Charlie Sheen in dramatic 'rescue of ex-wife Brooke Mueller from rehab in Mexico via private jet'

By JODY THOMPSON

Gallant act: Charlie Sheen is said to have 'rescued' ex wife Brooke Mueller, the mother of his twin sons seen here in March, and is paying for her to undergo rehab in the States

He's been there himself and reckons he knows the best way of dealing with addictions - and Charlie Sheen has staged a dramatic intervention in an attempt to help ex wife Brooke Mueller get clean.

As previously reported by MailOnline, Brooke, 33, had tried twice to leave the States to go on a controversial 'extreme' rehab in Mexico, and apparently, made it on the third attempt.

But 45-year-old Sheen was worried that the radical regime, which was to use drugs not even licenced in the U.S., could kill her - and flew in his private jet to rescue her.


Winning: Charlie Sheen, seen here in Los Angeles last month, is said to be paying for her ex wife's treatment


TMZ reports that the former Two And A Half Men star has decided he'd rather have Brooke Mueller go through the same treatments he recently underwent so he's brought her back to put her into rehab in America and he's paying.

The star apparently flew down to Mexico in a private jet, picked her up, and brought her back to the States after she'd only been south of the border for 12 hours.


Happier times: The couple in 2009 with Charlie's daughters from his marriage to Denise Richards


Sheen has brought on board a team of expert doctors and Brooke has been installed at a secret location and he's paying for the whole thing.

There has been no confirmation about the dramatic rescue mission from Mr Sheen's people to MailOnline as yet, however.

The reality TV star had been planning to head to Mexico to undergo treatment with the controversial drug Ibogaine, to stop her cravings for illegal drugs.

Anything Dad can do... Becks and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz strike a stunning pose on their surfboards as they paused for photo op in Malibu surf

By SARAH BULL

Strike a pose: David Beckham and his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz put on a show for the paparazzi in Malibu by leaning on surfboards with their hands on their hip

He usually only strikes a pose if there's a hefty number of zeros after the pound sign.

But David Beckham fooled around with his three sons in front of the paparazzi while playing in the Malibu waves.

The football ace, along with Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6, propped themselves up on their surfboards, gave their best brooding glance and perched their other hand on their hip.


Like father, like sons: The Beckham boys appear to have adopted David's sporty nature as they all hit the waves together in their wetsuits


Hiding: After posing for the photographers, David and his sons appear to be shielding themselves from the paparazzi behind their boards


Gordon Ramsay and his family, who are close friends with the Beckhams, also had a dip in the water.

The celebrity chef was spotted visiting the ever-growing brood this weekend.

However, after meeting baby Harper Seven, Gordon still managed to squeeze in some surfing with pal David, as the pair hit the waves with their families.

Smiles all round: The pair appeared in good spirits as they showed off their surfing skills in the sea


Donning a wetsuit, Gordon laughed and joked as he tried to catch the best waves with David's oldest son Brooklyn.

Despite reports Gordon has been asked by the couple to be Harper's godfather, the Beckhams' spokesperson insisted there were no plans to have their daughter christened, adding their younger son Cruz hadn't been christened either.

Also on the day out was Gordon's children, Megan, Jack, Holly and Matilda, as well as his wife Tana, who gave the surfing a miss, instead choosing to soak up the sunshine on the beach.

Meanwhile, Victoria was also absent from the beach, instead choosing to stay inside with baby Harper in the luxurious $150,000-a-month mansion the pair are renting for the summer from Steven Spielberg.


Getting tired? Beckham's boys have been photographed surfing frequently over the past few weeks


Going again: Little Cruz Beckham looked as though he coudn't get enough of the surfing action


The seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom mansion was custom-built for Spielberg and looks out on to what has been called 'the most exclusive piece of sand in the world'.

Pierce Brosnan, Dustin Hoffman, Danny DeVito and Goldie Hawn all live in the area.

A neighbour said: 'It's very peaceful and relaxing for the Beckhams. I've seen Victoria on the beach watching the dolphins with the family. She must feel like she's in heaven.'

A source close to the Beckhams, who are worth an estimated £165million, said: 'As soon as Victoria saw pictures of the house she told David it was the perfect place to relax and recover after the birth of the baby.

'David didn't think twice and signed a lease straight away.'


Scream! Brooklyn looks slightly scared as David lifts and throws him in the water



What's so funny? Earlier in the week, Beckham was pictured messing around in the water with his three sons


Since then, the footballer and his sons have been frequently seen on the beach, often with their bulldog Coco.

