The problem with being stupid, a liar and an attention whore is that you aren’t smart enough to know when to keep your mouth shut, nor are you smart enough to realize that people might actually look into the so called “facts” you impart on national television. Such seems to be the case with Denise Richards, who has been hitting all the talks shows over the past week to promote her hideous E! reality show, “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.” Denise did an interview with “Extra,” in which she claimed that she is doing this sham of a show because she is a single mom and “has bills to pay like everyone else.” Extra did a little investigating and found out she’s not in such bad financial shape after all- show or no show.

Denise insists she’s doing the show because she’s a single mother. “I’ll be honest with you — I need work,” said Richards, “I need to support my children. I have bills like anyone else.”

Denise could make nearly a half-million dollars from her new show! “Extra” also uncovered recent reports showing the actress is pulling in more than $40 million for less than three years of marriage — which includes a $7 million divorce settlement, $20 million in syndication royalties from Sheen’s “Two and a Half Men” TV show, and nearly $10 million in tax-free child support over the next 15 years.

But the inconsistencies in Denise’s story don’t end there. The so-called actress has gone on record several times talking about how she is a full time, hands-on mom. But once again, Extra found that to be not quite true as well:

Although the actress says, “I’m a good mom — I don’t want nannies raising my kids,” Richards has two nannies for the girls, plus one full-time assistant, one full-time pet caretaker, and one full-time live-in housekeeper!

And finally, Extra dug around after the whole “tranny infested sperm” incident, in which Denise claimed that an e-mail sent to Charlie Sheen’s new fiancee was doctored.

Denise also talks about the e-mail making news everywhere, which she allegedly sent to Charlie’s fiancée Brooke Mueller, asking for another baby from Charlie. The email reads in part, “I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it’s any of your business. This wasn’t to have sex with him, it was him donating.” Denise claims the e-mail is doctored, telling Extra “This is garbage… this is not an e-mail I sent to anyone - period.” Charlie plans to have a computer DNA expert analyze the e-mail to prove no part of it has been altered

Sheen wasted no time shooting back at Denise through a statement released by his rep. While Sheen has been far from a saint throughout this entire saga, he has definitely come across as the one showing the most restraint in public. Which is weird, considering he’s, you know, Charlie Sheen. It is rumored that Sheen has approached ‘Extra’ to hire a third-party computer forensics expert to examine the validity of the “Tranny Infested Sperm” e-mail. If that happens, Denise could be seriously screwed.

“Her claims that her e-mail has been fabricated or altered in any way to create this story are absurd. The mere fact that she continues to publicly discuss and harass both Brooke and me three years after our separation, which for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes.”

Meanwhile, all the PR in the world can’t seem to save Denise’s reality show- which has been ripped by the critics. Entertainment Weekly gave it a grade of D-, while the Boston Herald dubbed it a ‘Steaming pile of pig poop.’

If I could be start life again and choose who I would be born as, I would be Mark A. Perigard. Who? The brilliant reviewer for the Boston Herald, who started off his review of Denise Richards’ new reality show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated with the following: “Denise Richards’ life is one steaming pile of pig poop.”

While he goes on to explain a little more – turns out pig poop really does play a central role in Richards’ life – the metaphor sticks. And when you reflect on all the negative press Richards and ex-husband Charlie Sheen have been engaging in towards each other over the last few weeks, you realize that her life really is pig poop, and nothing more. Man I love feeling superior.

In the debut of her allegedly unscripted series “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” the actress, ex-wife of Charlie Sheen and tabloid mainstay heads up a household stuffed with humans and animals. It’s hard to tell who matters more. In the opener, her pet pigs win out.

Two pigs mount each other in a soft glow as Muzak plays. Is this humorous? Animal Planet would show more discretion. Producer Ryan Seacrest (“American Idol”) seems to have lost his grip halfway through the episode. I for one cannot scrub the image out of my head of one of her dogs eating pig poo. Thank you, Seacrest.

In the human side of this heroic life, Richards is trolling for a new man. It’s hard finding one who can (ewww) measure up to her standards. “Everyone says I need to date a normal guy. What is normal, anyway? For me, normal is a famous actor or a rock star. That’s normal,” she says.

