Is there a détente between Mr. Adonis and his ex?
A day after Charlie Sheen celebrated his firing from Two and a Half Men by waving a machete atop a roof in downtown L.A., an expected court hearing in his child-custody spat with Brooke Mueller was indefinteily postponed, according to the 45-year-old actor's attorney.
"No court today," Sheen's legal eagle Mark Gross tells E! News.
What magical warlock spell was at work? Here's what Sheen has to say.
At home prepping for his latest online rant tonightin which he plans to deliver his "manifesto" Sheen exclusively tells E! News that "cooler heads have prevailed" in his tyke tug-of-war with Mueller and that the duo seem to have sorted out their problems for now.
The same goes for his two daughthers with Denise RichardsSam, who turns 7 tomorrow, and Lola, 5.
"Denise is lovely," he tells us.
Gross declined to elaborate on any sort of deal Sheen and Mueller may have hammered out ("I'm hoping I will have more to say later," he tells us), but one of the sticking points had been Brooke's insistence that a third-party monitor keep an eye on the kids while they're with Charlie.
Last week, Mueller obtained a restraining order against him and got a judge to order the couple's 2-year-old sons, Bob and Max, handed over to the care of her mother, Moira Fiore.
The twins had been staying with Sheen at his "goddess"-infested Mulholland estate, aka Sober Valley Lodge.
A hearing in that case is set for March 22provided the trolls don't intervene.

Amanda Seyfried and Robert Pattinson have the two hottest mag covers out right nowand notice how we didn't say sexiest?
Seriously, what's with the strange movement where smokin' hot A-listers are paired with mood-killing critters? Crocodile DunPattinson came out last week, and now Elle's April cover story features the gorgeous Seyfriedalong with a goat, a cat and a goose, just to name a few.
But unlike our beloved Rob, who barely touched on his "traumatic" relationship with Kristen Stewart, Amanda let loose on her past Hollywood men!
Did you know she even dated one of our fave vamps?
"We dated. He's superfunny, but I was too involved with Dom."
Dom meaning Dominic Cooper, her ex who not only cheated on her with Lindsay Lohan in Cannes (this is a fact folks, trust) but apparently put the gorg blonde through hell before.
"I was just kind of foolishly thinking that the two of them were done and Dom and I were involved," Seyfried candidly dished about Dom and what she thought was his ex. "But we weren't really as involved as I thought. So I got my heart broken pretty hard."
Pictures and animal pairings aside, we loved what Seyfried had to say. Hollywood needs to be more open sometimes at kissing and telling!
She's hardly parading for the paparazzi every chance she gets, but we think celebs personal lives are fair game during a sit down like this.
As for her recent fling Ryan Phillippe? Babe nailed that answer, too.
"Um, yeah. I've been 'seen' with him," she said.
Are we the only ones who were kind of won over by her openness? Hearted the babe before, but this attitude is totally refreshing for us to see in Hollywood. Don't you think?

Prince William, Kate Middleton Check Out Westminster Abbey's Orchestra
Prince William and Kate Middleton
With the Royal Wedding just around the corner, Britain's most-watched couple made a discreet visit to Westminster Abbey Monday night the first joint appearance by Prince William and Kate Middleton at the chapel set to serve as backdrop to their nuptials.
The visit's purpose? Sorting out the musical arrangements for the April 29 ceremony.
William, 28, and his bride-to-be, 29, alongside the groom's father, Prince Charles, arrived in a dark blue Jaguar around 8 p.m. Once inside, the trio sat in a pew a few rows from the altar while a full orchestra and a boy's choir rehearsed.
They "listened to some of the music that will be played at the wedding, but not all of it," a senior royal source tells Britain's Express newspaper. "The orchestra also had a few pieces that they had wanted the bride and groom to hear."
The couple were advised by Prince Charles, who has "always taken a close interest in classical and church music," the source says, and they will have chosen which music will be used and which they wanted to omit.
"They looked relaxed and seemed to enjoy themselves," says the source. "They are obviously very keen that everything should be right on the big day."
Pete Wentzdoes NOT want his soon-to-be-ex wife Ashlee Simpsonto get primary physical custody of their 2-year-old son Bronx -- as she's requested -- and now he's taking her on in court ... TMZ has learned.
Wentz just filed legal papers in response to Ashlee's divorce petition ... asking the judge for JOINT physical and legal custody of their son. In her divorce petition, Ashlee checked the box that indicated she wanted primary physical custody.

And while Ashlee didn't specify the official break-up date in her papers -- Pete says the two called it quits on Feb. 9 ... just days after Pete came home from a wife-less trip to Dallas for the Super Bowl.
I said, I like my jitos in a soda cup! Is this humidity making my hair look bad?
If you havent seen it by now, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was caught on camera dancing during Carnival yesterday while watching Gisele Bundchen ride by on a float. Now, Im not going to criticize the mans skills because Im white and have exactly one move where I pretend Im humping a really tall giraffe, but I dont see how anyone can sack him again without getting a phone call from the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Theres no way thats not a hate crime.

