Charlie Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller leaves sober house to take twins to Kathy Hilton's birthday lunch

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller took some time out from her sober living facility to attend Kathy Hilton's birthday lunch today.

The 32-year-old was accompanied by her adventurous twin sons Bob and Max, two, who wore matching Burberry shorts and brown chinos.

The family are close friends of the Hiltons, with Brooke starring in a new reality show with Kathy's daughter Paris.


Paris and sister Nicky were also at the lunch, at the exclusive Il Cileo restaurant in Beverly Hills, California.

Paris, wearing a short blue skirt and black top, posed with Brooke outside the restaurant.

Brooke is currently undergoing voluntary treatement at a sober living facility, but is not an inpatient.

Despite reports that Brooke was planning on staying out of the spotlight to shelter her son's from the publicity surrounding Charlie Sheen, she seemed happy to have her picture taken.

Earlier this week it was her boys' turn to celebrate as they turned two.

One person not invited, however, was their father Charlie Sheen.

After a fraught two weeks, in which police removed the twins from Sheen's home, Brooke and Sheen, 45, have now agreed a custody deal.


Brooke and Charlie have reached an agreement that resolves their differences,' their lawyers said in a joint statement after two weeks of intense negotiations.

'For the benefit of the children, the terms of their agreement will not be disclosed. They ask the public for privacy on this matter.'

While the details of the deal are private, it is thought Mueller will have physical custody of the children, as initially agreed following her separation from Sheen last year.

As part of the new agreement both she and Sheen will undergo regular drug testing.

With results this spectacular, perhaps she just couldn’t say No.

Kate Winslet, who has waged a one-woman war against the airbrush, appears to have set aside her objections in her latest ad for Lancôme.

The actress, who delights in pointing out her wrinkles, spots and cellulite as Real Woman credentials, has been turned into an unearthly creature of perfection.

The 35-year-old mother of two stars in the campaign for a new lipstick range shot by Mario Testino.

Evidence of the airbrush at work is easy to see when you look at these two pictures.

The one on the left was taken during the shoot and, although she is perfectly made-up, there are a few lines visible around her eyes, along with shadows on her face and even a freckle.

The one on the right is the final product and enough to have the average woman rummaging in her bag for her concealer.

The younger Miss Winslet would have been indignant at any tampering with her image.

In 2003 she complained when a GQ magazine cover shot was digitally altered to make her look slimmer.

And only two years ago she proclaimed: ‘I have wrinkles which are very evident.

'I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, “You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?”’

No doubt one glance at these remarkably flattering portraits convinced her that sometimes a little perfection doesn’t hurt.

He added that all three are 'doing really well' and are keen to get into the entertainment business, with Prince wanting to be a director and Paris an actress. 'I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts,'' Jackie said.