Earlier this week, David was spotted snapping pictures of his three boys catching the waves in Malibu - and it seems the trio are becoming keen surfers thanks to the amount of time they have been spending in the sea in recent weeks.

Victoria has yet to be seen following the birth of baby Harper on 10th July, apart from a Twitter picture of the former Spice Girls star with her beautiful little girl.

And David recently revealed baby Harper is already a fashionista in the making, with a growing collection of fashionable garments.


Clinging on: Cruz holds tight to his father as they enjoy the sunshine and the warm water


Wet and wild: David displayed his muscular physique in a black pair of swimming shorts and surf top


Speaking about the two-week old baby girl, the former England captain, 36, said: ‘Everything Victoria’s put on her so far looks amazing, she's got a great wardrobe already.

'My wife is going to definitely take care of that.’

And even though Victoria had to have a fourth caesarean, Beckham said the couple were still keen for ‘one more’ baby.

He said: ‘Are we done now or will we see any more in the future? We'd like one more.

'We've always said we'd love a big family and five was the number. If we're lucky enough, then we hope to have one more. Victoria's doing amazingly well. So we'll see.'

Pamela Anderson looks the worse for wear as she celebrates her 44th birthday... a month late

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Not slowing down: The former Baywatch star danced the night away with some male friends

Pamela Anderson has always been known as a bit of a wild one.

And she is showing that despite turning 44, she is not letting up on her partying ways and celebrated her birthday in Las Vegas last night the only way that Pam can.

The mother-of-two was surrounded by friends at Chateau nightclub inside the Paris Hotel for the revelry, despite the fact that her birthday was actually a month ago on July 1.


One for the road: Pamela sipped on champagne throughout the night and got into the Vegas spirit

Pamela slipped her her petite figure into a white mini dress and sipped on champagne throughout the night.

Her long blonde hair was tousled into a 'just got out of bed' mess.

She was surrounded by a group of men at her VIP table and looked to be having a great time.


Happy birthday to me: Pamela was presented with a three-tiered cake


During the night she got up and danced and got into the Vegas spirit and did not seem to mind that her ample assets were pouring out of the top of her dress.

She was later presented with a three-tiered pink and black cake which is unlikely she took a bite out of.

Late last week, Pamela was seen walking through Sao Paulo International Airport to catch a flight to Dallas.

Laugh it up, fuzzball: Harrison Ford reunited with Star Wars co-pilot Chewbacca... but launches attack on his old friend

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

What are you doing here? Harrison Ford launches a verbal attack on old friend and Star Wars co-star Chewbacca as he shouts at him for sleeping with his wife

Every Star Wars fan worth their salt knows only too well from C3PO's warning, that it's 'not wise' to upset a Wookie.

But clearly it's advice that Chewbacca's former co-pilot Han Solo wasn't worried about following as he launched into a verbal attack on his old friend - and for good reason.

Actor Harrison Ford, who played the Millennium Falcon's pilot, didn't look too happy to see the Wookie as they were reunited on TV last night.



What the hell? Harrison is getting his make-up done for a TV appearance when Chewie appears at the door


Despite fighting battles side-by-side against the Galactic Empire a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, their friendship came to an abrupt end once the bad guys were defeated and the cameras stopped rolling - because Chewie slept with his wife.

Ford, 69, was seen getting his hair and make-up done before a guest appearance on TV chat show Jimmy Kimmel when there's a knock at the door and Chewbacca walks in to say hello to his old friend.


You've got some nerve! Chewie growls in protest at Ford's accusations


But his appearance does not go down well with Ford who stomps over to the Wookie and launches into an angry verbal attack on his former sidekick.

He snaps: 'What are you doing here, you son of a b****? Cut the s***, you think you can walk in here and say you're sorry after what you did?'


Never come back! Ford angrily shoves the Wookie out of his dressing room


You betrayed me! Ford screams after Chewie as he berates him for sleeping with his wife

As Chewie growls his protests, Ford continues: 'I'm done with that Star Wars crap and I'm done with you. I'm in Cowboys & Aliens. Daniel Craig's my Wookie b**** now.'

He then shouts, 'Out. Get out!' as he shoves the sorry Wookie out the door.

He screams after him: 'She was my wife! She's still spitting up hairballs!'


