From 911 Conspiracy to Ugly Divorce Allegations</font size></center>

The "Two and a Half Men" star has found himself jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Sheen recently gave a bizarre interview on GCN Radio Network's conspiracy-minded "The Alex Jones Show," in which he suggested that the federal government was covering up what "really" happened.
"It seems to me like 19 amateurs with boxcutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions," Sheen said.
"There was a feeling, it just didn't look any commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother 'call me insane, but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition'?"
"It seems to me that upon the revelation of that news that the secret service would grab the President as if he was on fire and remove him from that room," said Sheen.
Sheen received quite a bit of criticism as well as ribbing fro his comments but nothing can compare to the ongoing divorce battle between himself and Denise Richards. In March of last year ('05), Denise Richards filed for a divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
Published reports claim that instead of one specific marital issue that lead to them breaking up, there was a slow growing problem with a hard finishing bite.
Richards reportedly sought a restraining order against estranged husband Charlie Sheen in disturbing and lurid papers filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In those documents filed by Richards' attorney, she claims she caught Sheen visiting Web sites with "very young girls, who looked underage to me, with pigtails, braces, no pubic hair, performing oral sex with each other," according to TMZ.com
Richards also accused Sheen of peering at porn sites "involving gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults."
To make matters worse, Richards claimed Sheen pushed, shoved and threatened her life as well as the lives of her parents, reports The Smoking Gun.
Among other allegations: That Sheen abused prescription drugs after the 2004 birth of their first daughter, Sam, and told Richards "I 'better not tell anybody about his using these drugs and better keep it to myself.' I understood by these statements that (he) would physically harm me and our baby."
She is seeking a restraining order as well as a suspension of Sheen's visitation rights with their two children or that the visits only take place under strict supervision, TMZ.com also reported.
The judge has granted Richards a restraining order and Sheen is not allowed to go within 300 feet of the actress and must have his visits monitored with daughters Sam, 2, and 10-month-old Lola, reports Us Weekly.
"I am disappointed that the situation has deteriorated to the point that it has become necessary to seek the assistance of the court," Richards said in a statement Friday, according to Extra. "However, my primary concern is and always has been the welfare of the children and this action today was taken to ensure their safety as well as mine."
Sheen's publicist has denied all of Richards' allegations and his attorney said he looks forward to proving to the court "he is a loving and committed father."
Sheen issued a statement of his own, decrying Richards' decision to go on the offensive.
"This is a most obvious immature and transparent smear campaign designed to hurt, embarrass and ultimately extort me," the Two and a Half Men star said Friday. "I deeply regret her response to my request for the court to decide what's best for our children has taken the form of baseless allegations that I deny. For the sake of my children, I am electing not to reciprocate in kind."
Wow, that's almost as inflamatory as Sheen statements surrounding the 911 events. In fact I'd have to say that Denise wins hands down. Sheen's reputation has taken a real hit over the last year and while his show is thriving, it's obvious the star's personal life hasn't achieved the same gratification.
