Karen Sjoden Arrested for Trespassing at Ellen’s, Obsessed with Hillary Clinton and Dolph Lundgren

Karen Sjoden, a 49-year old who claimed she was working as a private investigator, was arrested early yesterday morning for trespassing on the property of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Police say the woman was discovered hiding under cushions on the couple’s deck at approximately 5 a.m., with a spokesman adding: “She was placed under private person’s arrest and was transported and booked at BHPD for trespassing and prowling.” Bail has been set at $200,000. Why such a high figure? Because Sjoden appears mentally unstable. Authorities found a “rambling letter” on her person, one that referenced Hillary Clinton, Dolph Lundgren, Warren Buffet, telepathy and aliens. Said Sjoden’s daughter, Kayle, to Radar Online : “It doesn’t surprise me about Ellen DeGeneres because she’s mentioned people in her conspiracy theories before… no one took it seriously because she was never a harm to anybody. Now, it’s obvious that she needs treatment for her mental issues.” In court yesterday, Sjoden told a judge “this is a set up,” while claiming she worked for the investigation firm Blue Moon. That company says it has never heard of her, however. Sources say Sjoden is “a drifter” who has been living with an aunt in Los Angeles. Kayle had not spoken to her mother in a couple of weeks when this incident occurred, but says “delusions” have played a role in her life for years. “My aunt and I tried to help her, but every time we try she has run away because she doesn’t think she’s crazy. She’s very convincing with what she believes.” Sjoden is due back in court on March 7.

Brooke Mueller is "Doing Well," Insider Says

While rumors continue to swirl regarding the reasons why Brooke Mueller is in a rehab facility in Malibu (some sources cite an addiction to crack), the important thing is this, a friend says: “Brooke is doing very well.” After spending time in a hospital that dealt specifically with dangerous infections, Mueller checked into the Canyon treatment center earlier this month. “She’s been committed to getting herself in shape by getting healthy again and going to a rehab to continue her regimen with her sobriety,” the source told E! News. While she works on her marriage to Charlie Sheen, Brooke’s true motivation for recovery is her children, 11-month-old sons, Max and Bob. Said the insider: “She sees her children almost every day, and she’s an extraordinary mom to them… She’s really determined to get her life back on track and concentrate on being a great mom.” Sheen is due back in a Colorado court on March 15 to face a felony charge of menacing . Mueller will be close to finished with her 30-day stay at that point, but it’s unknown if she’ll be by his side.
