Brooke Mueller: Rehab By Day, Mom By Night!

It's not exactly conventional, but Brooke Mueller's arrangement - drug rehab during the day and taking care of her kids at night - does the job.
At least a judge felt that way when denying Charlie Sheen's bid for full custody of their children and leaving their custody agreement in place.
The custody judge ruled she's still able to take care of her twins per the deal struck with Sheen - with help from an army of nannies, of course.

The judge did make one change in the agreement. Both Brooke and Charlie must submit to random drug testing weekly, more frequently than before.
Also factoring into the decision not to award full custody to Sheen? The fact that we're talking about Charlie Sheen here. Brooke has a lot of leeway.
Judge Hank Goldberg was well aware Brooke had relapsed, but was equally disturbed by Charlie's drug abuse and the fact that he brags about it.
Goldberg also felt Charlie's parenting skills - or lack thereof - did not warrant a change. Brooke's lawyers raised issues of domestic violence, too.
From what we can tell, no new allegations were made against the actor, although you don't have to look too far back in order to find some.

Charlie Sheen Bid For Custody: Rejected!

Charlie Sheen was shot down this afternoon in his legal bid to gain custody of sons Bob and Max away from strung-out ex-wife Brooke Mueller.
A judge ordered their custody pact to remain as is.
Everything will stay the same, despite Brooke's recent issues, so the custody agreement Charlie and Brooke recently agreed on won't change.

Brooke Mueller is believed to have fallen off the wagon in a big way last week, turning up at a pawn shop and then going MIA for several days.
Because the media was thrown out of the courtroom, it's unclear why the judge was not inclined to strip Brooke of custody based on her antics.
Amazingly, Brooke and Charlie both showed up in person.
The judge wanted the media gone from the room due to sensitive "questions of abuse" in the case, but it's not clear who accused who of what.
For now, in any case, it's status quo for Brooke and Charlie. Status crazy may be more appropriate. Hopefully Bob and Max are safe ...

Denise Richards to Charlie Sheen: Let Me Help!

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen have had plenty of differences, but compared to the drama between Sheen and Brooke Mueller, the two are downright cozy.
That's why, in the wake of Brooke spiraling so out of control, Denise reached out to Charlie and offered to take informal custody of his twins, Bob and Max.
Denise called Charlie right after the shocking story broke late last week that a likely strung out Brooke hit a pawn shop to hawk a watch and a stereo.

Sheen's previous ex-wife wants to help if she can.

Denise told Charlie it was apparent Brooke (now back in rehab) is off the rails and with Charlie on tour, she offered to take the kids until things stabilized.
Charlie and Denise also have two young daughters, Sam and Lola.
As for Charlie's reaction? He's had issues with Denise, like we said, but he didn't shut her down. He thanked her and told her, "I'll keep you posted."
Charlie's lawyer is going to court in an attempt to gain full custody from Brooke, whose mother has also offered to take the kids. Stay tuned ...

Charlie Sheen Declares Legal War on Brooke Mueller, Wants Full Custody of Bob and Max

In the wake of his former wife's recent troubles, Charlie Sheen is moving to gain full custody of his two children with Brooke Mueller, Bob and Max.
He's not stopping there, either. Charlie is declaring legal war on Brooke and will not only ask a judge for full custody, but to cut off child support.
Sheen has been paying her $55,000 per MONTH to support the twin sons, who were born after the couple's 2008 wedding (they split this winter).

Charlie's lawyer, Mark Gross, just gave Brooke Mueller's attorneys notice that he's going to court tomorrow to try to change the custody arrangement.
Gross says he'll ask the judge to strip Brooke of both legal and physical custody, on grounds that Brooke has relapsed and checked back into rehab.
If the judge does give Charlie full custody, Gross wants the judge to terminate his obligation to pay Brooke $55,000 a month in child support.
After all, she would no longer be incurring those expenses. Sheen (and presumably the goddesses) would be handling the parenting. Shudder.
Brooke's lawyers are planning their own offensive, though, also asking the judge for full custody. They also Charlie to be psychologically evaluated.
That sound you hear is of it being ON. And potentially high and unstable. Imagine if Charlie Sheen is deemed the safer of two parenting options ...

