The Sundance Film Festival kicked off this week and celebs in attendance were forced to ditch the warm Los Angeles weather for a much chillier Park City, Utah. Fortunately, though, they were able to conquer the cold with stylish abandon by sporting unique head-gear and perfectly proportioned puffer coats.
Trendy Toppers (Above):
Eliza Dushku hit the town with her beau, Rick Fox, on Jan. 22 in layered look that included a rugged accessories like feathered felt hat and lace-up wedge boots.
In Park City, Utah to promote independent film "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and horror movie "Silent House" Mary Kate and Ashley's little sister Elizabeth Olsen was wandering around Main Street on Jan. 22 wearing a red beanie hat, beige scarf and black jacket.
"My Idiot Brother" actress Zooey Deschanel kept her toes warm in a pair of Tory Burch jacquard rain boots while picking up some free swag at an event on Jan. 23. We also adore the ladylike swing coat and adorable earmuffs.
Practical Puffer Coats:
"Homework" star Emma Roberts stepped out on Jan. 24 donning a shiny, back puff jacket and Current/Elliott skinny jeans. The niece of Julia Roberts listens to her own advice: to beat the winter chill and stay stylish, she told Access Hollywood she relied on "cute jackets and jeans."
Elizabeth Banks picked up a chic Woolrich John Rich & Bros coat at the Variety Studio on Main Street where she promoted "My Idiot Brother" with her co-stars Paul Rudd and Dechanel on Jan. 23.
Sporting a Moncler "Merin" hooded coat on Jan. 22, "The Ledge" star Liv Tyler walked along Main Street wearing a black trapper hat, denim shirt and toting a grey Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag.

Vietnam War Saves 'CHiPs' Star from Jail
Larry Wilcox – star of the '80s show “CHiPs” -- was spared a jail sentence for his role in a financial scheme ... partly because he fought in the Vietnam War.
Wilcox -- had recently pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and was facing up to five years in federal prison. Instead, Wilcox was sentenced to 3 years probation and 500 hours of community service.
After Wilcox shed a few tears inside the courtroom, the judge explained the actor was spared the slammer because of his service in Vietnam coupled with his extensive record of community service.
Wilcox joined the Marines in 1967 and spent 13 months in Vietnam as an artilleryman.
Semper Fi.

'Housewives' Star -- Big Trouble for Lil' League Beer
Baseball and beer go together like peanut butter and jelly -- unless the game is going down at a little league field ... and "Desperate Housewives" star Doug Savant learned that lesson the hard way.
TMZ has learned Savant was recently suspended by his kid's L.A. little league -- after a concerned parent noticed the actor secretly downing a brew out of a paper cup while in the stands
We're told the parent in question confronted Doug -- calling him out for violating park rules -- and the poor guy had to face the Board of Directors soon after the incident.
Savant -- who's actually president of the damn league -- was suspended for an entire weekend. He couldn't be reached for comment.

'Top Chef' Star's Baby Daddy: I Want Custody!
The baby daddy of "Top Chef" star Padma Lakshmi has filed legal papers to wrestle custody away from her ... TMZ has learned.
Adam Dell -- brother of the computer king -- filed papers today in a Manhattan court. Under an out-of-court agreement, Adam has visitation rights to see his 11 month old daughter, Krishna Thea Lakshmi, 9 days a month.
That agreement, sources say, is in effect until February 20, when Krishna turns 1. Both Adam and Padma were discussing a custody arrangement after Krishna's birthday, but the negotiations recently fell apart.
Sources tell us ... Adam is still furious over the name Padma chose for the baby. We're told two days after Krishna was born, Adam went to the hospital and launched into a 4-hour tirade over the name.
Adam, who had an intermittent relationship with Padma, was also complaining he was only allowed to see the baby 7 hours a week, though sources connected with Padma say she has never denied him a day of visitation.
Sources connected with Padma tell TMZ ... she feels "bullied" by Adam and wants to handle this in private, for the sake of the baby. We're told Padma -- who is not receiving child support -- has made it clear to Adam she wants nothing to do with him other than raising the baby, and feels this is Adam's way of forcing a relationship.