She reluctantly agrees to a blind date, but the man inadvertently trips her gaydar. Sheen went public with complaints that Richards was using their toddlers in the series to rehab her image. The kids are cute, but they’re like everything else here - part of the wallpaper of Richards’ ditzy life.

[From the Boston Herald]

Charlie Sheen infamously called Denise Richards a “sad, jobless pig” in an email last fall. I guess she decided to roll with it. Apparently we’re supposed to see Denise as this “complicated” woman who’s beautiful but will still scoop the pig poo when she needs to. Something tells me it won’t work.

Sheen’s argument that Richards is using their daughters Sam and Lola has some validity. I’ve never seen one single picture of their kids when they don’t look absolutely miserable – especially when they’re with Denise. Seriously, regular kids learn to smile for the camera. Yet the little daughters of two “famous” celebrities can’t muster it.

It’s actually really sad to look at their faces. I’m wondering if the show will manage to edit enough to make it seem like Sam and Lola are actually happy, or if we’ll be subjected to a half hour’s proof that these kids in are in for a lifetime of suckitude.

Denise Richards was on Larry King yesterday, and in case you’re wondering how a washup-up actress who’s launching a reality show is scoring an interview on Larry King, Larry mentioned his “friend” Ryan Seacrest, who is producing the show, at the beginning of the interview. (Seacrest is rumored to be replacing King when the talk show host inevitably retires.)

Richards went over the same old tired ground she always treads: her friendship with Heather Locklear was over before she was with Richie Sambora; Heather and Richie had split before she started dating him; her ex husband Charlie Sheen is spreading lies about her, etc.

People Magazine is reporting that Richards told Matt Lauer on The Today Show, that the e-mail she sent to Charlie Sheen’s girlfriend, Brooke Mueller, reportedly asking for Charlie’s sperm to have another child with him was doctored and that’s not what she wrote. Mueller and Sheen claim that Richards was trying to reconcile with Sheen and was rejected, but now she’s saying that e-mail was changed to make it out to be something it wasn’t. This is the same thing she said on Larry King Live, but she didn’t sound convincing at all to me. King had to press her to get her to answer the question, and she did it in a roundabout way:

KING: Our guest is Denise Richards. Her new reality show, “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated,” premiers on E on May 26th. I want to further clarify something. Someone said that there’s supposed to be an e-mail about sperm and you and what is it?

RICHARDS: You know what? Like I said, every chance that Charlie tries to discredit me or say negative things about me in the press, he does. And the fact of the matter is I have no desire to have another child with Charlie. Nothing against his sperm. I have two beautiful kids but I don’t want anymore of it.

KING: There’s no e-mail that exists –

RICHARDS: No truthful e-mail that exists.

KING: Is this supposed to be an e-mail from you to him?

RICHARDS: There’s supposed to be an e-mail from me to his girlfriend.

KING: Saying?

RICHARDS: Saying that I want his sperm and wanted to get back together, which — the date of that e-mail, I was with Richie. So if I wanted anyone’s sperm, it would have been Richie’s sperm, not Charlie’s.

KING: I — so this is a phony e-mail, you think?

RICHARDS: This is a doctored e-mail.

KING: Doctored e-mail?

RICHARDS: Yes.

[From Transcripts.CNN.com]

She doesn’t deny it right away, she says they’re trying to smear her, she was with Richie Sambora based on the “date of the e-mail.” If she didn’t send it, why didn’t she say straight away “they faked that e-mail and changed what I wrote.” She skirts around it instead and only says the e-mail is doctored once King prompts her.

And today she told Matt Lauer flat out that the e-mail was doctored. It sounds to me like she’s trying to get her story straight:

“That e-mail is not legitimate,” Richards, 37, told interviewer Matt Lauer. “It’s a doctored e-mail. I would never send an e-mail to his … girlfriend, and, at the time of that e-mail, I was with Richie [Sambora]. If I wanted anybody’s sperm, I’d have asked for Richie’s.”

