A court battle between Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller would destroy both of them, with a wealth of dirty secrets spilling into the public, a source familiar with the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Sheen and Mueller have avoided court for now and both have motivation to resolve their battle privately.
A public all-out war between Charlie and Brooke will be devastating to both, the source said. They each have so much dirt on the other its amazing.
People think theyve heard everything about Charlie but they havent. And Brooke knows his worst secrets and hasnt unloaded them yet.
Mueller obtained a restraining order against Sheen, revealing an anti-Semitic text she says he sent and various violent threats.
But theres much, much more.
Charlie has done things with Brooke that the public doesnt know about. Im talking about in the arena of sex and drugs, and these things are shocking, even for Sheen, the source said.
As the parents of twin boys, Charlie and Brooke both have to be careful about the accusations they throw at each other. Their marriage involved bringing in outside sex partners and doing a lot of drugs.
Sheen showed RadarOnline.com evidence of Brookes relapse during the recent trip to the Bahamas before Charlie was canned from Two and a Half Men. Brooke, who has been in rehab many, many times, admitted she relapsed but says she is sober now.
Both sides need to work out a deal without going to court, the source said. Otherwise things are likely to get even worse for both Charlie and Brooke.

Lily Allen Talks Miscarriage, Eating Disorder in New Documentary
Lily Allen Talks Miscarriage, Eating Disorder in New Documentary

The last we heard from Lily Allen, she was lashing out at Kanye Westvia Twitter over his own insensitive tweet on abortion.
The British singer, who miscarried her second baby in two years last fall, called Kanye's comments "wrong on so many levels."
Now, Allen is stepping outside Twitter and opening up about her misfortune in a new U.K.-produced documentary called Lily Allen: Riches to Rags, in which she also reveals she suffered from a serious eating disorder and used to purge after meals.
The Channel 4 doc, filmed over seven months from March until October of last year, shows a tearful, vulnerable Allen, who talks about her sadness over losing her second child six months into her pregnancy last year, reports the U.K's Daily Mail.
"It was a really long battle, and I think that kind of thing changes a person," she says in the interview.
The 25-year-old also admits that her incredible weight loss was the result of an eating disorder. "I used to vomit after meals," she said. "It's not something I'm proud of. But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I'd be on the cover of every magazine."
Despite the praise, Allen said she wasn't happy on the inside and finally realized she was "a pop star, not a model."
"I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars. But I wasn't happy, I really wasn't," she said. "I would love to be the skinniest minniest person in the world but I can't do that without being unhappy. I like food. Don't make me feel s--t for not being really skinny and having an eating disorder."
There is a silver lining to all of Allen's suffering thoughshe is now engaged to building company owner Sam Cooper, with the two set to wed later this year. The duo have been dating since 2009 and Cooper popped the question last Christmas, a month after they lost their baby.
Allen was back in the spotlight this week after she attended the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week and visited Karl Lagerfeld's studio. The eccentric designer is making her wedding dress.
The documentary also delves into Allen's love of fashion, and shows her at the Covent Garden vintage boutique store she co-owns with her sister.

Duchess Fergie: Sorry for Accepting $24,000 From Pedophile
Duchess Fergie: Sorry for Accepting $24,000 From Pedophile
The Duchess has done it again.
It's another royal flub for Sarah Ferguson.
The disgraced Duchess admitted to taking money from U.S. businessman Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who spent 13 months in prison for soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008.
The $24,000 payout came immediately after the ex-con, who has settled more than a dozen cases out of court, vacationed with her ex-husband Prince Andrew.
This follows last year's scandal in which the then bankrupt Ferguson was caught setting up access to the Prince in exchange for money.
"I personally, on behalf of myself, deeply regret that Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way with me," she told London's Evening Standard newspaper. "I abhor pedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know this is a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf."
As for getting her ex involved in yet another sordid mess, she said, "Once again my errors have compounded and rebounded and also inadvertently impacted on the man I admire most in the world, the duke. He has supported me and come to my rescue again and again and there is absolutely nothing that I would not do for him."
Several more castmembers from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn have made way to Vancouver, including Judi Shekoni ("Zafrina" - Amazonian Coven), Tinsel Korey ("Emily Young"), Guri Weinberg ("Stefan" - Romanian Coven), and others. By now it's pretty much a full house in British Columbia. As expected filming picked back up this week, though the weather was no better where costuming was concerned, at least for one castmember.
