Ozzy Osbourne is officially out of Sharon's dog house ... and has moved back in with his wife ... after convincing Sharon he's been drug and alcohol free for months, TMZ has learned.

It's a big step for the couple, considering they split earlier this year ... when Ozzy fell off the wagon.

Sharon insisted she wouldn't take Ozzy back until he cleaned himself up -- and to prove she meant business, she moved out of the family home and into the Beverly Hills Hotel.

But now, it seems Sharon's convinced Ozzy's winning the war with his demons ... because the two not only walked the red carpet together at the Daytime Emmys on Sunday (and shared a kiss) ... they also went home together after the show.

We're told Sharon is determined to help Ozzy stay off the junk -- she's even hired a "sober team" to monitor the rock star 24/7 and help him steer clear of potential hazards.

Ex-UFC champ Ricco Rodriguez has just dodged the strong arm of the law in his drunk driving arrest ... TMZ has learned.

The "Celebrity Rehab" Season 1 alum was arrested in March on suspicion of DUI.

Rico copped a deal, and pled no contest to "wet reckless" -- reckless driving involving alcohol. It's not as serious as DUI, but gets the point across. The DUI charges were dropped.

The former champ won't spend any time in the pokey, but he will be on probation for 3 years. And he was socked with the obligatory $300 fine and a 12-hour alcohol ed program.

Sometimes it's better to throw in the towel.

Brooke Mueller isn't fit to get her kids back in the foreseeable future ... this according to Children Services, and TMZ has learned a court fight is underway.

Sources close to the situation tell us, Mueller wants her kids back when she leaves rehab -- probably in 60 days.  But officials from the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services have had it with Brooke's proclamations that she's cured -- something she's said after each of the nearly 2 dozen times she's relapsed. 

Four-year-old twins Bob and Max are currently under the temporary custody of Denise Richards, after a judge ruled she's the one who can best care for the kids.

We're told Children Services has filed legal docs trying to block Brooke's attempt to get her children back when she comes back home.  DCFS wants the status quo ... so Brooke can be monitored to determine that she's a fit and sober parent.  And we're told DCFS thinks proof of Brooke's sobriety will take a long time.

You'll recall ... just before entering Betty Ford, Brooke was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold after authorities found she was completely out of it, and apparently on drugs, while her kids were in the home.

As for Charlie Sheen -- we're told he's 100% on board with DCFS.

There seems to be an exodus from Betty Ford ... because TMZ has learned Brooke Mueller has left the rehab facility for greener pastures.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Brooke has entered a rehab facility in Orange County.  As for why she left Betty Ford ... we're told Brooke and her people felt Betty Ford was good for "detoxing" ... but she needs a different place to reboot so she can go back home and attempt to lead a clean and sober life.

It's interesting ... Betty Ford has the reputation of being the Rolls-Royce of rehab, but it seems some patients think the facility's value is limited. 

We're told Brooke and her people think the O.C. facility will help her assimilate back into society -- something they didn't think Betty Ford could do.

We broke the story ... Lindsay Lohan also left Betty Ford because the judge and prosecutor, along with Lindsay, felt the program had value for 30 days, but not the full 90.

Lindsay Lohan has CHECKED OUT of the Betty Ford treatment center near Palm Springs ... and has entered the Cliffside rehab center in Malibu ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... the move was APPROVED by the prosecutors, the judge and Lindsay's lawyer.

The gang agreed ... Betty Ford is better suited for a 30-day program, which Lohan has completed -- and she'd be better off completing the remainder of her 90-day sentence at a new place.

We're told ... they all agreed Cliffside in Malibu would be beneficial for Lohan and everyone signed off.  She checked out of Betty Ford yesterday ... and is already settling in at Cliffside.

We don't know if Lindsay will be allowed to take Adderall at Cliffside ... but one source says, "It's doubtful."

Michael Lohan says he's not surprised that ex-MLB star Dwight "Doc" Gooden is trash talking him  ... telling TMZ, Gooden is still bitter because Michael recently tried to get him to go back to rehab.

Michael -- who was on "Celebrity Rehab" with Gooden in 2011 -- tells us, "I am sorry that Dwight is in such a bad place. He used to stay in touch with me but he fell off the wagon and into his dugout mode."

Michael is lashing back after Gooden told Jim Rome that he believes Michael is responsible for Lindsay Lohan going off the rails.

Michael is obviously upset, adding, "I am surprised he said that, but maybe it's because I work in the recovery business and I recently tried to get him to go into treatment."