Don't mess with Snow White.
Especially if Kristen Stewart is playing her...
As you may have heard, the Twilight starlet is in final negotiations to take on the fairest of them all role in Snow White and the Huntsman.
"I love it," Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke told us last night at the Hollywood premiere of her new flick, Red Riding Hood. "She's going to be a bad ass, learning how to hunt. That is perfect for Kristen!
"She's an athlete," Hardwicke continued. "She's a kick-ass chick. She's going to do good in that."
On Lady Gaga's 2009 smash The Fame Monster, the eccentric star hooked up with one of the fiercest ladies in the game when she and Beyoncé got their party on for the club anthem "Telephone." The singers then appeared together in an over-the-top music video in which they played a Quentin Tarantino-esque version of Thelma and Louise.
As the May 23 release date of Gaga's latest musical opus Born This Way draws near, the singer's little monsters are wondering if the star has secured any A-list talent for a collaboration on the new album.
In a recent radio chat, Gaga revealed that she's not planning on having anyone guest on Born This Way, according to Digital Spy. "I want to stand on my own two feet. I've already collaborated with my favorite female in the business," she teased. "We'll see how I'm feeling when I'm wrapping up the album."
With the anticipation for the record so high, fans are beginning to piece together the puzzle of BTW. Reported lyrics for her second single, "Judas," have already hit the Internet. On the track, Gaga waxes poetic about a lover whom she loves more than he loves her.
"Judas/ You never ever never/ Ever really ever loved me more, than I/ But Nemesis is watching over-high," she reportedly sings. "And this is your time/ Judas, lie on lie, write/ Tears drop 'cause I cry/ The echo truth killed you so you may finally die."
Lyrics for another BTW track, "Government Hooker," also reportedly found their way onto the Internet. A remix of the song debuted last week at the Thierry Mugler fashion show in Paris.
On the song, Gaga sings, "We had our night/ Our real nature/ No more time to decide/ Let it climb, let it ignite/ I can be cool/ I can be anything/ I'll be your everything/ Just touch me baby."
Avril Lavigne covered Kesha's Tik Tok hit in the Radio 1 Live Lounge. The song sounds a lot different the way Avril performed it. She slowed it down. "Tik Tok" doesn't sound as good without Kesha's edginess. Take a look:
Just one day after Collins's rep told PEOPLE that the former Genesis frontman has no intention of retiring, the musician himself addressed recent rumors about future of his career, in a message posted on his Web site Tuesday.
"Many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted," Collins, 60, writes. "Therefore, I would like to add my comments and try to explain again my reasons for calling it a day."
Collins knocks reports that he's leaving the music scene over bad reviews, mistreatment by the media or because "I don't feel loved." Instead, he says, "I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis."
After thanking his "very large fanbase that loves what I do," the Grammy-winning musician adds that he's not some "tormented weirdo who thinks he was at the Alamo in another life."
Reiterating his gratefulness to fans for their well wishes, he adds, "It means a lot that you care. But there's no need for the straitjacket!"
Collins does not refer to any health issues, which have been reported as why he's taking a break from work. An article in FHM magazine cites a dislocated vertebra, lost hearing and nerve damage as fueling Collins's decision to quit music.
"Stoker" is a secretive project, to say the least, but the cat or, should we say, the bat might finally be out of the bag.
The Daily Mail has a very matter-of-fact report stating that Firth is playing a vampire in "Stoker." We already knew that "Stoker" centered on a young woman (Wasikowska) who is visited by her estranged uncle (Firth) after the death of her father, but if Firth is playing a literal blood-sucker, that's taking things to a much darker place than we originally expected.
And it's going to get very dark indeed if there's truth to this report. The Daily Mail details some of the violence contained within "Stoker," scenes that would require Firth to stab one victim in the neck with a pair of scissors while beating another to death with a tree branch. And here we were thinking that fangs were deadly enough on their own!
Let's wait and see how "Stoker" progresses before outright labeling it as a vampire movie, but for now, we're even more intrigued about a project we were already tremendously excited for. The stuttering king turned crimson-stained monster? Just tell us where to buy our tickets and we'll be there!

The Perp: Katy Perry, at Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's prêt-à-porter show in Paris
Ooh la la, the singer may be trying a little too hard to get into character with this Smurfette takes the City of Light look during French Fashion Week. (She's the voice of the female Smurf in the animated movie hitting theaters this August.) On its own merits, this Gallic-inspired tunic dress is très chic, but would it have killed Katy to go as herself?
What do you think of Perry's follicular nod to the little blue people? Write a clever caption below and we'll post our favorite here and on our Facebook page.
When the $65 million Broadway mega-production 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' was entrusted to Julie Taymor, it seemed like nothing could go wrong. The Tony Award-winning director of the enormously successful 'The Lion King' was essentially a fail-safe to lead the biggest musical production in Broadway history. And with a score by living rock legends U2's Bono and The Edge, the show's destiny as a wild success seemed set in stone.
But Taymor's genius vision took on a life of its own before the first rehearsal even started, before the first nail was ever hammered into the set. One near-bankruptcy, one major cast overhaul, five delayed openings, four cast injuries (one nearly fatal) and a slew of scathing reviews later, the production looks nowhere near ready for its March 15 opening. And, according to The New York Times, the producers are in talks for a major creative overhaul, which might even include saying goodbye to Taymor.
According to anonymous sources, the negotiations, which took place on Monday, involved expanding Taymor's team so she has more creative support. There was also talk of rewriting the script and score and, once again, setting a new date for its release. But the most drastic piece of information to emerge from the talks was the possibility of Taymor walking away.
Taymor, who was initially recruited by Bono and The Edge when the duo first came up with the idea for the superhero musical, has been their creative partner from the get-go. Despite admitting that the production is flawed, she has asserted that it's headed in the right direction. But if the producers' ideas, or, more likely, demands, for improvements don't align with Taymor's ambitious vision, they have no qualms about showing her the door.Tweet
