![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife warned people on "Two and a Half Men" that Charlie needed help badly ... sources tell TMZ.
We've learned Denise Richards contacted an exec from the show Monday morning and said she was concerned about Charlie relapsing and wanted someone to step in and convince him to go to rehab.
Sources connected with the show tell us when Charlie did not show up for work on Monday or Tuesday, it became apparent to "Two and a Half Men's" Executive Producer Chuck Lorre that Friday's filming was in jeopardy.
We're told Charlie himself realized the show, along with his freedom because of the whole bail issue, were on the line ... and that is what forced his hand.
More sources have come forward and confirmed TMZ's story ... that Charlie is the one who made the decision to go to rehab.
And something else: Our sources say at 10:30 AM yesterday a plan was in place to admit Charlie at 8:00 PM to the rehab facility. In other words, Charlie didn't get cold feet.
As we first reported, the plan is for Charlie to return to the set two weeks from Monday. If that happens, Warner Bros. can deliver the remaining 6 episodes for the season to CBS on time.

who gives a rats ass,,,hope he gets cancer..forsooth a pox upon ye old drunk...get a life people..tis a new day on tmz,,i am here now so watch it
What a loser!! And good for Denise for stepping forward. Say what you will about her, but she has to protect the future of her girls. I think she is very committed to her kids and a decent mom. With Charlie throwing his show down the tubes she has to make sure that her monthly check comes in. He is such an ass and then he marries a druggie too.
On a sidenote, our adoption home study will be complete in the next few weeks and we will be eligible to adopt. Since drugs/booze seem to be more important to Charlie and Brooke than their kids are, why not place them in a good home?
For TMZ, this whole story is more popular than MJ and Tiger Woods now. Okay so they are both in rehab, Brooke has the kids..The End.

By all means, it's vitally important to get all the shows in on time-never mind the fact that both parents of these children need drug rehab because they put their own selfish needs ahead of the welfare of their children's. It's past the point of being sad- it's disgusting.
Good for Denise. No matter what this man has (or hasn't done...none of us actually know), he is the father of her beautiful girls. I hope he can get his act together before this ends tragically.
i was wondering when Denise would show up in this mess of Charlie's.
I would film the rest of the season without Charlie. Focus on Alan, The mother, The kid and housekeeper. Each of them are great on the show.
I agree with an earlier post, Charlie has been looking a little rough this season.
Isn't it a step forward when people can put their grudges behind them and move on like Denise did. Way to go girl!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing a happy ending.
I was a Charlie fan, but now I hope they just throw his ass in jail for a long time. Anyone that can keep getting to the top and throw it all away again and again over drugs, alcohol and bimbos needs to just GTFO.
KEY words that are so your ID...tmz don`t run the world the gym or anyone`s lifes they are SS-fox pupets dance N 4 thier dinner SO dance little pupets dance
Those two babies just need to be adopted out. Still in diapers and their loser parents are BOTH in rehab and about to go to court for felony abuse charges!! These kids don't stand a chance at a normal life!!
Why the hell is Denise Richards sticking her nose into Charlie business. Last I heard her title was ex-wife. If my ex called up my employer for any reason, I would sue the hell out of her.
