Charlie Sheen Taking Leave of Absence for Rehab

Charlie Sheen‘s problems have followed him into the new year.

It was announced today that the actor will be taking a break from his hit CBS comedy to do a stint in rehab. This move comes not long after his wife, Brooke Mueller, entered a different location for substance abuse.

“As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility,” Sheen’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, said in a statement. “He will take some time off his series Two and a Half Men. He has asked that his privacy be honored.  No further statements are planned.”

While it’s unclear specifically why Sheen is seeking treatment, he was the center of some domestic drama on Christmas Day. The 44-year-old has since been charged with two misdemeanors and felony menacing stemming from his fight with Mueller.

It’s not known how Charlie’s stay will affect production on his program.

Katherine Heigl Taking Break from Grey’s Anatomy

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip, Spoilers,

As we all know by know, T.R. Knight will not survive to see another season of Grey’s Anatomy while Katherine Heigl will. But that doesn’t mean the Ugly Truth actress won’t get a nice break from her awful 17-hour work days.

Although she was forced to stick by her contract (we all know she so wants to leave), Heigl is being granted a 5-episode leave from the series. Why? Because she needs to continue working on her big screen career. During her absence, Katherine will be busy filming Life as We Know It with Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas).

Heigl’s (temporary) departure will be explained on the show. You can see a promo for the upcoming season after the jump.