Tiny Porn Star -- Fashion Industry Hates Little People
Howard Stern's favorite 79-pound porn star claims the fashion world is so obsessed with plus size people -- that the needs of TINY women have been ignored -- and now she's doing something about it.
TMZ has learned ... Lil' Lupe Fuentes has launched her own fashion line geared at the little people called Sexy Little Angel -- and the only sizes she offers are Small, Petite and Tiny.
Lupe -- who's 4'9" -- tells us, "In America, there are all of the plus size stores for those who are big, or overweight, when the ideal for many is to be thin and fit."
She adds, "I have nothing against women who are overweight, but I can’t shop in their stores."
Clearly, she's never been to Abercrombie, Guess, Splendid, Alice and Olivia, Forever 21, Baby Gap..

Jackson's Doc Pleads not Guilty in Star's Death
Michael Jackson's doctor pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the pop superstar's death as the case moved rapidly toward a trial that will likely be televised.
"Your honor, I am an innocent man," Murray told Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor in a soft voice. "I definitely plead not guilty."
Lawyers for Murray, who is accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and other sedatives, said they would be ready to go to trial within the 60-day statutory time limit, which would make for an unusually speedy trial.
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren said the prosecution would be ready to go as well. The judge scheduled the trial to begin March 28 and set a pretrial hearing for Feb. 7.
"Dr. Murray is looking forward to finally telling his side of the story," defense attorney Ed Chernoff said outside court.
Asked why the defense wants to begin the trial so quickly, Chernoff said, "Dr. Murray has been waiting 22 months for his opportunity to do this. It's the first chance we have to force the issue."
Pastor said he was inclined to allow television coverage of the trial and will hear attorneys' views on that and other issues at a Feb. 7 hearing.
District attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said outside court that her office has a policy of not opposing cameras in court. Cameras were allowed at the hearing Tuesday for the first time, marking a shift in Pastor's previous ban.
One of Murray's lawyers said earlier he would not seek a plea bargain, and the defense had no qualms about going to trial in spite of strong prosecution evidence at a preliminary hearing aiming to prove the doctor's gross negligence killed Jackson.
"We're going to go to trial," defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan said in an interview. "I think our case is really solid. We were very pleased with the way the evidence went at the preliminary hearing... This should result in an acquittal."
Gibbons declined to comment on whether a plea bargain had been discussed saying it would be unethical to address such a matter.
Defense attorneys not connected to the case said Murray would be well advised to plea bargain.
"If I were advising him, I would be talking to the district attorney to see what they would be willing to accept," said criminal defense attorney Steve Cron. An offer of probation with community service and temporary suspension of Murray's medical license would be worth considering if it were proposed, he said.
Pastor has suspended Murray's license to practice in California pending trial.
Legal experts said several defenses are available to Murray. Among them is the suggestion by his lawyers that Jackson, desperate for sleep, self-administered a fatal dose of propofol while Murray was out of the room. That theory would mean Jackson either injected propofol into an IV line or swallowed the drug, which is meant to be administered intravenously during surgery.
Prosecution experts are likely to challenge that scenario. They also could say Murray was negligent in leaving the drug on a night stand where Jackson could reach it.
"They've got to explain why Dr. Murray was giving him propofol in the first place, in a setting where it is not normally given," said Cron, who has been watching the case.
Murray may have to testify in his own defense to provide the answers, Cron said. Chernoff said the defense has not yet made a decision on that possibility.
"My guess is he will have to explain some of these things and present his persona to the jury as a reasonable, competent doctor," Cron said.
If convicted, Murray could face a maximum of four years in prison.
In a six-day preliminary hearing, a portrait emerged of a doctor trying to help his famous client overcome debilitating insomnia with propofol, which is not intended for home use. Jackson had used it before and demanded it, calling it his "milk."
A coroner testified that Jackson, 50, died of a propofol overdose in combination with other drugs on June 25, 2009. His death was classified as a homicide.
Murray's behavior before and after Jackson stopped breathing was detailed by household staff and paramedics. It was backed up with phone records, e-mails and, most importantly, a transcript of Murray's nearly three-hour interview with police.
Murray said he gave Jackson a low dose of propofol after spending 10 hours trying to get him to sleep using other drugs. When the star appeared to doze off, Murray said he left the room for two minutes to go to the bathroom then returned to find Jackson not breathing.
He delayed calling 911 for between 25 minutes and an hour while he tried to revive him, testimony showed.

