Oh, sure: Sheen wants full custody of his kids

Good luck with that.

The family that snorts together, cavorts together? No, that's not right. Obviously not. With the news that his ex-wife has gone to rehab, again, Charlie Sheen has decided this is an excellent time to ask for full custody of his kids. You know, so he can give them a stable, ordinary home life.

It's all very altruistic on his part, although the story notes that should he get full custody, he'll try to cancel child support. Which amounts to $55,000 per month.

That may seem like a lot, but once you've paid the mortgage and the pool boy and those miscellaneous costs that just add up - I mean, how many times have you gone to Target to get groceries, and walk away with a $11,000 bill? Come the fourth week of the month, you're down to generic mac and cheese.
