Charlie Sheen Says Twins Are Sleep 'Challenged'

Sara Jaye Weiss/Startraks

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Sheen enjoyed a night out on the town Saturday, walking the red carpet at the opening of ‘Peepshow’ at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The event represented a milestone in and of itself for the proud new parents, who recently welcomed twins Max and Bob, 5 weeks. “It’s the first time we’ve been away from them for an hour, let alone a night!” Brooke revealed. “I’m struggling more than [Charlie] is!”

While a good time was presumably had by all, nobody could blame the couple if they decided to make it an early night; Charlie describes the twins’ sleep as “challenged at times.” He added:

“But we’re not going to get any sympathy from any new parents.”

As for Max’s much-publicized extended hospital stay, all is well. “He’s great,” Charlie said. “Everybody’s great. Everybody’s home.”

Max and Bob are the first children together for Charlie and Brooke. Charlie is already dad to Sam, 5 and Lola Rose, 3 ½, with ex-wife Denise Richards, and 24-year-old Cassandra from a previous relationship.

I don’t see Charlie with the girls since the boys are born.

Gosh you’d think that Charlie would settle down eventually but nope even with three daughters and 5 week old sons he is out on the town at a peepshow opening. Hopefully he’ll realize soon that his children especially his sons will need a strong male role model and not a “buddy”.

I understand a date night, but an overnighter in Vegas to attend a peepshow when the boys are only 5 weeks old seems a bit much. How long has baby Max been home?

Ashley, you need to stop making a comment just for the sake of starting an argument. It is quite obvious that this is what you are trying to start with your comment.

Ashley on April 22nd, 2009

Kim I don’t know where you are coming from with me trying to start an argument. It was a simple observation and question…but sorry I offended you, obviously CBB didn’t think my comment was rude or offensive because it was posted.

It was a night out not an “overnight”. It clearly says they went home early. Geez. Peepshow is a Las Vegas show starring Mel B, not an actual peepshow (if those even exist anymore). I think he and his wife deserve a night out to and I hope they enjoyed it- not that they need anyone’s blessing!

I’ve been out of the loop for awhile…can anyone tell me the baby boys’ full names? I’m assuming Bob and Max are nicknames, although I could be wrong! I would love to hear what their full names are…I’m a baby name addict!

how do we know it was overnight? i was gone “for the night” with my husband for the first time a few weeks ago…we went out 6-11 pm, so maybe brooke didn’t mean overnight by that comment. i couldn’t have imagined going away for long when my son was 5 weeks, but i can imagine with the boys being in the hospital for so long and such that maybe brooke needed a break from the stress. i’m not a big fan of charlie’s but i’m not sure people are being fair. rachel, i haven’t seen pictures of charlie period since his boys were born. that doesn’t mean he’s not doing things with his daughters, just that we haven’t seen photographs.

Ashley: Why do you only single out Charlie in your comment? In the post it clearly said they both attended the opening! Why didn’t you mention Brooke was out of town too?
People should stop making assumptions in the 2 lines that is written here or anywhere else.

Based off a few comments you would’ve thought Charlie up and left his wife and newborn sons home for a on the town in Las Vegas. But they both went out together. So what’s the fuss about again?!?

Sanja on April 22nd, 2009

SouthernBelle -Bob’s full name is Robert Carlos (as stated by Charlie and Martin Sheen), Carlos is Charlie’s real name. No word on Max so far.

“Ashley, you need to stop making a comment just for the sake of starting an argument. It is quite obvious that this is what you are trying to start with your comment.”

Good grief Kim. I guess you must have missed the part of this site’s rules that says to be respectful towards other posters when disagreeing.

It’s really ridiculous how often posters on this site flip out and get hysterical towards those who have a problem with something a celeb does.

Just because a person has an opinion that is different from yours does not make their opinion any less real or valid than yours. And yet I see in the comments section constantly posters (the ones who think we should never express any displeasure with celebs) telling other posters that they’re either jealous, just trying to start a fight, or that they need to “back off.” It is really so inconveivable to you that someone would have an opinion that is different from yours, that you must assume they must be just trying to pick a fight. I don’t agree with that other poster, but she has just as much right to her opinion as you do.

I think Charlie should say that HE’S sleep challenged, assuming he does the night shift. My BIL and SIL have newborn twins and they get NO sleep. When the first baby is awake, the second is asleep. When the first baby falls asleep, the second baby wakes up! Both are rarely asleep at the same time; if they do, it’s at most an hour. Talk about sleep deprivation for their poor parents.

“Hopefully he’ll realize soon that his children especially his sons will need a strong male role model and not a “buddy”

Of course everybody is entitled to their opinion, but when someone writes the comments as per above then in my opinion (which I am also entitles too) people always need to find something negative about a post. Who says he will only act as a buddy just because they went out for an evening or even a whole night. Perhaps they needed a break with just the 2 of them to reload their battery, so to speak. It must have been a pretty scary time they went through.
I just found Ashley’s comment very judgmental in doubting his parenthood because he went out to this peepshow and therefore I posted a judgmental response. And why wasn’t Brooke then also questioned about hoping to be more than a buddy to her kids? I am tired of negative comments when they don’t know the full reason for them to enjoy a night away from the kids.
