Charlie Sheen Loses Custody of Twins

Charlie Sheen has been attracting a lot of attention lately – including from the cops.

LAPD officials confirmed a Thursday night visit to his home in a Beverly Hills gated community. "LAPD detectives responded to Charlie Sheen's home this evening to investigate a possible violation of a temporary restraining order," LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman tells PEOPLE.

"It came to the attention of the LAPD that Sheen is the registered owner of firearms," the LAPD said in a statement late Thursday night, and conducted their investigation at Sheen's home "to determine if he is in possession of firearms and ammunition in violation of the [restraining order]."

Police visited Sheen last week to remove his twin boys from his custody after his estranged wife Brooke Mueller obtained a restraining order.

Earlier Thursday, the former couple reached a private custody agreement, but per standard temporary restraining orders, "the restrained person cannot possess, have, buy or try to buy, receive or try to receive, or in any other way get guns, other firearms or ammunition."

With police still at the home, goddess Natalie Kenly downplayed the events to PEOPLE, saying, "Everything is fine. Nothing to worry about."

Arnold Schwarzenegger Divorced?

Arnold Schwarzenegger's humiliated wife Maria Shriver could be set to terminate her marriage with her love-rat husband after hiring a top celebrity divorce lawyer, according to U.S. reports.
Shriver, 55, has reportedly hired California-based family lawyer Laura Wasser whose previous clients include Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Kiefer Sutherland, and Britney Spears to represent her following her split from husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, 63, amid his love-child scandal.
"Maria hasn't decided yet if she wants to end her marriage," a source close to Shriver told U.S. publication People.

Wasser was hired before the news of the affair went public, the source added. Shriver is separated from the former governor who has admitted to fathering a child with another woman, reportedly a longtime housekeeper.

The alleged mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's lovechild was yesterday named by a U.S. website as Mildred 'Patty' Baena.

Baena, 50, reportedly fell pregnant while she was working for the former California Governor and his wife Maria Schriver.

Baene is understood to have worked as a housekeeper for Schwarzenegger up until January.

The former California governor admitted in a statement earlier this week that his split from Maria Shriver was partly due to him fathering a child with a member of his household staff.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the employee worked for the family for 20 years and gave birth to the actor's child over a decade ago.

The article also notes that Maria moved out of the family's Brentwood home earlier this year, after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the paternity.

It is believed to be with his former housekeeper Mildred Baena
Arnold said in a statement to the publication: 'After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago.

'I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologised to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

'I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not.'

A spokesman for Shriver, 55, who was married to Arnold for 25 years, said: 'This is a painful and heartbreaking time.

'As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment.'

Two of their four children posted on Twitter, expressing their love for their family.

'Some days you feel like s***, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit,' tweeted 17-year-old Patrick Schwarzenegger.
'Yet I love my family till death do us apart.'

His 21-year-old sister, Katherine Schwarzenegger, followed later in the day.

'This is definitely not easy but I appreciate your love and support as i begin to heal and move forward in life,' she said. 'I will always love my family!'

Kids and Divorce

http://talk2inspire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Parents-Fighting.jpg
Do you know someone whose parents are divorced? Are your parents separated or divorced? Chances are that you can answer yes to one — or maybe both — of those questions. And you are not alone! About 1 out of every 2 or 3 marriages ends in divorce.
A divorce happens after a husband and wife decide not to live together anymore and that they no longer want to be married to each other. They agree to sign legal papers that make them each single again and allow them to marry other people if they want to.

Divorce Is Hard for Everyone

It might sound simple, but it's not easy for a husband and wife to decide to end a marriage. Often they spend a long time trying to solve problems before deciding to divorce. But sometimes they just can't fix the problems and decide that a divorce is the best solution. Change is a natural part of life, but when it happens to your family, it is sometimes really hard to deal with.
Sometimes both parents want to divorce, and sometimes one wants to and the other one doesn't. Usually, both parents are disappointed that their marriage can't last, even if one wants a divorce — and to live apart — more than the other.
Sometimes it hurts kids' feelings when one parent wants to leave the house where they live. It is hard not to take it personally. It's important to remember that divorce happens between the husband and wife, and even though it affects the whole family, it doesn't mean that a parent who leaves the house doesn't care about the kids.

Many kids don't want their parents to divorce. Some kids have mixed feelings about it, especially if they know their parents weren't happy together. Some kids may even feel relieved when parents divorce, especially if there's been a lot of fighting between parents during the marriage.
It's important to remember that divorce doesn't change one important fact: A dad or mom who lives somewhere else is still your dad or mom. That's forever. That will never change.

Kids Don't Cause Divorce!

People divorce for lots of different reasons. Usually, parents divorce when they have too many problems and they just can't seem to fix them, no matter how hard they try. Sometimes anger builds and parents fight a lot or say mean things to each other. Sometimes they stop talking to each other because they're mad at each other, and sometimes they meet someone else that they fall in love with and want to live with.
Adults have their own reasons for divorce. Whatever the reasons are, one thing is for sure: Kids don't cause divorce.
Still, many kids believe they're the reason their mom and dad got divorced. They think that if only they had behaved better, gotten better grades, or helped more around the house, the divorce wouldn't have happened. But this isn't true. Divorce is between moms and dads only!
Even if you once heard your parents argue about you, or your friend next door thinks his parents broke up because he got in trouble at school, these things don't cause a husband and wife to end their marriage.
You might feel you're to blame for your parents' divorce, but you are not the cause. And the fact that your parents decide not to stay married is not your fault.

Kids Can't Fix Divorce!

Just like the divorce is not a kid's fault, getting parents back together is not up to the kid, either. And most likely, this doesn't happen, although plenty of kids wish for it and even try things they think might work. Acting like an angel at home all the time (who can do that?) and doing really well at school may make your mom and dad happy, but it doesn't mean they'll get back together.
The opposite is also true. Getting in trouble so your mom and dad will have to get together to talk about these problems is not going to make the divorce go away either. So, just be yourself and try to talk through the feelings you have with a parent, another family member, friend, or teacher or counselor.
