Denise Gets 'Complicated'

0523richards.jpg

Denise Richards is in the "Extra" hot seat -- on Hollywood's nastiest "he said, she said" war of words! The actress has opened up her life by promoting her controversial E! reality show, "It's Complicated." Now, she's defending her decision to put her kids in front of the camera -- a decision her ex Charlie Sheen fought in court and in the media.

Denise insists she's doing the show because she's a single mother. "I'll be honest with you -- I need work," said Richards, "I need to support my children. I have bills like anyone else." Denise could make nearly a half-million dollars from her new show! "Extra" also uncovered recent reports showing the actress is pulling in more than $40 million for less than three years of marriage -- which includes a $7 million divorce settlement, $20 million in syndication royalties from Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" TV show, and nearly $10 million in tax-free child support over the next 15 years.

Although the actress says, "I'm a good mom -- I don't want nannies raising my kids," Richards has two nannies for the girls, plus one full-time assistant, one full-time pet caretaker, and one full-time live-in housekeeper!

Last November Sheen told Extra, "She continues to reveal what type of person and parent she is through her behavior." Today, Sheen is choosing not to comment any further on this matter.

Denise also talks about the e-mail making news everywhere, which she allegedly sent to Charlie's fiancée Brooke Mueller, asking for another baby from Charlie. The email reads in part, "I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it's any of your business. This wasn't to have sex with him, it was him donating." Denise claims the e-mail is doctored, telling Extra "This is garbage... this is not an e-mail I sent to anyone - period." Charlie plans to have a computer DNA expert analyze the e-mail to prove no part of it has been altered

Denise's show, "It's Complicated," premieres Memorial Day on E!

charlie has tried to take the high road many times but how can you do that when you get slammed so much. One day she will have to explain to her kids her actions. I wish her luck. I have a twenty something daughter whose dad i did not care for and never bad mouthed him to her. she now has two kids of her own and is doing great. Oh and i really have my doubts that she is ,she gets great child support i am sure. If she is so poor why did the money she spent on changing her tatoo not go to food or clothes for her kids. Save the money and wear socks.

She’s a liar and nothing more than a gold digger.
She’s doing the show to try and make everyone see her the way she would like them to, reality TV has writers, which makes you think ” how much of that show is going to be real ? ”
Her web of lies is only getting larger with every story, sooner or later she’s going to get caught up it.

Denise YOU’RE A BAD ACTRESS AND A GOLD DIGGER

i think that it is wrong to put your children on t.v. just for the fame and money, but HELLO, it’s called hollywood!! celeb kids are always getting their pictures takin without permission, every time a celeb steps out of their house they are followed and photographed not matter what is going on, so why not beat them to the punch! make some cash, and be the one in control…i mean, it’s not like their children aren’t used to cameras being around anyway. maybe sheen is just upset because she beat him to the punch!

An open letter to EXTRA:

Why don’t you people just tell the truth and admit that you’re the propaganda machine for Carlos Estevez? (That’s Charlie’s real name) You’ve had a relationship with him going back a couple of years!! Hell, his soon-to-be wife WORKS FOR YOU!!!

But you won’t, will you? You’d rather run Denise Richards through the mud, at the behest of Carlos, then try to make everybody think that you’re being “objective” in your reporting when you’re not. YOU PEOPLE ARE DISGUSTING!!!

Just change your name to Entertainment Tonight, already!!! You sure as hell act like them!!!

PS: You’re NOT fooling anybody!!!

Charlie Sheen is a louse. This is not the first woman he has bashed. He has gotten away with way too much for one lifetime. He is such a loser. It’s all an act for him. He is fooling you people.

I think shes very money hungry, but then again I think Charlie hates her with a passion for the things shes said in the press about him after their divorce. I do think she sent the email. Only time will tell through a computer expert now. They both need to come to a common ground for their kids sake. Kat:)

I really think that she sent the email to Brooke because she is jealous of them. Charlie and Brooke have this look of glow that you see in couples who are happy and contented with each other. Also, Brooke is far prettier than Denise.

Extra,

Thank you for researching this further. I had no particular feelings toward either of these people previously, but Denise’s claims seemed unrealistic and spiteful and I appreciate you following up and uncovering her lies, as her words never rang true for myself and I’m sure thousands of others.

I pray for those beautiful little girls.

She isnt the first to have her kids on reality tv, Run’s house and Kimora’s show dont exploit their children but rather celebrate their love for them. So dont hate without giving her a chance.

Why don’t you all give her a break. You haven’t even seen the show yet, and it may not be bad. It’s not like kids aren’t on reality tv already. Look at Run’s House and Kimora Simmons show—their kids are not being exploited. Give her a chance and stop all the hating!

I watched her on “The View” and Whoopi really grilled her (nicely) about having her kids on TV. She wouldn’t make eye contact with anyone completely. I feel very much that this time she is in the wrong. As everyone else here says Charlie Sheen is no saint, but he has openly challenged her to try to disprove him, and invited documentary evidence to that effect. She never seems to come across as really believing what she is doing..

I lost all respect for her when she decided to put her kids in front of a camera. All for the sake of a dollar.

I agree Charlie is no saint, but this woman is pathetic she lies about everything You can see by the emotions on her face,
I think she is addicted to attention and will trample all over anyone to get it.
I am sorry about her Mother dieing, but I think she sent the email and is jealous of Brooke because she can’t steal her man…..back

I agree Charlie is no saint but she is pathetic. She contradicts herself all the time. She mentioned the Kardashians and the Osbournes but their kids are teenagers and the Osbournes’ daughter Ami chose not to be on the show. I think she sent that email and is completly embaressed now that it came to light. I have no interest watching a reality show about a B list actress exploiting her kids.

Her lies are catching up with her. Charlie’s no saint, but I don’t think he’s a liar. He’s admitted to being a drug addict and one of Heidi F’s clients.

So Denise, are you doing this show because your mom encouraged you to show the world the real you, or are you doing this for money?!?


- UGH!
