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.’

Denise Richards is shown outside of MTV’s TRL on 5/21/08, thanks to PRPhotos.

There are all different levels of bad ideas. There’s obvious ones like walking into traffic, and less obvious ones, like spending the day with Mel Gibson – it could go either way. But pretty much anything having to do with OJ Simpson is guaranteed to be a bad idea. It could even be spending a day with OJ Simpson petting kittens, and I assure you, something really, really bad will come of it. According to Page Six, OJ has expressed his desire to appear on Celebrity Apprentice – and Donald Trump and NBC are vaguely considering it.

It looks like there could be “killer” ratings in store for TV’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” if OJ Simpson gets his way. Page Six has learned the creepy double-murder acquittee has asked Donald Trump to allow him to appear on the top-rated NBC show next season. “Simpson really wants to do it. Trump and NBC are thinking about it, but are being very cautious,” our source said. “There’s a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson.”

[From the New York Post]

A certain amount of heat? That’s the understatement of the year. Yeah there’s generally some heat associated with murderers. Especially when you put them on reality shows. I wonder in what capacity Simpson would like to appear? Does he want to be one of the contestants, or is he hoping to appear in one of the challenges? Here’s an idea for a challenge: spend three hours in a room with OJ and try not to suffer a panic attack resulting from the absolute assurance that you will wind up with a slashed throat. That was somehow your fault.

Everyone knows Donald Trump loves attention, and any kind of publicity is alright with him. And I pick on Donald a lot. But if he has the basic class to pass on this and not give OJ Simpson any more attention, I promise to make fun of him one less time a month. Or at least I’ll do my best.

It’s been a bad week for O.J. Simpson. But I hope every week is a bad week for him, so it makes me really happy to report that America’s number one murdering asshat has just received another financial judgment against him. A judge ruled that any earnings Simpson receives from lending his likeness to the video game “All-Pro Football 2K8” published by Take-Two Interactive Software, must be turned over to Fred Goldman, the father of murdered Ron Goldman. “All-Pro Football 2K8” features 240 former football greats, and Simpson’s virtual team is called “The Assassins,” and they have a knife-wielding mascot. That is really beyond disgusting. The double murderer will do anything for attention.

“The legal victory was part of an effort by Goldman’s estate to satisfy a $33.5 million judgment won against Simpson in a wrongful death suit brought against him in the 1994 stabbing deaths of Goldman and Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. The former star running back was acquitted of criminal charges in 1995 at the end of a sensational murder trial but was found legally responsible for their deaths by a civil court jury two years later.

“Simpson has maintained his innocence and vowed never to pay the jury award voluntarily.

“In their latest bid to collect on the civil judgment, the Goldmans went after any licensing fees, royalties or other compensation Simpson was paid or will be paid for his name and likeness in the new video game, ‘All-Pro Football 2K8.’

“As previewed on a Web site for video game promotional trailers, the team mascot is a hooded figure who makes stabbing motions with a large knife in the end zone when the Assassins score. Simpson does not have to be assigned to that team, but he was in a clip shown on the Game Trailers Web site.

“Take-Two has declined to say how it obtained rights to Simpson’s name and likeness but said he was compensated. The company also has issued a statement saying the knife-wielding Assassins mascot is ‘not specifically associated with O.J. Simpson, and the game does not promote any such connection.’”

That’s great. Because the American public is just dumb enough to buy that baloney, right? I’m sure it’s all coincidental. And your company gets a ton of free press, albeit it negative. I just don’t get O.J. He has publicly proclaimed that if all his earnings have to go to the Goldmans and the Browns, then he won’t work another day in his life. I’m not saying lending your likeness to a video game or ghostwriting a book is hard work, but the guy knows the money is going to go to the Goldmans. They aren’t stupid, and they are vengeful. They have every right to be. You would think that, if nothing else, Simpson wouldn’t want to capitalize on most people’s belief that he’s a murderer for the sake of his children. Even if they believe their father is innocent (and they probably do, he’s their father and he’s raised them) their mother was still murdered, and it’s incredibly poor taste to make money off her horrifically violent death.
