Oh, Denise. She’s a crazy bitch, y’all. And she’ll always love controversy and bad boys. I’ve liked Denise ever since that dumb “It’s Complicated” show on E! – I thought she was funny and screwed up, and I loved her dad. In the show, Denise often went on dates, sometimes with “nice” guys who were accountants or whatever. She never went for them – too boring. Denise loves a dude with complications. And now she’s found yet another one:

Denise Richards just can’t stay away from the bad boys. After a tumultuous marriage to Charlie Sheen and a rocky relationship with Richie Sambora, the star, 39, has been quietly dating Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx.

Richards and Sixx, 52, “have been neighbors for years. They have a lot in common and are taking things slowly,” a source close to the pair tells the new Us Weekly.

Richards (mom to Sheen’s daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5) and Sixx, a former heroin addict who has been married to two Playboy models (and who romanced Kat Von D from 2008 to January 2010), had breakfast at Marmalade Cafe in Calabasas, Calif., on the morning of Dec. 12.

“Nikki was telling stories, and Denise was laughing,” says a witness.

Just the night before (his birthday), Sixx alluded to a special someone on Twitter, typing at 10:35 p.m. that he had “a midnight rendezvous planned with a beautiful maiden.”

[From Us Weekly]

Sixx also used to date Kat Von D. Would you date a guy who dated Kat Von D? I wouldn’t. Of course, Nikki’s hair would be the first dealbreaker of this relationship, and then the “Motley Crue bassist” tag would be the second dealbreaker. “Dating Kat Von D” is way down the list. Does this make me immune to bad boys? Nope. I still love Colin Farrell and Gerard Butler. But I draw the line at this:

    I’m sure he has a great personality………

  2. Franny says:

    she has dead eyes. she has a great body though and i like that skirt (I would never wear it but it looks fun!).

    and he is gross. with the off center patch on his chin and that wig…

  3. Diane says:

    Scraping the bottom.

  4. Jo says:

    Denise has impeccable taste in men.

    I guess anything is a walk in the park compared to being hostage to Charlie.

  5. Just a Poster says:

    WOW.. she sure likes the neighborhood boys eh?

  6. Eve says:

    She looks so “surprised”.

  7. brin says:

    Why not Kat Von D. and Goodtime Charlie Sheen….that’s just as random.

  8. NayNay says:

    I think she is like a groupie or something. I think she has manly features. Not a fan.

  9. Sigh. says:

    She’s a looks litte batsh!t crazy in that pic, huh?

    Anyone remember when Nikki Sixx was with Prince’s girl group Vanity 6’s lead “singer,” Vanity in the ’80’s. They had a not-for-radio song called “Nasty Girl?” Not to be confused with Apollonia 6’s “Sex Shooter.”

    I remember cuz she kept running around telling people she was engaged and couldn’t wait to become “Vanity Sixx” in real life, and he would deny, deny, deny ever proposing.

    Yeah. They did a lot of drugs back then, so…

  10. Hakura says:

    She looks like some sort of ‘robot’ (or incredibly high) in the first picture xD The lights are on, but nobody’s home. I just love it. You really are great at finding the most hilarious unflattering pictures of some celebrities. =)

    I didn’t know Kat Von D had broken up with this guy (again). I thought she dumped the Nazi to get back with this guy for 346th time?

    And yeah, Denise. I wish I could be surprised by this, but… Charlie Sheen. That is all.

  11. guesty says:

    irv!! liked her show as well. wow…she must be really lonely!!!

  12. Alexa says:

    HE’S 52?!! (And she’s 39?) That must be SOME powerful embalming fluid those docs use in CA!

  13. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Nikki Sixx is one of my dirty shameful crushes. I have no doubt that he is a walking herpe but he totally does it for me. I can only explain it that way back when MTV played actual music videos, Motley Crue was on tv alot.

  14. Rio says:

    Dear God, she looks UTTERLY INSANE.
    That soul patch…thing…is bothering me. I want to yank it a quarter of an inch over to the left.

  15. Sara says:

    People, the crazy eyes are usually the result of two things.

    1)too much botox
    2)contacts

  16. Missy says:

    Her face is just crazy and irritating. Not sure why but she just bugs the crap out of me. I think Nikki can do better.

  17. Hakura says:

    @Missy- You think Nikki can do better? xD Yeah, she’s totally annoying, but he’s going from Kat Von D to Denise. I don’t know, I still think THAT was an upgrade.

    I guess Kat just bugs me a hell of a lot more with her complete overwhelming arrogance.

