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.”

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:

We’ve heard conflicting stories as to whether Kat Von D and Jesse James are still on. US Weekly reported in their feel-good piece on Sandra Bullock’s vacation that Kat and Jesse were still dating, and that Kat was “just friends” with the other men she’s been spotted out with, like Bam Margera and her ex, Nikki Sixx. People Magazine also has a new piece about how Kat and Jesse were spotted out in LA over the weekend sharing an enchilada and looking very couple-y. Jesse recently shut down his West Coast Choppers customizing shop in Long Beach, CA, although TMZ reports that his other business there, Cisco Burger, is doing well and will continue to operate. Jesse of course moved to Austin, Texas, to concentrate on his business there and make sure that he haunts Sandra Bullock forever Sandra can see his kids.

TMZ has several stories that claim that tattoo artist Kat is back with Nikki Sixx and has deep sixed her relationship with Jesse. She supposedly demanded that scenes in which she trash talked Sixx be cut from her reality show, LA Ink, and that scenes where she’s shown going out with Jesse similarly be cut. That’s got to be expensive for producers to re-edit and reshoot to try and keep up with her love life.

More drama behind the scenes at “L.A. Ink” — where sources tell us Kat Von D went nuclear over the way her ex-boyfriend Jesse James was portrayed in an upcoming episode.

Multiple sources tell us the recent drama began in the last few days … after Kat viewed screeners of some upcoming episodes which spotlight her relationships with Jesse and her on-again BF Nikki Sixx.

We’re told Kat — who was dating Jesse when the show was being taped — has decided that she no longer wants any traces of him on the TLC show … and demanded that producers pull him from all future episodes.

Now, producers are desperately trying to rip Jesse from the show — but we’re told there’s so much content to remove … they’re worried they may to pack the show with extra commercials to fill out the time before the show airs Wednesday night.

Kat Von D just went nuclear on the producers of her reality show “L.A. Ink” — threatening a legal war over several scenes that feature Kat trash-talking her on-again boyfriend Nikki Sixx.

Sources close to the production tell us … Kat went ballistic on producers earlier this week when she viewed screeners for upcoming episodes of “Ink” which air on TLC starting Wednesday night … which contained several scenes featuring Kat going off about her then ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.

Here’s the problem — the footage was shot a while ago, while Kat was dating Jesse James … and back then, she still harbored some ill-feelings toward Nikki.

But now, Kat and Nikki are back together — and when Kat previewed the footage from the upcoming episodes, which contained the anti-Nikki smack talk, we’re told Kat “freaked out.”

We’re told Kat demanded producers re-edit the show ASAP — removing all negative Nikki references and killing a storyline involving a “Nikki vs. Jesse” theme … or else she would file legal papers in an attempt to stop the show dead in its tracks.

In the end — we’re told producers begrudgingly obliged and Kat’s comments will never see the light of day.

I’m getting the impression that if she keeps this up she won’t have a reality show for much longer. The market is crowded and there’s plenty of competition. Kat has a new book out, The Tattoo Chronicles, and is about to go on a two month book tour. She’s been tweeting a lot back and forth with Nikki Sixx, which makes it look like she’s at least still “friends” with the guy. It’s likely that Kat and Jesse are off-again and that someone in Sandra’s camp wants to make it seem like they’re still together. Or maybe Kat is willing to sleep with Jesse occasionally in exchange for the publicity.

As if we really needed confirmation after People Magazine suggested it! Life & Style’s Scene Queens claim that Kat Von D has officially dumped Jesse James, and she’s now back with her ex Nikki Sixx. So why did she even go with Jesse? She was using him for press, and she was using him to get back with Nikki… because I guess Nikki would have gotten jealous of Jesse? Ugh.

Life & Style’s Scene Queens can reveal that Kat Von D has not only dumped her controversial boyfriend after just two months, but she’s back with her ex-boyfriend Nikki Sixx.

“Kat used Jesse to win Nikki back, and it worked,” a pal of Kat’s tells the Scene Queens. “She also was using Jesse for the press.”

Kat, coincidentally, is promoting both her new book and TV show and was spotted out with Nikki on Oct. 5 at the House of Blues. Less than a week later, Kat was spotted with Jackass star (and rumored former flame) Bam Margera at Cleo restaurant.

When asked back in September if Jesse was the one, Kat said, “I believe he is, so yeah,” but the once hot-and-heavy couple have not been spotted together since Oct. 3. “Jesse and Kat are definitely over. Done,” a pal of Jesse’s tells the Scene Queens. “He’s in Austin, she’s in LA.”

Well… from what I’ve seen, Bam Margera is with a girlfriend whose name I don’t know, so I don’t think there’s anything going on between Kat and Bam. But I think everything else is probably true. I’m kind of glad Kat was the one to dump Jesse – I don’t like Kat or anything, but it’s always nice to see a jackass like Jesse get dumped by some trashy girl.
