A judge has denied troubled actor Charlie Sheen’s request for full custody of his twin sons because, the judge said, he bragged about his drug use.
Sheen filed the petition for full custody of 2-year-old twin sons Max and Bob after his estranged third wife, Brook Mueller, famously checked back into a drug rehab facility last week.
Judge Hank Goldberg was well aware that Mueller fell off the crack cocaine wagon, but Goldberg decided that Sheen was no better at parenting the boys than Mueller was.
Last week, a “strung out” Mueller was seen on surveillance video acting bizarrely and pacing back and forth inside a pawn shop where she had gone to pawn an expensive men’s watch and a stereo — supposedly so she could score more cocaine.
An employee at the pawn shop told TMZ that Mueller was desperately trying to get cash for the two items… but the shop would not purchase the items because Brooke did not have a valid I.D.
It didn’t matter that Mueller currently rakes in $55,000 a month in child support! All of that cash apparently goes up her nose.
Mueller refused a request for a urine drug test, which is part of her child custody agreement with Sheen.
Radaronline.com reports that Mueller called friends frantically Thursday morning, looking for someone to provide a clean urine sample for her.

Mueller admitted to relapsing into drug use on Wednesday, and it was described as a “little relapse,” according to Radaronline.
Mueller’s mother, Moira Flore, offered to take custody of the kids. She told friends, “We’ve been with the kids since they were born, and Charlie has only seen the kids a couple of times in the last few months.”
Sheen’s ex-wife Denise Richards also offered to take care of the boys.
Both Sheen and Mueller will continue to share joint custody of Max and Bob, even though neither of them are fit to be parents.
The judge “felt both Brooke and Charlie had problems, but the twins were adequately protected by a barrier of nannies, relatives and other support staff,” a source told gossip blog TMZ.com.
Sheen was tight lipped as he emerged from court yesterday, but Mueller smiled from ear-to-ear as she left court flanked by her parents. Mueller said she felt “excellent” when throngs of photographers pressed in around her.
