I abhor reiterating it; but Charlie Sheen really is beginning to look like the sane one out of his coupling with Denise Richards - despite his enthusiasm for conspiracy theories, hookers, cocaine and alleged disregard for child vaccination. Denise's reality TV show, called It's Complicated *heaves*, is due to air this coming Sunday on E! (only in the States before you get yerselves all in a tizz). And, funnily enough, she's waited until a week before it's broadcasted to "clear up" a few rumours which originally came to light, oh, a year ago. Denise, you're PR subtlety is boundless.
The rumour involves an email Denise allegedly sent Sheen's fiance Brooke Mueller demanding his sperm, which said: "I am having a baby in the next year. By myself... my girlfriend suggested Charlie be the donor... Charlie and I have very beautiful healthy children together. I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it's any of your business." Sure, why would it be any of her business? I'd have NO problem if my boyfriend became a permanent sperm bank for his ex. Denise decided to go on the Today show yesterday to refute this claim, saying: "That e-mail is not legitimate. It's a doctored e-mail. I would never send an e-mail to his girlfriend, and, at the time of that e-mail, I was with Richie (Sambora). If I wanted anybody's sperm, I'd have asked for Richie's." Yeah 'cause he's a top notch guy who gets hammered and drives around town with his 10-year-old daughter and her friend... Of course, this lobbed the ball of bile back in Sheen's court, who retorted with: "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."
So, how else has Denise being promoting her show this week? In addition to appearing on the Today Show, she also popped in to The View (BOCKAAARK!) and Larry King Live to claim she HAS to shoot the reality show, starring her two toddlers with Sheen, cause she's like really poor 'n junk. That's not what Charlie's mates are saying, they're saying stuff like: "Denise gets $52,000 a month tax-free in child support. Most people in America can figure out how to live on that, but Denise can't?" According to the New York Post: "In addition to the child support, Richards got $60,000 a month (also tax-free) for two years in alimony - adding up to a whopping $1.44 million. Richards also gets a chunk of Sheen's hot(?!) sitcom, Two and a Half Men,' which 'eventually will net her up to $25 million,' the source said." Poor Denise, you're positively smashed - how do you get by? Ah, by exploiting those around you.
As has become the norm; Charlie had to have the last word and released the following statement: "The mere fact that she continues to publicly discuss and harass both Brooke and me three years after our separation, which for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes." Touche, Charlie.
