Denise Doin' It for the Money? Yeah, Right
Denise Richards is crying poor, claiming that she has to pimp her kids on a reality show for the cash –- but Charlie Sheen's camp says that's a bunch of hooey.
They're telling the New York Post that Denise is getting a whopping $52,000 per month in child support – and tax-free at that – in addition to the $60K per month she got for two years in alimony. "Most people in America can figure out how to live on that, but Denise can't," says a pal.
And then there's the $25 million some say she could end up making from Sheen's show "Two and a Half Men."
Kelly Defense Gets Pissy with Witness
Having to ID your friend and niece on a sex tape is awkward at best, but four people at the R. Kelly trial did just that yesterday.
Prosecutors put Simha Jamison on the stand, and she said that she and the girl alleged to be on the sex tape were best friends for 10 years. Jamison also said that they visited Kelly's studio and b-ball court "dozens of times" from when they were twelve years old. The defense tried every which way to corner Jamison during her testimony, but girlfriend reportedly gave as good as she got.
The alleged victim's aunt and uncle also took the stand and positively ID'd her as well.
