Denise Richards Nude Photos In December Playboy
Charlie Sheen is so happy with his marriage that he encouraged his wife to strip down for the December cover of Playboy. "He was very supportive," she says. Sheen helped her choose the final photos. "Charlie's been a Playboy fan for years".
But she did select an unusual entourage to accompany her to the Bahamas for the photo shoot - her mother, father and six-month-old daughter Sam. Richards admits that Playboy magazine has held a memorable place in her family's history for a number of years.
She explains, "My dad subscribed to Playboy when I was little. My sister and I found a magazine and we were really upset. We thought my dad was gonna divorce my mom. So he sat us down and had a talk and explained that he buys the magazine for the articles". Don't we all?
With flashing eyes of emerald green and lips like plump, candied slabs of love, Denise Richards is pretty enough to have secured a movie career without ever having shown anything. Indeed, her breakthrough role in Starship Troopers (1997) was a fully clothed jaunt, although no amount of fabric could conceal the trundling treasures of her heaving chest. Those beauties, and the booty that backs.
Personal Life
In 2002, she married actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she appeared in Scary Movie 3, in which she played his character's dying wife. The couple has two daughters: Sam J and Lola. Richards was named the Sexiest Mom of 2005 by In Touch Weekly magazine.
In March 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen. The couple briefly reconciled and were seeking marriage counseling to mend their relationship. However, on January 4, 2006, Richards' representative announced that she was continuing with the divorce, and she later sought a restraining order against Sheen, citing his alleged death threats against her. Richards briefly dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora shortly after their respective separations from Sheen and Heather Locklear, ending what Locklear had considered to be a close friendship. Richards once dated actor Patrick Muldoon; she has also been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she dated during her teenage years.
On April 19, 2006, Richards filed formal legal papers asking for divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California. In her 17-page court filing (not counting additional supporting evidentiary documents), Richards alleged that Sheen's behavior was increasingly erratic, making their marriage impossible, and that she feared for her safety and the safety of their two daughters: Sam J. and Lola Rose.
Richards claimed that Sheen was physically and verbally abusive and threatened to kill her or have her killed, and that despite having accidentally shot his previous fiancée, Kelly Preston, he wanted to place firearms under their coffee table to protect them. Richards claimed that Sheen had become paranoid and obsessive, citing his belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories, a belief that baby formula caused brain damage, a desire to purchase gas masks, and an "abnormal fascination" with Nicole Simpson's death.
Further, Richards alleged that Sheen visited prostitutes and was addicted to gambling, prescription drugs (which he bought over the Internet), and pornography. Richards also alleged that Sheen posted a picture of his erect penis on his online profile of a "sex-search type" website and that he frequently viewed pornography featuring "very young girls," and websites "involving gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults." Based on these allegations, Richards sought and received a restraining order against Sheen.
Sheen denied the allegations. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he described Richards' actions as a "smear campaign" and insisted that he was a responsible father who would "give his life for his children." He added that Richards is "the only one entirely culpable for putting these radical allegations out for public consumption... my children included."
On December 1, 2007, it was announced that Richards's mother, Joni, died from cancer.On November 8, 2006, officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called to the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C., where Richards was making a movie. After seeing some photographers taking her picture (Nude) from a nearby balcony, she apparently confronted them, grabbed one of their laptop computers and threw it over the balcony. The laptop landed near two elderly women, one 91 years old on a zimmerframe and one 89 years old and in a wheelchair. The 89-year-old woman suffered minor injuries (mild bruising) and was treated by emergency personnel.
In 2008, Richards decided to include her two daughters with Charlie Sheen in a her own upcoming reality television show. He deemed her plans "greedy, vain and exploitative". On January 25, 2008, Richards won a court case against Sheen so that she can include her daughters in the show. When a judge rejected Sheen's request to block it, the latter urged fans to boycott it. An agreement was reached between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards regarding the custody of the children.
The relatively unknown beauty Denise Richards made an indelible impression on male audiences with her infamous onscreen threesome with Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell in 1998's Wild Things.
With her lusty image in tow, Richards became a Bond girl in 1999's The World Is Not Enough, and after working with Charlie Sheen on Spin City, she married him. While several months pregnant with their second child, Richards filed for divorce, later requesting a restraining order against Sheen.
Tabloid attention grew when she soon began dating Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, who at that time was married to her former friend Heather Locklear. Richards and Sheen are now in a bitter custody dispute, and she and Sambora have called it quits.
