Denise Richards

There you can read the interview with Larry King, she appeared on his show on Monday night. But:

Talk about non-committal answers!

She bins Charlie Sheen, or he bins her - and she gets a new ‘reality show’ - nothing like advertising it for free on Larry’s show, eh?

No - I won’t be watching it!

King: You ever still have feelings of caring for him?

Richards: He’s a stranger to me. It’s the strangest thing. I can run in to any ex-boyfriend or anyone I’ve had a relationship and there’s that bond that’s there, and the familiarity, and the friendship and everything else. And with Charlie, he truly is — I do not know this person. And I have children with him.

King: Why did you include your young daughters in the show? Because there might be some people who say that’s exposing them.

Richards: Well, in making a decision to do a reality show, I needed to commit to that and I wanted it to be real. And the reality is I’m a single mom to two little girls. The show’s not about my children. They aren’t featured in the show. And they are definitely not being exploited. They’re in it very little.

King: They’re not?

Richards: No.

King: Do you worry about a possible negative effect on them?

Richards: It’s only the show. They are very unaware of the cameras. We’re just doing everyday life and it’s being filmed. I wish people could at least watch the first episode and then make a decision. A lot of people have said I’ve exploited my kids. And that goes into a broader area. Are child actors being exploited?

King: Some people think, yes.

Does Britney Spears come to mind?