[From People.com]

Again, she’s relying on the date of the e-mail and saying she was with Richie so why would she say that? It just sounds fishy.

As for Sambora, Richards told Larry King that “Richie and I are still friends. We will always be friends,” but she said she doesn’t communicate with Charlie and “I do not know this person. And I have children with him.”

On Sambora’s DUI, Richards said “He made a mistake. He feels terrible about it. And the irony is he’s — with the whole child endangerment, he’s an amazing father. And he’s stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for his mistake.”

Ironic how she defends a guy she dated for less than a year for getting a DUI with his daughter in the car but attacks the husband and father of her two children every chance she gets. Sheen isn’t an innocent party in all this, but the more Richards talks the better he looks.

14 year-old Ali Lohan was on David Letterman last night to promote her new reality show “Living Lohan.” She was cute, well spoken and comfortable on stage although she did wear a lot of makeup for a 14 year-old. She said they’re doing the show “to set the record straight and we’re not just this crazy family, crazy people like to tabloids make us out to be.” She said “we’re just a normal family like any other family in America.”

Dave asked Ali if she was close with Lindsay, and she said “she’s like my best friend.” She refused to say whether Lindsay would make an appearance on the show and said “you’ll have to watch.”

Ali called herself a “singer and actress” and said she’s working on her latest album this summer.

Dave asked Ali if she visits her sister on set, and she said she’s always done that, and “that’s what inspired me to do what she does.” She said when she was three she used to run up to her sister on set when she was filming “Parent Trap” and they had to do a lot of takes because she was always interrupting.

Ali talked about her five dogs, including a puppy that’s a “micro mini Maltese.” They showed what they said was the dog in the green room, but it was just a computer-generated image to make her dog look tiny. Ali said her little Maltese, Buddy, has low blood sugar.

Dave said “getting back to the show will there be a lot of drama, a lot of tension, a lot of fighting, a lto of intrigue?” and Ali said “Yeah, we’re just like a normal family so whatever.”

At the end of the interview, Dave closed by saying “Lindsay Lohan” everyone, and then corrected himself. It seemed to me like it was a mistake and not a planned joke. It’s a telling slip, considering how much Ali says she wants to be like her sister. Maybe Ali can pick up Lindsay’s career where she dropped it on the floor when she got distracted by vodka and overpriced purses.

The videos are below and there’s also one of an Access Hollywood interview with Dina and Ali. Dina Lohan is a piece of work and it’s surprising how normal Ali seems.

Here’s the part where Dave calls Ali “Lindsay”

And here’s the full interview:

And an interview on “Showbiz Tonight” with Ali and Dina Lohan. Dina sure seems defensive and snotty.

E! Networks has a new preview available for Lindsay’s mom Dina’s upcoming reality show, Living Lohan.

The preview is filled with such cringe-inducing and cliché statements as “A lion protects her cubs,” and “It’s a big game of chess and it’s our move. Bring it on now, let’s go.”

Dina is shown discovering the still from older daughter Lindsay’s alleged sex tape with ex Calum Best that turned out to be two different people entirely. 14 year-old Ali comes in the room, smiling and gaping at the computer monitor. Dina then makes some phone calls threatening someone about the photo that’s supposed to be Lindsay, saying “you need to get it down immediately because I’ve already been in touch with my attorneys, and the story is absolutely false.”

Dina says “there’s got to be boundaries with these people, the paparazzi and everything. There’s just got to be more boundaries set.” That’s rich coming from a woman who is letting cameras into her two younger children’s life!

As for 14 year-old Ali, who says she wants to be just like her older sister, Lindsay, Dina claims “Ali loves this business, and unfortunately I have to manage her.”

Unfortunately you have to let the whole world know exactly how you’re messing up your two other kids, Dina, but that doesn’t mean we have to watch it.

The NY Post has more details of the first episode, which sounds like it shows Dina in just as accurate a light as you expect:

The pilot episode, called “Mommy Will Fix It,” centers around the family’s North Merrick, LI, McMansion.

