Today in Sheen: Honorary Strip Club Room, Brooke Mueller Back in Rehab, Goddess Leaves
Charlie Sheen has had a busy few days.
First, a strip club in New York debuted their Charlie-Sheen-themed VIP room. The Cheetah Club now has a private area bedecked with photos of our favorite philanderer, and for the small price of $2,000 an hour, anyone who wants to can buy a bottle of Dom Perignon and the services of two strippers (get it?).
Then, it was announced that goddess Bree Olson had LEFT THE TOUR -- until it was later revealed that she was just headed to court in Indiana for DUI-related charges, and would be back as soon as she could.
Finally, Sheen's baby mama and estranged wife Brooke Mueller is back in rehab, reports KTLA. Mueller has a known history of abusing drugs and alcohol. Her mother is looking after her and Sheen's twin boys, Max and Bob.