Ashley Greene ("Alice Cullen") tweeted, "My dress I wore on set today was adorable. The weather? Not so much!! Man it's cold out!"
Even still, it's game on in Vancouver!
Meanwhile, there are a couple of news updates you'll want to know about, so here's the usual wrap-up of the latest in Twilight news.
For starters, Lee Pace ("Garrett" - American Nomads) has been chatting about Breaking Dawn and his co-stars once again, this time with E! Online. In the interview, Pace praised Kristen Stewart endlessly, saying "Kristen hasn't lost any of that stuff that makes her special . . . People say it's quirky, but I think it is authentic. She doesn't march down these red carpets like a show monster." Like last time, he also remarked on how director Bill Condon seems to be making this leg of the Saga "cooler." Pace will be hitting Broadway again fairly soon, as he's just been added to the cast of The Normal Heart. Per The Los Angeles Times, Pace "will play closeted activist Bruce Niles."
Speaking of Breaking Dawn newbies talking about the movie, Angela Sarafyan ("Tia" - Egyptian Coven) is going to be featured in the April issue of TROIX Magazine (the same which featured Jackson Rathbone, Christian Serratos, and Kiowa Gordon in previous months), and to celebrate, she did an interview with Teen.com about her work in Breaking Dawn. "The people I'm working with are just the sweetest. When I came onto the set and saw Kristen and Rob . . . everybody is really very sweet . . . I have to say, it's a surprise. It's a real wonderful surprise," she explained. The video interview is attached.
Another video which has been attached is of Jackson Rathbone and the 100 Monkeys, who decided to make a song about the latest antics of the one and only Charlie Sheen. That video speaks for itself. A third video which has been attached is of Xavier Samuel ("Riley" in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), in an interview he did from the set of A Few Best Men.
Finally, Vanity Fair has revealed a web exclusive tidbit about Robert Pattinson's April cover shoot, and it seems that Pattinson used some of his time in the Bayou to join a native blues band on-stage for an impromptu jam session. Sounds about right, right? Check out the full story and photo at VF.
Enjoying some downtime with her family, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out in Studio City earlier this week.
The Beastly babe was joined by her mother Gina and sister Stella as she consumed a post-workout lunch- all three ladies donned matching black ensembles.
And though her romance with Zac Efron is in the past, Vanessa still gave him props for helping her deal with fame during a recent interview.
She explained, I had my family to keep me grounded. Im so close to my mom [an office worker] and dad [a firefighter]. Their world doesnt revolve around Hollywood. I also had (my High School Musical co-stars) to grow with, like Ashley [Tisdale] and Zac [Efron]. We all went on this journey together and had each other to fall back on. Youve got to have your friends to keep your head on straight.
Enjoy the pictures of Vanessa Hudgens out with her mom and sister in Studio City (March 4).
Lindsay Lohanis preparing to sue Kamofie & Company jewelry store -- claiming they had no right to cash in from the sale of the infamous surveillance tape ... because Lindsay never gave them the right to use her image for profit ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the surveillance video tell TMZ ... Kamofie sold the rights to distribute the tape to the Associated Press for at least $40k. The AP has since struck a deal with "Entertainment Tonight" in which the show got exclusive rights to air the tape for one week.
We're told Lohan met with her lawyers today ... no word on when she plans to file the lawsuit.
UPDATE: A rep for Kamofie tells us, "We regret to hear there is trepidation by Miss Lohan in connection with the video. "
The statement continues, "We hope that everyone understands that this is beyond our control, the flood of the requests to see this video were simply too overwhelming. It was truly necessary to put it out."
Selena Gomez just debuted her brand-new single, Who Says with On Air with Ryan Seacrest this morning and JJJ has the track so you can listen!

Brad Singer tells Media & Telecom Conference Monday that advertisers are on board long term, but the "hardest part" will be growing the audience.
The OWN Network is a work in progress, with audience numbers expected to grow in the second half of the year as shows starring Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O'Donnell and Shania Twain debut, Discovery Communications CFO Brad Singer said Monday.
Speaking at the Deutsche Bank Media & Telecom Conference in Palm Beach, Fla., Singer said advertisers are on board long term at the Discovery-Winfrey joint-venture OWN, and the "hardest part" will be growing the audience.