Ford (R) and Chewie alongside Ben Kenobi (the late Sir Alec Guinness) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in Star Wars: A New Hope


Of course, before Star Wars fans clutch their chests in horror that two old friends have become enemies, it was a sketch done in jest for the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Ford was a guest on the show to promote his new movie Cowboys and Aliens and thought he would have a bit of fun while he was there.


Old friends: Ford and Peter Mayhew who played the original Chewbacca

Ford starred alongside the 'walking carpet' - who was played by Peter Mayhew - not in the sketch - in the films, from Star Wars; A New Hope in 1977 to Return of the Jedi in 1983.

They have become movie legends and the idols of many a small boy as they put the Falcon into hyperdrive and flew the galaxy at light speed.

Ford is currently starring alongside Daniel Craig in Cowboys and Aliens, a western with an extraterrestrial twist, which is released in the UK on August 17.

'Amy Winehouse bought £1,200 of crack and heroin the night before she died', claims fixer

By Daily Mail Reporter


A London drug fixer claims he helped Amy Winehouse buy £1,200 of crack cocaine and heroin the night before she died.

Tony Azzopardi, who is due to be re-interviewed by police today, alleged he helped the late singer buy the Class A narcotics in the early hours of July 23rd - the same day she was found dead in her London home.

The 56-year-old, who was introduced to the tragic star by her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, claimed he wanted her family to 'know the truth about what happened'.

Unanswered questions: Amy Winehouse on stage in Serbia a month before she died


Azzopardi told the Daily Mirror he bumped into the singer in a black cab near The Eagle pub around 11:30pm on July 22nd.

Several people had previously claimed to have seen Amy outisde the Good Mixer bar in Camden that night.

Azzopardi claims Amy asked him to help her buy some drugs and they rode together in the taxi to West Hampstead, where he made a phonecall to a local dealer.

The fixer: Tony Azzopardi claims to have smoked heroin with Amy Winehouse on Friday, the night before her death

Conflicting reports: Tony Azzopardi claims he helped the singer buy drugs in the early hours of July 23 - the same day she was found dead at her Camden, London home


A short time later, he alleges the singer handed over £1,200 for half an ounce each of crack and heroin.

He claims he last saw her when she dropped him off in Archway, North London before heading back to her Camden home.

Hours later, Amy's lifeless body was found by her bodyguard around 4pm.

Despite Azzopardi's claims, police said they found no drug paraphenalia at the singer's house.

However, the Winehouse family say Azzopardi's story does not match up with Amy's movements.

Winehouse's father Mitch told mourners at Amy's funeral last week how she had quit drinking recently after giving up drugs several years previously.

The family have confirmed they believe Amy quitting booze may have contributed to her untimely death, with her body going into shock or a seizure from alcohol withdrawal.

Mitch said Amy was happy with her boyfriend Reg Traviss and was looking forward to the future in the days leading up to her death.

It could be several weeks before the cause of Amy's death is discovered as her family await a toxicology report.

An initial post-mortem proved inconclusive.

Tim Bittlestone, of solicitors Leslie Franks, confirmed to the Mirror: 'Myself and Azzopardi attended Kentish Town police station. We will speak to them again on Monday.'

A police spokesperson refused to comment.

A spokesperson for Amy could not be reached for comment

Feeling a bit tired, Fearne? Ms Cotton looks washed out as she goes make-up free for lunch with a friend

By Daily Mail Reporter


Washed out: Fearne Cotton looked tired as she went make-up free for lunch with a friend in London over the weekend


While her fashion choices are sometimes questionable, there is one aspect of her appearance in which Fearne Cotton usually excels - her make-up.

And with her own cosmetics range for Boots under her belt, it's not hard to see why.

But over the weekend, the 29-year-old radio presenter ended up looking tired and washed-out as she went make-up free while meeting a friend for lunch in Notting Hill.

Tired: While Fearne looked cute in her summery dress, her lack of make-up detracted from her overall look


The Radio 1 DJ donned a summery floral dress and turquoise sandals as she grabbed some food with her pal.

But Fearne's chic outfit couldn't detract from the fact she had gone without any cosmetic enhancements.

Her busy week appeared to have taken its toll on the presenter, who is dating Ronnie Wood's son Jesse, as the bags under her eyes were clear to see.

That's better: Fearne managed a tight smile when she spotted photographers


And while Fearne has enviably flawless skin, the lack of make-up made her look pale and washed-out.

