Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen Battle Over Her Reality Show
The ongoing feud between bitter exes Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen has reached a whole new level. As Denise prepares for the May 26 premiere of her E! reality series It's Complicated, she has also found herself battling Charlie over some new developments, including finances and a suspicious e-mail. "Complicated" doesn't even begin to describe it.
Though Denise has repeatedly claimed that she is doing the reality show for the money, the New York Post's Page Six is calling her bluff. The gossip column reports that Denise is more than financially stable, allegedly receiving over $50,000 a month in tax-free child support, as well as a hefty cut from Charlie's CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.
And money may not be the only thing Denise still wants from Charlie. She appeared on the May 21 episode of the Today show to deny the existence of an e-mail that requested a sperm donation from her ex. She told Matt Lauer that she was with Richie Sambora when the e-mail was supposedly sent and said, "If I wanted anyone's sperm I would have asked for Richie's."
In response to Denise's appearance on the morning show, Charlie released a statement affirming the validity of the e-mail. He continued on to challenge Denise, saying that "if any proof can be established that these are not in fact her words and statements verbatim, I openly invite her and would even encourage Ms. Richards to sue me in a court of law."
That same day, Denise also engaged in a war of words with Whoopi Goldberg on The View. Whoopi questioned why the Wild Things star decided to include her young daughters, Lola and Sam, in her reality show. Denise defended her actions, insisting that her children are her "first priority" and said that if they ever told her they didn't want the cameras around, she would respect their wishes. She also said it should be noted that the girls are on camera "very minimally."
On Thursday's Fox & Friends aftershow, Denise put her foot down saying, "This show is not about Charlie — at all! I don't even think we mention his name. It's not about him."
As for the sperm donation rumors, Denise responded on Thursday's Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, saying, "I'm trying so hard to take the high road and not say anything. ... He can say I want his sperm... whatever. I don't really want to think of his penis anymore. I want to move on."

GO FOR YOUR DREAMS, DENISE...YOU ARE ONE OF THE BRAVEST WOMEN I KNOW...2008 OLYMPIAN OF THE YEAR FOR MAKING YOUR FAMILY SPECIAL...WE NEED MORE HEARTS LIKE YOURS ALL OVER THE WORLD

men like charlie sheen are losers, and charlie has loser written all over his badly in need of botox face, SATX USA
-- San Antonio, we love Denise
Sorry the jealous lot of you...she is entitled do as she pleases...I am a grandmother of many and the fact that her dad is there and helps is a blessing for her. I think the show is so much fun...watching her try to find her way in a a haze of paps and cameras. Being as honest and real as she is. I think she is above board and I think she is doing a great job...those girls look healthy, happy and well balanced. At their age what do they know from the cameras? I think the 72% who voted against her wish she was their friend. YOu cannot sit in a chair watching TV and claim to know a damned thing about someone other than what is shown. If the reality show uses bad judgment and shows things it should edit, then they are the creeps, not her.

I tried to like Denise, and I can see her greatest acting job is on her reality show. Not that she's a horrible person, but I can totally see thru the b.s. Who gives a flip what Charlie is or is not. It is OVER folks! They've both moved on. I wish them both well and I personally don't agree with kids being on camera unless they're as old as say, the Osbourne's kids. There are nutjobs out there and now they know what your little children look like? Have any of you rented "Blonde and Blonder?" have you heard the comment that pal Pam Anderson said about Jessica Simpson just because Jess isn't a vegetarian? These women are showing they're foul mouthed and can be mean spirited bitter people. I love Denise's Dad, but the show is this whole insecure defensive move that I hope doesn't kill her career or lack thereof.

I think Denise is amazing. I was never that big of fan until her new show. You see a totally different side of Denise than what we were shown before. I find her to be a great Mother, good friend and so funny.
-- Teresa
I actually like her now. Her show is letting us see that she is a good person.

Charlie Sheen is nothing but a womanizing, drug addict. He has caused his father, and brothers nothing but embarrassment. He slept with everything in hollywood and then some. I can't believe that in this country we worship men like him. His new wife will find out quickly enough what a true scum bag he is. Now, I am not defending Denise, I just think Charlie Sheen Sucks!!!!!!!!

Santina - Heather and Richie were seperated at the time. I can't believe how cruel some of these comments are. If she wasn't a famous person who would care what she did or who she slept with. You who are without sin, cast the first stone. Bet you can't. Oh, and by the way, some of you can't even spell correctly. The word is describe not descrive. Get a dictionary

Although I believe that reality shows in general really Su*k, I just happened to turn this one on. What I love about Denise is that her entire family is involved, including her lovely Dad. She is not all made up to look like a movie star, she looks just like you or I living our lives and raising our children (my are grown and gone Yeah!!!) I saw the show when she went back to her mom's house, that must have been very hard for her. I think she is a good mom and concentrates on her daughters' which is as it should be. When she bought the play house with her money she could have hired someone to put it together, yet she did it herself. Hello Ya'll she is just like us except she has a lot more money. All these nasty comments are out of jealousy! By the way Claudia, if you were given the chance to do something like this for the MONEY you would do it to. I wouldn't be so arrogant as to turn that down!
