Charlie Sheen's twin boys were REMOVED from the home of their mother Brooke Mueller last night -- after officials decided her house was an "unsafe environment" for children. officials from the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services arrived to Brooke's home Thursday with a warrant -- and took 4-year-old Bob and Max out of the house. the children are now in the care of Denise Richards -- the mother of Sheen's 2 young daughters. officials determined Brooke's home was unsafe because they suspected she was using drugs again -- something she's been struggling with for years -- and they believed the children were in danger. a court hearing has been set for next week -- in the hopes of finding a more permanent solution regarding where the children should live. It's unclear why Charlie was not given temporary custody of the kids -- but let's get serious, even Sheen knows they're in better hands with Denise.
Singer Lauryn Hill faces tax evasion sentencing
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill is facing sentencing Monday in New Jersey on federal tax charges. Hill pleaded guilty last year to not paying federal taxes on $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. A judge two weeks ago said Hill had paid only about $50,000 of more than $500,000 she owes. Hill said in an Internet posting that she has signed a recording contract with Sony that will help her pay her taxes. She faces up to a year in prison on each of three counts. Her attorney is seeking probation for her. The 37-year-old South Orange resident hasn't released much music since her 1998 solo debut, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which has sold more than 10 million copies and won five Grammy Awards.
'Iron Man 3' has second-best debut ever
Disney’s and Marvel’s "Iron Man 3" got the summer movie season off to an explosive start, rocketing to $175 million in its first three days, the second-best U.S. box office debut ever. That topped the $169 million rung up "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" in 2011, but wasn’t nearly enough to catch up with "The Avengers.” That Disney-Marvel superhero mash-up, which also featured Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, kicked off last summer with a staggering $207 million three-day debut. "Iron Man 3" co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley. Shane Black ("Lethal Weapon") directed the project from a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. Favreau, who directed the first two films, is an executive producer. Last week's No. 1 film, Michael Bay's "Pain & Gain," was a very distant second with $7.6 million. The Jackie Robinson movie "42" finished third in its fourth week at $6.2 million.
The top five:
"Iron Man 3," $175.3M
"Pain & Gain," $7.6M
"42," $6.2M
"Oblivion," $5.7M
"The Croods," $4.2M