'Pretty Little Liars' Star Determined to Succeed on Her Own Terms
Fans of ABC Family's addictive teen mystery, 'Pretty Little Liars' can expect things to head south for wealthy Spencer Hastings in coming weeks -- but in real life things are getting better and better for the actress who brings Spencer to life, Troian Bellisario.
Series creator Marlene King has indicated that the storyline is heating up for the mysterious Ian (Ryan Merriman), who up and eloped with Spencer's cruel older sister Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) in the series' winter premiere -- even though Ian had already kissed Spencer and interacted in an unfaithful kind of way with Alison, the murder victim at the heart of 'Liars.'
"For someone who prides herself on being in control so much of her life, Spencer gets to be the person with the least amount of control, especially with what happens as the season continues," Troian tells PopEater. "Really fun things happen to Spencer."
Really fun things have been happening for 'PLL,' what with ratings doubling and a second season already ordered for the show, which has been described as a sort of "Desperate Housewives" for the younger set.
"The great thing is, each of the girls have something about them that you can relate to – Aria (Lucy Hale), Hanna (Ashley Benson), Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Spencer," notes Troian.
She clearly favors her own role. "I cannot even tell you how much I love Spencer. She's so close to my heart, personally," says the 25-year-old beauty, whose father, Don, is the long-time industry powerhouse producer behind shows including 'NCIS,' 'JAG,' 'Magnum P.I.' and 'Quantum Leap' -- and whose mother is actress Deborah Pratt.
"We have very kindred spirits in that we're type A superachievers. We have the same kind of drive. She's the same place I was at one point, trapped in the expectations of the community and her parents, their ideals of what perfect is supposed to be. She's sort of so reined in – she needs to be shaken up."
That country club worker Spencer has been making out with, Diego (Diego Boneta) certainly seems like a shaker upper.
How did Troian herself shake out of that place?
"A lot of failing," she responds, "a lot of falling on my face. Truthfully, I didn't get out of it until I got out of high school and went to college."
Troian pushed herself hard while a student at L.A.'s tony Campbell Hall prep school, aiming to excel in all departments. "My whole life, I joined everything I could -- every club, every sports team. I was really unhappy through a lot of it, there was just so much pressure," she admits.
"The school was the sort of environment that, when they see that someone wants to be the best, they will absolutely push you. It wasn't just getting into an Ivy League, it how many Ivy League schools accepted you. It was becoming valedictorian of the class." Which she was.
"I was applying to schools I didn't even know if I wanted to be in – except I 'should' want to be in them," recalls Troian, who excelled in history, math and other subjects.
She wanted to pursue acting, but recalls being told, "'Oh, you're so smart, too smart to be an actress.'" She laughs slightly.
