Brooke Mueller leaving the Byron and Tracey salon in Beverly Hills (4/4/2009)

Remember last February when Charlie Sheen's wife Brooke Mueller was hospitalized due to complications with her pregnancy? Well it turns out complications are a pretty common thing during a pregnancy . . . . ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DRINK TOO MUCH. From RadarOnline:

Charlie Sheen’s wife went to rehab for alcohol abuse while she was pregnant with the couple’s twins, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

The blockbuster revelation adds more controversy to the already volatile situation surrounding the Sheen marriage. Charlie spent Christmas in a Colorado jail after being arrested on domestic violence charges.

Now RadarOnline.com has uncovered that Mueller went to alcohol rehab when she was approximately five months pregnant. Sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that she was confronted after bottles of booze were found in her car.

When one of the couple’s twins was born with a heart problem, the couple argued bitterly and Charlie told Brooke the medical problem was her fault for boozing while pregnant, RadarOnline.com has learned.

And she seemed like such a nice woman, too. I guess the old saying is true -- everyone has skeletons in their closet. In Charlie's case, I think he literally might have a hooker's skeleton chained up in his closet. "Oops, forgot about her. I was wondering where she went . . ."
