Legal teams for Charlie Sheen and his ex-wife in waiting, Brooke Mueller, worked through the weekend to reach a custody deal that would allow both parents to see their twins, Max and Bob. A verbal agreement was already scuttled after Charlie talked to the media, and the new pact is said to include a requirement that monitors be present when the boys are with him.
But while he waits to finally see his kids again -- it's been nearly a week -- sources including Charlie tell me they believe Brooke has been clearly profiting off the boys.
"Charlie hasn't seen the twins in person since they were removed from his home last Tuesday," an insider tells me. "He's getting more and more frustrated every day, seeing pictures of them with their mother as she parades them all over LA like some sort of sick photo opportunity."
It's not unusual for celebrities to tip off photographers on when and where they will be with their kids and sharing the profits from the sale of the images.
I asked Charlie point blank if he thought Brooke was getting paid for the pictures, to which he responded, "Well, DUH."

On Saturday, Charlie kicked off his nightly webcast, taking sips from his sons blue sippy cup and warning Brooke. Addressing his children directly, Charlie said, "Daddy loves you. If you're watching, tell mom to leave the room. It's on."
"This wouldn't be the first time Brooke has sought to profit from media exposure," my source tells me. "Brooke negotiated a million-dollar deal to sell her wedding pictures to Charlie back in 2008. She also tried to sell images of her newborn twins back in 2009. She loves being in the spotlight as much as Charlie."
The only two who have no say in any of this is Max and Bob, who both turn 2 this month.

Sheen's estranged wife Brooke Mueller obtained a restraining order to keep the actor away from her and their young sons because she was afraid of violent comments the actor had made in recent days.

CHARLIE... GO AWAY! the Manic Act is sad, old and tired... you are grasping at straws now... Your "Meltdown" should not be televised, please do it in private, show some grace.
Gloria Steinhem usually bores me, but she said recently "If Charlie Sheen had an air force, he'd be Mummar Gadaffi." Right on. The man is a narcissistic Hollywood meglomaniac who needs to be put down like a sick doggie!!!!!
enough is enough... I am tired of it all... they both like drugs, attention and money.. it is ashame that they dont' think of their children thru all of this.. get a reality ck and grow up the both of you
after seeing Mr. Sheen on the news everyday and to listen to him, well all I can say is CBS would be a fool to take him back. CBS please stick to your guns, he's a loser
Brooke's attorneys are saying that Sheen hadn't seen his boys in alomst a year before, just recently, taking them to his home for the photo ops. And, it's been reported that he rarely sees his young girls too.
Charlie, I hate to break it to you, but all the money in the world doesn't change the fact you are a LOSER. The kids suffer as a result of your antics. No self respecting woman would marry you...so clearly Brooke is not June Cleaver. But you brought all this on yourself, peckerhead.
I think she should lose custody for parading those kids all over town and profiting off the photos. To me, that's the worst thing of all. She seems like a real loser.
All he does is profit off his kids. He shows them on camera and gets more face time that makes him look...good?...interesting...? Whenever he has them they are on camera.
Manic Sheen is so over. Just another druggie loser. Eight years of drugs and everything else he has done to his health, has finally caught up with him. Go away, goofball.Far...far...away...
Charlie, NewsFlash! Telling your 2 year old sons to "tell mommy to leave the room because it's on!" is downright silly...and poor parenting. Of course, at 2 years old, they aren't listening to your show but still...it shows your mindset, Charlie, and your spirit.
Number 1 rule of good parenting: Don't deliberately put your kids in the middle of your hostilities with their mother. Let me put it to you another way. Brooke is and will forever be their mother. They can't divorce her anymore than they can divorce you. When you put down the other parent to your children you are putting down a litle piece of them too. Think about it.
Mr. Sheen, for the life of me i cannot figure out why your on the news so much cause your act is hella sorry but i guess thats whats important to news organizations to report..the meltdown of hollywood celebrities.....Dude you need to seriously put a lid on it cause i gotta believe there is nobody nowhere that buys your act anymore, if you ask me ya your either have metal problems or your hella spun dude.....Just quit !!!
I'm one of your biggest fans Charlie Sheen, but its time to stop NOW that the babies were affected. Make it better for them only YOU can. Think about it.
The guy is in a death spiral. He has so much brain damage from the drugs it's high unlikely he will ever fully recover. I bet within 30 days (at the longest) someone will be dead or seriously injured... run girls.......run.
I feel so badly for his family and children. The exes knew were they were getting into as well as the "goddess".
We all need to stop watching and reading this stuff. It's the only way he is going to go away.
Where are the grandparents? Where is Child Protective Services? Brooke is a drug addict and would sell those kids if the price was right and Charlie sleeps with the "nannies," (one of whom is a former porn star) and prostitutes. How more unfit do they have to be before SOMEONE cares about the welfare, stability, and safety of the two-year old twins??

I think it's time to tell Charlie that it's enough. I'm getting so sick of his childish antics.

Your all just saying stuff. Who is paying you to crap on Charlie.
