Thanks CelebBabyLover and Zoe Girl for the support and not bashing my opinions on how Denise seemed to get the brunt of the bad press.

I thought that the show where they made the bears for the girls was so sad and inspirational at the same time. I never would have even thought about making bears out of fabrics from thier Grandma’s belongings. I’m sure Denise will have the girls save those bears forever. It was such a great idea.

I enjoyed afew other shows they had as well. I thought it was funny when Denise was babysitting her nephews and the oldest boy had a few friends over and one brought over the Playboy she was in. It was funny and yet an awkward time for her to discuss the pictures with him. I think she handled it pretty well though.

I agree with you Zoe that Charlie has had his problems in the past that were far more serious than anything Denise has ever done, yet we look past it because she was one that walked away. I remember that they tried to work things out after she had Lola because I remember seeing pictures of them on the beach somewhere on vacation together.

I also remember when they first started dating before they had thier girls, everyone was so pleased with Charlie because he was starting to get his life back on track which I think she had something to do with. This was when he was on Spin City with Heather Locklear but I guess people have forgotten since it’s been so long ago?

Hopefully someday people will treat her fairly again.

Well said Lisa! I couldn’t agree with you more!
I have always liked Denise and feel that she really took far more than her share of the blame in the whole Charlie/Denise/Richie/Heather saga. It seemed that overnight people forgot ALL about Charlie’s past exploits (which in my opinion are far worse than anything Denise ever did) but because he plays a funny, likeable guy on tv and she is a strong, capable woman on her own, so many people sympathized with Charlie all the while crucifying her.
In any case, I really enjoyed her show (the one dedicated to her mother where they made the bears for Sam and Lola had me in tears!!!!)and I think she has two of the most adorable children in Hollywood by far!

Denise’s father Irv is a total sweetheart. I’m glad that her daughters have him in their life.

I have a new found empathy for Denise Richards. I really like her. Its hard being a single mom, and being in the spot light doesn’t help. As for the pic, they probably just caught Lola at a bad moment, it happens. Stop being so critical of them.

Is it just me, or is the blanket ( looks like Little Giraffe) really dirty?

I would like to add that I expressed MY opinion on why I didn’t continue to watch the show. I’m allowed to do that. I didn’t call Denise a bad mother, I just stated that I was uncomfortable with the cursing so I changed the channel. Again, I am allowed to have that opinion and make that choice. I have expressed nothing but fondness for those two little girls. They are precious.

I will agree with a previous poster on Denise’s father, Irv. He is a lovely man! In fact, he was the best part of the show and it was very, very apparent that he adored and cared for (emotionally and literally) those two sweet little girls. I think Irv needs his own reality show!

Neither her or her sister ever look happy.

Lisa- Very well said! I caught a little of her show once (I was channel surfing, saw it, and decided to watch a bit of it…Mostly, I’ll admit, to see Sam and Lola!), and it seemed okay to me. Densie DOES seems to have a great relationship with her dad, and the girls seemed pretty happy in that particular episode.

As for her cursing…I am very against cursing, but I realize that some people just have potty mouths. Is that neccesarily right? No. However, nobody’s perfect!

Given that the photo is so upclose, and Denise is smiling so happily, Denise probably called the paps in herself
