Charlie Sheen had a "normal" day on the set of "Two and a Half Men" Tuesday, according to someone who was there ... but if anyone finds out who leaked the info to TMZ, they'll be fired!
We've learned people on the set got a memo saying they cannot convey any information about what happened on the set or in the production offices ... and if they do they will be terminated.
All in all, we're told, it was "a good day."
Charlie's sober coach was on hand. Sober coaches, however, can only do so much. We've learned Brooke Mueller and Charlie each had sober coaches at the Aspen house on Christmas Day when Brooke blew a .13 and Charlie blew a .04.
Nonetheless, we're told Sheen is doing well, taking rehab seriously, and went back to the facility after work.

Charlie Sheen just arrived at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank to begin shooting the final four episodes of the season for "Two and a Half Men."
Charlie -- who will be on set with his sober coach -- was low profile in the back seat as he entered the lot.
He'll go back to rehab each day and spend the nights there for the foreseeable future.

Charlie Sheen just pled not guilty to felony menacing, misdemeanor third degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
A trial date has been set for July 21.
As we first reported, Sheen would take a plea deal -- but only to a misdemeanor, not a felony. We're told the prosecution is not seeking jail time but wants Charlie to plead to a felony.
Sheen was arrested on Christmas Day after an alleged altercation with his wife, Brooke Mueller.

The prosecution in Charlie Sheen's Aspen case is not looking for jail time, but wants Charlie to either cop a plea to a felony or stand trial ... sources tell TMZ.
As we first reported, Charlie is more than willing to plead guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor with no jail time. And we're told Charlie wants the case dismissed outright at the end of the probationary period.
So the hang-up in cutting a deal is not jail time -- it's whether Charlie pleads to a misdemeanor or a felony. Charlie's position -- prosecutors in Aspen routinely accept misdemeanor pleas for these cases.
But we're told the Aspen D.A. believes Charlie has already gotten one free bite of the apple, because in 1997 he pled no contest to misdemeanor battery in a domestic violence case involving then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland.
We're told the Aspen D.A. feels -- given Charlie's prior -- a felony is appropriate.

Charlie Sheen will plead not guilty today in Aspen -- weather permitting -- to felony menacing and two misdemeanors, but the judge could ask a question that could land Charlie in jail.
Charlie is currently out on bail for the Christmas Day incident involving his wife, Brooke Mueller. One of the conditions of bail -- Charlie can't consume alcohol or use drugs.
Our sources say Charlie has fallen off the wagon since his arrest ... which is why he's currently in rehab. If the judge asks Charlie about rehab during Monday's arraignment and whether alcohol and/or drugs drove him there, Charlie is in a no-win situation.
If he tells the judge he consumed alcohol or used drugs, his bail can be revoked and he could be thrown in jail. If he tells the judge he did not use alcohol or drugs, he could face a perjury charge.
Technically, all Charlie has to do is say two words -- not guilty. The judge isn't required to ask about anything. But if he does ... all bets are off.
Charlie is scheduled to fly out this AM from L.A. to Aspen. Flights were canceled last night because of weather.

With his arraignment looming and his show on the line, Charlie Sheen is ready to plea bargain his felony case in Aspen, sources tell TMZ. But we're told prosecutors are not that eager to deal, at least not right now.
Sources tell us Sheen would plead no contest to a misdemeanor, provided he would not do any jail time. He'd agree to probation and also agree to take anger management classes.
Sheen's biggest bargaining chip is the accuser herself, wife Brooke Mueller, who was under the influence during the alleged Christmas Day assault and is currently in rehab.
And there's something else. People from Brooke's camp tell us she would rather walk on hot coals than testify against Charlie and wants this case to go away, stat.
The fly in the ointment: We're told prosecutors feel they have enough physical evidence to convince a jury that Brooke's original allegations against Charlie are truthful, even if she's shaky on the stand.
Charlie's arraignment in Aspen is set for Monday. He'll be on the "Two and a Half Men" set -- with a sober coach -- beginning Tuesday to film the last 4 episodes of the season.

Charlie Sheen will resume shooting "Two and a Half Men" next week during the day, but he'll go back to rehab at night ... sources tell TMZ.
As we first reported Sheen was going back to the set next week to shoot the remaining 4 episodes of the season.
Our sources tell us Charlie will be in rehab full-time until early Monday morning, when he'll fly to Aspen for his felony arraignment.
He'll come back to L.A. Monday night, where he'll sleep at the rehab facility and then show up on Tuesday to film the show.
We're told after each day on the set Charlie will go directly back to rehab.
As for how he's doing, multiple sources say he's doing great and his doctors have given him the go-ahead to resume filming.

Brooke Mueller is committed to her marriage, with one big but -- Charlie Sheen has to take sobriety seriously ... this according to sources. But people on Charlie's side say bluntly, "She is the problem."
As we first reported, Brooke left rehab and is living at the family home, along with a cadre of therapists. Brooke is saying, "I love Charlie to death," but she feels the only way she can stay sober is if Charlie gives it the ol' college try.
It's interesting ... we're told Brooke is not demanding that Charlie stay sober ... just that he try. She's acknowledging both of them have a huge problem and both are going to slip from time to time. For her part, she's been in rehab multiple times.
But here's what's interesting -- people in Charlie's camp are telling us, "It's Brooke's craziness that is fueling all of this" and that she is the bad influence on him.

The D.A. in Aspen may call Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Denise Richards, to testify about an alleged incident that is eerily similar to the allegations of his current wife, Brooke Mueller.
We're told the Pitkin County D.A. has had law enforcement in L.A. County contact Richard's agent and lawyer, about Denise possibly testifying in Charlie Sheen's criminal case in Aspen. Specifically, sources tell us the D.A. is interested in a declaration Denise signed under penalty of perjury in 2005, when she got a restraining order against the "Two and a Half Men" star.
Richards claimed on December 30, 2005, in the middle of an argument, she was holding their daughter Lola, when Charlie "pushed me, shoving me with his two hands between my shoulders. I was forced backwards and tripped over one of the children's toys and fell on the floor with Lola."
According to the declaration, Charlie then pointed his finger at her and screamed, "I hope you f--king die, bitch." Richards says as Charlie was walking out the front door he said "he was going to have me killed. He said you are f--king with the wrong guy."
Charlie Sheen denied the allegations at the time.
We're told Richards will cooperate, but only if she's forced to do so by subpoena.

Brooke Mueller has left her second rehab facility and gone back to live at the family home ... but this time she's brought all the rehab professionals with her ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us Brooke wanted to be back home with the kids since Charlie Sheen is now in rehab, and she brought along her sober coaches, therapists and others.
One person said there is so much luggage and so many people in the house "It looks like a circus."
We're told Charlie's mom and dad, Martin Sheen, are also living at the house.
As for Charlie, we're told he's "calm and committed" after his first day of rehab.

Jon Cryer told the crew on the "Two and Half Men" set yesterday ... he's squarely behind Charlie Sheen.
Our sources say Cryer told a group of staffers, "The important thing is Charlie gets healthy."
As we first reported, Charlie was a no-show on the "Men" set on Monday and Tuesday. Our sources tell us Charlie decided it was in the best interest of the show -- and his pending court case -- to check himself into rehab.
Although we're told the plan is to resume taping two weeks from Monday, staffers are nervous about their jobs.