Brooke Mueller Will NOT Take a Drug Test!

The troubled Brooke Mueller just refused to submit to a court-ordered drug test.
Anytime "refused" and "court-ordered" are in the same sentence? Not good.
Sources say Brooke has fallen off the wagon lately, culminating when she was spotted at a pawn shop Friday trying to hawk a watch and a stereo.
That would be sad enough, but under her custody settlement agreement with Charlie Sheen, Brooke Mueller is required to submit to drug testing.

Brooke in more sober times. Well, presumably.

A test was scheduled for 6 p.m. yesterday. The people came to her home with the test, but her lawyer, Ron Rale, told them she wasn't taking it.
It's unclear if Brooke was present at the time, or if she is still MIA. But either way, under the settlement, a refusal is considered a dirty test.
It's also unclear what Charlie and his lawyer will do now. But he's already warned her that you don't mess with a Warlock and expect to win.
The plan for Charlie, according to sources close to the situation, is to ask the court for the temporary custody of the boys if Mueller goes to rehab.
He's concerned for Brooke, but his first priority is the boys' safety. Can you imagine Charlie Sheen as the SAFER of two options? Actually possible!
Stay tuned to the second craziest celebrity news story of the weekend (the fight that got Nicolas Cage arrested takes the cake) as it unfolds ...

Brooke Mueller: Spotted at Pawn Shop, Possibly Missing, Definitely Off the Rails

Charlie Sheen has gone off the rails, but Brooke Mueller is giving him a run for his money and then some. This new story about the ex-Mrs. Sheen is amazing.

According to TMZ, Brooke walked into a pawn shop in Inglewood, Calif., yesterday morning, trying to hock an expensive men's watch and a stereo.

Real normal.

An employee at the shop, Jack Feldman, says Brooke desperately wanted cash for the items, but the store did not oblige because she lacked a valid ID.

Brooke Mueller at the Pawn Shop

In the surveillance footage from the store, Brooke Mueller nervously and anxiously paces around the store while the employees check out the items.

She certainly shouldn't need cash - she's getting $55,000 a month in child support ON TOP of the multi-million dollar divorce settlement from Charlie.

Brooke's mom is taking care of their twins. Thank goodness.

Mueller has not been reached for comment, but her mom, Moira Fiore claims there's an explanation for Brooke's bizarre behavior in the pawn shop.

Her daughter was probably selling off some stuff for a friend .... AS A FAVOR, Moira says. Likely story. Brooke's friends say that's BS - and she's MIA!

Seriously, no one knows where she is and her phone is off.

Brooke's mom is adamant that she knows where Brooke is, though when asked about Brooke's drug use, she "didn't know anything." Stay tuned ...

UPDATE: Mueller has hours to resurface. She is scheduled to take a mandatory drug test at 6 p.m., and her child custody hangs in the balance.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke each agreed to take random drug tests as a part of thecustody settlement they hammered out earlier this year.

If Brooke doesn't show, the test will be considered failed by default.

Several of Brooke's friends fear she's fallen off the wagon and she's completely disappeared. We can only hope she's alright and gets help.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Finalize Custody Arrangement

Poor little Bob and Max now know with which troubled parent they'll be spending time over the next few months.
Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller hammered out their custody agreement in Los Angeles County Superior Court yesterday, finalizing the following details regarding these twins:

• Both parents much submit to random drug testing three times/month.
• A nanny must be present at all times, no matter who has custody.
• Sheen will watch the children every other weekend for two months; then every weekend for the next two months, culminating in even more time with them if he remains drug and alcohol free.
• Neither Brooke nor Charlie can be photographed with Bob, Max... and any romantic partner. Tough break for the goddesses.
