Charlie Sheen wants to be the patriarch of a HUGE "porn family" -- composed of his favorite adult stars -- and he wants them all to live in a mansion down the street from his own house ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to Charlie tell us ... during the infancy stages of Sheen's most recent bender Tuesday night, the actor brought his realtor and some of his XXX lady friends to dinner with his neighbor George Santo Pietro -- Vanna White's ex-husband.
We're told the meal was served in the wine cellar at George's home -- located just two miles from Sheen's place -- and Charlie drank ... A LOT.
During the boozefest, Charlie agreed to rent out George's giant estate for four months -- at the rate of $250k per month -- while George goes away on an upcoming trip to Thailand.
And why does Sheen need an extra mansion? Charlie explained that he wants to start a "porn family" -- and he wants the "actresses" to all live in the same house. One big, smutty family.
The next morning, Sheen's people found out about the deal and were "furious" -- and immediately put a stop to the plans.
So, we gotta ask ...

Pete Wentz Is Ready to Take His Family on the Road
After years of constant touring with Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz has been, as he puts it, in "Dad land for the last year, year and a half." And he's ready to get back out there on tour with new band Black Cards, especially since he can have the best of both worlds.
"The great thing right now is that my family is very mobile and are able to tour with me. And I think that's the only thing that would've been a hurdle. But the fact they're kind of able to go, I want to be back out there," he says of touring alongside wife Ashlee Simpson and their 2-year-old son Bronx in a chat with PopEater. "And it's really cool to be able to see the world and to do it on a record company's dime, so I'd like to kind of do that and I'd like to show my son the world as well."
The former FOB-er and his Black Cards partner Bebe Rexha kicked off 2011 with the online release of the infectious track 'Dominoes,' and the ambitious rocker hopes that's just the opening salvo in a busy year for his new project.
"[We've] been pushing pretty hard for the spring. Gonna finish I think two songs by the end of the week and hopefully one will be the first single if I have any say in it," he says. "And then the spring and hopefully touring full time and getting back out there and into it."
Wentz spoke to PopEater to promote a charity Twitter race he's participating in as a coach of one of four teams. His team and the three others, helmed by Rev. Run Simmons [of Run-DMC fame], New York Yankee Nick Swisher and tennis superstar Serena Williams, respectively, are competing to get to Dallas for the Super Bowl in a race where all of the teams are fueled by tweets. Both Wentz and Simmons plan to have some fun with the competition.
"My management called me and said that Mercedes Benz was having a tweet competition, they called me and said they wanted me to pick my favorite charity and tweet for a good cause," Simmons says. "I'm like, 'That'll be perfect.' The Lower East Side Service Center is who I chose and I'm excited to get in this. I've been already doing a little bit of playing around with Pete Wentz, sent a couple of tweets at each other, posted some jokes, but I'm excited to be a coach."
Wentz, if he wins, has a chance at owning a part of music history. "We started tweeting back and forth and I'm like, 'Well, I'll bet you this pair of Supras,'" Wentz says. "And he's like, 'What about this pair of Adidas that Run-DMC wore?' I'm like, 'Oh, okay, can't really compete with that.'"

But Wentz is also very excited about his charity, one that he picked in part because of his own experiences of being a father. "My charity is St. Jude's Children Hospital. It's really an important charity to me, especially [since] becoming a dad the past two years of my life now and god forbid my son ever got sick," he says. "It's good people who are doing good things for children and Mercedes already made a donation."
The competition, which begins Feb. 2, is a win-win, especially for the coaches, who get money donated to their favorite charities and get tickets to the Super Bowl for their participation. Not bad. Neither Wentz nor Simmons had any predictions for the game, which Wentz admits might surprise some. "I don't know a whole lot about football, the craziest thing about me," he says. "For the amount that I've been surrounded by football, the last time I really, really, really focused on was the '85 Bears, which is kind of insane to say."

Family of Pace Player Plans $120M Suit
The parents of a college football player who was shot dead in his car by police announced Tuesday that they plan a $120 million lawsuit against the suburban towns whose officers were involved.
They also have decided to cooperate with the grand jury investigating the case.
Family lawyer Michael Sussman said the lawsuit over the death of Danroy Henry Jr. would probably be filed in federal court this spring against the town of Mount Pleasant and the village of Pleasantville, just north of New York City. A notice of claim, required before suing, was filed Tuesday in each jurisdiction, he said.
Telephone calls to Pleasantville Administrator Patti Dwyer and Mount Pleasant Supervisor Joan Maybury were not immediately returned Tuesday.
Henry, a 20-year-old Pace University student, was killed Oct. 17 after officers fired at his car as he drove through the parking lot of a shopping center in the New York City suburb Thornwood, near the Pace campus. Police had been called to a disturbance that spilled out of a bar in the shopping center.
Witness accounts of the shooting have differed sharply, and a Westchester County grand jury is investigating. Police have said that Henry sped away and hit Pleasantville Officer Aaron Hess, who has acknowledged shooting at Henry through Henry's windshield. A Mount Pleasant officer also fired at the car.
Sussman has alleged that Hess committed murder, but Hess' lawyer said he was thrown onto the hood of the car by the impact and had no alternative but to shoot.
Autopsy results revealed that Henry had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit for driving. Sussman has disputed that finding.
The notice of claim alleges that the municipalities were negligent in hiring and training officers and the officers were negligent in their use of deadly force.
Amateur video of the aftermath of the shooting reveals "absolute mayhem," Sussman said. There was "an obvious lack of supervision ... that relates to a lack of training," he said.
The $120 million figure in the notice of claim, he said, reflects "the family's valuation to the extent they can give any monetary valuation" of their son's worth.
Henry's father, Danroy Henry, has been asked to testify before the grand jury and has agreed, Sussman said.
"He has things to say" about his son's nature and character, the lawyer said.
Sussman said he and other lawyers in the case met last month with then-Gov. David Paterson to seek a special prosecutor. But the governor felt the Westchester County grand jury investigation would be "a serious enough pursuit of justice," Sussman said.
Sussman has said he doubts the ability of the Westchester district attorney's office to impartially lead the investigation. But on Tuesday he encouraged "all people with knowledge of the situation" to cooperate with the grand jury.
