Charlie Sheen just left the hospital where wife Brooke Mueller is recovering from a nasty infection that landed her in the ICU ... and he says she's doing "fine."


As we first reported, Brooke was pumped full of antibiotics and she's now bouncing back from a 105 degree fever. Brooke's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells TMZ she should be released from the hospital today and he expects the hearing on the protective order will still be heard in an Aspen court on Friday.

And, as we reported, legal docs should be filed shortly to allow Charlie to communicate with Brooke while she's in the hospital. Under the current protective order, Charlie can be in the same room with Mueller but can't communicate with her.

Charlie Sheen's lawyer has just filed legal docs, asking the Aspen judge to allow him to communicate with his wife Brooke Mueller while she's in the hospital.



As we first reported, Brooke Mueller is in the ICU in an L.A. hospital with a nasty infection. Charlie visited the hospital today, but because there is a protective order in place he is not allowed to communicate with his wife.

In the legal papers, Charlie's lawyer, Richard Cummins, wrote that Charlie "is concerned and feels the necessity to assist and care for his wife."

Cummins is asking for a modification of the protective order, to allow Charlie to communicate with Brooke while she's hospitalized.

The judge has not yet ruled on the request.

TMZ has learned Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen's wife, is going to be ok and she still plans to make the trip to Aspen for the hearing on Friday.

Mueller's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells TMZ the infection that put her in the hospital today is under control -- an infection she got as a result of oral surgery earlier in the week.

Galanter says Brooke -- who was admitted to the ICU with a fever of 105 -- was pumped full of antibiotics and she should be released today.

Galanter says the goal is for Brooke to make it to the hearing on Friday -- a hearing to modify the protective order that prohibits Charlie from having any contact with Brooke. Galanter says he's not sure if Brooke will be in any condition to travel and it's possible he'll ask the judge to allow her to testify by telephone.

We're also told a motion should be filed shortly in Aspen to allow Charlie to have contact with Brooke, while she's in the hospital.

Charlie went to the hospital a short time ago .. under the protective order he's allowed to be in the same room with wife Brooke Mueller, but technically he can't communicate with her.

We've learned Charlie Sheen has just arrived at the hospital where his wife, Brooke Mueller, is in ICU.


As we first reported, Brooke was taken to an L.A. hospital and put in ICU -- we're told she has a fever of 105 and possibly pneumonia. Sources connected with Brooke say the problem is related to oral surgery she had earlier in the week. She is being treated with antibiotics.

Charlie arrived with two friends, including Mark Burg, Executive Producer of "Two and a Half Men." We're told Charlie is living in Burg's guest house, because of the protective order.


The protective order does not say the parties cannot be in the same room. It says they cannot have direct contact or direct communication. Therefore, Charlie could theoretically be in the same hospital room, without speaking to Brooke.

UPDATE: We just obtained court docs, filed earlier this week, that describe Brooke's medical issues. Her lawyer, Yale Galanter, told the court Brooke had a "medical emergency with regard to an oral infection" and needed 72 hours to recover. That's why the hearing on modifying the protective order -- originally set for today -- was moved to Friday. It's unlikely Friday's hearing will take place.

Country music icon Charlie Daniels was rushed to a Colorado hospital Friday after suffering a mild stroke while snowmobiling, this according to his rep.

We're told Daniels -- the guy behind "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" -- was immediately treated at a hospital in Durango ... but was soon airlifted to another hospital in Denver.

The rep tells us Daniels was released from the hospital on Sunday and is currently resting at his home in Colorado.

Jeff Conaway from "Grease" was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital today -- and according to his girlfriend, he suffered devastating injuries.

Jeff's girlfriend, Vikki Lizzi, tells TMZ Jeff fell down a staircase this morning at his home and suffered a broken hip, a broken arm, a fractured neck and a brain hemorrhage.

Vicki says Jeff is currently in the emergency room and will undergo surgery on his broken hip.

Looking refreshed following a hospital stay after a pill scare, Alexa Ray Joel was spotted moving out of her West Village apartment yesterday.



She seems like an Uptown Girl to us.

With a bandage over his forehead and a cane in his hand, Gary Coleman made his first appearance on camera since being released from the hospital after suffering a "little seizure activity."


Re: His health, Gary told TMZ there's "nothing wrong with my head" and added he's doing "the best I can with what I've got."

Gary also vented frustration over his latest film -- claiming he's pissed because producers didn't remove a scene featuring a full frontal shot of his penis. Gary told us he'd be lawyering up soon.

Gary Coleman was released from the hospital last night after experiencing what doctors say was a seizure.

Coleman was rushed to the hospital yesterday from the hotel he was staying at while he does press for a new movie. We're told Coleman's seizure was connected to his dialysis treatments.

Coleman has had two kidney transplants.

We're told Coleman is doing fine.

Gary Coleman was taken to the hospital early this morning, TMZ has learned.

We're told Coleman was transported at 8:03 AM from Custom Hotel in Los Angeles where he was staying.

His rep is still trying to confirm what happened -- but people who were with Coleman told the rep there were signs of a seizure.

Coleman was in Los Angeles doing interviews to promote a something called "Midgets vs. Mascots." He did several interviews before being taken to the hospital.

UPDATE -- A friend of Coleman's who was with him this morning tells TMZ that Coleman was sitting on the bed when he went into what the friend said "looked like a seizure." Coleman came around and 911 was called.

Coleman was asked simple questions like "What month is it?" and whether or not he knew the name of anyone in the room -- Coleman was "foggy" and did not know the answers.

Rush Limbaugh just addressed the media in Hawaii where he told reporters he did undergo an angiogram, but he's doing just fine.

He did not suffer a heart attack or any kind of coronary episode and test show nothing wrong.

Limbaugh was hospitalized Wednesday night after experiencing chest pains.

Limbaugh made it a point to thank the staff of the hotel he was staying at, the Kahala Hotel and Resort, and he proclaimed (several times) the U.S. has the best health care service in the world.

He called the outpouring of support from fans very "humbling."

We're told after the press conference, Rush went back to his room at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
