What went wrong in the Sheen household?
As both Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke seek treatment for their addictions, insiders talk in the new issue of Us Weekly about the pair, who have been in the headlines since the Christmas Day incident when the Two and a Half Men actor threatened to kill his wife.

After checking out of Malibu's The Canyon rehab facility last month, Brooke Sheen, 32, is being treated at home for addictions to alcohol and drugs -- including crack cocaine, sources have confirmed to Us. Sheen, meanwhile, checked into rehab last week for "preventative measures," according to sources.
At home with Brooke? Her 12-month-old twin sons, Bob and Max. A family friend says that Brooke's relapse to drugs began shortly after the twins' birth. Born severely underweight, young Max was hospitalized for weeks. "It was a really scary situation for a new mom -- for any new mom -- and at that point she went back to her comfort zone...she resorted to the way she handled stress in the past."
Look back on Charlie Sheen's "stripper scandal"
Meanwhile, 44-year-old Charlie -- who spent time in rehab in 1998 -- has "slipped" back into drinking, a friend says. "He's been depressed, drawing the shades and watching TV by himself," the pal says. "His idea of sobriety is 'slipping' less than twice a month."
And the couple, married for about two years, "stir up each other's worst demons," a friend says. They break out in fights over something small or some little paranoia."

"One time, Brooke threw a Kleenex box at him because he looked at her the wrong way," a source recalls. "He went crazy and threw an expensive plate. It was nuts!"

56thanks for nice post....pics are nice...keep posting stuff like this... http://joliesetanreview.net/
That's what happens when white trash marries white trash. Lots of new moms are scared; they don't all turn into crackheads.
what the hell, charlie and brooke should like have there kids removed from them. instead of getting cracked out and drunk they need parenting classes.
!? wow
Also, if Donny and Marie are under contract with the hotel it is no different that any other job...where I work you get 3 unpaid days off for a death in the family..if you do not return at the end of 3 days you are fired unless you have vacation time that you can take...some people need to find the facts before they judge...
In reference to WOW...why bring the Osmonds into a trashy situation like this....one tragedy is nothing like the other one...
Did she do drugs while she was pregnant as well? Not trying to be mean here but if she started using drugs shortly after the boys were born, it stands to reason she was doign them before they were born. She and Charlie really need to get help before someone really gets hurt or worse-killed. CPS or someone in the family need to step in and take the kids out of the home until they each have completed rehab and anger management.
Anyone who dares to get involved with Charlie Sheen must have been on drugs. No surprise here! I really dislike her now. I feel bad for what Charlie did to Brooke but I think they should have their children taken away after hearing this. All the money in the world and this is what they do? I can't stand when I see people like them take life for granted. Sickening! Disgusting! Shame on these two!
Who's bright idea was it to put Charlie Sheen on TV? He looks like an old foot! Those poor children should be taken away a.s.a.p!!!!!!!!!!!! If they were any tom, dick or harry those kids would have been taken away months ago.
Sheen's pr team needs to stop focusing on Brooke. This is not going to help their client. Sheen has done his own damage and needs to deal with it.
child services needs to step in @ both the osmond household and the sheen's
TAKE THOSE CHILDREN AWAY IMMEDIATELY!!!!! THIS S.K.A.N.K. IS A DRUGGIE ON CRACK. IF SHE DIDN'T PUT HER KIDS BEFORE THE DRUGS AFTER THEY WERE BORN, SHE NEVER WILL. AND CHARLIE IS AN ALCOHOLIC WITH A RAGING TEMPER. THOSE BABIES NEED TO BE SAFE AND THAT IS NOT WITH THESE TWO. SOMEONE HAS GOT TO HELP THOSE POOR LITTLE BABIES.
child services should really take these kids
Olympic hero Joannie Rochette says goodbye during funeral for her mother Module body Thu Mar 4, 5:28 PM By The Canadian Press ADVERTISEMENT BERTHIERVILLE, Que. - An Olympic hero placed a medal on her mother's casket and bid farewell Thursday to the woman she called her best friend. Joannie Rochette momentarily placed her figure-skating bronze on the coffin during the funeral for Therese Rochette. The woman who melted hearts around the world by delivering the medal-winning performance in Vancouver last week amid her grief struggled through the painful final step of saying goodbye to her mom. Rochette's voice quivered and her eyes filled with tears as she paused several times to keep her composure while delivering a eulogy. She chose to focus the speech on the positive things her mom accomplished in life, rather than the pain caused by her sudden death. "I'm happy today because we're celebrating the life of my mother Therese - a short life but an intense one," Rochette said. "She taught me how to be brave. . . She was always there for me." Hundreds of people packed the small-town church in Berthierville, Que., to pay their final respects to Rochette, who died of a massive heart attack at age 55. She died in Vancouver about two weeks ago shortly after arriving to watch her daughter compete at the Winter Olympics. Joannie Rochette, 24, competed in the skating short program just three days after the death and then clinched the bronze medal two nights later. She was chosen to carry the Canadian flag at the Olympics' closing ceremonies. Rochette has said she drew inspiration from many people around the world who rallied around her during a trying time. Clad in black on Thursday, she sat next to her father and her boyfriend, tilting her head downward several times while fighting back tears. After the ceremony, Rochette followed the coffin out the door and wore dark sunglasses.
84. She makes me sick ! I never did like her and now I hate her. Her son was probally seeking her attention before his death and after his death he still does not get it . She is a selfish old lady that cares about money more than her kids PERIOD !Yeah I know she needs to support her family but come on this isn't "cathartic" this is sick and very unusual. Even if she doesn't give a rats tail about her son maybe her other children did .Maybe she should be there for them !! What a piece of crap ! Donnie too !!! Posted at 4:26PM on Mar 4th 2010 by karen
Could she be more selfish! Yes, motherhood is hard but most people can handle it without doing drugs. Brooke sweetie, you've got to put your kids first.
probably severely underweight because she was on D&A during the pregnancy. What a dope! Literally! I really worry for these kids. I hope CPS is watc hing this....crack addicts can hole up for days in their house smoking without anyone knowing, don't ya think?
Why are the boys in the house with her while she's "recovering?" If she started doing drgus after the boys were born, she could start doing it again. Sounds to me like both Charlie and Brooke both have some growing up to do and in the mean time the boys should stay with a family member until that happens. Otherwise one or both of them could end up hurting the children because they can't "handle the stress" and get high or drunk.
I hope she wasnt breastfeeding the other twin while she was doing drugs. Sadly , she probably doesnt even remember what she did during that time either..
According to this picture, Jake and Vienna are Sheen's twins. Now I understand why they are so immature!
