Gossip & Rumors
Is Denise Richards Really Engaged?

Denise Richards arrived at LAX yesterday sporting a ring on her left ring finger, leaving everyone wondering if she and her boyfriend, Richie Sambora, are engaged.

Richards, who is in the middle of a bitter divorce from Charlie Sheen, flew in from France after spending time with Sambora while he's on tour with Bon Jovi. Sambora is also in the middle of divorce from Heather Locklear - Richards' former best friend.


Don't get too excited, however, sources tell TMZ she is not engaged. But this could possibly be a foreshadowing of what's to come once all the divorces are finalized.... only time will tell.

Richards flew back to the States to perform with the Pussycat Dolls in Vegas tonight.

Denise's rep declined comment.

46. Denise some advise here...please go away. We are begging you. This is such a sad attempt at more publicity for your non-existent career. WE GET IT OK? You are dating Richie Sambora. We got it when you were straddling him in the first papparazzi photos you set up. Can't you use a little restraint here and keep a low profile? You wonder why there is a backlash against you, this is why. You are showing absolutely no class. PLEASE just live your life, and stop shoving it in everyone's face. Everyone will forget about you and then you can live you life under the radar and in peace...unless of course that's not what you want. hmmmm

49. So....those troops in Iraq dying under the hand of a bullsh@t president you voted for are such boring stories....Why don't we all just focus on a loser actress and and aging rock star (sorry Rich). I know this is never gonna change. Human beings are selfish in nature. But if on any celebrity, focus on Angie and Brad. They realized the responsability as celebrities they carry, so they choose to put it in good use and make the world focus on...the world. People, there're are so many humans suffering and dying per minute in this world...don't get to comfortable in your cozy little homes reading gossip mags..that can all be gone tommorrow.

50. What have to say about Denise RIchards/Heather Locklear.. I have been wanting to say since I heard Denise say she was "betrayed". With friends like Denise, who needs enemies. Denise is a beautiful woman and could get any man she wants. To go after your "best friend's" ex husband for comfort is even too low for a snakes belly. When she should be comforting her BEST friend, during her divorce, instead she is comforting the husband..who is the reason her best friend is sad, having a difficult time & divorcing. David Spade is RIGHT she is a back stabber....and she was only betrayed... but by her own will power to remain decent while at her friends side and not in bed with her friends ex- husband...
And who leaves a new baby with ANYONE to go globtrotting the globe acting like a teenager...she is dispicable and horrible and a truly unfit mother...and i feel her UNDER OATH!!! thing against Charlie probably was her way to make him look bad so she wins sympathy....she lost that sleeping and workingher way into Heathers bed...whehter or not Heather divorced Richie is the the point...she obviously is only concerned about herself, period...and she is using her kids to make us think she is a caring mother...a caring mother doesnt sleep around across the world while their kids are elsewhere...what if something happened while she was away...her priorites are all about her and her sex drive...and I agree if what she said was true abotu Charlie and she is SOO mad..why try at reconciliation...the whole thing is sick...Denise needs help...glad Heather found out about her.....hopefully Charlie will find proof she is a backstabbing liar too and win custody from this overly sexed and psychotiic excuse for a woman.

51. i dont even think Richie Sambora is cute to be fighting over. i think denise is gross for doing that to a friend.. and what comes around goes around. she is complaining now about charlie but she knew from the start he was no good. so to say she is just looking out for her kids... well why have them with someone who was not good from the start if the were your main concern. denise is just looking for the next stupid man who is willing to support her and pay for her clothes and nails.

52. EVERYBODY hold on a friggin minute here!!!!! Since when does any of us have the right to judge others? One thing I've learned about emotions is this...you cannot gauge them. You can't clock them. You cannot say from one minute...hour...day...week...year to the next, how your feelings will be about another person. A real SOB can sour 10 years of work [put into a relationship] in 5 MINUTES!...He/she can screw it up completely...simply by saying or doing the wrong friggin thing. Kaput! It's over! Bottom line is this: We are on the outside looking in...attempting to scrutinize other peoples PERSONAL lives. People who happen to be in the limelight. I live by the old adage...ALL is fair in LOVE and WAR! Another woman/man cannot TAKE your man/woman from you. Not if you've REALLY got him/her. If the relationship is solid..no other person can come between it. Simple as that! I doubt if Charlie Sheen can seriously love ANY one woman. Denise, simply put, has the guts to cut her losses and move on and THAT'S A GOOD THING! Heather and Richie were weak at some level. Obviously. Whatever the reasons, it unraveled, Get over it already people! Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen had their day in the sun as a couple. IT RAN IT'S COURSE! They are all great talents in their own right. I wish them each the best! BTW...isn't Denise a cutie pie? And she and Richie look pretty good together. Heather is no slouch and she will land on her feet. Richie gave her love for a long time. They should each be proud. Charlie? Well...he will keep being/doing anything Charlie wants to. That's Charlie.

