been renewed for two more seasons, up until its ninth.

Last month Sheen plead not guilty to domestic violence charges in Aspen, Colorado for an alleged Christmas day assault on his wife, Brooke Mueller. It’s rumored that Sheen’s defense strategy will involve attacking Mueller’s credibility by citing her drug addiction problem. The case won’t go to trial until July, and maybe by that point we’ll hear that Charlie has nearly doubled his massive salary. The bastard.

Jezebel lets us know that this week’s In Touch claims that Charlie Sheen is back to his old tricks. The 44 year-old actor, one of the highest paid on television, has been romping with a $2,500 a night hooker, doing drugs and giving her his ATM card. Here’s Jezebel’s recap:

Charlie Sheen has been sleeping with a prostitute who charges $2500 a night. And he hasn’t been discreet: Once he gave her his ATM and PIN; once he wrote a check to cash. He likes to snort cocaine and have sex with her for hours. Allegedly.

[From Jezebel]

Charlie is set to go back to work on the set of Two and A Half Men, having delayed production while he attended rehab for the sake of his image. Radar reports that he has a new legal strategy for defending himself against the domestic violence charges still pending in Colorado – he’s going to try to make it seem like Brooke made it all up because she was too wasted to know better. A source tells Radar “We’re not talking about someone who had a few drinks. We’re talking about someone who was wasted at 8 in the morning and who smoked crack. That’s going to kill her credibility and Charlie knows it and he’s going to use it.”

We’ve heard way too many details about Brooke’s alleged addictions to alcohol and crack for them to have come from anywhere but Charlie’s camp. I think he’s been defaming her to the press in an attempt to make it seem like he’s the wronged party, when all the details point to him holding a knife to Brooke’s throat and threatening to kill her. He did the same thing to his last wife, Denise Richards, and there’s another ex girlfriend who approached the Colorado prosecutor and volunteered to testify that he assaulted her in 1996. Charlie also “accidentally” shot his then-fiance, Kelly Preston, in the arm in 1990. I don’t doubt that Brooke was probably wasted during the incident or that she has a problem with addiction, but that doesn’t mean her husband should escape the consequences for abusing her.

Brooke is supposedly not cooperating with prosecutors and can you blame her? Charlie probably told her he’d take a hit out on her and make it look like an accident, just like he did to Denise. I bet he treats that $2,500 a night hooker better than he treats Brooke. This is one man who never should have gotten married or had kids that he is in any way responsible for.

If Radar Online is correct, Charlie Sheen may soon have another ex wife to vilify to the press. They claim that Brooke Mueller is planning on divorcing her abusive husband once their whole domestic violence incident is settled. Brooke has spent the last month in two different rehab facilities, one a kind of high end spa/detox facility in North Carolina, and the other a legitimate rehab in Malibu, where she was rumored to be battling a crack addiction. Brooke brought her kids with her to the second rehab, and now she’s receiving treatment at home while Charlie is off for his own rehab stint. The two exemplary parents are said to have done cocaine together on Christmas Eve before their big blowout, but I bet at least some of those “Brooke is doing cocaine” stories were leaked by Charlie’s camp to make their client look like slightly less of a total creep.

Here’s Radar’s story about how Brooke is planning to get out:

Despite the fact that both Charlie and Brooke’s reps have publicly said they want to work things out, sources who know both of them say it’s actually the exact opposite – both are miserable.

Brooke left two rehab facilities within recent weeks and is doing rehab at home according to her lawyer — the latest chapter in the bizarre saga of her drug and alcohol addiction that has been covered up by her reps.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Brooke is being treated for crack addiction and alcoholism. She has been in rehab more than five times over the years.

Sheen is also in rehab and before he went in he was visited at home by the Department of Children and Family Services. While his reps described that visit as routine (and an outgrowth of the Colorado domestic violence case) it still scared Charlie.

The Two and a Half Men star has been using coke and boozing for months, RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, and he spent his first few day in rehab detoxing.

Drugs, alcohol, rehab and an upcoming domestic violence trial in Aspen form the framework of a marriage that insiders tell RadarOnline.com is “beyond awful.”

“Brooke wants out. She’s said it before and she’s saying it again right now,” a source close the situation told RadarOnline.com. “She’s worried though, because Charlie has a lot of dirt on her. Using drugs while raising children is obviously a horrible situation.”

When RadarOnline.com reported two weeks ago that Charlie was told to go to rehab Team Sheen loudly denounced that report. But shortly after that, Sheen checked into rehab.

Public pronouncements by reps of both Sheen and Mueller about keeping the marriage together are equally disingenuous, says the source.

“The marriage is a nightmare,” said the source. “But each one is worried about ways the other one can hurt them. For Charlie, he’s terrified Brooke can help Colorado prosecutors send him to jail. For Brooke, she knows Charlie knows all the dirt about her drug and alcohol use.”

That mutual fear has kept them together so far, but Brooke has decided enough is enough, says the source.

