Charlie Sheen spent Christmas morning in jail after he and his wife, Brooke Mueller, got into an argument at a friend’s house in Aspen that resulted in Sheen pulling a knife and Mueller calling 911. That was a real good idea, inviting the Sheens over to Christmas dinner.

“They were fighting at a dinner in a friend’s house and it continued until the next morning,” a source close to Mueller told PEOPLE magazine. “Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand.” [...]

Who could have possibly seen this coming? I mean, sure, Charlie Sheen may have accidentally shot Kelly Preston in the arm when they were engaged, and yeah, the guy loves hookers, and okay, so his abusive relationship with Denise Richards wasn’t exactly fodder for a Rockwell painting. The point is, he wears bad shirts on a TV show that middle America likes, so he’s the highest paid actor on television and will suffer no consequences whatsoever. Reached for comment, a middle manager who doesn’t hit his nagging wife and who took a pay cut because of the recession said, “Yeah, that sounds fair.”