54. Talk about a bunch of hypercritical follower sheep, it is amazing to me the peeps that post these a**kissing, brown nosing well wishes to people that you don't even know and don't know you, but G-d forbid someone posts a negative comment about these celebrity's you all start slammin' the writer. Freaks! Sheep! To Cindy , where the H-E double hockeys to get the right to slam Kathy by calling her a scumbag for expressing her opiniuon , just like you did, with the exception of it being a negative comment about a very public figurehead. Maybe you need a break from celebrity world and come back to reality, you foaming at the mouth and lashing out at a fellow blogger for stating her opinion is scary, and shows your off balance, by the way these celeb's do not give a shit about your comments, Keep it real Flakes.

55. Denise Richards deserves a break. She left her children with her parents, which is good bonding for all involved. She didn't leave them with a paid nanny, someone she barely knows. Just because she had another child with Charlie doesn't mean that those allegations she made are false. She left him when she was 6 months pregnant, so she obviously was trying to work things out. If he was looking at porn and using pills, that could have started long after they were married, as the pushing, shoving and threats. She surely didn't need him to jump start her career, and if that's what she was looking for, then I'm sure she would have chosen something with a much better career. As far as Heather Locklear, she dumped her husband, making him available to ANYONE. No one knows exactly what happened in their relationships, so no one should judge.

56. Even I think she's a whore, and I'm God. She knew what she waz getting into b4 she married and got knocked up by Mr. Vaughn. He waz no saint b4 she met him, and to think SHE could change him? And to go from him to sambora, hey, I might have a chance, after maybe 4 more bad relationships, or divorces, 2 more kids, a couple of arrests, 2 or 3 rehab stints. She should get a real job and raise her kids, and worry about her own money, whore.

57. All these hollywood types are trash. They cheat and cavort with anyone jusat to make the hype news. Trouble is people eat this up. Who cares that brangella or whatever they are called sold their child to the highest bidder. Denise is a no talent bimbo. When the looks go she will end up with a fortune from all the divorces and live unhappily ever after. We the people feed the frenzy. We buy all they are and all the trash. Stupid is as stupid does. This crap is better than any movie. Wake up America there is more to life than the trash you read and believe.They should all have their children taken away from them. They only have kids to see who will get the most for the child's picture or what they can get away with pre-maritally. Making children is a game and the end result of a fun filled night or day. OOOPs I'm going to have a baby isn't that great. I need a NANNY ot two or three. Where is the next party and who will be my partner tonite. This is fun.

58. How can anyone defend Denise Richards? She's nothing but a publicity hungry sleeze. No one even knew who she was until she married Charlie Sheen. Maybe she did marry a pervert. Only they know for sure. She took advantage of Richie's pain after Heather filed for divorce. I'm not saying Richie is blameless, but I doubt he was thinking clearly when he hooked up with Denise. He needs to dump the trash and focus on Ava. She is the important one. Denise's children are too young to understand why their monther keeps leaving them. Ava isn't. Even though I've never been a fan of Heather's, I admire her for not talking to the press and getting it on in front of the cameras like Denise and Richie seem to love doing.

59. Ok folks. I have a few statements. First of all how can any of you judge any of the four stars that are dating each other. Denise, Heather, Richie or David Spade? First of all, you people read the tabloids to damn much! None of you know whats real or whats not! How can any of you judge? Over 3/4 of the garbage you read these days are lies!! so is the news. we dont live there lives nor are we them. This is so unreal to read some of the comments you folks have made. Like know all the true and real facts. Folks lets get a life here ok!!! Worry about your own life, not the star's. Boy what some people do to pass the time.

60. Why do some people have such hostifle feelings about people they have never met? Fine you have your opinions about right and wrong behavior but for goodness sakes people these people are human with everyday needs, wants and insecurities. Give them a break and may be when some one in judging your life, you'll get a break.
