Supposedly, his father talked him into going to rehab, so he entered rehab yesterday and his show is on production hiatus for the time being. As for his five kids, his oldest, a daughter named Cassandra is married now. Just got married within that last year or so I believe. I think she's in her early twenties. I hope he can get his life in order. This is supposedly the fifth time he's been in rehab. Sometimes it takes a while for an addict to get sober. Hopefully this fifth time will be the charm for Charlie and he'll get healthier for his sake and his childrens' sakes.
