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.

76. I haven't cared for Heather in years. There's something so phony about her when I see her speak and especially laugh. Denise made a big mistake marrying Charlie and another mistake only because two people in the business hardly ever can make it last.
It's hard enough for the average couple to have a long relationship. I wish her and Richie luck but they probably will break up in less than a year.

77. First of all , who in there right mind would marry
Charlie ? He is a man whore. And for Denise, she
is no better, she slept with her best friends
husband so she has nothing to bitch about. I
think they are made for another. Charlie looks and
walks like an old man, he is gross. Those two
need to get help. Those poor kids they have
are going to be all screwed up, because there
parents are losers. Sad

78. I have a slightly different perspective on this because I had a good friend who got me through some really rough times in my first marriage. Then, I heard she was having problems with hers, through a mutual friend, and her husband and I got together and started talking; just talking. One thing led to another and we did do some things which weren't right--like taking their child who was 4 out with us and then telling her not to tell her mom, staying at friend's condos, and vacationing together. My "friend" would call me occasionally to check on me but never mentioned her problems so I felt no need to discuss the situation. Long story short, they divorced because he stopped coming home or going to counseling because he was in love with me, not her. And now we are married and things are OK. His ex is not a jerk about it and recently toured our new home and later told people it was gorgeous and I had great taste. She also said she wished us happiness--to me and to others, which got back to me. Not a nasty word which proves my point: She wasn't in love with him at all! I thought it a bit tacky she didn't send a wedding gift but she makes sure her daughter has a mother's day gift, birthday and Christmas gift for me. That's fine; I just wish she wouldn't shop for gifts from her daughter to my husband. That's just wrong! Let him go!!!!!

81. Yes, Heather did throw him out-but does that give Denise (as her so-called friend) to steal him --the minute he's single!!!??
I think he's crazy too. I loved the two of them together (Heather n Richie).I think Denise and Richie should have been single for a while ,just for their own selves being they just came out of relationships themselves...Doesn't anyone like to be alone for a little while at least?????

82. There is something about Denise Richard's that is very disturbing...like she's not all there mentally.

83. No matter what was going on with Richie and Heather's marriage, I am sure that Denise did not help things any. I have a feeling that this Denise Richards started "working" Sambora while she was still with Charlie Sheen....She was lining up a "back-up" guy and how convenient that he was her "best friend's" husband and right next door! I am sure that she pumped Heather for all the ins and outs of how to snag Richie and then moved in for the score. She is obviously a conniving opportunist who will, I bet, be on the receiving end of what she did to Heather, when Sambora eventually tires of her and throws her to the curb, in favor of another, younger pop-tart. What a bunch of losers.

85. IT is pretty much the normal behavior for people like them... The drugs, money and fame all comes too easily and why again?

There people are no different from any others who suffer a lack of morality and the ability to be reasonable. They succomb to the pressure they are put through because of of the public, we give them the notarity the seek.

Denise and Richie should be given a chance, but I am guessing she will move on to someone else when her 15 seconds are up. She is washed up and obviuosly not very bright. She choose Charlie Sheen to give her self a name and she is doing the same now.

She never used drugs............I beg to differ, no one else would dress and act the way she does not being under the influence, and she is a good Mom?

I doubt it. She is a loser and I have lost all respect for Richie on his choice for who has chosen to move on with, best of luck to both, you will need it. Stay away from the drugs and lies, it will help you see what life is about.