See Dina buffer her family from rumor, protect Ali’s music taste from execs, and help Ali cope with her music producer Jeremy Greene, who is rumored to be dating big sis Lindsay.

“You’re not here to please anyone but you as an artist,” she says to Ali during a conference call with music execs.

In her daily news search for all things Lohan, Dina, 45, says she’s looking for “idiots who are talking trash.”

“I don’t live my life every day going, ‘Oh, they’re talking about us,’ ” Dina snaps. “I’m over it. Yes, it still does hurt, but people are just idiots.”

“Oh God, everyone’s talking about Lindsay’s intervention,” she mimics in a valley-girl voice. “This is so stupid. They better not talk about Ali like this, or there’s going to be war. I’m like a lion with her cubs…”

[From The NY Post]

The real bombshell is this tidbit at the end of The Post’s story, though, which claims that Dina went partying, leaving Ali, 14, and Cody, 11, at home alone when a fire broke out in the house! This is the first I’ve heard of it, so if it’s true it was likely a small fire that they were able to contain and keep from reaching the press. It’s unclear from this story when this happened exactly or if it will be included in the show.

And mom’s right there with the bad girls - leaving the kids at home to carouse at a party thrown in her honor, only to discover that her Long Island house had caught fire with her children asleep inside, says a source close to the family.

When the family hits Las Vegas to record Ali’s first album, Dina meets with Hefner at the Palms and allegedly “allows herself to have a little fun” during a dinner with magician Lance Burton.

[From The NY Post]

That’s awful although the kids are surely ok if this is all we’re hearing about it. Do you think the house fire inspired Dina to hire a babysitter or stay home with her kids more?

If Denise Richards stops talking about her divorce from Charlie Sheen and her rebound relationship with married Richie Sambora, she will drop off the face of the earth, which is why she never, ever shuts her big yap about it. Ever. Now that she has her Ryan Seacrest-produced E! reality show to promote, the familiar can of worms has been reopened for the pages of Redbook- but nobody told Denise that those worms are dead, dried up and forgotten.

Were there periods when you believed Charlie’s and your relationship could work?
Yes. Like with any disintegrating relationship you always have those moments when you forget about the bad. Then, of course, I discovered I was pregnant with Lola.

Was that scary or hopeful?
I was happy because I loved being a mother, but I was also terrified. Deep down, I knew we weren’t going to make it. Charlie was happy, though, and that made me feel a little better. But I still ended up filing for divorce when I was six months pregnant. That was the hardest day of my life.

Was there a sense of relief when you did finally file?
I remember the day. I called my mom crying and I said to her, “I escaped the insanity.” And that’s how I felt, that I had been trapped.

Do you think that there is a false perception out there that you’re a seductress?
Well, of course, those are only parts I’ve played in movies. It’s funny; it’s taken me a long time to look at myself as a business from which I make my money. I know that when I did Playboy magazine five months after I had Sam, I was selling a sexy image. At home, I don’t think of myself as sexy. I scoop up dog poop and clean up my kids’ vomit when they’re sick. I wake up looking disheveled and throw on a pair of sweats while I make their breakfast. I hope to have a husband who thinks that’s sexy, but that’s not the perception people have of me. They see me on a magazine cover stealing someone’s husband or wearing very little clothes in a movie—but that’s just an image. And I’m made my money selling that image for better or worse.

Can you play the wholesome girl next door?
I’ve tried to play that girl. I’ve battled with my agents about that and they say, “People don’t see you as the type of girl who has boyfriend problems.” And even when I say, “But I’ve had those problems,” unfortunately, that’s just the way it is. I’m the bitchy girl who steals husbands. I’m finally getting to a place where that’s okay if that’s my niche.

[From Redbook]

“I’ve tried to play that girl.” Uh, yeah, Denise. We’ve all seen your acting. You couldn’t even get cast to play yourself in a movie of your life, okay?

As if beating that dead horse wasn’t enough, Denise also rehashes the details of her icky romance with Bon Jovi guitarist/drunken driver Richie Sambora.

