Charlie Sheen found the birth of his twins "terrifying." The "Two and a Half Men" star was worried his wife Brooke Mueller and their sons Bob and Max would die during the premature labor last month.
The 43-year-old actor told U.S. TV show "Entertainment Tonight": "She would have been in serious jeopardy had they stayed in longer. The boys were seven weeks early so things were still developing."
"Max has something called ejection fracture. It’s the volume at which the heart pumps and how much blood the heart can pump. There wasn’t anything that any other premature child, especially a twin, doesn’t normally go through. Things are gradually going toward normal."
Bob and Max have now both been released from the hospital but Brooke, 31 – who married Sheen in an intimate ceremony last May – hasn’t recovered from the upset she felt when she first saw them.
She said: "It was scary. I went to the intensive care unit to see them and words can’t express how amazing and shocking to see two human beings that came out of me. But I was scared."
"Our babies had so many tubes on them, it was frightening. I didn’t have the easiest pregnancy. I had pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and cholestasis."
Brooke says her sons are now "doing great," but is disappointed they don’t look more like her.
She joked: "They are completely Sheens. They don’t have any Mueller genes. I’m like, ‘Can I at least have an ear?!’ Bob looks identical to Charlie. Everybody at the NICU called him Charlie. And Max looks like Charlie’s dad Martin."
Charlie has three other children, daughters Sam, five, and Lola, three, with ex-wife Denise Richards and 24-year-old daughter Cassandra from another marriage.
Mike Tyson, who has a history of violence toward women, gave his expert opinion about the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation to MTV News.
Tyson said “It’s none of my business, but you know what I say about that? I understand the situation. I understand passion with young kids. My personal opinion about that is, he’s just a baby. He’s just a little baby that don’t know how to handle his emotions when it comes to a woman. And he probably hears this and thinks, ‘I know how to handle my emotions’; we all think we do. But the fact [is], you look at this person and you might be crazy in love, but we don’t know how to handle those feelings.”
He also added: “Now you’re a fly guy and a cool guy, you have this pimp mentality. You have to be hard like that. You can’t abuse them. It’s really sick what you [can] do. She has a space in your heart and you believe you care about her more than anybody in the world. Do I think it’s right to beat up a woman? No – hell no. Have I hit a woman before? Hell yeah. Was I wrong? Hell yeah. I’m a product of that environment. Do I regret ever doing that? Hell yeah. Would I do it again? Never.”
So was Tyson excusing Brown’s behavior with his immaturity.
Has Kate Moss been a naughty girl?
The supermodel has been dating current boyfriend The Kills’ guitarist Jamie Hince for two years is being accused of sleeping with Living Things star Eve Berlin last year.
According to Eve’s brother Lillian, the pair met last June on the trip to Berlin.
He revealed: “Walking in on my brother and Kate Moss with their clothes off, that was very awkward. I don’t like to look at my brother naked. Between my brother being naked and seeing Kate Moss naked with my brother, that was very awkward.”
And when asked if Kate and Jamie were an item at the time, he replied: “No comment. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.”
Well, if Jamie didn’t know. He does now!
A friend and business partner of the late Jade Goody has confirmed that a musical based on the reality TV star’s life is being created.
Danny Howard told ITN On last night that the production could be up and running in as little as four months time.
He said: “Various projects we’ve got in the pipeline is a musical we’ve got coming out in about four months time and its going to be the story of her life. We’re going to be on the search for who is going to play Jade. Obviously there is nobody else I’m sure in this world quite like Jade. Hopefully we’ll have a panel of not only creative experts but people that were close to Jade to be able to pick somebody that has to be able to dance to sing, because Jade could sing, she had a fabulous voice. And to act obviously, to play the part of Jade, and to have that kind of extra special kind of sparkle that she had.”
Earlier this month, Jade’s publicist Max Clifford revealed he had been in talks with several film companies about making a movie
based on Goody.

Congrats to the happy couple!
Hayden Panettiere has had $15,000 of jewelry stolen. She reportedly returned from a trip to Australia last week and discovered someone had entered into her Los Angeles home and stole the items.
Despite the theft, 19-year-old Hayden – who is single after recently splitting from her co-star Milo Ventimiglia – will have no problem raising the cash to buy some new accessories.
She was recently criticized after Australian fans were charged $50 to have their picture taken with her, with a further $40 if they wanted autographs.
Hayden – who was surrounded by security guards to ensure no one took any unauthorized photographs – also refused to give interviews at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Melbourne, but a spokesperson for the event insisted: "She was there for the fans, not the media."
A few days earlier, the actress reportedly ignored autograph hunters who had waited for hours in the rain to speak to her as she left a restaurant in Sydney.
Movie star Angelina Jolie and bestselling author Patricia Cornwall are teaming up for a new crime film expected to be another blockbuster.
Fox 2000 is acquiring the film rights to Cornwall’s famed protagonist, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a fictional medical examiner who appears in the scribe’s sixteen books. The studio is developing the main role as an acting vehicle for the "Changeling" star.
As per Variety, the new film, which is being planned to be developed into a franchise, won’t be tied specifically to any of the 16 Scarpetta novels. The practice is much like Universal Pictures’ Jason Bourne series. All the three "Bourne" films were not locked with the Robert Ludlum’s novels.
Mark Gordon will produce with Geyer Kosinski of Media Talent Group. Bryan Zuriff will executive produce.
Jolie is currently shooting the action thriller "Salt" for Columbia Pictures. It will be released in 2010.

As for his post-Jennifer Aniston love life, it seems Mr. Mayer has already moved on- a source told press he’s now dating 24-year-old model and aspiring actress Scheana Marie Jancan.
An insider dished that the two met at a Beverly Hills Party where Jancan was waitressing. “Scheana was shocked and thrilled when John asked her out. She has always thought he was hot, and she said yes right away, writing down her cell phone number on a napkin. They flirted the whole time, and he told her she was cute.”
