Denise Richards -- Packin'

Denise RichardsDenise Richards apparently isn't feeling the love in Westlake Village, a posh suburb in Los Angeles County.  According to the Hot Property column in Sunday's L.A. Times, Richards is putting her house on the market for $4.3 mil.
 
Richards bought the 7,400 square foot house last year, around the time she split from estranged hubby Charlie Sheen.  According to the Times, she paid just under $4 million.  With commissions and expenses, at best she'll break even, assuming she gets full asking price.
 
Here's the Hollywood twist.  Richards found the house with the help of her one-time friend, now arch-rival, Heather Locklear.  Richards is dating Locklear's estranged husband, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi fame.

Denise Richards' house

Richards and Sheen are locked in a nasty divorce battle.  On Thursday, Sheen had his deposition taken and went face to face with Richards, creating what we're told was a "tense" situation.
 
Richards wants sole custody of the couple's two children.  Sheen wants joint custody.
 
Richards has made a variety of allegations against Sheen, claiming in effect his alleged dalliances on the internet and other activities make him unsuitable as a parent.  Sheen has denied all the allegations.
 
As for the Richards' house, it's a safe bet one of her motivations is to get away from her neighbor -- none other than Heather herself.  In other words, it's time to get out of dodge.

31. WHO CARES?????????????????????????????????????? The problem is that the public feeds into this... we are the ones who pay and therefore encourage paparazzi. Maybe we should boycott tabloids and all this immoral garbage can stay where it belongs, with the trash of hollywood........

32. Adding to a comment about Richie being thrown out. OK, Heather threw him out for cheating, but why would someone you are friends with (maybe not best friends, but friends nontheelss) date him. There is a code of Ethics, Morals & Principals. Would you want the uncomfortableness of seeing one of your friends dating someone you use to sleep with? Also I live in Chicago & Bon Jovi will be in concert July 21, 2006, guess what? There are tickets still available, this never happens in Chicago. People are disappointed to see disloyalty.

33. People keep saying Denise and Richie are single. They're not divorced yet, therefore, they're still MARRIED to other people. As for Charlie and Denise's divorce, no one truly knows the story of what has gone on and who has done what. Just becasue Denise "says" Charlie did this and that doesn't make it so. Denise well knew Charlie's background and, you know the saying, "If you can't handle the fire, stay out of the kitchen." It appears Denise doesn't give a damn about anyone but Denise. Not much of a wife, not much of a friend, and definitely no talent. That sums up Denise Richards.

37. ElsieB, I totally agree with you. Of course, that brings up another subject... and I am not excluding myself from this question obviously...then why are we on here even reading their business in the first place?

38. I think people are people, and we tend to do the wrong things.
The hardest thing in the world is to do the right thing. But then again who is anyone to say what is right or wrong. The only thing I do know is that children deserve both parents.
Thats where she should be putting her focus not on how to move away from Heather.

39. Denise has got no morals. Its obvious that she has done this before in the past ie. stealing boyfriends/husbands. Would like to hear from any girlfriend she was friends with in her past where Denise has behaved in this way. It would be quite an interesting read.

40. Technically, NONE of the players in this drama are SINGLE. Heather and Richie are still married to each other as are Denise and Charlie. Yet, they all are dating others?

Not that my opinion matters in the grand scheme of things, but I think they are all freaking whacked!

41. "Denise and Richie have every right to be together since they are both single. I wish you guys happiness!!! "

Regardless of what Heather and Richie was going through, you NEVER sleep with your best friend's man! Not if your friendship means anything.

42. This is HILARIOUS!! I stumbled across this site on accident as I am having a hard time sleeping. It's simply amazing to me how much time and NEGATIVE energy is spent writing comments about people who will NEVER read a word of this that is written, nor care about you/us and/or you/our opinions. Thank goodness too! Minette - Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen have two daughters! Where did you come up with little boy? If you're going to rant and rave - at least get your facts straight. And where do all of you come up with whore and hooker? Before Charlie, Denise had a couple low-profile relationships. We're ALL entitled to make mistakes, it's unfortunate her's has to be front page news. If you've EVER been through a divorce then you know how devastating it is. To live through a divorce privately is hard enough. To have to see it on the front page of three different magazines every other week would be unimaginable! Funny though, I haven't heard anyone calling Angelina a whore or a hooker. One month after Brad and Jen's divorce is finalized and she's PREGO!!?!?! Hmmmm........ That's timing?!?
Anyhow, It seems to me all Hollywood stars stay within their "comfort" zone. Ben Afflec, dated Gwen Paltrow, then Jennifer Lopez and now he's married to Jennifer Garner. Tom Cruise - Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes. If they aren't dating another actor/actress it's someone else famous. If it hadn't been Richie, it would have been someone else withing the Hollywood Family. My point to all of this - NONE of us really know the TRUTH! The stories, the pictures - they SELL magazines and newspapers! We buy them and read the stories for our entertainment. So let it be just that. ENTERTAINMENT! If we're going to judge, lets judge how we're living OUR own lives. And if we have time to sit and write comments about how celebrities are living their lives then we, more than likely, have time to do something else more constructive. And let us not forget how Princess Diana lost her life. Let us not forget how we, as a society were outraged at the paparazzi, for their actions contributing to her death. It is still these very people that are out there using their mega camera lenses to steal these private images that we are so hungry to see. These are the people still chasing and hiding outside of grocery stores and bathrooms at gas stations. Yet we're still buying their magazines? Scary we're so quick to judge the famous, yet it's us, the un-famous, that keep the magazines in business? We keep the photographers on the streets vying for that one great shot! But lets judge Denise Richards? How about lets US get a life?

43. It certainly looks like Denise likes sloppy seconds...............She is one nasty tramp. She certainly had me fooled too in the beginning. I was really feeling sorry for her and the kids and thinking that Charley Sheen was the nasty cheating sicko and here all along it was her. There is a lot of truth in that old saying. "When someone has there finger pointing @ someone else......They have three pointing back @ themselves. The smoke screen has been lifted. She is a lying pathetic tramp. And the tramp always has to run away and hide because they burn too many bridges. Get her Charley.

44. For the one post, I am certain Denise has 2 little girls, not a little boy .......

45. How come no one can figure out that Denise and Richie had something going on before all this became public? Thats the reason for heather leaving and the reason for denice wanting a divorse. Wake up people!
