This disease of addiction is a form of cancer.

Martin Sheen was looking extremely worried outside his house on Saturday just days after son Charlie Sheen was hospitalized following a two day bender which eventually led him to check into rehab.

It was reported that Martin was the one who drove his troubled son to rehab at Promises, where the actor spent 30 days last August following the assault charges filed against him stemming from the Christmas day scuffle with his estranged wife, Brook Mueller.

However, X17online spotted ex-wife Denise Richards visiting Charlie Sheen's house over the weekend, prompting speculation that the actor is actually rehabbing at home.

Throughout all the drama surrounding Charlie in his adult life, his father Martin has always stuck by him, but it seems as if this latest incident is starting to take its toll.

	Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
	I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
	I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