Having grown up in the Hollywood world, she says she felt like responding, "'You have no idea how hard it is to be an actress.'
"I had an awareness of how tough it really is from my parents. To me, it's never been, 'You get to be a star!' It's been things like putting on a brave face when they ask you to reshoot a scene at the end of a hard day's work."
How did her parents feel about her acting aspirations?
"My parents were pretty supportive. I don't know how much my dad wanted me to be an actress all my life, but he never denied me of it." Indeed, Troian was able to get her feet wet doing guest roles on 'Quantum Leap,' 'JAG,' 'NCIS' and other Bellisario productions.
"I had the opportunities and I took them for the experience. I was always aware of the nepotism. I didn't feel respect on the set," she continues with a strikingly matter-of-fact candor. "I didn't focus on what I was doing. I focused on, 'These people think I'm only here for one reason, because of my dad.' I didn't like it."
Things got better once she found a home at USC, studying theater. By then, she was firmly committed to her decision that "not only do I want to be an actress, I want to be one on my own and be good at it on my own."
It wasn't until her junior year that her father finally told her she had become the real thing.
"He came to see me in a play – he at that point had seen me in a couple of plays – and he took me to dinner afterward and told me how much he liked my performance. It was pretty cool."
The play was The Crucible, and Spencer had the lead role of that 1690's bad girl, Abigail, the scorned woman who touches off the Salem witch hunt with her twisted accusations. By that point, "I'd had to learn to let go of the need for his, or anyone's approval. But I'm grateful to have it."
As for her personal life, Troian is "absolutely looking forward to having my own family" one day -- "but personally, I have a lot of things to work out before I get there," she says with a smile. "Right now I'm in this blessed period of having a family that I choose to run with in this kind of pack of friends."
She enjoys hanging out with her 'PLL' pack as well, she says, though their time together is pretty much limited to the set. "You know what, it's that we work together Monday through Friday, sunup past sundown," she notes, "and I think the girls want to be with their boyfriends and families when they finish work."
So far, Troian has been rolling along with new-found fan attention just fine. "Everyone I've talked to has been really sweet, telling me they love the show. It's so awesome."
But she's one TV starlet who is not going to allow the sweet taste of success to carry her away. "Everybody's really been positive about the show, and I'm really grateful and want people to enjoy it. But I don't know how much I'm really into celebrating. What you have to love is the work, not the success," she explains.
"My dad told me that night after seeing me in The Crucible that I had done a great job, but the next day one of my favorite teachers told me I had ruined the play for her – that in so many ways I could have gone further. So it's like, I can't attach myself to a negative position, or a positive position. I just take them in."

