Charlie Sheen Is Getting Rehab at Home

Charlie Sheen Is Getting Rehab at Home

Charlie Sheen isn't going to rehab after all; rehab is coming to him! Following his hospitalization on Thursday after a reported partying binge, Sheen, 45, announced that he was voluntarily checking into a treatment program. Now Sheen's manager tells People that the actor isn't going to a rehab center after all, opting instead for in-home care.

"Charlie has put together a team that he trusts to help get him sober once and for all," the manager says.

That may be so, but it does mean that the same home where Sheen was allegedly chugging whole bottles of vodka and receiving king-sized cocaine deliveries is now going to be fashioned into his personal treatment center. Does anybody else feel skeptical about this? We've seen enough episodes of VH1's Celebrity Rehab to know that recovering addicts are supposed to have a support network. (And speaking of Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew Pinksy said on Monday that Sheen has "a life-threatening illness" and should take his time in recovery.)

Right now, it seems that Sheen has a support network of one: his ex-wife Denise Richards, 39, who has already paid Sheen at least two visits since Sunday. For the past year, the actress has been committed to standing by Sheen for the sake of their two young daughters, Sam, 6, and Lola, 5. She's also been vocal about Charlie's slip-ups -- but for the moment, she's staying away from the media. Celebrity news website Popeater says that Richards has already turned down dozens of requests for a tell-all interview.

"Her focus right now is on Charlie getting better and being there for her kids," a friend tells the site. "He is their father and Denise wants him healthy so that he can be a part of their life."

Richards is communicating with fans through Twitter, though. On Monday, one of her tweets read: "I think my kids will be proud how I have handled everything."

Do you think in-home rehab is a good idea for Sheen, or should he be in a real treatment facility? Chime in below!

Without Charlie Sheen, What's Next for 'Two and a Half Men'?

Without Charlie Sheen, What's Next for 'Two and a Half Men'?

Isn't it ironic? Every week, for several years now, fans of Two and a Half Men have tuned in to watch an out-of-control, unconscionable bachelor named Charlie Harper, who parties too hard and can't seem to commit to just one woman. The fact that Charlie Sheen, who plays that character, is also an out-of-control carouser/womanizer has simply given all those debauchery jokes an extra zing. That anything-goes vibe has helped make the show the highest rated prime-time sitcom on TV. Hey, it's all in good fun! Charlie Harper always lands on his feet! Party on!

But now more than ever, Sheen appears to be partying on borrowed time. After his second, drug-fueled trip to the ER in the last six months, the actor is now rehabbing at home. According to TMZ, he'll be out of pocket for the next three months, derailing the next eight episodes of Two and a Half Men.

For a time, all those gags about porn stars and inebriated behavior will have to wait… so the actor who delivers them can ween himself off of porn stars and inebriated behavior. Sheen has filmed two upcoming episodes; the first of the pair is called "Three Hookers and a Philly Cheesesteak." Sometimes, irony is just depressing.

No doubt some prominent TV execs feel that way. If the show is forced to shut down, it could jeopardize as much as $250 million in domestic syndication revenue for Warner Bros. Television and CBS, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That's not to mention the 300 crew members directly affected by the show's demise.

And if the show does manage to get back into production in three months, will it be able to survive the turmoil and make up for lost time? Won't it be a little weird to watch a newly clean and sober Sheen back on the show, and back to his drunken horn-dog ways? Will it be funny anymore, with viewers now fully enlightened about the actual consequences of this type of living?

These questions don't have ready answers. Despite its mainstream success, many TV watchers (like this one) fail to understand the popularity of Two and a Half Men -- and its caddish main character -- in the first place. Will fans of the show stick with Sheen? And if he doesn't return, would they watch the show with someone else in the lead? Only the fans know.

In the meantime, CBS isn't sitting around waiting to find out. The network has already ordered more episodes of Rules of Engagement and Mike & Molly to fill the gap left by Men. One day, we'll all know just how big that gap will be.

Charlie Sheen Is in Rehab -- and Denial!

Charlie Sheen Is in Rehab -- and Denial!

After his late-night partying landed him in the hospital (again) on Thursday, Charlie Sheen, 45, has voluntarily checked himself into rehab. So is the Two and a Half Men actor finally acknowledging that he might have a problem? We'd like to think so -- but his actions say otherwise.

Shortly after checking himself into an undisclosed rehabilitation center on Friday, Sheen sent the following text message to the editor of gossip site RadarOnline: "I'm fine. People don't seem to get it... Guy can't have a great time and do his job also? Bunch of turds."

Yes, it appears that the most popular television actor in America just called us all a "bunch of turds" for being concerned about his well-being. Is he right? Are we all overreacting? Let's look at what happened that night he went to the hospital under mysterious circumstances (for the second time in six months, we'd like to add).

Charlie's version: Sheen was entertaining some ladies in his Beverly Hills home when he laughed really hard at something on the TV, which aggravated his hernia. He experienced severe abdominal pain and checked himself into the hospital... yes, for excruciating pain brought on by overzealous laughter.

We should note that not even his reps -- the same reps who claimed that he nakedly trashed his Plaza Hotel suite because of an "allergic reaction" -- are going along with this story, which Sheen told reporters at the hospital. So far, the reps claim to know nothing of the cause.

So here's the alternate version that's been shaping up on the Internet. Charlie Sheen had been "partying" nonstop since approximately Monday. His stomach pains allegedly came several hours after the delivery of a "briefcase full of cocaine" to his home. In the hospital, he was diagnosed with severe dehydration and a low blood cell count, both of which indicate an ulcer -- which could be (but isn't necessarily) related to cocaine abuse.

One of Sheen's houseguests that night, adult film actress Kacey Jordan, told E! that Sheen was drunk when she showed up, then chugged an entire bottle of vodka in front of her in seconds, before doing cocaine for hours. He also allegedly told her that he had fake teeth because drugs had worn his actual teeth down. Not surprisingly, Jordan describes Sheen as the most self-destructive person she's ever seen.

Reports say that dad Martin Sheen has expressed concern that Charlie will end up killing himself if he continues down this path. And it seems like somebody from Sheen's team convinced him that rehab was a good idea -- perhaps so he doesn't get fired from Two and a Half Men? -- even as he was sending text messages saying he was fine. So the question is: Why does everyone think Charlie Sheen needs rehab, except for Charlie Sheen?

Doutzen Kroes posed for a sexy shoot

Doutzen Kroes

Looking ever-so-sexy, Doutzen Kroes posed for a sexy shoot for Canada's Flare magazine prior to the emergence of her burgeoning baby bump. While she's currently in the midst of her first pregnancy, the Victoria's Secret beauty donned numerous stylish ensembles including a drool-invoking leopard print bodysuit as photographers captured each and every moment. In the interview accompanying the spread, Miss Kroes talked about how she goes against the mold for models with her curvier, fuller body. She said: "I was told to lose weight in the beginning. I could be considered really skinny by some women in the country, but I think I am one of the [models] who is very close to representing a body more people can relate to. It's important that we are aware of what kind of message we are putting out. There are girls who are eight or 10 years old who are watching what they are eating! I wasn't even thinking about those things at that age. I was eating all the candy I could get my hands on!"
