Breakups

Ironically, Locklear, Richards and Sheen all appeared together on an episode of 'Spin City' -- and episode in which Richards plants a big kiss on Locklear's lips.

Locklear's rep would not comment on the TMZ story. Spade's rep calls the claims "completely false and ridiculous." A source connected with Locklear says Richards' allegations are "ridiculous" and that "it's a thinly veiled attempt by Richards to try to deflect her own conduct." The source adds Spade and Locklear were never in a romantic relationship prior to the time she filed for divorce.

Denise Richards speaks out for the first time about her bitter divorce with Charlie Sheen. In an exclusive on-camera interview with TMZ's Managing Editor Harvey Levin, Richards says she feels hurt by her one-time good friend Heather Locklear.

Richards talks about her relationship with Locklear's estranged husband Richie Sambora and Locklear's reported anger over it.

And there's a new twist. Richards' interview comes amid new questions over the timing of Locklear's romance with David Spade. The Richards/Sheen Locklear/Sambora divorces have gripped Hollywood, and TMZ has the lowdown.

Everyone was rooting for this couple, but it wasn't meant to be. After four years of marriage, it was over. Sources tell TMZ that the marriage fell apart because of a "third person."

We're told this is a strictly "amicable" divorce. In terms of courtroom conflicts, one source said, "It was over before it started." It seems the couple drafted a prenup before they were married and they have each agreed to walk away with what's theirs -- and no more.

It's the divorce that will never end. Although a judge officially ended their marriage in 2002, the bitterness between them has reached epic proportions. We're told for the moment it's relatively peaceful, but there's an ominous caution -- every time there's a holiday, there's a fight.

The battle royale has centered around the former couple's 10-year-old daughter, Ireland. Kim has custody, Alec visitation. They have fought every step of the way. Alec has filed reports with the police, alleging Kim violated a court order by not turning Ireland over for visitation. Kim has accused Alec of upsetting their daughter with an alleged volcanic temper. Alec wanted the judge to order Kim to take co-parenting classes. He's accused her of substance abuse; an allegation she denied.

The marriage officially fell apart last February, but there was a buzz since Christmas that there was trouble brewing. This divorce promises to go fairly smoothly, but there is one speed bump.

There have been reports that Locklear was upset over "another woman." But TMZ is told that there wasn't just one incident that torpedoed the marriage. The way it was described was that the couple had ongoing problems -- the kind that build over an 11-year marriage.

A source tells TMZ that Locklear is handling the split "calmly and with dignity."

It's certainly one of the more volatile divorces in Hollywood. Some weeks, Richards and Sheen are at war; other times they're cordial. We're told they have just gone through a rough patch, but are now talking again. But it is an uneasy calm.

Richards filed for divorce in March 2005, citing irreconcilable differences. We're told that there was not one single problem leading to the split -- rather, it was cumulative. The couple has two children; Denise is asking for custody.

Richards and Sheen attempted a reconciliation last fall, but it failed.

Nick Lachey has Jessica Simpson over a barrel. A fight is brewing over money and Nick holds the trump card -- spousal support.

The former 'Newlyweds' did not have a prenup, which means Nick and Jessica split everything they earned during the marriage 50/50. Nick actually wanted a prenup before they married and Jessica agreed. But when it came time to sign on the dotted line, Jessica refused. We're told Jessica's dad didn't like the idea. Now it will cost her plenty.

The timing of their split has become a battleground as well. Once they officially separated, each is entitled to keep whatever they earn. Jessica says they split in November of last year; Nick claims it was December. In that one month, Jessica made a huge amount of money -- if Nick is right, he gets half of that, too.
