Brooke Mueller

Earlier this week, multiple sources reported that Brooke Mueller was ordered by doctors to rest and relax in order to fight off a recent infection.

We wonder if they have masseuses and spa treatments in rehab.

According to Entertainment Tonight, that's where Charlie Sheen's troubled wife is headed, as insiders say she has entered a drug and alcohol center in North Carolina.

Mueller was arrested on a DUI charge in 1996 and for cocaine possession in 2001. She was released from the hospital on Monday, where she was being treated for pneumonia.

Legally, Brooke is still barred from communicating with Sheen. A judge will rule on a protective order against the actor next month. Until then, it sounds like Mueller is doing her best to clean up her act and become the best mother she can be to young twins Sam and Max.

We wish her the best of luck with that goal.

** UPDATE: Mueller's attorney, Yale Galanter, says his client is NOT in rehab. He says she's at a facility that helps patients recover from serious illnesses, such as pneumonia.

Still recovering from pneumonia, Brooke Mueller has been ordered to undergo stress reduction and psychological therapy sessions.

"The doctors told Brooke on Sunday that if she wants to get better she has to reduce stress and get a lot of R&R in the coming weeks," an insider told People. "Her mom is checking out spas around the country now."

Sounds like the best prescription we've ever heard of.

Mueller has pneumonia in both lungs, which makes it difficult for her to breathe. She's still stuck in the intensive care unit of a Los Angles hospital, where she's been receiving a dose of strong antibiotics for close to a week.

The doctors treating Brooke blame her slow recovery on the enormous stress in her life, a lot of which is a result of the Christmas Eve incident where she was allegedly beaten and threatened by Charlie Sheen.

"The doctors basically said Brooke is not going to get better without taking her health in her own hands and reducing the stress surrounding her life," said the source. "She has to do it now."

On February 8, Mueller and Sheen are due in court to see if a judge will lift an order of protection against the actor.

Just how much does Joe Fiore support stepdaughter Brooke Mueller? So much that he's willing to tell the world about her problems in exchange (we presume) for wads of cash.

Fiore, who married Mueller's mother six years ago, spoke to Radar Online this week about the Christmas Eve altercation between Brooke and Charlie Sheen. He stands by most accounts of what happened:

"That incident in Aspen was a scary thing," Fiore said. "It does not happen a lot, but it was true, she was definitely attacked, that is not made up, there was no reason for any of that to be made up... Everything was just like it was in the police report."

Despite acknowledging the alleged threats Sheen made toward Mueller, Fiore said he fully supports his son-in-law. Referring to this weekend's SAG Awards, he said:

"I hope he wins, not because he's my son-in-law, but because I think he's great and all the same people win and Charlie should have won a long time ago [for Two and A Half Men]."

Concluding this relatively pointless interview, Fiore confirmed Brooke and Charlie's children are safe and spoke on the couple's possible future together:

"It really is up to [them]; you can't get in their head. I would like to see what ever they want. If they're both in love with each other and positive and they want to work it out that's great. We support them."

For now, Mueller has other things to worry about: she's recovering from an infection and a bout of pneumonia, following wisdom tooth surgery this week. We wish her well.

Brooke Mueller is really sick.

Hospitalized earlier this week following emergency wisdom tooth surgery, Charlie Sheen's wife remains in intensive care. Said Brooke's mother to E! News:

"It became infected.  The infection spread and now she has pneumonia in both lungs."

A court hearing scheduled for yesterday, where a judge would rule on Mueller and Sheen's request that a restraining order on the actor be lifted, has been pushed back to Friday. But Brooke's lawyer says his client is "not doing great."

"Brooke is still in the hospital," Yale Galanter said. "We thought there was a possibility she was going to be released today, but she's not because she has developed pneumonia in her lungs."

The attorney has filed a motion to move the aforementioned court date to February 8.

A Colorado judge, meanwhile, has granted Sheen access to his wife in the hospital. He's already been in to visit her. For Brooke's sake, let's hope he didn't bring any Two and a Half Men DVDs along for entertainment.

** UPDATE: Mueller has reportedly left the ICU and will likely be present at the hearing tomorrow.

Things continue to spiral downward for Brooke Mueller.

Less than a month after her Christmas Eve incident with husband Charlie Sheen, Mueller has been placed in intensive care at a Los Angeles hospital. Reports indicate her fever rose as high as 105, following oral surgery earlier this week.

Said her lawyer, Yale Galanter:

"Brooke is in the hospital ICU related to the surgery for her impacted wisdom tooth. They are trying to get the infection and fever under control. The infection has spread."

Mueller is being treated with antibiotics.

A court hearing on her and Sheen's request to modify his protective order was originally set for today and then pushed back to Friday.

