Police: Mueller Says Sheen Threatened to Kill Her
The plot sickens.
Charlie Sheen held wife Brooke Mueller down on their bed and threatened to kill her if she told anybody about his bad behavior, according to an arrest warrant affidavit released today to E! News detailing what Mueller told police after the Christmas Day incident with her husband.
Sheen became enraged when Mueller told him she wanted a divorce and would take their children away, states the report filed by responding officer Rick Magnuson of the Aspen Police Department. (Mueller talked to a female officer at the scene, who relayed her statements to Magnuson.)
When Mueller said this, Sheen straddled her on the bed and grabbed the upper part of her throat, she told police, adding that he then put a knife to her throat and said, "You better be in fear. If you tell anybody, I'll kill you."
And his alleged comments get nastier.

Source: Family Begged Sheen Not to Go to Aspen
It sounds like Charlie Sheen's family may have known something like this could happen.
According to a source, family members didn't want the sitcom star to fly to Aspen to be with wife Brooke Mueller for Christmas.
"Things have been bad for a while," the source says. "They begged Charlie not to go."
And this may not have been their first blowup in the Colorado ski town...
Roman Polanski Says Merci for the Support
From his chalet in Gstaad, Roman Polanski sends his very best.
In a letter to French author Bernard-Henri Lévi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker says he is "overwhelmed by the number of messages of support and sympathy" he has received since being locked up in Switzerland for skipping out on his sentencing for having sex with a teenage girl 31 years ago.
"These messages have come from my neighbors, from people all over Switzerland, and from beyond Switzerland—from across the world," reads the translated-into-English letter, which Lévi gave to the Huffington Post, where he's a contributor.
"I would like every one of them to know how heartening it is, when one is locked up in a cell, to hear this murmur of human voices and of solidarity in the morning mail. In the darkest moments, each of their notes has been a source of comfort and hope, and they continue to be so in my current situation."
Sounds like something the director of The Pianist and Death and the Maiden would write.
Van Morrison Gets His Mini-Van

Police Release 911 Call From Charlie Sheen's Wife: "I Thought I Was Going to Die"
Aspen Police have released the 911 call Brooke Mueller made on Christmas morning.
In the four-minute audio tape obtained by E! News, Mueller is heard describing the domestic dispute she allegedly suffered at the hands of Charlie Sheen.
"My husband had me...with a knife, and I'm scared for my life, and he threatened me," she tearfully told the 911 operator.
Mueller made the call from the kitchen of the couple's rented home, while other members of her family stayed with Sheen, whom she told the operator was trying to "sneak out the back," in a separate part of the house.
"There are other people here," she said. "My family's here, but right now if I don't file this...I need to file it now.
"I've got to file this report," she repeated. "I thought I was going to die for one hour."
When asked for the name of her husband, Mueller paused before tearfully blurting out: "It's Charlie Sheen."
Link Party: Does Lindsay Lohan Have a Boyfriend?
• It's possible Lindsay Lohan has taken a new lover: Adam Senn. He's a model who was on season one of The City. NYDN says Linds took him home to meet the fam and "Dina really likes him. She thinks he is 'good for her.'" But according to Lindsay's twitter, "I'm not dating my friend lol, people are nutso, and its not a way to start off the new year with rumors :)" Whatever. This is what Adam looks like without clothes.
• Our own Kendra Wilkinson showed off a new picture of her little Hank baby today. Yes, it's completely adorable (duh).

• TMZ has spent all day trying to figure out if this photo of John F. Kennedy on a yacht with a bunch of naked ladies is real. It's not, but it was a fun way to spend a day.
• Who wears more makeup on mundane family outings: Xtina or Gwen?
• Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr is on the cover of Teen Vogue. Eh, we know, but she does talk about her dreamy BF, Ed Westwick! "He's a really rad guy.

And I like just cuddling up on the couch."

Eric Dane & Rebecca Gayheart Are Having a Girl!
Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane's baby will be pretty in pink.
A source tells us the celeb couple is expecting a girl.
The former Noxzema girl confirmed she was pregnant with her and her McHubby's first child in November.
The two, who married five years ago, haven't said much publicly about their baby-to-be. "We've always wanted to be parents," Gayheart told In Touch. "I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I'll be a good mom. We're absolutely looking forward to it."
She is reportedly due in March.
Buzz that Gayheart had a bun in the oven couldn't have come at a better time for the couple. They ended the summer with a spate of bad press following the release of a video showing them carrying on naked with former beauty queen Kari Anne Peniche.
Who's Behind That Gosselin Break-In? Don't Look at Hailey
All Hailey is about to break loose.
For those pointing the fickle finger of guilt over the recent ransacking of Jon Gosselin's apartment toward a certain tweet-happy octodad-dating 22-year-old, know this: It wasn't just Gosselin's pad that was broken into. It was Gosselin and Hailey Glassman's.
"FYI that apartment everyone calls Jon's apartment was my apartment as well," Glassman tweeted on Friday. "We split rent!"
So why would anyone want to ransack their own home? Beats Hailey.
"She's not a suspect. She has not been arrested," her attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, told E! News, despite rampant insinuation to the contrary. "She did nothing wrong."
Nothing except remove—and that's without the use of a demolition ball—some of her personal belongings from her formerly shared home.
Kate Gosselin: Never Actually on the Deen's List?
Was Kate Gosselin fired from a job she never really had?
A recent report claimed that reality television's most famous mother of eight was given the boot from a still-in-development View-esque talk show fronted by Food Network cooking queen Paula Deen because she's "too controversial."
A source now tells me that Gosselin was never considered a serious contender to permanently join the chatfest panel consisting of Deen, former Early Show cohost Rene Syler, Lee Woodruff and comedian Judy Gold…
How Much Are Real Housewives Really Paid?
How much are the Real Housewives paid per episode? I get the feeling that they couldn't afford the lifestyle they portray if it weren't for the salary and perks provided by Bravo.

As hard up as some of the ladies appear to be—what with NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta apparently demanding more cash for electric bills, clothes and such—overall, weep not. For the Real Housewives of Anywhere.
According to my sources, there are some seriously pitiful reality show paychecks out there, but the ones given to the Housewives aren't among them.

Charlie Sheen's Wife Still Smiling After Holiday Hell
Never underestimate the therapeutic powers of a little cool air.
After a holiday that ended in a less-than-heavenly fashion, Charlie Sheen's wife was spotted out and about in Aspen, Colo., yesterday. Unlike a certain other wife's first photo, we can't see anything missing from Brooke Mueller's hands, but she did manage to bring a big smile along for the outing.
The real estate investor—who's not allowed to have any contact with her sitcom star husband courtesy of a temporary restraining order following the knife-wielding events that landed him in jail for 10 hours—was carted around the ski town in a chauffeur-driven SUV. She even made sure to wish the driver a "Happy New Year" when he dropped her off at her rented home, where her family members have been in and out, a source tells E! News.
The sunny stunner's mother is said to be hosting a cocktail party for friends in Aspen tonight. The Real Housewives of New York City's Ramona Singer and her family have made the guest list, according to the source.
Sheen is currently free on bail and due back in court in February. He's rumored to behiding out back in Los Angeles.
