Sheen marries again
Charlie Sheen, 42, co-star of "Two and a Half Men," tied the knot with fiancée Brooke Mueller, 30, late Friday, said publicist Stan Rosenfield, who declined to give details. The actor and Mueller, a real-estate investor, had been engaged since last summer. People.com reported that Mueller and Sheen exchanged vows in front of about 60 friends and relatives at a private Los Angeles estate. It was the third marriage for Sheen. He married Denise Richards in 2002; they divorced in 2006 and have two daughters. He was briefly married to model Donna Peele in 1995.
In the courts
Hedgehog brings fine
A New Zealand man who assaulted a teen by hitting him with a spine-covered hedgehog has been fined by a court and ordered to pay most of his fine to his victim. Whakatane District Court was told that William Singalargh picked up the hedgehog, a small prickly-backed animal similar to the porcupine, and threw it several yards at a 15-year-old boy in the North Island east-coast town of Whakatane on Feb. 9.

Worrisome proposal
A creative marriage proposal triggered reports of unidentified flying objects from worried Germans this week. Bavarian police say several people called late Wednesday to report unusual lights drifting across the sky above the sleepy town of Plattling. Turns out a 29-year-old man who had just proposed to his 27-year-old girlfriend had accompanied the proposal with 50 paper lanterns that glowed in the night. Police say his girlfriend said "yes."
