Charlie Sheen's Christmas call to his ex-wife Denise Richards came collect -- and from jail -- this according to Denise.
On today's "Oprah," Denise said Charlie called to talk to their daughters after he was arrested on domestic abuse charges Christmas morning in December.
Denise added Sheen flung "a lot of verbal abuse" towards her when they were married -- but he never hit her.
Denise Richards -- the woman Charlie Sheen used to be married to who didn't accuse him of attacking her with a knife -- took the two daughters she shares with Charlie to a park in Los Angeles yesterday.
You know Charlie Sheen used to have nightmares that looked just like this: his ex-wife Denise Richards having lunch in Brentwood with his current wife Brooke Mueller.
Charlie, Denise and Brooke have been playing nice for the sake of their kids.
Putting a cat in a blender would produce a better sound than Denise Richards did while trying to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch at today's Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
These wrecked cars are the leftovers of the nasty car accident that left one person in the hospital yesterday afternoon, and involved the young daughters of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. No arrests have been made yet.
The two young daughters of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen were involved in a serious car accident yesterday, TMZ has learned, but the good news is they're safe and sound.
Law enforcement sources tell us Sam and Lola Rose Sheen, 4 and 3, were riding in an SUV driven by a nanny on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, when a Honda made a crazy left turn in front of them, cutting them off. Four cars were involved in the accident, and only the driver of the Honda was injured.
No arrests have been made. The driver of the Honda was taken to a local hospital and will most likely be cited for a failure to yield.
Denise and Charlie's reps didn't immediately comment.
First her epic battle with Charlie Sheen, then her reality show gets canceled -- now Denise Richards is even on the outs with her house! More details have emerged about the ex reality star putting her house up for sale. The five bedroom home is going for 4.25 mil -- which is about 100K less than what Denise originally paid for it. LA Times Hot Property reports Richards hasn't revealed where she'll move to after the home sells.
As for that sound you hear -- its just her neighbors having the biggest party of the summer!
Sources tell us Charlie Sheen has buried a Bev Hills doctor in small change, and Charlie's people think they know who dropped the dime. Dr. Peter Waldstein, a Bev Hills pediatrician, has treated Charlie and Denise's two kids in the past. Charlie was pissed that the doc was immunizing the kiddies, because he doesn't believe in it. Charlie sent Waldstein a letter, demanding that he no longer treat the kids, but the Dr. fired his own letter back saying he would treat them if they needed medical attention, no matter what.
So, there was this outstanding $380 bill that Charlie paid by messenger today. It was a big box filled with $380, all in nickels. By our calculations that's 7,600 nickels.
We're told the Dr. is donating the loot to the March of Dimes.
Charlie's rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, "Dr. Waldstein should spend more time treating his patients than leaking stories to TMZ." Rosenfield adds, "Maybe Dr. Waldstein would like to be featured in John McCain's next television commercial [famous for being famous]."
For the record, we're not saying who gave us the story.
Charlie Sheen's rep tried to rip Denise a new one, but she's fired right back at him. After court today (Denise asked a judge to restrict Charlie's access to the kids because the children are having problems), Sheen's rep told TMZ, "... Denise...went to court a second time this morning. She received the same result that she did on July 17. Richards lost for the second time in seeking to change any of the custodial arrangements..."
Richards' lawyer, Neal Hersh, fired back, "What Charlie's reps are not telling you are the orders the judge made specifically directed toward Charlie. Charlie keeps on trying to talk about a winner or a loser but clearly no one would consider those orders a victory for Charlie. As usual, he was simply trying to attack Denise rather than focus on his children."
Hersh adds today's order "will finally force Charlie to focus on his children." Stay tuned
Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards both say they couldn't be happier with the latest courtroom custody battle -- a battle that has a lot to do with home video. TMZ has learned Richards' lawyer, Neal Hersh, came armed with home video from Denise, showing her kids acting out in a way Denise found alarming. Hersh would not comment on the video, but we're told the way the kids have been acting is why she wants restrictions on Charlie's contact with the kids. We also know the videos were not shown in court.
Denise Richards went to court this morning, asking the custody judge for an emergency order restricting Charlie Sheen's access to their kids.
Denise and her powerhouse lawyer, Neal Hersh, went into a closed emergency hearing today. We're told they told the judge there's a serious issue in Charlie's home that could have an adverse impact on the kids. The issue, we're told, is psychological and Denise wants professionals to evaluate things. In the meantime, she doesn't want her kids hanging around there.
Was one of them not really listening? Both Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards were both "pleased" with the outcome of today's impromptu court hearing. In a statement to TMZ, Charlie's rep says "Charlie was very grateful and more than pleased with the court for how they dealt with the custody issues regarding his two children this morning."
As she walked out of court this morning, Denise told us she was "pleased" with the judge's decision and her attorney told us "it was in the children's best interests."
