Kids

Charlie Sheen is using his dad's epic movie, "Apocalypse Now," to underscore his declaration of WAR against Brooke Mueller and the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services.

Charlie tells TMZ ... he will not be muzzled by a gag order or any other admonition. He believes his twins Bob and Max have been grievously damaged by their mom, Brooke Mueller and he thinks DCFS is blindly protecting her at his kids' expense.

Charlie quotes Martin Sheen in the flick, "I am beyond their timid lying morality, therefore I am beyond caring" -- referring to what he considers the tepid actions of DCFS.

Charlie goes on: "What my family and I are forced to deal with in the last 4 years, lives outside the pale of any acceptable conduct or decency. I am battling an amorphous enemy that needs to be swiftly disempowered."

As we first reported, Brooke's people are gunning for Charlie for violating the gag order and going on TMZ Live, calling Brooke a "whore" and the world's worst parent. To that he says, "There is no force, no human, and no scenario in the known universe that will divert my course, my mission in this life."

As for the pictures TMZ posted, showing Bob allegedly before and after a visit with Brooke -- where it looks like his face was injured -- Charlie says he will stop at nothing to get DCFS to do the right thing:

-- "These crimes against my children will be exposed. These war criminals will be hanged at dusk to a cheering and jeering crowd, gathered together in love in support of all children who are mercilessly discarded like garbage by CPS. Which by the way stands for 'CAN'T PROTECT SHITE.'"

Charlie ends with an ominous threat: "The storm is brewing. Their roofs are leaking. I am the Tsunami your mommy warned you about your whole childhood. All of you renegade deplorable pigs are marked for slaughter."

Tom Cruise is declaring he's a damn good dad to Suri ... opening up for the first time about his divorce from Katie Holmes and how it affected his relationship with his daughter.

Cruise just filed docs in his $50 million lawsuit against the publisher of "Life & Style" and "In Touch" magazines for cover stories that claimed he "abandoned" Suri after divorcing Katie in June 2012.

In the docs, Cruise says ... "I have in no way cut Suri out of my life -- whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise."

He goes on to cite specific times he saw his daughter in person in the months following the divorce, and says ... "even during the times when I was working overseas and was not able to see Suri in person, we were (and continue to be) extremely close."

The docs are pretty revealing ... since Tom has said next to nothing publicly about the divorce from Katie.

Cruise admits he was busy shooting 2 movies when "In Touch" ran its headline, "Abandoned by Daddy" -- however he says, "As my numerous emails with Suri's mother during this time period demonstrate, I was a constant presence in Suri's life."

Tom's declaration continues ... "While I'm sure my daughter misses me when I am not with her (as I miss her), she is a very happy child, and we have a wonderful relationship and cheerful phone calls."

TMZ obtained these pics from sources connected with the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services ... and they purportedly show 4-year-old Bob Sheen before and after a visit with Brooke Mueller ... we've learned Charlie Sheen believes it's proof she's NOT a fit parent.

DCFS sources tell TMZ, Denise Richards -- who has temporary guardianship of twins Bob and Max -- included the before/after shots in her letter to DCFS, claiming a photo was taken just before Bob was dropped off at Brooke's place on July 26 ... and the other taken after leaving Brooke's care.

Denise didn't say what the red mark was, but we're told Charlie believes it was a burn.

It appears Brooke told DCFS Bob's face was already red when Denise dropped him off.

As we reported, according to our DCFS sources ... Denise recently wrote the letter to DCFS in order to say she could no longer care for Charlie and Brooke's twins because they have become out of control and violent, hurting her animals and her daughters.

David Arquette remains fertile ... TMZ has learned his girlfriend is pregnant.

Multiple sources confirm to TMZ ... David's GF, Christina McLarty is in her 4th month. McLarty has been on several entertainment shows, including "Entertainment Tonight."

David and Christina have been on-and-off for 2 years.

David has been boasting to the crew of the movie he's shooting in Vancouver that he's going to be a daddy again.

As you know, David also has a 9-year-old -- Coco - with ex-wife Courteney Cox.

David's rep could not be reached for comment.

Denise Richards has informed the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services she will NO LONGER care for the twins of Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with DCFS tell TMZ ... Denise wrote a letter to the agency, saying the kids are violent and out of control, and she says it's ALL Brooke's fault.

DCFS sources say the letter details horrifying conduct. Denise says Bob and Max often go into a "zombie-like state" -- they repeatedly kick her dogs in the head and squeeze their heads with both hands while watching the dogs whimper in pain. She also says the kids will flip from sweetly petting the dog to strangling the animals and lifting them off the ground by the neck.