[From Radar Online]

I hope this is true. A lot of people criticized Brooke for staying with Charlie after he abused her, but I can understand why she kept quiet after I read through Denise Richards’ divorce declaration again. Charlie threatened to put a hit out on Denise and she legitimately feared for her life. It’s not much of a stretch to believe the stories that he told Brooke the same.

TMZ Reports that Denise may be called to testify in the domestic violence case against Charlie in Colorado. In Denise’s declaration asking for a restraining order against Charlie, she described “an alleged incident that is eerily similar to the allegations of his current wife, Brooke Mueller.” Police in Colorado responding to the Christmas domestic violence call reported that Brooke told them that Charlie held a knife to her throat, told her he’d kill her if she told anyone, and said “I have ex-police I can hire who know how to get the job done and they won’t leave any trace.” I hope Charlie is eventually paying much more in alimony and child support than he takes home a month.

Charlie Sheen has shocked the world by entering rehab for the millionth time! I’m clutching my pearls right now, having just dropped my monocle when I gasped and nearly fainted. Yeah, so Charlie is drinking again, and has been for a while. He was even drinking on Christmas day, when he allegedly attacked his wife Brooke Mueller, who was also drinking – as it turned out, she was drunk while Charlie was merely lightly buzzed. Brooke has been in and out of rehab facilities from California to North Carolina for more than a month, and the current tally of Brooke’s substance abuse problems is unknown, but seems to keep coming back to alcohol and crack. Charlie’s current substance abuse problems seem to just be his alcoholism, and it’s unknown if he’s back on cocaine or anything. Here’s more from People:

First his wife entered rehab, and now Charlie Sheen is in treatment, too.

“As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility,” his rep says in a statement. “He will take some time off his series Two and a Half Men.”

Sheen, 44, is also facing domestic violence charges stemming from a Christmas Day fight with wife Brooke Mueller, who herself went into rehab earlier this month, then switched centers amid complaints that her privacy was breached.

It was not immediately known who was caring for the couple’s twin boys.

The statement did not elaborate on the reason for Sheen’s treatment. The actor has reportedly gone to rehab programs at least twice before for drug and alcohol abuse, but a source says that this time the problem relates to the fallout from the domestic violence case.

“Charlie is stressed. He’s tired. The kids are on his mind. Brooke’s on his mind,” the source tells PEOPLE. “A lot of things are on his mind. He didn’t want to get a place where he had the urge to get high. He’s not using and he doesn’t want to. He felt like he needed to get away from negative influences around him and clear his head, rest and take a short break.”

[From People]

This comes just a week after Charlie’s rep got on his high horse and told media outlets that Charlie was not considering going into rehab, and that “no one was telling him to go.” Considering that Radar has been running article after article about Charlie’s continuing drinking problems, I think Radar gets some extra credit, and Charlie’s rep needs to shut the hell up. But you know what? I doubt this rehab visit is even about Charlie needing “help” for his “problems”. I think it’s more about the felony and misdemeanor charges he’s facing in Colorado, and how the completion of a rehab treatment will look to the prosecution.

Hanes’ famous 1990s tagline “Wait till we get our Hanes on you” takes on new meaning when it’s applied to alleged abuser and Hanes spokesperson Charlie Sheen. Hanes has since moved on from the slogan most of us remember and it doesn’t appear in Charlies’ ad, but I can’t help chuckle inappropriately when I think of it. As a result of Sheen’s Christmas morning domestic abuse incident, Hanes has dropped the troubled TV star from its commercials. The underwear giant issued a statement about it and they don’t mince words that they’re no longer using Charlie due to the charges against him:

In the wake of Charlie Sheen’s domestic woes, underwear powerhouse Hanes immediately pulled the actor’s advertisements from on-air rotation.

“Hanes is not running the television commercials featuring Charlie Sheen, and those commercials will not run again,” company spokesman Matt Hall tells E! News. “The commercials were suspended effective Dec. 28, the first date possible after Mr. Sheen’s Christmas Day arrest.”

Fortunately for Two and a Half Men’s embattled star, we haven’t seen the last of his face rocking the casual duds—on paper, at least.

“There are a few trade advertisements featuring Mr. Sheen scheduled to run this spring. Unfortunately, the production schedule of those publications does not allow us to pull those ads.”

[From E! Online]

While Hanes may be quick to distance itself from Charlie, CBS, the network that airs his hit show Two and a Half Men, isn’t about to cut a high-paid actor who brings in the ratings. Sheen was seen back at work on Monday. A rerun of Two and a Half Men was the fourth highest rated show last week if you don’t count football.

We’ve been hearing all sorts of defamatory stories about Charlie’s wife, Brooke Mueller lately and you can bet that they’ve been leaked by Charlie’s people to make his victim look bad. Brooke is reportedly standing by Charlie and trying to make it work, but that might just be her public stance so that his people stop harassing her. Reports have come out claiming she went to rehab while pregnant, a charge she denies. We also saw her mugshot from a 2001 arrest for cocaine possession. I would guess that Charlie and Brooke aren’t reconciling and that she’s just trying to protect herself from both harassment and more of her past being drudged up. At least that’s what I hope is going on.