The executive had similar thoughts about the Hub, Discovery's joint venture channel with toymaker Hasbro. However, with an additional revenue stream beyond advertising and subscription fees -- that being merchandise sales -- that network is self-funding, he said.
The Hub, he said, has seen "a lot of success compared to Discovery Kids," which was replaced by the Hub in October.
Singer also said that the scatter market in the fourth quarter for shows across the various Discovery networks was strong and that he sees a continuation of that trend in the current quarter.
They laughed. They cried. They called each other names. Considering how heated and weepy things got when 15 of the most memorable contestants from this season of The Bachelor reunited on a soundstage in Hollywood, it might be hard to believe there was still more that went unseen on The Women Tell All special. Here's the best of what you didn't see:
The anti-Michelle Money tirades were more intense and lasted almost twice as long in person. "I never in my life thought I would get that emotional," Money told PEOPLE backstage. "I was so upset I couldn't breathe. I never felt uglier. The whole process has been hard but tonight was my breaking point." Michelle did appreciate hearing words of support coming from the audience. "It feels redemptive to think maybe I changed a few opinions of me tonight," she said with a rare smile. "Maybe people at home will see I'm not the villain I was edited to be."
If you thought Madison's comment about not wanting to be friends insinuated that the fanged femme took issue with Michelle, you'd be wrong. She defended Michelle extensively, giving her props for being "honest from go about being there to find love not friends." Madison was also one of the women along with Alli, Ashley H., Melissa and Lisa who were thanked with hugs and hand squeezes from Michelle when she returned to her seat. "That was overly brutal," Madison said. "I would have cried too."
Brad had a much easier time at this reunion compared to the last one. "I didn't feel I did anything shady," he said. "I went in open-minded and gave everyone a shot. I let people go when I knew there was no chance at a future with them and I tried to be honest. And I fell in love so it was much easier to face them."
The Rachel vs. Melissa segment was nastier in person than it appeared on TV. Rachel's chest implants were mocked and mental disorders like ADD and OCD were bandied about to describe Melissa. When Jackie told her she should have just walked away from the drama and been the bigger person, Rachel told Jackie to go sing "Beauty and the Beast" because she was acting "so Disney." Rachel had so many zingers, it felt at times like an audition for season 2 of Bachelor Pad. "I hope they see from tonight that I would be a great candidate for that show," Rachel said. "My doctor would be happy to turn this $11,000 boob job into a $20,000 one after I win."
Rachel also had a chance to ask Brad if Melissagate was responsible for her exit. "I'm not a fan of drama and I wanted it out of the house," he said. After the show, Rachel felt vindicated: "I was happy to hear that the connection wasn't something I made up in my head, but I'm still pissed because I think that had I not gotten into the drama with Melissa, I had a real shot at the final two ... But now we'll never know thanks to that poisonous bch."
Chris Harrison did a double take when he first laid eyes on Ashley Hebert's new hairstyle. But she told PEOPLE after the show that she thought it surprised Brad more than anyone. "He didn't even recognize me, but when we hugged he said he thought it looked great a second time," she said. "I'm really happy with it. I feel like this is the natural me and I needed to refresh after this experience."
Though he was slated to direct his long-awaited adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft horror tale this summer, it now appears that the project is off the table. Numerous reports surfaced yesterday that Legendary Pictures had successfully lured del Toro away from the Universal horror flick for "Pacific Rim," a PG-13 blockbuster featuring massive monsters and "the creation of a new world."
Whether or not "Pacific Rim" is del Toro's next film isn't entirely clear, but "Madness" is certainly finished for now. The filmmaker himself reached out to The New Yorker and revealed: "Madness has gone dark. The R did us in."
Del Toro's "Mountains of Madness" was envisioned as a big-budget R-rated horror movie, something that isn't exactly a box-office guarantee on paper. But the talent involved with the project tells another story: James Cameron, creator of the top two highest-grossing films of all time, was on board as producer, and Tom Cruise was attached to star in the movie. With those undeniable box-office draws on his side, del Toro's hopes for an R-rated "Madness" didn't seem too far-fetched.
Ultimately, it appears that Universal was unable to commit to del Toro's vision, as Collider reports that the studio officially passed on the project last Friday. It's a huge disappointment for horror fans and del Toro enthusiasts, as well as anybody who simply loves big, original movie ideas.
