Charlie Sheen files for divorce from third wife

CHARLIE Sheen filed to end his marriage to his third wife and stated in documents that the couple separated the same day as a Christmas 2009 altercation that led to assault charges against the actor.

The divorce came less than a week after the Two and a Half Men star was briefly treated in hospital in New York City after security at a luxury hotel reported he was being disorderly.

Sheen cited irreconcilable differences for the divorce and indicated in court filings in Los Angeles that the couple have a prenuptial agreement.