Is part of your goal with your reality show to show the world your other sides?
This show is a great opportunity for people to really see me for who I am. And if they want to say, “She’s still that bitch that stole someone’s husband,” then so be it. At least they’ll say, “She’s the bitch that stole someone’s husband, but she likes dogs and has three pot-bellied pigs.” At least they will be able to see that I have different layers.

You started dating Richie Sambora a few months after filing for divorce, and were accused of breaking up your friend Heather Locklear’s marriage…
I was no longer friends with Heather months before Richie and I got together. I don’t want to say what caused the split, but she and I weren’t even speaking then.

She likes pot-bellied pigs. Finally, I understand what she saw in Sambora.

Denise’s reality show airs this summer on E!, and the channel is airing commercials for it every 3.5 seconds. I can’t even stand it! How’s a person supposed to enjoy “The Soup” with her obnoxious mug flashing on the screen all the time?

Heidi Montag and her giant teeth were on the Late Show last night. She wore a pink slip dress that looked like lingerie and explained the plot of her faux reality show, The Hills. She talked about her feud with Lauren Conrad and about Lauren’s sex tape with Jason Wahler, which she says exists even though Lauren tried to make it seem like she made it up.

Dave asked “How much of this is actual and how much is professional wrestling?”
Heidi answered “I wish it was professional wrestling because then we’d be the smartest cast ever”

Dave showed the Rolling Stone cover featuring all The Hills women, and Heidi said that they weren’t Photoshopped together and that “unfortunately we were all there.” She said that everyone else had a good time and that she just wanted to get out of there.

As for when she’s going to marry Spencer, Heidi said she’s young now and seemed to suggest that it will be a while.

The thing that bothered me about the interview is that Dave took the whole thing so seriously while Heidi blathered on about her feud with Lauren and about how Lauren shouldn’t tell her who to date. He made a few good natured jokes but he really didn’t challenge her or put her down like I would have liked to have seen. Heidi has those awful songs out and a new trashy clothing line and Dave didn’t mention either of those things, probably because her handlers told him they were off limits.

Can you guys please explain to me why these Hills characters are everywhere all of a sudden? I know this is a popular show for MTV but from what I’ve seen it’s just a poorly acted soap opera with reality elements. I’ve really been trying to ignore these people, and I don’t cover their petty little fights because it all seems like high school bullshit to me. It’s almost impossible to avoid them, though, and they seem to have weasled their way into popular culture. I just hope this trend fades as quickly as it seems to have begun.

Joe Simpson seems absolutely intent on wrecking as much of his daughters’ lives as he possibly can. Truly, if he sat down with a marker, paper, and poster board and drew out some type of chart titled, “Ways to Interfere with/Mess Up Offspring & Impede All Forms of Happiness,” he could not have done a better job. Which is why I’m pretty sure he’s planned this all out. Because any quasi-sane, loving parent would have stepped off by now and said, “You know what? Whatever I touch, I ruin. Maybe I should stop touching things.” And I mean that exactly how it sounds, Joe Simpson. Perv.

Anyway, Joe has decided he wasn’t satisfied just ruining daughter Jessica’s life with his domineering, interfering ways while filming the Newlyweds with now ex-husband Nick Lachey. There’s a reason Nick’s an ex, and it rhymes with and looks just like Papa Joe. Simpson has decided (seemingly without involving his daughter in the decision) that Ashley and new fiancé Pete Wentz are going to do their own Newlyweds show. Because why wreck just one marriage when you can wreck two?

Get yourself ready for the return of MTV’s Newlyweds — with a twist! Instead of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, it’s Simpson version 2.0 is coming your way, with Jessica’s little sister, Ashlee Simpson, 23, and fiancé, Pete Wentz, 28, set to appear as the couple in the hit MTV format — at least if Joe Simpson gets his way!

Never one to miss a money-making opportunity, Ashlee’s dad and manager Joe seems determined to turn this idea into a reality. “He knows that no one cared about Jessica before her reality show, and he’s hoping a show for Ashlee will have the same effect,” a source close to the singer tells OK!.

