Brooke Mueller
I’m ‘Stage 4’ Addict
… Relapse Is Inevitable!!!
Published
Brooke Mueller says she’s a “stage 4” drug addict and it’s only a matter of time before she relapses again.
Charlie Sheen‘s ex-wife opens up about her struggles with substance abuse in a new interview with People, telling the outlet she’s stuck in a cycle where she gets sober and relapses.
Brooke says … “When we’re at stage four, it typically means that cycle where you just have these relapses, no matter how well you get, and no matter how many years, it’s just a matter of time.”
She says she is being honest about addiction issues because “if I try to sugarcoat it, I’d be lying to myself.”
Brooke says every so often she convinces herself she needs prescription drugs … and then she goes through a bottle of pills in 36 hours.
She says Charlie is always her first call when she needs help for her addiction and says he’s better at avoiding vices than she is.
As for her two kids with Charlie, Brooke says they’re doing well but have been through a lot … adding, “The sad reality, is they get used to it — Mommy is going to relapse again one day.”
Christina Fulton
Weston’s in a Diversion Program
… Still Haven’t Received Apology From Him
Published

Christina Fulton says her son’s headed for a diversion program instead of jail … but, he still hasn’t apologized for allegedly assaulting her.
We caught up with the actress in Downtown Los Angeles Wednesday while she was leaving a courthouse where she read a victim impact statement in court to tell her son how the beating she suffered affected her.
Fulton says her son’s been ordered to participate in a “mental health diversion” … a program where Weston Cage will presumably go through mental health counseling to avoid prison time.
Despite this ruling, Christina says her son hasn’t apologized to her … and, hasn’t shown any remorse for the incident that took place last year.
Remember … Weston was arrested last summer for assault with a deadly weapon after he and Christina allegedly got into an altercation in April, and cops claim Weston attacked her. He had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.
Christina released a statement after his arrest … “On April 28th, 2024, around 5:30 PM I received urgent messages from friends of my son, Weston Cage regarding his deteriorating mental state, urging me to come help. When I arrived to offer support and console him, he was already in the midst of a manic rage. Within minutes, I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries.”

We caught up with Fulton after a different court date recently … and, she told us she wanted better from the LAPD, who she says left her bleeding on the ground without medical attention when they responded to the incident.
She’s still serious about police reform — telling us today she’s called and left messages for L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman … saying she wants to work with him on police reform.
Fulton also has a parting message for her ex, Nicolas Cage — Weston’s dad … listen to the clip all the way through to hear what she’s got to say.
Looks like Weston’s moving on from the situation with his mom … even if she’s still heartbroken from it.

Kilmer had health woes for years — he was hospitalized with throat cancer in 2015, and while he eventually went into remission, the disease permanently damaged his voice.
TMZ also learned his health took a serious turn for the worse in his final years, leaving him bedridden for years before his death.
Since his health had been declining for a while, we’re told his death didn’t come as a surprise, with his kids and family by his bedside in his final days.
We dive into Kilmer’s life and legacy in the latest episode of “Last Days,” available on all podcast platforms.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
What’s This On My Chest?!?
Braided Hair, Of Course!!!
Published
Maggie Gyllenhaal has folks in a chokehold … because she’s wearing a braided hair necktie at a public appearance.
The “Dark Knight” star showed up Wednesday to CinemaCon at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas wearing Schiaparelli’s new tie … which looks like braided hair.
Maggie busted out a brunette version of the nearly $2,300 accessory … matching her natural hair and pairing it with a suit.
The fashion house released the braided hair necktie at a 2024 fashion show … and it’s actually made from brass and nylon … no human hair involved, despite the outward appearance.
There’s a lot of strange things to see on the Las Vegas Strip … add Maggie’s tie to the list.