'Deadliest Catch' Star Hit By Long Arm of the Claw
One of the guys on "Deadliest Catch" got in some serious hot water with Alaska law enforcement after officials discovered something fishy on his crabbing license ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us .... Crosby Leveen -- one of the deckhands on the F/V Wizard -- was hooked in a routine license inspection when authorities noticed he lied about his residency on his license application in an effort to save a few bucks.
Officials tell us out-of-state fishermen, like Crosby, will sometimes try to claim Alaska residency because license fees are cheaper for AK residents.
As for Leveen -- who lives in Maine -- he pled guilty last week to commercial fishing with an invalid crew license and had to pay $440 in fines and related fees.

Marsh and Bollinger Star in Australian Victory
Shaun Marsh wasn't deemed good enough to be in Australia's World Cup squad, but in his first outing as Mike Hussey's injury replacement he cracked a brilliant hundred to lift his team from a hopeless position to 46-run victory at Hobart. Marsh's 110 rescued the hosts from two collapses, then England put together a poor run chase as Doug Bollinger completed a fine all-round match with four wickets.
Australia's top order slumped to 4 for 33 and, following a 100-run stand between Marsh and Cameron White, they slipped to 8 for 142, before Marsh turned the game on its head. But his matchwinning effort wouldn't have been possible without Bollinger, who showed previously unknown batting prowess to hit 30 in an Australia record ninth-wicket stand of 88.
Marsh was given a life on 61 when Ajmal Shahzad dropped a return chance and went from 84 to 101 in the space of one Michael Yardy over, the 45th of the innings, with two boundaries through midwicket followed by a six in the same direction to bring up his hundred from 101 balls. The run chase should still have been within England's grasp but they never formed a solid foundation.
Bollinger was key to that when he extracted Andrew Strauss and Kevin Pietersen with consecutive balls. Strauss was struck on the back leg and was happy to take the umpire's lbw verdict, only to be talked into a wasted review by Jonathan Trott. Pietersen then got an inside into the stumps, although Bollinger missed a hat-trick when Ian Bell pulled wide of short fine-leg.
Bollinger later returned to snuff out any last-ditch charge from the lower order when he had Tim Bresnan, batting with a runner due to a calf strain, caught at third man and trapped James Tredwell lbw in a performance that has confirmed his World Cup credentials.
However, Australia's victory came at a cost. Nathan Hauritz suffered what appeared to be a dislocated shoulder when he dived in the outfield, and it was shocking luck for a player making his first appearance since the start of the Ashes. He left the field and went straight to hospital in serious pain. A short while later, Shaun Tait limped out of the attack five balls into his sixth over having pulled a muscle in his left thigh.
England's innings had made a poor start when Matt Prior marked his recall in opposite style to Marsh with a third-ball duck when he edged Brett Lee to first slip. There was no shortage of pace from the Australia attack and Trott had no clue about the bouncer from Tait which he gloved over the slips.
However, Trott and Bell began to settle the run chase only for it all to come unravelling as the evening closed in on Hobart's first floodlit one-day international. After the fire and brimstone from the quicks, the sight of Steve Smith would have been a signal to increase the tempo but instead Trott pulled his second ball straight to midwicket.
With Michael Clarke sensing a crucial moment he recalled Lee, who snaffled Bell with a wide delivery that was cut to point. It continued the trend in the early stages of this series of England handing Australia wickets on a plate. Yardy and Eoin Morgan suggested a fightback and their pair opted for the Powerplay in the 34th over only for Morgan to be superbly caught by Tait running towards the boundary and Yardy run out.
England will ask themselves some serious questions about how they twice let Australia off the hook. The pick of the attack was Chris Tremlett, another World Cup discard, who claimed 3 for 22 and Ajmal Shahzad also claimed three but the problem came in a lack of incisive support for the three main quick bowlers with the absence of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann.
This was the same England pace attack that played against Australia A here in November when they were classed as the reserve unit to the Test trio, but with Anderson and Broad still away from the squad they are currently the main men. Shahzad found early swing and took Watson's inside edge into the stumps with Brad Haddin following in similar fashion as he tried to drive.
That left the out-of-form Clarke under pressure to steady the innings. It was a situation made for Test-style batting and Clarke battled against the moving ball without ever threatening fluency except for one flick over midwicket off Shahzad. However, the manner of his dismissal won't have done him any favours when he slapped a wide ball straight cover to leave Australia 3 for 21.
David Hussey was then well caught in the gully when he fended at Tremlett. Without his brother to guide a rescue mission Australia needed someone else to bail them out of trouble. The innings was first revived by White, who was struck a painful blow on the glove by Tremlett early on, and Marsh as they negotiated the tough period before cashing in against the reduced threat of England's spinners. Marsh did an excellent impression of the man he has replaced, Mike Hussey, as he latched onto anything loose and showed good footwork.
White is more of a stand-and-deliver batsman and they formed a productive pair which also benefited from the left-right-hand combination that made life tougher for the bowlers. The momentum was just switching to Australia with White using his feet to elegantly drive Yardy through the covers, but next ball pushed back a return catch on 45.
That began Australia's second slide of the innings and when Lee missed a straight ball from Yardy the end was coming quickly, but confidence is slowly returning to this team and they hauled themselves off the floor in emphatic style.

