Sheen 'beyond happy' at baby news

Charlie Sheen and his new wife Brooke Mueller "couldn't be more excited" at the prospect of welcoming a new addition to their family.

The couple, who wed in May, announced that they were expecting their first baby together on Monday - and Sheen is "beyond happy" at the thought of having a child with Mueller.

He says: "Brooke informed me two days ago that very soon we'd be producing our own version of 'Two-and-a-Half Men'.

"That would imply it's a boy, so until we know, we'll refer to it as 'Two-and-a-Half People'. We're beyond happy to be new parents together."

Mueller adds: "We couldn't be more excited to add to our already big and happy family!"

The actor has three daughters; Cassandra, 23, from his relationship with Paula Profit, and Samantha, four, and three-year-old Lola from his marriage to former James Bond actress Denise Richards.