He adds, "I guess he isn't throwing strike outs as much as striking out himself. Just another wild pitch! I hope he gets well."

Ex-baseball star Dwight 'Doc' Gooden uncorked a verbal beanball at Michael Lohan -- calling him a rehab nightmare, and the root of Lindsay Lohan's problems.

Gooden's not the first to say that ... but he does have firsthand experience with Lindsay's dad -- they did a stint on "Celebrity Rehab" together back in 2011.

Doc, who's as famous for baseball glory as his battles with drug addiction, told Jim Rome ... "He was definitely a head case. I can kinda understand why Lindsay has the problems she has."

Even though Doc says Michael was the most screwed up of his 'Rehab' castmates ... you gotta check out the clip to see which one almost made him quit the show. 

The full interview airs Wednesday night on Showtime.

Dina Lohan says she's come West to support daughter Lindsay Lohan who is struggling to get better in rehab -- but hey, if she can make a buck along the way -- or 50,000 of them -- why not?

As we told you ... Dina and Michael Lohan went nuclear on each other Thursday during a taping of a new show that uses lie detectors to settle disputes.  Dina and Michael were at each other's throats over Lindsay, infidelity ... the usual.

So why would Dina and Michael go on a show?  To help Lindsay get better?  Unlikely.  To settle their differences?  That's never gonna happen.  The reason is simple.  Dina got $50 grand, and it didn't feel dirty because we're told she got Lindsay's permission in advance.

We're told Dina plans to use the money to bail herself out of the financial mess over the family's Long Island home, which has been teetering on the edge of foreclosure.

We couldn't nail down what Michael got from his appearance.  Maybe he did it for free.  Yeah, that made us laugh too.

Lil Scrappy is desperate to kick his lil marijuana-loving ways, and to avoid jail -- the rapper officially checked into rehab for ganja addiction ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Scrappy failed a court-ordered drug test recently, when his urine test came back positive for weed. Afterward, Scrappy claimed he was addicted to the sticky icky and wanted to get help.

Now, his lawyer tells TMZ ... Scrappy voluntarily entered a rehab facility in the Atlanta area Thursday night and will remain there at least until his next hearing on June 16 -- when he's hoping the judge will show him leniency.

We're told the place is no walk in the park -- 6:30AM wake-up, 10PM curfew, group therapy, one-on-one therapy, NO cell phone or laptop ... and NO visitors for the first 2 weeks.

Side note for Scrappy: group therapy can be a bitch ...

Philip Seymour Hoffman just got out of detox for a drug problem that was spinning out of control ... a problem he desperately wanted to nip in the bud ... and he's already back doing a movie.

Hoffman -- who struggled with substance abuse in the past but kicked the habit for 23 years -- fell off the wagon more than a year ago.  He tells TMZ it started slowly with prescription pills, and recently escalated to snorting heroin. 

Hoffman -- who won a Best Actor Oscar in 2006 for "Capote" -- tells us the heroin use only lasted a week or so and he quickly realized he needed help, so he checked himself into a detox facility on the East Coast.
 
He says he was at the facility for 10 days and checked out last Friday.  Hoffman credits what he calls "a great group of friends and family" for helping him seek the treatment he needed to get better.

And at least for now, it seems it worked, because Hoffman is clean and back on a movie set in Europe.

 

So much for new beginnings ... Dina and Michael Lohan's temporary ceasefire came to an explosive end today in L.A. ... after the two went nuclear on each other on the set of a talk show.

Sources tell TMZ, Dina and Michael were taping a segment for "The Test" -- a conflict-resolution talk show launching this fall that uses lie detectors and DNA tests to settle disputes -- when things went South.

We're told things started out great -- but soon the finger pointing began ... and when the topic of infidelity came up, the gloves flew off.

According to sources, both Michael and Dina accused each other of lying about their past  ... as well as who's really responsible for Lindsay's downward spiral ... and the whole thing ended in a firestorm. We're told Michael took two lie detector tests, but Dina refused to take any.

Now Dina and Michael -- who seemed to bury the hatchet during a burger date on Wednesday -- are back on terrible terms.

As we reported, Lindsay's treatment at Betty Ford involves family counseling -- and while both parents said they wanted to cooperate ... it looks like it's not gonna happen.

Saturday kicks off family therapy weekend at Betty Ford -- we're told Dina will be there and Michael wants to participate but fears Dina will now block him.