According to the letter, Denise would tell the kids they were hurting the dogs, and Bob and Max would reply that they wanted to hurt and kill the dogs.

According to the letter, the violence is not limited to animals. Denise says her daughters -- Sam, Lola and Eloise -- have been targets of the boys. She says her daughters have been strangled, kicked in the head and stomach, scratched, bit, slapped, punched in the face and head, and spit on by Bob and Max. Denise describes one incident which she seems to blame on Brooke -- after visiting Mueller, Bob threw a toy at Sam's face and she had to go to the doctor.

Denise says Bob and Max went to school in September and they have been problematic from the get-go. She says Bob in particular has harmed other kids and punched and slapped teachers in the face.

Denise says the kids have also thrown their own feces into the bathroom of one of her daughters.

In the letter, Denise connects the bad conduct to the time the kids spend at Brooke's home, claiming they act out violently when they are returned to Denise. She also says the kids have had horrible nightmares after returning from Brooke's home, where the kids would stay up with her til 4 AM.

Brooke Mueller is on the attack ... gunning for Charlie Sheen, who called her a whore, drug addict and terrible parent on TMZ -- and if she gets her way Charlie could end up in jail.

We just received a subpoena from Brooke's lawyers, ordering us to preserve the video and audio interviews we did with Charlie last Friday. Where to begin. Charlie said Brooke has damaged their twins emotionally, to the point they're on the verge of getting kicked out of school. He says every time the kids visit with Brooke, they come home completely freaked out and suffer from night terrors.

Our sources say Brooke's lawyers will go to court with our video and audio and argue Charlie has violated the gag order and should be punished -- possibly with jail -- and have his visitation curtailed.

Charlie told us the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services cares more about protecting and rehabilitating Brooke than protecting the twins. He also calls the judge in the case "The Dishonorable Judge Douchebag." Charlie also called him fat.

The subpoena orders us to hand over the video and audio interviews we did with Charlie. What ... they don't watch TMZ Live?

Brooke Mueller just got rejected in court -- a judge has refused to issue a restraining order against Charlie Sheen for allegedly threatening her life last week.

Brooke filed the request for a temporary restraining order against Sheen following his anti-Brooke tirade last week (below), when he told "TMZ Live" Brooke is an evil whore who's putting their twins' lives in danger. He said he would be gunning for full custody come hell or high water.

In her petition, Brooke quotes Charlie saying, "[T]here will be a reckoning. There will be a whirlwind. That they will all reap while desperate begging for my forgiveness. You've all been warned."

And, "I will exercise every resource at my disposal. I will, I will, I will, I will empty my entire war chest and if I can't get it done, I know a guy who can."

For her part, Brooke insists she's maintaining her sobriety and Charlie is on a mission to sabotage her. Brooke says she's even scared Charlie will plant drugs on her.

But the judge wasn't buying her case ... he flat out denied her emergency request for a restraining order ... at least for now.

The judge set a hearing for next month for Brooke to make her case again in person.

We're told department officials told Richards they were pissed off that Charlie dared to tell TMZ Bob and Max were not being protected by the department. As you probably know, Charlie railed on DCFS Friday, telling us they care more about Brooke Mueller overcoming drug addiction than they do the safety of his kids.

Charlie Sheen's twins are not freaked out by the giant lizards in Brooke Mueller's house ... they love the squirmy creatures -- according to sources connected to Brooke.

Charlie told TMZ his kids are off the hinges when they come home from a stay at Brooke's ... scared to death by the lizards that are terrorizing her home.

Charlie thinks it is yet another example of Brooke's appalling parenting skills ... but our Brooke sources say the kids actually love the lizards and happily play with them for hours.

They also say the lizards are well contained.

TMZ broke the story ... Brooke's first overnight with the kids since living in rehab was last night.

Stay tuned.

Charlie Sheen is scoffing at Brooke Mueller's team, which is trying to nail him for talking about Brooke on TMZ, saying, "If this is what they want, bring it 'cause I'll burn the house down."

Charlie is reacting to our story, in which we reported Brooke's team will ask a judge to sanction him for allegedly violating the gag orders in the custody and guardianship cases. Charlie called Brooke an evil whore -- among many other things -- who has done great damage to their twins.

Charlie is especially angry Brooke is getting her first overnight visit with the twins since she went to rehab. He tells TMZ Live his security guards will stand outside her house tonight and barge in if there's a sign of trouble.

