Actor CHARLIE SHEEN has married his fiancee BROOKE MUELLER in a small, private ceremony in Los Angeles.
The couple, who has been dating for two years, exchanged vows in front of just 60 friends and family members on Friday (30May08).
Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and his actress wife Rebecca Gayheart were among the guests at the wedding. Dane and Gayheart first introduced Sheen to real estate investor Mueller in 2006.
According to People.com, Sheen, 42, persuaded his 30-year-old bride to scale down her wedding plans.
A source tells the website, "Brooke really wanted to walk down the aisle in a big way, but Charlie insisted they keep it simple and small." The newlyweds requested guests make donations to the Chrysalis: Changing Lives Through Jobs charity instead of bringing wedding gifts.
It is the third time up the aisle for Sheen; he was previously married to Donna Peele and former Bond girl Denise Richards.
His two young daughters with Richards, Lola and Sam, were also present at the ceremony.

LINDSAY LOHAN’s mother DINA has refused to confirm or deny rumours the actress is in a lesbian relationship with best pal SAMANTHA RONSON, insisting she just wants her daughter to be "happy".
The Mean Girls star has been keeping gossips guessing as to the nature of her relationship with the DJ sister of producer Mark Ronson for the last six months.

And while the actress’ representative insists the star is just "close friends" with Ronson, Lindsay’s manager mum Dina admits she will not stand in her daughter’s way if she chooses to embark on a romance with the DJ.
Dina tells America’s OK! magazine, "If she’s happy, I’m happy. That’s all I’ll say.

Actor ROB LOWE and his wife SHERYL have formally denied all accusations made against them by their former childminder after filing a response to her sexual harassment lawsuit.
Laura Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family last year (07), has accused Sheryl of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment", claiming her ex-boss quizzed her about the size of her African-American boyfriend’s penis and regularly paraded around the family home naked.
But, in legal papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior court on Friday (30May08), the Lowes have refuted the allegations, insisting they behaved in no such manner.
They have denied every one of her accusations and have made reference to the statute of limitations, claiming Boyce waited too long before suing them.
The Lowes have also called on a judge to dismiss the case because Boyce has "unclean hands", indicating that even if the couple behaved inappropriately towards the nanny, she has also been unprofessional and therefore doesn’t have a righteous case, reports website TMZ.com. Lowe and his wife filed countersuits against Boyce and two other ex-employees on 7 April (08) after claiming they’re the victims of an attempted extortion scheme, led by another former nanny, Jessica Gibson.

Rocker THOM YORKE has reportedly called on PRINCE to allow video footage of his Coachella Festival performance to be made available online - because the RADIOHEAD frontman wants to see the pop superstar’s rendition of CREEP.
Prince stormed the stage at the Californian festival in April (08), playing a string of his hit singles to the 60,000-strong audience.
However, one of the biggest surprises of the night was his cover of classic Radiohead song Creep, which he performed with an added guitar solo and extended falsetto.
Fans’ video footage of the Coachella appearance later appeared online on YouTube.com - but they were soon pulled from the website after its owners were allegedly threatened with legal action.
But the move didn’t go down well with Yorke, who wanted to see the rendition for himself - only to discover the video was no longer available despite owning the rights to his band’s song.
According to reports, when Yorke was told of the internet ban, he said, "Really? He’s blocked it? Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment… well tell him to unblock it, it’s our song." It’s not the first time Prince and executives at his NPG Records label have taken legal action for breach of copyright - in 2007, the star threatened to sue three of his biggest fansites unless they removed images, album artwork and lyrics from their websites.

LATEST: A video forensics expert has shattered R. KELLY’s defence in his child pornography trial after matching a mole on the singer’s back to that of the man in the sex tape at the centre of the case.
The troubled R&B star stands accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl. He has pleaded not guilty to all 14 counts of child pornography.
The Bump N’ Grind hitmaker’s defence team recently told a Chicago, Illinois court that the person in the explicit video could not be their client, because the two men bore key physical differences - most noticeably a dark fingernail-sized mole on the star’s back.
But on Thursday (29May08), the prosecution brought out a forensics expert who appeared to have identified the missing mole.
He compared a photo of Kelly’s back following his arrest in 2002 to several stills of the man’s back in the sex tape.
He told the court: "There is a mark on the man’s back in the exact same position (as Kelly’s)." Thursday’s court proceedings also saw an FBI forensics expert take to the stand, verifying the legitimacy of the tape and insisting it was not a fake.
The testimony of the FBI’s George Skaluae was another blow to Kelly’s defence, as his lawyers have continually argued the tape could have been digitally altered to bear the singer’s likeness.
The trial continues.

Rapper 50 CENT has denied setting fire to his New York home, after his ex-lover suggested he may have been involved.
The Long Island estate - owned by 50 Cent and occupied by his former lover Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son Marquise - was set ablaze in what New York cops have called a "highly suspicious" inferno that raged at 5am (EST) on Friday (30May08).
The home has been at the centre of a bitter dispute between the hip-hop star - real name Curtis Jackson - and Tompkins since last month’s (Apr08) ruling that she and Marquise must leave the rapper’s mansion by the end of 2008.
Tompkins told reporters on Friday (30May08), "He’s upset. If he can’t have it, no one can. He threatened me." But 50 Cent - who was shooting a movie in Louisiana when the blaze took place - insists he had nothing to do with it.
His lawyer Brett Kimmel tells TMZ.com, "Any suggestion that Mr. Jackson had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive."

SUSAN SARANDON has vowed to quit America with her longterm partner TIM ROBBINS if Republican JOHN McCAIN wins November’s (08) presidential election.
The actress is rooting for Democrat contender Barack Obama, and is packing her bags in case he or party rival Hillary Clinton don’t replace George W. Bush in the White House.
She says, "It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people." Sarandon also defends her support of Obama as opposed to Clinton, telling the New York Post, "I thought the whole point of feminism is that you’re not supposed to be defined by gender. I don’t understand the reasoning behind that, because I wouldn’t vote for (U.S. Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice, and I hated (former British prime minister) Margaret Thatcher."