Former 'Full House' Star Jodie Sweetin Is Engaged
Actress Jodie Sweetin, best known for her portrayal of middle sister Stephanie Tanner on 'Full House,' is engaged to boyfriend Morty Coyle.
Coyle, who fathered Sweetin's 5-month-old daughter Beatrix, popped the question in front of family and friends at Sweetin's 29th birthday celebration at Los Angeles' Kibitz Room.
PEOPLE reports that despite the diamond decorations Sweetin's friends had set up around the event space to hint at what was to come, Coyle's proposal with a two-and-a-half-carat oval sapphire and diamond ring came as a shock to the actress.
"It was a complete surprise," says Sweetin. "We are just thrilled and I am in shock still!"
Despite her happiness, Sweetin says that the couple's bond was cemented long before Coyle presented the ring. "We were absolutely committed before this, anyway. We're just so excited."
Although the couple are in no rush to the altar, Sweetin and Coyle are excited to spend their lives together raising Beatrix and Sweetin's 2-year-old daughter, Zoie, from a previous marriage.
The couple, both of whom are vocal gay rights advocates, say that they will plan the timing of their nuptials around the legalization of gay marriage across America.
"We want to wait until there's equality for everybody to get married," says Coyle, adding that he's happy with their choice to become engaged. "Just because we weren't married doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a ring."

'Twilight' Star Talks Privacy, Money in Vogue
Kristen Stewart is living an atypical life for a 20-year-old.
Ever since she took on the role of Bella Swan in the "Twilight" films, she's crossed over into youth-idol status where emotions run high and she has zero privacy.
The actress says in the February issue of Vogue magazine that she can't go to a shopping mall and that it bothers her she can't be outside often.
Stewart is working on the final two films in the saga and says her wish is for the fans to be happy with the outcome.
Now that "Twilight" has made her a star, Stewart tells the magazine, she's trying to figure out what to do with the money she's made from her work. Stewart says it would be "amazing" to help fund halfway houses for people who need their kind of support.

Alec Baldwin: Rooney Mara Is Going To Be ‘The Biggest Movie Star Of Her Generation’
She may not have had a leading role in “The Social Network,” but Alec Baldwin thinks Rooney Mara has an astronomical career ahead of her.
“This girl’s going to be the biggest movie star of her generation,” Alec Baldwin told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush of the actress, and football dynasty daughter (she has ties to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Rooney family, as well as the New York Giants on the Mara side), who is currently filming her starring role as Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”
Alec hit the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and while he was nominated for his own work – on “30 Rock” (a category which Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory” eventually won), the celebrated actor said his interest in the ceremony was to praise some of his fellow celebs.
“I got this award three times in the last four years or something like that and they’ve always been very nice to me, but the excitement for me, as I’m sure it is for you, is to see films this year that you really dug and you get to see somebody. Like, I want to go tell Michelle Williams how much I loved her in ‘Blue Valentine,’” Alec said.
“I want to tell Christian Bale how great he was in ‘The Fighter.’ I want to tell Ben Affleck how great he was in ‘The Town,’” Alec continued. “I saw a bunch of films this year where I thought, ‘Man, people really, really have done great work.”
In related Alec news, a few weeks ago, Patti Stanger of Bravo’s “The Millionaire Matchmaker” came on Access Hollywood Live, and at the time, she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that she thinks Alec would be perfect with Denise Richards.
“Why did she say that?” Alec asked Billyt.
“She said he needs a woman that can test him,” Billy replied.
Alec actually seemed intrigued by the idea.
“I think Denise Richards is absolutely adorable and she’s certainly a gorgeous woman and I had a psychic once tell me I’m going to marry a woman whose name started with the letter ‘R,’” Alec revealed.

'Jersey Shore' Star to Ditch the Nickname?
Could this be the last we hear of Snooki? Maybe, according to 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
Since rising to fame -- or, to some, infamy -- Polizzi's real name has fallen to the wayside to make room for her catchy moniker, which has become synonymous with the MTV hit reality show.
But is she getting tired the nickname?
"I miss my real name. I miss people calling me Nicole," she told the AP.
Polizzi, 23, is making the press rounds this month promoting her first book, 'A Shore Thing,' which she co-wrote with a ghostwriter. The book chronicles two girls' adventures during a summer at the Jersey Shore.
Sounds familiar, but maybe it's just us.
On top of her book tour, Polizzi is enjoying the record-setting ratings of MTV's 'Jersey Shore,' which brought in 8.45 million viewers with its third season premiere on Jan. 6, according to the AP.
When asked if there's a possibility of a Snooki spinoff show, a deal similar to cast member Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio's reported new show, Polizzi said it's certainly a possibility.
"Of course, if the opportunity is given to me, I'm gonna run with it," she said. However, there are no current plans in the works.