Charlie tells TMZ, "Really, they're going to jail me for telling the truth"

And get this ... Charlie says, "If I actually go to jail for talking, I'll do interviews in jail," adding, "The only person more idiotic than Brooke in this case is the judge. The Dishonorable Judge Douchebag."

But wait ... there's more. Charlie says, "He [the judge] wants to put me in jail for trying to save my boys? Go for it, fatty. I'll eat his lunch from jail." And one more thing about the obviously large judge, "One meal he could afford to miss."

Charlie Sheen could go to jail because of his tirades against Brooke Mueller this morning on TMZ ... because we've learned Brooke's team will ask a judge to throw the book at him.

Charlie spoke to us this morning and unloaded on his ex-wife, calling her a dangerous and evil whore who's putting their sons in danger with her abysmal parenting skills.

Brooke's team is livid, because everyone involved in the custody and guardianship cases are bound by a gag order. NO ONE is supposed to talk about the cases. We're told Brooke's team will ask the judge to sanction Charlie, and that could include sending him to jail for contempt of court.

Charlie Sheen says his ex-wife Brooke Mueller is a dangerous, EVIL whore who's putting their twin boys in SERIOUS DANGER ... and now, Charlie says he's on a mission to stop her before it's too late.

Sheen just called TMZ and told us ... his 4-and-a-half year old twin boys Bob and Max have already suffered physical and emotional damage from the time they've spent in Brooke's care. In fact, he says they're very close to getting kicked out of school.

Charlie says the boys are deathly afraid of Brooke's house -- which is covered in pet lizards, various insects and other critters -- and they suffer night terrors after spending time at the home.

Charlie also says Bob suffered a bad rash on his face after recently spending time with Brooke -- a rash that "looked like somebody burned him."

Charlie says he's complained to L.A. Child Services -- but they refuse to help. Instead, Charlie claims, Brooke is getting MORE custody ... and he doesn't understand why.

Sheen ripped Child Services on a Twitter rant last night -- calling them "doosh bags" who have done nothing to protect his children. He also called Brooke an "evil and pathetic über loser" and a "whore."

Sheen says Brooke is supposed to get her first unsupervised overnight visit with the twins tonight -- and Charlie says he's very afraid of what could happen.

Charlie says he's not sure if Brooke is back on drugs, but he is sure about one thing -- "She's as awful a parent and a person as you can possibly draw up."

Two prominent Beverly Hills doctors once featured on "Dr. 90210" are locked in a child custody war involving wild allegations of abuse -- and it all comes to a head this morning ... as the 3 youngest kids will be separated from their older brother ... TMZ has learned.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Evans and dermatologist Dr. Susan Evans' nasty divorce took a dark turn last month when their oldest child filed legal docs, accusing his father of sexually abusing his younger siblings.

According to a request for a temporary restraining order, filed by Brian and Susan's 12-year-old son on Oct. 15 ... Brian touched his 6-year-old son's penis -- and also touched the genitals of their 8-year-old twin daughters.

Further, the eldest son claims Brian "hit me in the face, dragged me for 2 rooms" and threatened to kill the kids and their mom. According to the TRO request, this went down in Oct. 2012 ... a full year before the TRO was filed.

Brian's attorney Errol Gordon tells TMZ ... they not only deny the allegations, but say authorities investigated and disproved them.

In fact, on Oct. 24 the court issued a major modification of child custody ... granting Brian legal custody of all 4 children, and physical custody of the three youngest ones. The handoff is scheduled to happen this morning in L.A. County Family court.

The order also prohibits Susan from having any contact -- "in person, by telephone, text, email, or otherwise" -- with the 3 kids for the next 30 days. The oldest son will continue living with Susan.

After the 30 days, Susan can have 4 monitored visits with the kids -- but no overnights -- and a month after that ... she can ask to modify the custody order.

Pauly D has just been REJECTED by his baby mama ... who says she will NOT let him visit his 5-month old daughter unsupervised.

Pauly's lawyer sent a letter to Amanda Markert's attorney, requesting that Pauly get visitation of the little girl, Amabella, for 2 weeks beginning today.

TMZ has learned ... Markert's lawyer told Pauly's mouthpiece to pound sand, saying Pauly cannot take the baby unsupervised for that period of time. So it seems she might be open to visitation if she or someone else she chooses is present.

Our sources say Pauly D's lawyer has agreed to supervised visitation but now all they're getting is radio silence.

Pauly's rep tells us, "Paul and his entire family are eager to meet and spend time with Paul’s daughter. Paul has been requesting visitation for quite some time now, but his requests have either gone unresponded to or denied. He and his family are committed to being a significant part of his daughter’s life and are excited to make that a reality. "