But the blame game is a hard one to play in this situation Harry Knowles at Ain't It Cool News has slammed Universal for shying away from such an ambitious and risky project, while Drew McWeeny at HitFix praises Universal's risk-taking moves with "Scott Pilgrim," "Paul" and others; he argues that the problem is "systemic" of the film industry at large, bigger than any one studio.
For us, we're not concerned with who's at fault, not right now. We're just flat-out disappointed that we're not going to see del Toro's "Madness" anytime soon, even if we're excited about the possibilities that "Pacific Rim" presents.
Vanessa Hudgens And Alex Pettyferâs Best Of Los Angeles
Vanessa Hudgens And Alex Pettyfers Best Of Los Angeles
Vanessa Hudgens says her latest flick Beastly, is a gothic romance thats a modern day take on Beauty & The Beast, except a bit darker and a bit sexier. It kind of leaves you with a great message to not judge a book by its cover.
Entertainment producer Kerry Maller sat down with Hudgens and co-star Alex Pettyfer to find out their favorite spots in Los Angeles. Hudgens, who plays Lindy in the film, likes Aroma Cafe because of the adjacent book shop and twinkle lights strung outside. Pettyfer, who plays Kyle, likes Los Angeles favorite In-N-Out.
As bizarre and angry as ever, Sheen recorded a late Sunday call with friend Bob Maron in which he rants about needing to overhaul his webcast to get out his message.
Im gonna write my sermons, [and] Im gonna deliver them like truth torpedoes, explains Sheen.
At various points there are references to orange juice, jumping out of a plane, his magic tray, and how his telephone is an instrument of the trolls.
After the call, Sheen spends a few minutes rambling about the expression it is what it is, certain tenets of his philosophy, and the death of his dog Betty.

On kissing on the silver screen: I cant lie. It didnt suck making out with Channing [Tatum] and Justin [Timberlake].
On being asked to get Botox: "I was like, Damn you! But were in Hollywood. Im on a huge screen. With these new digital cameras, you can see the peach fuzz on my face.
On how Dominic Cooper's previous girlfriend led to their breakup: I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved. But we werent really as involved as I thought. So I got my heart broken pretty hard. After that, its really hard to open myself up to a new person. Really hard.
On another famous ex, Alexander Skarsgård: We dated. Hes superfunny, but I was too involved with Dom.
On her reported new love Ryan Phillippe: Um, yeah. Ive been seen with him.
"Kristen hasn't lost any of that stuff that makes her special," Lee Pace, who is playing Edward's vampire BFF Garrett in the Breaking Dawn flicks, tells me. "People say it's quirky, but I think it is authentic.
"She doesn't march down these red carpets like a show monster," the former Pushing Daisies star continued. "You see these girls and they're all just like, 'I'm living the fantasy. I'm wearing $10,000 worth of clothes and jewelry.' Kristen's just not like that. Kristen is just her."
The same for Mr. Pattinson. "The thing about him that is so charming is what you see is what you get," Pace said. "He is as charming and humble and handsome as he presents himself. Totally what you see is what you get with him."
Pace also said that director Bill Condon's take on the movies is a bit more "dark" than the previous three movies. "Bill Condon is cooling up these movies," he said. "I hope that doesn't get me in trouble with anyone, but he's cool...He really is killing it with this one. He's making it cool. Bill is finding that stuff and letting it be as shocking as it can be, but stylish, too."
Pace returns to filming Breaking Dawn this week after taking a three-week vacation to India. "I wear bright red contacts," he said. "I feel so plain and boring when I take them out."
And Twilight isn't the only thing on Pace's mind these days. He also costars in Ceremony, an indie comedy from first-time director Max Winkler that hits theaters April 8, with Uma Thurman.
Pace plays Thurman's fiancé in the film while Michael Angarano (yes, Stewart's ex!) portrays a young man infatuated with her and intent on ruining their wedding plans. "Uma Thurman's pretty great!" Pace said. "Kill Bill is actually one of my all-time favorite movies. Her and Darryl Hannah beating the shit out of each other in a trailer? I love it!"
And it was just announced that Pace has joined the cast of the upcoming Broadway production of The Normal Heart with Ellen Barkinand Jim Parsons. The play focuses on the rise of the AIDS crisis in New York City from 1981 to 1984.
