Denise Richards is such a blatant media whore - she's desperate for good publicity to counter the bad press generated by her custody battle with ex-husband Charlie Sheen. She picks up a copy of one of the tabloids, or maybe she just googles "good mother" and sees a shot of Angelina. She thinks, "Hey, I can do that," calls a few paps to let them know she's going out, and waits for her photo op.
Look at that grip!
Make no mistake; Denise is every bit as crazy and manipulative as her ex says she is. I so believe him when he says she calls 30 to 35 times a day when he's got the girls, and that she sends her assistant over as surrogate nanny to supervise visitation - and report back to her.
Denise caught a lucky break in their divorce negotiations because of the timing of revelations about Charlie's association with Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. Denise was able to twist Charlie's penchant for cheerleader costumes into child pornography, thus gaining the upper hand in custody issues, not to mention alimony and child support. She can pick and choose her C- and D-List projects, working when she wants to. With such gems as Blond and Blonder under her belt, her future looks bright indeed.
Hence the oversized sunglasses. And how, do you ask, did Denise know about what went on in the House of Fleiss? Perhaps you should ask Denise if she still remembers the cheer.
