Denise Richards Has Cared for Brooke Mueller’s Twins for a Year
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Denise Richards has been raising Brooke Mueller's kids for over a year.
The 42-year-old actress was granted temporary legal guardian for her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and Brooke's twin sons, Bob and Max, when child protective services removed them from the socialite's home last month. However, it has now emerged Denise - who has two daughters, Lola, eight, and Sam, nine, with Charlie - has actually spent far more time with the four-year-old boys than Brooke herself over the last nine months, due to her struggles with drug addiction.
"'Initially, Brooke willingly placed the boys in Denise's care because she was going in and out of rehab, and using drugs. Child protective services has now asked Denise to give specific dates that she had been taking care of the twins, in advance of a big custody hearing in July. The boys have spent more time with Denise than with their own biological mother for the last nine months. The boys are a part of Denise's family, and they are extremely happy in her care," a source said.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Drunk, Features,
Matthew Perry hates seeing pictures of himself from when he was addicted to pills and alcohol.
The 43-year-old actor battled addictions to booze, Vicodin, methadone and amphetamines during his 10 year stint on the sitcom Friends and Matthew admitted seeing photographs of himself when he was painfully thin in 2001 terrifies him. "I honestly recoil. It's scary to look at that. I was a sick guy," he said.
Matthew also revealed he feared for his life at certain points during his ordeal, and credits addiction specialist Earl Hightower with helping him to get clean: "This guy has saved my life, literally 15, 16 times. The treatment is all-encompassing."
Now the Go On actor is determined to help others avoid the same mistakes he made and has opened a sober living house to help men transition from rehab into the real world. "The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you,'" he explained.

Lindsay Lohan's father wants her to be transferred to a rehab facility in Florida.
Michael Lohan thinks the 26-year-old Scary Movie V actress - who is more than three weeks into her 90-days of court-ordered treatment - is wasting her time at the Betty Ford clinic in Rancho Mirage, California, because she has already completed the same 12-step program twice before and it failed.
He told gossip website TMZ.com after touching down at Los Angeles International Airport from New York on Saturday, "I want to take care of some things with the court and get her transferred. She's at Betty Ford, I think it's only going to be temporary with regard to recovery, but if she goes to the Lukens Institute, where I want her to go, it's going to be permanent and I'll stake everything on it. I know she'll get better if she goes there."

Amanda Bynes has been released from police custody.
The She's The Man star appeared in court in New York City on Friday morning, where she was formally charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession. The troubled starlet was booked for drug possession on Thursday evening when police visited her apartment after receiving a report of a disorderly person.
During the hearing, the 27-year-old actress denied throwing a bong out the window in front of arresting officers, and also accused them of "roughing her up." She claimed she was "improperly arrested" because the object she threw was "just a vase," according to gossip website TMZ.com. An arresting officer is quoted as saying in the criminal complaint, "I observed [Amanda] grab said bong, run to the westbound-facing window, and throw it out the window where numerous pedestrians were walking on the 8 Avenue and West 47 Street sidewalks below."
The judge waived bail but warned the actress that an arrest warrant would be issued if she misses her court date in July.
