The ‘Two and a Half Men’ star is reportedly determined to sort out his problems and get his relationship with Brooke Mueller – who he is accused of assaulting on Christmas Day (25.12.09) – back on track after a judge modified a restraining order against him yesterday (08.02.10) so the couple can live together again.   A source told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: “Charlie and Brooke already are going through intense marriage counselling and Charlie has been very religious about attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and serious anger management counselling. “He’s telling everyone that he is going to do everything he can to make it work – and last.” 

The restraining order which was put in place after the actor was charged with felony menacing and misdemeanour charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief, has now been lifted on the condition the 44-year-old star does not drink alcohol, is in possession of guns or harasses his wife.   Brooke’s attorney, Yale Galanter, said the couple – who have ten-month-old twin sons Bob and Max – had hugged and kissed in Pitkin County Courthouse after yesterday’s hearing before leaving separately, but planned to return to their Los Angeles home together.

He said: "I can tell you, Brooke very badly wanted to have contact with Charlie. There are many children’s issues she wanted to communicate with him about.  "Brooke’s desire was to get the order modified so they could have contact and communicate because of their children. Judge Boyd was gracious enough to grant that and now Charlie and Brooke are on their way back to Los Angeles to continue their lives."

The couple – who married in 2008 – are said to be keen to rebuild their marriage, and have asked prosecutors to drop the case.   The actor but did not enter a plea yesterday but is due back in court on March 15.  Photo: Fame Pictures

The outspoken moron  is unhappy the medic – who was the last person to see the ‘Thriller’ star before his death last June – was charged with involuntary manslaughter yesterday (08.02.10), insisting the physician is just one part of a bigger conspiracy.   Speaking after attending Murray’s arraignment hearing in Los Angeles yesterday (08.02.10), Joe said: "I was looking for justice, and justice, to me, would be a murder charge.

"To me, he’s just a fall guy. There’s other people, I think, involved with this whole thing. But I think that if he’s interrogated – he would come clean and tell everything he knows."   Prior to Michael’s death – which was ruled a homicide by drug overdose last month, with the anaesthetic Propofol administered by Murray considered the primary factor – the singer was rehearsing for a 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena and Joe claims his son was convinced he would be killed before finishing the performance.

Joe told US TV talk show host Larry King: "He was afraid to even do all of these shows, because he was afraid that he wouldn’t get a chance to finish all of them. He couldn’t do all those shows back-to-back. Even his kids say that he had told them that he would be murdered."   Michael’s sister La Toya Jackson also spoke out after the court hearing, issuing a statement claiming her brother was “murdered”.   She said: "Michael was murdered, and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved, and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served."

Meanwhile police have not named any other suspects in connection with Michael’s death.  Photo: Fame Pictures

The ‘Fantastic 4’ star Jessica Alba– who has a 19-month-old daughter Honor Marie with husband Cash Warren – has fallen in love with Indian films and would love the chance to show off a different side to her acting talents. She said: Hindi films are very dramatic. They are colourful. And I love the singing and dancing bit.

I would love to act in one of them. Despite her fascination with its movies, Jessica, 28, admits she has never been to India, but is planning a trip there and wants to see as much of the country’s culture as possible. She told DNA India: "India is a beautiful country I have never visited but would love to travel around and see the country soon. It will be a lot of fun."

During her travels, Jessica hopes to make new friends and says loyalty is one of the most important factors in building a lasting relationship with someone.   She explained: “Loyalty goes a long way. It is about being open and loving to people you care about, regardless of what they could offer you. It’s not lacking just in Hollywood, I think in the world." Photo: Fame Pictures

The couple – whose five-year-old daughter Coco was conceived after they underwent in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment – are looking into alternative ways of expanding their family because the 45-year-old actress is finding it “hard” to fall pregnant naturally.

David said: "I don’t know. I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so maybe adoption.  “Listen, I like practicing as much as possible! But it’s hard… I’m exhausted!"

For the time being, the couple are focusing their attentions on Coco and are amazed at how many of their personality traits she is already showing.  David, 38, told US TV talk show host Bonnie Hunt: "She’s a little messy so that’s sort of on my side, but she’s very strong-willed which is very Courteney-like.”   However, the youngster is showing no signs in wanting to follow in her parents’ footsteps and become an actress, as she is currently more interested in music.  David added: "We got her a flute recently and she is just walking around pretending to play. We’re jammin’ a lot, a little Jethro Tull."  Photo: Fame Pictures
