So...Who Else Was in Aspen for the Holidays?
Charlie Sheen wasn't the only star who spent part of the holidays in Aspen.
Celeb couples abounded in Aspen over New Year's Eve weekend, with Heidi Klum and Seal, Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, and Ali Larter and new hubby Hayes MacArthur all celebrating the holidays with family, skiing local mountain Ajax, and dining in the town's top restaurants.
"Heidi and Seal did a lot of outdoor activities with their kids," a source told E! News. "Not only did they ski almost every day, the entire family also went hiking on the outskirts of town."
Hilton and Reinhardt, however, enjoyed a more low-key getaway.
While Hilton tweeted her way through her vacay, posting pictures of art she was buying and ski gear Reinhardt purchased for her, the couple stayed under the radar at the private Caribou Club.
"Paris brought her parents to the small club and hit the dance floor with Doug," an eyewitness told E! News. "Paris and Doug seem very happy together and the couple even posed for pictures with younger fans."
But Aspen wasn't a couples affair for everyone. Gerard Butler hit the slopes solo.

The defense calls Jennifer Aniston to the stand? If Joe Francis has his way, maybe so.
The Girls Gone Wild purveyor's legal team has revealed the crux of their defense strategy for his long-pending tax evasion trial in court documents obtained by the Smoking Gun this week: By the looks of it, Francis is hoping to be judged by the A-list company he keeps, and not much else.
In slides filed with the court as part of his opening statement, Francis is looking to align his business with stars like Aniston, Vince Vaughn, Orlando Bloom, Jack Nicholson and even a Kardashian or two, claiming the investments—or, as prosecutors refer to them, phony business expenses—he put into his various companies were all part and parcel with servicing his star clientele and business pursuits.
Or, as his defense rather succinctly put it, "Mr. Francis in Business of Sex."
