A Very Merry Christmas

Not all celebrities were able to have themselves a very merry Christmas this year. While Brad and Angelina went the charitable route and Canadian cutie Justin Bieber sang for the president of the United States, Charlie Sheen found himself in jail.

While current wife Brooke Mueller believed that the notorious bad boy had finally reformed, us A Listers were waiting for another one of Sheen's antics. The father of five (including 9-month old twins, Max and Bob) was arrested early Christmas morning in Aspen, Colorado for allegedly choking his wife. Sheen was booked for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. Ridiculous, right?

It gets better. Mueller was drunk when she called the police. A breathalyzer test reveals the new mom registered at .14, over twice the legal limit.  Oh, and the call was made at 8:34 am. Classy, right?

Sheen's rep issued the following statement. "Do not be mislead by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion." Guess a publicist has finally refrained from spinning the truth.

It must have been a very merry Christmas for Sheen's ex-wife, Denise Richards. The Playboy model, and mother of two of his children, Sam and Lola, took to her Twitter page to express her joy. Richards' tweeted, "Santa really delivered this year..Thank you."

UPDATE: Radar is reporting that Sheen and Mueller are divorcing. After the incident, the actor's reps moved into damage control mode. Sources told Radar that Team Sheen pressured Mueller to recant her statement of abuse. She obviously listened, but is it because it will get her out of her prenup and into a big settlement. Keeping her mouth shut for some cold hard cash? What a great example for her sons!

UPDATE: Numerous news outlets are reporting that Sheen pulled a knife on Mueller. During the domestic dispute, the actor is said to have threatened his much better half with a knife in the living room of her rented Aspen home. Wonder if this has to do with their reported trial separation...
