Charlie Sheen’s publicist says the actor has entered rehab and is taking a break from the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men.”
Publicist Stan Rosenfield wrote in a statement Tuesday that Sheen has voluntarily entered rehab for an unspecified reason and is seeking privacy.
“As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility,” the publicist wrote in a four-sentence statement that did not specify why Sheen, 44, was seeking treatment. The statement sought privacy for the embattled actor.
Sheen’s bosses expressed support for the actor in a statement that said production of “Two and a Half Men” would temporarily stop.
“CBS, Warner Bros. Television and (Executive Producer) Chuck Lorre support Charlie Sheen in his decision today to begin voluntary inpatient care at a treatment center,” the statement said. “We wish him nothing but the best as he deals with this personal matter.”
The statement offered no timetable for when the show would resume taping.
TMZ reports Sheen’s wife, Brooke Mueller, currently has the couple’s two children at the rehab facility she is at.
Mueller’s facility allows children to say with patients, according to TMZ.
Sheen entering rehab comes roughly two months after his arrest in Colorado after being accused of holding a knife to his wife’s throat and threatening to kill her. Sheen faces a felony domestic violence charge in the case.

If you thought MTV’s new “it girl,” Jershey Shore’sJenni “JWOWW” Farley, was all boys, boozin’ and bikinis, think again. The Long Island native spent some time this week kicking off another cause very close to her heart: a new music and dance program for children with autism and other disabilities, initiated by Family Residences and Essential Enterprises (FREE).
“It was so amazing watching hundreds of children singing, dancing, drawing, cooking, children that had autism five years ago and were so irritable that they couldn’t touch someone, and now they’re all holding hands and smiling,”she said. “Art to me is one of my number one passions, so it was an amazing experience to watch them sing and re-enact Broadways plays.”

According to numerous reports, Jennifer Lopez has parted ways with her label, Epic Records, shelving the release of her next album “Love?” and could be a long wait for Lopez fans to hear it!
Early reports say Lopez was dropped due to what some are calling a failed single (“Louboutins”), but Lopez’s management claims the split was amicable.
“Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music Group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction of her career as an actress and recording artist,” says Lopez’s manager, Benny Medina. “She is grateful and appreciative to everyone at Sony for all that they accomplished together.”
But others say that Sony Epic CEO Rob Stringer dropped Lopez because her single “Louboutins” wasn’t well received and her now infamous performance at the American Music Awards was literally a flop. There’s also been grumblings that the label was struggling to determine who J. Lo’s audience is these days, with younger pop stars like Lady Gaga and Beyonce dominating the airwaves and the fans.
Lopez is rumored to be in talks with other labels and the fate of “Love?” is unknown.
Deadline.com has confirmed that Lopez’s greatest hits package, originally reported to be on its way in early 2009, is now slated for a fall release in 2010.
Update: Jennifer Lopez is reportedly already in talks with famed music executive L.A. Reid to sign with Island Def Jam and she has a string of high profile television appearances lined up, starting with a double-duty job both hosting this weekend’s Saturday Night Live as well as serving as the musical guest.

Puerto Rican pop singer Ana Isabelle began recording her album, about the same time she was about to reach the finals of the highly rated Univision singing competition “Viva El Sueño.” Like the other 13 contestants she defeated, Ana Isabelle already had a record deal, but had yet to break in a big way until she won the final audience vote for the competition in late November 2009.
“We made the album in about a month, but I think it’ll surpass my first album in many respects,” she told Billboard magazine.
Ana Isabelle released her debut album, Por el Amor in 2007 on La Calle Records.
Her new album Mi Sueño, was recently released on Universal Music Latino, features songs Ana Isabelle sang during the competition. The mostly covers album boasts producers that include Mauricio Gasca, Yoel Henriquez, prolific pop hitmaker Armando Avila and pop star Luis Fonsi. Other collaborators are Noel Schajris, Son by Four’s Angel Lopez, songwriter Claudia Brant and pianist Arthur Hanlon.
Universal Latino is making Ana Isabelle a priority artist, Universal Latino GM Luis Estrada says the singer “occupies a place that was empty in the market, as the young female romantic singer for a new generation.”
