Brooke in rehab, just babble?

A lawyer for Charlie Sheen’s wife said Wednesday that she’s recovering at a North Carolina wellness center after an infection that nearly took her life.

He denied Internet reports that she was in drug or alcohol rehab.

The Sheens have a Feb. 8 court date in Aspen, Colo., stemming from a domestic violence incident that brought police to their Colorado home on Christmas Day.