With a wedding on the horizon, a baby on the way and a famous rocker fiancé, Ashlee’s life has all the ingredients for a reality show. (Ashlee and Pete’s publicist tells OK! they are not set to appear in Newlyweds.) If the program comes off, let’s hope the Bittersweet World singer’s love story doesn’t end the same way as her sister’s failed marriage.

[From OK!]

Touché, OK. Touché. Never did I think I could wholeheartedly agree with anything that came from the printing press of OK Magazine, but they’re pretty much right on the ball on this one. The Simpson girls clearly don’t have the spine to stand up to their father. I was hoping one of their spouses would have, but if I were a betting woman, I would have gone with Nick Lachey long before I could imagine Pete Wentz standing up to Papa Joe. And I think he’s a little too busy sharpening his eyeliner pencil to be bothered. The sad thing is, I’d probably watch this show, if only to yell at Joe Simpson.

A lot of people would probably like to ban Brooke Hogan from being within 100 yards of them. I sure would. Imagine if the whole world could get a restraining order against her. How glorious that would be. Well three Florida universities have managed to ban her – or at least deny her admission to their fine academic halls. I know, I’m jealous too. I wish I could not just ban Brooke from places but also banish her to places – several volcanic, deserted islands come to mind.

Brooke, 19, wants to film her family’s crap-ass reality show Hogan Knows Best on campus – and in the classroom - thus totally disrupting the lives of the thousands of other students for her benefit. Luckily the first three schools she applied to were smart enough to say no.

Hoping to film the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best with a nine-camera-wielding production team, the young member of the wrestler’s family was denied admission at those institutions [the University of South Florida, Florida State University and the University of Central Florida] out of concerns that she and her crew might disrupt the others students’ academic lives, the Palm Beach Post reports.

The upshot was, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Hogan (real name: Brooke Ellen Bollea) went to the southeast coast of the Sunshine State and toured the campus of Florida Atlantic University – where she met with Student Government president Tony Teixeira and sorority and fraternity members, as well as tooled around the grounds on two golf carts hired by the show.

No decision has been made regarding Hogan’s permission to film on campus – or even if she’ll be admitted as a student, says the newspaper, which does quote FAU spokeswoman Kristine McGrath as saying, “The university would not agree to an arrangement that would be disruptive to the academic setting.”

[From People]

All three of the universities that declined to accept Brooke said they declined to accept her because they don’t want a show filmed on their campus and in their classrooms. But here’s what confuses me: if Brooke applied to these schools and had grades good enough to get in, wouldn’t she have been accepted – but just told that she couldn’t film there? Something makes me think this is just some PR on the part of the Hogan family to cover up for Brooke not getting accepted into all three schools that she’s been blabbing about.

Jennifer Lopez is really spending a lot of time with her newborn twins, judging from all the statements she’s made and the projects she’s taking on. She told People Magazine that she’s training for a triathlon because she wants “her babies to be proud” of her. Now she’s taking on a reality television show for TLC, and she describes it as a “very special journey,” but only mentions her business projects, not her new daughter and son:

The pop diva and new mama made a surprise appearance on Wednesday at the Discovery Network’s Upfront at Jazz at NYC’s Lincoln Center to talk about her new show.

The reality show will debut on TLC, and will be a series about her life. “It will be a special journey,” Lopez said. “I’m launching my fragrance and working on a movie.” J.Lo revealed she went through a very creative process while pregnant, and might even consider running a triathalon now that her babies are born.

[From OK! Magazine]

The press release from TLC says that it “deliver a slice of (Lopez’s) life that audiences have never seen before, as she takes on her career and launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her new responsibilities as a first time mom,” but it sounds like the network is the only one mentioning her role as a mother.

It’s possible she doesn’t want the focus to be on her children because of the potential risk to them, but why make a reality show at all? Oh that’s right, she needs to keep raking in the bucks so that she can buy the twins the best things in the world, because they would rather have couture fashion and designer toys instead of a mother who dotes on them.

I guess this challenges my assumption that reality shows are a last ditch effort by washed up or relatively low-level celebrities to get back in the public eye, because surely J.Lo is above all that.
