CHARLIE'S BOYS STAY WITH MOM: Charlie Sheen is due back at work this week on his hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. But his 10-month-old twins with wife Brooke Mueller are staying with their mom in Aspen, Colorado. Sources told People magazine that social services workers visited the Aspen home to check on the welfare of the children after the Christmas Day 911 call in which Brooke alleged that Sheen had threatened her with a knife during an argument. Lawyers for both parents have said that the couple hopes to reconcile, but maybe not very soon. There's still a restraining order out against Sheen.


WARREN BEATTY'S WICKED, WICKED WAYS: In his new bio, called How Warren Beatty Seduced America, author Peter Biskind guesses that the actor's romantic conquests add up to 12,775 women, give or take, "a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on." Not that Beatty's bragging. This was supposed to be an authorized biography, but Beatty seems to be backing away from it. At least no one can call him a kiss-and-tell cad.


HURT LOCKER PICKS UP ANOTHER AWARD: The Hurt Locker has already picked up Best Picture honors from the New York and Los Angeles film critics societies. Now, it has won the last of the Big 3 critics awards, the National Society of Film Critics prize for top film of the year. The critics' awards are great for Hollywood egos, but not so great as predictors of Oscars. The movie is seen as too serious, and too little-seen, to be a serious contender for the top Academy Awards.


A new, previously released Michael Jackson tune has surfaced on the Internet this weekend. This time it's a video snippet of a tune called "Another Day" that was allegedly set up to be a duet with Lenny Kravitz. Some of the lyrics sung by Michael in the song are from an older Kravitz tune called "Storm."