This isn't Sheen's fault, of course, but his influence on Brooke is clearly negative. The same can be said for his influence on network television, as Two and a Half Men has lowered the bar for unfunny sitcoms. It's really, really stupid.

While Brooke Mueller deals with the fallout from her alleged domestic dispute with Charlie Sheen two weeks ago, a friend claims this is far from the first problem she's encountered over the last few years.

A source tells Radar Online that Mueller received in-patient treatment in the early 2000s for an addiction to crack.

She would reportedly "disappear for a couple days" at times and head to Beit T'Shuvah in Los Angeles. This recovery center focuses on Jewish spirituality and therapy, specializing in both in-patient and out-patient care.

"She had a serious problem," the insider says.

This report doesn't come as too much of a shock. It's been revealed that Mueller has two arrests on her record; one for DUI and a second for cocaine possession in 2001.

Various stories have alleged that she and Sheen were drinking heavily on the night of their argument, with Mueller registering a .13 blood-alcohol level. That's higher than Pete Doherty likely is right now.

Brooke's lawyer says his client wants to move on from this "bad night," however, and reconcile with the actor. We just hope she has the best interests of her young children in mind.

While some might see difficult days ahead for Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen's children, following an alleged incident of domestic violent between the couple on Christmas Eve, at least one tabloid sees something wholly different:

Dollar signs.

The latest issue of Star magazine claims to expose the secrets within this "twisted marriage." Among them:

• The pair has engaged in a pair of threesomes with two different A-list stars from Hollywood;
• The Two and a Half Men actor returned to Los Angeles in late 2009 - and immediately ordered a call girl to come over.

As a result of these allegations, an anonymous family friend is concerned over Bob and Max, Mueller and Sheen's twin sons.

“They are caught in the middle. Charlie and Brooke are behaving like monsters — and the children may end up bearing the brunt of it!”

Meanwhile, a source supposedly told The National Enquirer that Charlie and Brooke snorted cocaine until "the morning hours" when their fight began.

Whatever. These claims are all likely false. We just care about the well-being of the couple's children... and about how Jenni Farley supposedly went from a "Tubby Tween To... WOWW!"

A man that has never met Brooke Mueller, and who hasn't spoken to Charlie Sheen in two months has gone on record reagarding the alleged domestic dispute between this couple.

Don't you love when random family members exploit their relatives in exchange for a few moments in the spotlight?

Such is clearly the case with Joe Estevez, Charlie's uncle, who told E! News: "It's a sad situation on everybody's part. Everybody wishes it didn't happen. Hopefully everyone can move on positively."

It would have been fine if the guy stopped there... but he kept going. Without having ever met Mueller, Estevez added:

"There's just as much chance of her being a drama queen as of what she's saying being true...  Let's give the couple the benefit of the doubt. I think it's much ado about nothing."

A police office on the scene, in a sworn affidavit, disagrees.

Estevez (Martin Sheen's brother) went on to point out how well his nephew is taking the charges and allegations.

"He's not crying to anyone; he's sucking it up. I understand he's back at work today. First day back...doing his job, not complaining, not crying to the press. He's just being a man about it."

So, to sum up: Brooke Mueller may be a drama queen, and Sheen is an admirable "man" because he's following advice from his lawyers, remaining silent and not breaking his Two and a Half Men contract.

Makes perfect sense to us... NOT!

Despite possibly being held down at knife-point by her husband, Brooke Mueller reportedly wants to reconcile with Charlie Sheen.

Her lawyer refers to the alleged, troubled incident as a "bad night."

When asked about her daughter's desire to continue a relationship with a man that may have attacked her, Moira Fiore told E! News: "I have mixed feelings about it."

We bet she does. Fiore added that Mueller "won't listen" to any advice from her mother, which causes one to wonder if she's truly in love with Sheen or scared for her life. It may be a combination of both.

Hold on to those handcuffs, Brooke. You may need them if you stay married to Charlie Sheen.

Mueller is still in Aspen with her two children, nine-month old twins Bob and Max.

Meanwhile, the Colorado police have wrapped up their investigation into what transpired on Christmas Eve and have turned all evidence over to the district attorney's office. We're asking readers:

Do you think Mueller should divorce Sheen?

The children of Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are just like Rush Limbaugh.

No, they aren't overweight, over-exposed, racist and full of crap. Instead, they are doing okay.

The Pitkin County Department of Social Services interviewed Mueller, the kids, many nannies and others and determined that the offspring of this troubled couple has not been negatively affected by their dangerous antics. Thank goodness.

As for the cops: Aspen police completed their investigation into the happenings early Christmas morning and have officially passed the case on to the Pitkin County District Attorney's Office.

"There is no new information to release at this time," said Aspen Police Department spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro. "The case is in judicial proceeding, so any new information will either come from the district attorney's office or the Pitkin County courts."

Sheen is scheduled to be in court on February 8 to face charges.