'You're Cut Off' Star -- Popped for DUI
One of the spoiled, rotten she-brats on the new season of "You're Cut Off" was busted for DUI in West Hollywood last night ... at the SAME TIME her show was premiering on VH1.
TMZ has learned Jennifer Jowett -- the chick who declared on the show, "Ugly people annoy me" -- was pulled over for talking on her cell phone while driving ... and when the officer approached the vehicle, the cop detected alcohol on her breath.
Law enforcement sources tell us, 28-year-old Jowett performed "poorly" on a field sobriety test -- and was then given a breathalyzer. We're told Jowett's blood alcohol content was .10 -- just over the legal limit of .08.
Cops placed Jowett under arrest and took her to a nearby station -- where she was booked and held overnight. We're told she was released around 8:00 AM after posting bail.

Charlie Sheen's XXX Star -- The Bombshell Kiss
Bree Olson -- a member of Charlie Sheen's Las Vegas foursome -- has already tasted scandal once this week ... when she made out with famed Jesse James' mistress Bombshell McGee.
The girl-on-girl action went down at The Palms Hotel on Sunday ... where the next day, Sheen was spotted taking a shot of Grey Goose at a hotel bar.
We're told the vodka session was the tail end of an epic "bender" -- and Bree, along with two mystery porn stars, was with Charlie for some of the action.
But, as TMZ previously reported, Sheen's people are very concerned about the actor's health -- and members of his inner circle have been urging him to check into a rehab program. We're told Charlie doesn't think he has a problem.
But if Charlie kissed Bree ... and she's kissed Bombshell ... and Bombshell's kissed God knows what ... then dude does have a problem -- he should invest in some mouthwash ... stat.

'Green Hornet' Star Edward Furlong in Jail After Violating Restraining Order
Edward Furlong, who has had roles in 'Terminator 2' and most recently 'The Green Hornet', alongside Seth Rogan, has gone from the big screen to behind bars.
According to MSNBC, the actor, 33, successfully showed up in court Tuesday at 10:30 AM for a progress report regarding his probation violation from November. Furlong left threatening messages on the voicemail of his then soon-to-be ex-wife, going against the the restraining order that expressly prohibited this. This made the voicemails a direct violation of the law.
Furlong again breached the restraining order this December, when he came within 50 yards of his ex-wife. Tuesday morning's hearing was set up to address these violations. The judge, however, sent Furlong directly to jail where he now remains on $75,000 bail. His next probation violation hearing is currently set up, ironically, for this upcoming Valentine's Day.
There must not be a lot of love for Furlong from Rogan, the man behind 'Green Hornet.' Rogan starred, wrote and executive produced the big-budget action flick, so $75,000 bond for a friend would be pocket change.

Lindsay Lohan Befriends 'Inception' Star Tom Hardy
Lindsay Lohan, who recently finished a stint in rehab, is on the lookout for sober friends and may have found one in 'Inception' star Tom Hardy.
The pair, who were introduced by mutual friends, have been talking and recently grabbed dinner together, according to TMZ, but it's not what it seems.
Hardy, who is engaged to actress Charlotte Riley, is no stranger to battling addiction -- something to which Lohan can certainly relate. The British actor addressed his addiction early in his career and has been sober since 2003.
While the duo have been spending some sober time together, Hardy's publicist insists that he is not Lohan's sponsor.
Hardy isn't the only friend Lohan has been hanging out with. She recently caught a Lakers-Knicks game in LA with jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad and had dinner with Samantha Ronson.
Perhaps Lohan will take some tips from some of these new friendships and put her legal troubles behind her once and for all.
