01:18to rally forces fighting Al-Houthi militants in Taiz. It was not immediately clear how
01:24long Hadi would stay in the country, his second return to Aden since his Saudi-led coalition
01:29retook the port city in July, or whether his visit would herald the permanent return of
01:34his exiled administration from the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

02:18in recent years. He was kicked off CBS's Two and a Half Men in 2011 after an explosive
02:25meltdown that included calling the show's producer a contaminated little maggot. His
02:31escapades have also included the revelation that he spent more than $50,000 as a client
02:37of Heidi Fleiss' prostitution ring.