However, Fearne seemed unconcerned about her appearance as she met up with her friend.

She tweeted followers later in the day: 'Tea and laughter in the sunshine with my mate Eden.'

Contrast: Fearne's bare-faced look is in sharp contrast to her usual immaculate appearance


Model and musician Jesse and Fearne have been dating for a couple of months and went public at Glastonbury festival at the end of last month.

The new relationship comes just months after Fearne called off her engagement to skateboarder Jesse Jenkins.

A spokesperson for Fearne said in May: ‘Sadly their relationship came to a mutual end last month. There is no-one else involved.'

Sheer madness! Kim Kardashian shows off a little too much of her famous behind in see-through leggings

By Daily Mail Reporter


Sheer madness: Kim Kardashian revealed a little too much when her workout leggings turned sheer in the sunlight yesterday


It is undoubtedly her most famous and photographed body part.

But Kim Kardashian showed off a little too much of her derrière after a workout session in LA yesterday.

The reality star wore a pair of stretch leggings for a session at Barry's Bootcamp, but unfortunately for Kim, they turned see-through in the sunlight, exposing just a bit more than she intended.


The 30-year-old held her large Hermes handbag behind her, perhaps in an attempt to conceal the fashion faux pas.

It was Kim's second day in a row at the gym, in the lead up to her wedding on August 20.

While she went make-up free yesterday, the day before she looked more like her glamorous self after applying a bit of lipstick for a trip to the gym with Kris by her side.

Pre-wedding workout: Kim hit the gym for two days straight as she sheds weight for her big day

Fashionable: Even when she's going to the gym, Kim makes sure to put on a matching ensemble


With her wedding just three weeks away, Kim is leaving nothing to chance in her last minute bid to slim down for the big day.

The reality TV star has been hitting the gym non-stop and has even enlisted help from not one, but two, personal trainers ahead of her big day.

She has hired Jennifer Lopez's coach Gunnar Peterson and Tracy Anderson, who is famous for her work with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, to whip her into shape.

Not letting up: Kim got a bit of encouragement from fiancé Kris Humphries yesterday when he joined her at the gym


Kim has said she wants to lose 15lbs before walking down the aisle.

Anderson, who sometimes trains her client twice in one day, tells Life&Style magazine:

'We don’t want to take away Kim’s amazing curves, so we just do specific movements to tighten the skin and to pull the muscles tight against the bone.'

No joke: Kim was glad to leave the gym yesterday after her gruelling workout at Barry's Bootcamp, which is known for its high-intensity fitness classes


Peterson has her doing curls and lunges with him two to three times a week.

On top of that, Kim still plans to continue sessions at Barry’s Bootcamp, which offers high-intensity interval training classes.

Later in the day, Kim was pictured arriving at Mel B's baby shower in Beverly Hills.
Kim was seen leaving for the party alongside her sister Kourtney, with both girls toting perfectly wrapped gifts for the girly celebration.

Baby time! Later in the day Kim put her wedding workout regime aside and stepped out for Spice Girls singer Mel B's baby shower in Beverly Hills


The brunette beauty slipped her curves into a sheer zebra-print dress cinched at the waist with a thick leather belt for the occasion.

She accessorised the look with a black leather Hermes Kelly bag and a pair of her obligatory towering platforms.

Kim wore her hair slicked back in a tight pony and applied her usual smoky eye and pale lip make-up combination.

Sheer delight: The brunette beauty slipped her curves into a sheer leopard print dress cinched at the waist with a thick leather belt for the occasion


In stark contrast to her sister's monochrome look, Kourtney went for colour in patterned chiffon shorts and a peach sleeveless shirt.

The 32-year-old extended her height in beige strappy Christian Louboutin sandals.

Mel B's baby is due later this summer and will be the first child for Mel and her husband Stephen Belafonte.

Colourful: Kim's sister Kourtney went for more colour for the occasion in patterned chiffon shorts and a peach sleeveless shirt


Announcing the pregnancy earlier this year, Mel said: 'We’re really excited. We wouldn’t have planned and waited for four years to have a baby if we weren’t really excited about it and ready for it. Even though you can never really be truly ready.'

The singer also has two daughters - Phoenix Chi, 12, from her first marriage to backup dancer Jimmy Gulzar, and Angel, four, from her short-lived relationship with Eddie Murphy.

Stephen has a six-year-old daughter Giselle from a previous relationship.