  18. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    I hate her big a$$ eyes. But Nikki is actually a really nice guy.

    He just looks weird.

  19. jenniferb says:

    I’m sorry but Nikki Sixx is part of my teen’s & I love him so! He looks great for his age. As a matter of fact, so do I.

  20. Steph2585 says:

    @dread pirate cuervo…..i totally agree!! i’ve loved nikki sixx for years and years. he’s strangely sexy.

    I would LOOOVE if these two got together!!!
    I enjoy them both so much!!
    And I actually think they could be really good for each other.

  21. Green Is Good says:

    Yikes, Denise has her Crazy Coke-Fiend Face firming screwed on. Scary.

  22. 4Real says:

    I’m sorry but NIKKI SIX was the baddes…hottest rocker EVER! Compared to whimpy Richie and dirty Charlie…I say he’s an UPGRADE!!

  23. Arianna says:

    i actually kind of like denise too hahahahaah
    fuck she’s crazy but i love it!

    but ugh not the hideous long soul patch nooooo

  24. craigc says:

    duh.

  25. Happymom says:

    Isn’t there some sort of happy medium between an accountant and an old, drugged out rocker? Shouldn’t she be over this bad boy phase by now (especially as a mother of young girls)?

  26. Zzzzzzzzzz says:

    The sad thing is, at 52 and with all that hard living, Nikki Sixx STILL looks better than Denise Richards. She’s looking really haggard these days.

    And so it seems Sixx and KVD are over, and she’s back with Jesse James again. Oh the drama.

  27. crab says:

    Haha, he looks like he’s about ready to sneeze in all the pictures!

  28. Rio says:

    @ Sara
    If contacts make your eyes do that, 12% of the US population (myself included) would be going around looking like they’re about to unhinge their jaw and swallow you whole.

    …unless by “contacts” you’re talking about snorting the contact lens cleaner. Now that I can see.

  29. December says:

    I’ve always thought Nikki was hot, even though he’s old enough to be my father.

    Though now that I think of it, the majority of my male Hollywood crushes are definitely old enough to be my father.

    Ah, Freud would have a field day with me.

  30. truthzbetta says:

    Used to think she was so naturally beautiful and sweet. Then found out the tatas are plastic, the blotchy orange tan is outta control, and the life choices were just plain crazy.

    Plastic Cans MARRIED Charlie Sheen, and then did even worse! Poor, cute kids and this old man Sheen parade.

    Nikki Sixx has gray roots which does not go with the snarl and neck tats.

    They both have such great clothes I want to see them on someone relevant.

  31. Jen says:

    I have his book the Heroin Diaries and he honestly seems like a guy who just went down an incredibly screwed up path. I think he’s a good guy, though. I hope the two of them have a great relationship and fill whatever voids they have in their lives. I loathe Kat Von D (nasty, famewhore skank) and never liked them as a couple to begin with. Good for Nikki and good for Denise.

  32. Jen says:

    P.S. I still think he’s hot. I’d still do him – if he wore five condoms.

  33. Pammy says:

    She’s trimmed up, now I know why. At least he is a reformed bad-boy. Her poor daughters.

  34. dudslove says:

    ITA, that show of hers was hilarious and her dad is the cutest thing — I miss that damn, m-effin’ show — especially when he would make her get rid of her shoes when she cussed — ha!

  35. lucy2 says:

    Sounds about right.
    Does she have a “Famous Bad Boy” punch card she’s trying to finish or something? What does she win if she nails them all?

  36. janie says:

    yeah i thought she was kind of endearing on the show. i would be a little disappointed if she went for anything but a former heroin addict. at least she is consistent.

  37. Saoirse says:

    @31-I’ve got his book too, and what an incredibly messed up tale it is. I’m actually in the middle of re-reading it again for the billionth time (LOL). I still have major respect for Nikki though because he was able to beat his addiction and overcome a lot of anger he used to have in his life. Personally, I think he’s a HUGE upgrade from Charlie Sheen…that guy is just a pig. At least Nikki is a nice guy.

  38. malachais says:

    @4real, I agree. Nikki is pretty awesome, he may be older but that doesn’t take away from his greatness.

    Denise has a thing for old rockers so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Considering they both have gone through tumultuous relationships, it just might work out.

  39. JenJen says:

    Wow,can’t wait till she hooks up with Messy Jessie James and gets her payback. She saw Kat with Nikki, had to have him. Saw Heather with Richie and happy,had to destroy that(pregnant or not,GAG). Been all down hill for poor Heather since then,thanks to this hairy home-wrecking ho.

