Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards will not win any prizes for negotiating a civil divorce. It's been messy from the beginning, with Denise dumping Charlie while pregnant with their child. I don't know that it was ever determined just what brought about the end of the marriage, but I think it is safe to say that whatever it was, Denise is still mad about it.

Due to a court order, Sheen cannot see the ex-couple's two daughters, Sam and Lola, outside of the presence of two nannies, who must be approved by Richards. But when Richards substituted a real nanny for her assistant last week, Sheen balked. Out loud and in print. "Until I'm granted the ability to hire my own nanny, she is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her 'assistant' was a suitable replacement," the actor said in a statement.

Sheen, who is now engaged to Brooke Mueller, goes on to say, "If it's unfortunate that I'm speaking, it's 'unfortunate' that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancee are being subjected to these transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control."

I agree, it is unfortunate that he is speaking. His statement may sway public opinion, but what difference could that possibly make to their children? I think they both need to grow up.

Denise Richards sounds like a pretty cool ex. Not only is she not upset over Charlie Sheen's engagement to Brooke Mueller, but she even sent the couple a floral arrangement. Richards says she has met the upcoming Mrs. Sheen and really likes her.

This is a clever approach for Richards since Mueller will be the new step-mother to her young baby girls, Sam and Lola. If the Sheen and Richards camp has any hope of becoming a blended family, starting off on an honest foot of respect and friendship is a healthy outlook.
