Sheen Seeks Divorce: Actor Charlie Sheen says he plans to divorce his wife of nearly six months, model Donna Peele, because he was suffocating and “had to come up for air.” In a two-part interview scheduled to conclude tonight, the actor tells “Entertainment Tonight’s” Jann Carl that part of him is still in love with Peele. “I don’t think you just stop loving somebody. It’s not like a faucet and you just turn it off,” he said. Sheen, 30, who appeared in “Platoon,” “Wall Street,” “Hot Shots” and “Major League,” wed Peele, 25, on Sept. 3 in Malibu. In the weeks before his marriage, Sheen testified in the trial of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, admitting he had ordered Fleiss’ call girls at least 27 times, running up a tab of more than $50,000.