  40. REALIST says:

    Wh-a-a-t? Aside from the repulsion factor, you can’t convince me this guy is stable. But then, no one could be worse than Charlie Sheen…

  41. Liana says:

    Now, I go for the bad boy rockers, but I wouldn’t do Nikki Sixx with someone else’s vagina.

  42. SixxKitty says:

    NO!!! He’s my lover, dammit! I just love love love him, i even have a tattoo of him, the SixxKitty is no accident… But I have to wonder, could I date him after he dated her…*shudders*

  43. Maritza says:

    The guy looks great for his age, except for that closeup. I think Denise and Nikki would make a very cute couple. But a rock star is not marriage material.

  44. Hakura says:

    I could see what most people are saying about Nikki, and if he’s really a decent guy, even more so.

    But he just looks like if you *touched* him, you’d have grease on you that even 6 showers couldn’t budge. *shudder*

  45. Kim says:

    She has the worst taste in men. She obviously doesnt want a steady relationship- not with the kind of men she dates.

    And EWW Nikki Sixx – ugly and goodness knows where his prvates have been – yuck!

  46. Runs with Scissors says:

    his beard = gina-face = deal breaker and she looks like a coked out ferret in that header pic.

  47. Eastbay says:

    I have loved Nikki Sixx since I was 13, (I’m 36 now). He is beautiful, and always has been. I am still holding out hope….

  48. Erect says:

    I used to think she was really hot. Now? Not so much, at least in these pics. She looks seriously high.

  49. Eastbay says:

    Yep, I went from Kirk Cameron, directly to Nikki Sixx as my boy of choice to plaster my walls, my poor mom

  50. Dea says:

    She looks like an idiot all that botox and spray tan, Whats with the wide stance in the picture , gotta a problem Denise? She tries to act like she lives for her daughters and look what she runs with?!

  51. jen says:

    He just looks like a train wreck of bad decisions. She must be on drugs…wait, that makes sense now.

  52. OfficialBitch says:

    Yeah she is nuts, lives in my neighby.
    Contacts to make her eyes “bluer”
    Nice wig Nikki.

  53. Sassy says:

    I admit I kinda liked Denise on her reality show. Her dad was adorable on the show!

    Nikki needs a new fucking look (and long, hot shower). The 80s ARE GONE.

  54. mikkimoondust says:

    I love my Nikki. I have since the day I laid eyes on him. I know as much about him as my own family. From all accounts, Nikki is a great guy. He looks great for his age. No that is not a wig. He is a real down to earth person. He is a good father to his own children. He will be wonderful to those little girls. He has his charity “Wild in the Night” to help runaways for crying out loud. I just hope that HE is making a good choice! In my book: She must be ok if he fancies her.

  55. S says:

    Her face terrifies me.

  56. anon says:

    ewwW!!!!

  57. Christy Crue says:

    We just want Nikki to be happy….if Denise does it for him…then that is wonderful…Nikki Sixx is HOT, he is a true Rock ICON and when Rock Music History takes a look back at the accomplishments this man has attained, he will be highly revered. Make no mistake about that..he is a true genuis. Denise is a beautiful woman…I wish them well..they both deserve happiness….:)

  58. Jennifer says:

    Love Nikki Sixx. What an amazing story he has. Talented and true rock star!

  59. Shannon says:

    WelL, If this is what makes Nikki Sixx happy! then, I say all the power to him. Nikki is not a low life, amount to nothing, greasy rock n roll dude. Yes! in his earlier days he maybe almost played that role. And he did alot of drugs and girls he probolbly can’t even remember! And died and was left in a dumpster, from an overdose of herion But look where he is now! Not only is he a rock n roll legend! (in Motley Crue!) But he is also in a band called Sixx-A.M. and for those of you who don’t know if you want to take the time and talk and put someone down that you don’t really know then take the time and look up what Sixx A.M is all about their music is all about recovery!! He might have been going down the wrong path for awhile and making alot of bad decisions (Like this one too) But he was smart enough to pull himself out of it! Unlike alot of stars who die too! He is talented musician, author, Has hios own radio show now called sixx-sense. He is a photoigrapher. He has alot of accomplishments. The only thing I really see her accomplishing is all the rock n roll dudes that have alot of money! I am guessing that this wont last too long Just long enough until some one who fancies her butt again with more money or more fame! Hmm whats that say??
