The most recent update for Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen seems shocking!  The A-list celebrity is at home and will be undergoing his treatment from the comforts of his Los Angeles gated-community mansion — often referred to as his party pad.

Word is that Charlie and the executives at CBS and Warner Bros. put their heads together and hatched a rehab plan custom-made for the star.

For privacy reasons, they have found experts in the addiction field who will come directly to Sheen’s home.  It sounds very much like the actor refused to do it any other way.

Loose lips definitely sink ships – as Charlie has already discovered.  He paid his porn star party girl Kacey Jordan a hefty sum of $30,000 for her company and presumably her silence.  That must not have been enough because she sat down for a tell-all interview this morning on network morning show Good Morning America - video.

Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Derek Hough, a three-time champ, will not be participating in Season 12 of the popular ABC hit reality show when it kicks off in March.

Derek will be making a movie instead.  He has snagged the role of a New Orleans street dancer in a Romeo and Juliet-style love story titled Cobu 3D.

He has actually put on 10 lbs of muscle while training for the new venture.  Filming will take place in New York and Toronto this spring.  Hough said: “People will see a much edgier side of me and these other styles of dance I’m capable of doing.”

He did offer up assurances that he will rejoin the cast for Season 13: “I will be making it back to Dancing with the Stars in the fall.  I’m just taking a little break and taking this chance to grow and expand a little bit as an artist.  It’s like I told one of the producers on the show — I’ll come back with a whole new set of skills.”

He is the only pro dancer to win three Mirror Ball trophies.  His winning partners: Brooke Burke in Season 7, Nicole Scherzinger in Season 10 and Jennifer Grey in Season 11.

Rumors are flying about who will make the Season 12 cut.  Names being tossed around include: Lorenzo Lamas, Donna D’Errico, Jodie Sweetin, Lindsay Lohan, Maria Kanellis, Julie Benz, Kendra Wilkinson, and Mischa Barton.

Denise Richards tuned in to GMA this morning to hear what porn star Kacey Jordan had to say about the 36-hour cocaine binge at Charlie Sheen’s home last week.

Apparently in the midst of his drug fueled stupor he proposed a potential childcare gig.   Kacey said: “He’s like, ‘Can you babysit?  I need a girl I can rely on to babysit, you know?’”

The mother of Sheen daughter’s Lola and Sam headed straight to her Twitter page after viewing the GMA interview.   Denise ‘tweeted’: “If you caught GMA today…FYI… No “adult film star” will be babysitting our kids!”

Check out what the porn star had to say Monday on Good Morning America:

Justin Timberlake has been in show biz practically his entire life.  As a kid  he starred in the Mickey Mouse Club.  As a teenager he won the hearts of millions of girls as the curly haired heartthrob and lead singer of N’Sync.

JT is all grown up — today he turns 30!  Happy Birthday Justin!

As he has gotten older his professional aspirations have shifted.  The singer is currently taking a hiatus from making music, and instead  has been exercising his acting chops in Yogi Bear and The Social Network.

Now that he’s 30, we wonder if he has any plans to settle down with longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel.

Other celebrities born in 1981 and turning the BIG 30 in 2011: Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Beyonce Knowles, Adriana Lima, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Josh Groban and Paris Hilton.
