For the life of me, I cannot understand celebrities and their personal lives. Charlie Sheen is the highest paid tv actor in the US. You would think he had "the world on a platter". Don't know who was to blame, him or his wife, but as the parents of twin baby boys, you would think they would try to create a normal life for themselves and their children. I know he had many problems with his former wife, Denise Richards.

What drives these celebrities (for example Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen) to put their careers in jeopardy? Once again it goes to show, money doesn't buy happiness.

Rehab for Charlie Sheen and wife after drunken party fight

CHARLIE Sheen and his wife are expected to enter rehab, after their drunken Christmas Day brawl, as the star is accused of using a weapon.

While his wife has reportedly told police she lied about the actor choking her during their violent exchange, the couple is said to be committed to counseling and saving their marriage.

The Two And A Half Men star spent eight hours in a cell for allegedly grabbing Brooke Mueller by the throat, a claim she made in an emergency call but later withdrew.

Sheen told police he was trying to defend himself when the violent incident occurred in Aspen, Colorado, where the couple had been holidaying with their twin sons.

Police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro did not provide details on what kind of weapon Sheen is accused of using. Sheen also was arrested on investigation of second-degree assault, a felony, and criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.

Sheen has not been charged and was released Friday after posting an $8,500 bond. Prosecutors will determine whether to file charges.

Sheen, 44, the highest-paid star on US television, was charged with assault, menacing and criminal mischief but was bailed and released.

Police breath-tested both Sheen and his wife when they arrived on the scene, at 8.40am local time, with Sheen reportedly blowing .04 and Mueller .13.

Sheen's publicist released a statement soon after which read: "Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day."

Despite his wife's change of heart, prosecutors have said they still intend to proceed with charges against Sheen, although later reports suggest Mueller may instead face charges of making false accusations.

"It is not uncommon where a victim in the throes of an event says some things and thereafter the story seems to change," chief deputy district attorney Arnold Mordkin said.

Mr Mordkin is planning to file charges against Sheen during his next court date on February 8, with Mueller's fate undecided.

"I often file against someone who falsely accuses someone," he said.

Friends have told People magazine the couple, who both have histories of alcohol abuse, had earlier been at a dinner party and "were drinking and neither was supposed to be". The couple had begun fighting at the dinner party before returning to their home where the fight continued.

Sheen has now returned to their home in Los Angeles, while Mueller, 32, remained in Aspen.

"Brooke loves to snowboard and wants to be in Aspen now," a source told the magazine.

"After this unfortunate event, they need to be apart."

The couple married two years ago, with their sons Bob and Max born in March this year.

Sources close to the couple say the marriage had been troubled for some time, with Mueller "bored" with staying home with the Hollywood star.

Sponsors are probably going to start making them sign behavioral contracts.

That's a good point. I am amazed at how people get all worked up over celebrities' personal lives. They aren't personal friends. But then again, we all feel empathy toward others who are caught in some natural disaster, plane crash... I guess that's just human.
