11 months ago
Stop us if you’ve heard this one.
Charlie Sheen has been on a booze-and-drug-fueled bender since he wrapped Anger Management last month, a source close to the warlock said.
The 46-year-old is again partying with “a gaggle of adult film stars” – and for a time, ex-wife Brooke Mueller – at his Mulholland Estates mansion.
Mueller is back in rehab. So out-of-control is Charlie now that some of his closest confidantes have begged him to join her there to treat his addictions.
Not surprisingly, he dismisses that idea.
“Yes, Charlie is partying,” a source says. “He doesn’t want to stop. In his
