So sick of EH. She answers every question It’s all about Elizabeth and her life, her experiences. Does she not realize there are other people sitting there and the questions/discussions are not directed to only her. She needs her own shpw then we can forget about her like SJ.I barely watch any more. I used to love to make the time for this show. GAWD!

I missed today’s show, but I heard that Whoopie kind of told off Denise Richards. Someone, please, please tell me what happened? Thanks.

whoppi told denise that if she wanted to be private and noair thing why she put her kids on this show if she needed the money. densie said the kids are not on that much and stuff was aready aired but her kids were not on that much in the show. whoppi was still like she was putting them out there and not just her

i felt kind of bad for denise and her situation with charlie as she described it and so when whoopi told her it was wrong to expose her kid it was kind of tense but she said all reality shows hav ekids an sstuf and it all ended well enough she was a simpathic charater to me

I just found a video of the Whoopie/Denise exchange. Normally Whoopie kind of bugs me, but I really enjoyed her during this interview. I’m glad that someone asked the tought questions, and didn’t just suck up as they often do to celebrities on this show. And Denise’s answers were such b.s. I didn’t like her before this interview, and now I like her even less.

OMG!! Thank god for Whoops!! They were the tough questions no one wanted to ask but inquiring minds gotta know!! I dunno.. but if I am in a diffucult divorce and custody battle, the last I would want to do is put my kids out their for the world to know. Whoops question was viable .. “was it for the money?” its a good question, but in my mind, Denise thinks she is gonna win over her negative fans and get work eventually. Well when you take ur divorce public, you have to expect critisicm and expect a back lash wether you are wrong or right. These family issues should of remained private and she took them public even today. So you beget what you give. Again I am not saying she is wrong.. but she must have Donna Mills publicist.
I’m just saying…..

I don’t care if Heather and Ritchie were split up when she dated him. You NEVER date your friends ex.
She acted like it was fair game.
I did feel bad for her when Whoopie confronted her, but them remembered how she hurt Heather.

Here’s the link just in case some of you missed the segment with Denise. I thought it was uncomfortable to watch!!

Thanks for the link! You Go Whoopi! Now that’s what I’m talking about. She should know if she’s going to put herself out there like that, then she should be prepared to roll with the punches.

I didn’t see this as I no longer watch, but I remember reading that Heather went to Charlie’s lawyer when she filed for divorce from Richie. Supposedly Denise was upset as that was enemy territory and a supposed friend was joining the camp. Soon after Denise was dating Richie.
I thought it was stupid that she married him to begin with when he was a known wife abuser and sleazeball, but there are a whole lot of women who think they can change the spots on a leopard and then are shocked when they get gored.

I felt like I was going to gag during the part when Denise tried to justify what she was doing by blaming it on her dead mother. That was hitting a new low.

I love Charlie Sheen as an actor, but personnally his history is not something I would approve of, however, Denise Richards new about this stuff before she married him. She acts like he did all this stuff to HER, while he might not have been a good husband, she went back to him a second time and had a second baby with him. Now she wants to parade her life on TV and it is wrong to use the children in that way. If her career is over because she can’t find a celebrity husband to keep her in the news maybe it’s time for her to find a real job, like the rest of us.

I usually don’t care for Whoopis demeanor during interviews but this time I applaud her. Good for her for asking Denise the question we all want to know. Denise keeps stressing how her daughters are her top priority and yet she took Charlie to court because he didn’t feel putting his girls on reality TV was the best thing for them. I also thought that Denise saying how ‘watching her mom die’ was her biggest motivation to do the show because her mom wanted her to be able to set the record straight.
