Sometimes you wake up and read some movie news that really excites you, like when Lord of the Rings was announced or when they found a cool actor to play James Bond. Today I got another one: Denise Richards to play a stripper in an indie flick called A Beautiful Life. Oh please, don't even look at me like that. There's a reason Wild Things sold 4 trillion DVDs, and I'll tell you this: It isn't because of Neve Campbell's powerful acting skills.

Yep, Ms. Richards will bare her curves in the Alejandro Chomski drama, and she'll be joined by performers like Michael Madsen, Jesse Garcia and Debi Mazar. According to Variety the low-budget indie will begin shooting in Los Angeles later this year. Plot details are sketchy at this point, but who cares? They should just change the title to "Denise Richards as a Stripper" and watch the money roll in.

The still really sexy Denise Richards has had sort of an up 'n' down movie career. After hitting the bigtime in Starship Troopers and Wild Things, she went on to appear as a Bond girl and delivered some really funny moments in Undercover Brother. On the other hand: Valentine, Good Advice, The Third Wheel, You Stupid Man, Scary Movie 3, etc., Yikes. And when you're dancing between low-budget fart comedies and gimmicky bits of novelty casting, heck, it only makes sense to get naked and sign on for an artsy little indie. Good luck Denise. We're all pulling for you!

Lately things have become super-charged with the paparazzi. While there are always stories detailing celebs getting angry with the flashing lights of insistent cameras, the last few weeks have taken a new turn. Instead of a rouged cheek, Madonna is sporting a large bruise. Lindsay Lohan's friends fear she'll be the next Princess Diana. And now, Denise Richards is a talented laptop hurler.

Richards is currently in Vancouver filming Blonde and Blonder, what seems to be a dumb blonde version of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. The IMDB synopsis claims the duo (played by Denise Richards and Pamela Anderson) will have the "smarts" from Legally Blonde, but somehow, I doubt it! Anyway, the movie was filming at the River Rock Casino when Richards spotted two unauthorized photographers and approached them. The three argued, and their two laptops were thrown off the balcony they were standing on. Unfortunately, the flying computer projectiles struck two older women – at 89 and 91 years of age!

The women somehow escaped serious injury, and at this time, do not have plans to press charges. As for the altercating trio, that remains to be seen. As the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) investigate, the players in the debacle are providing the usual he said/she said. The photographers say the altercation was not provoked, and Richard's publicist says the opposite.

Many of us love a little gossip now and then. But where is the line? Just how much responsibility should celebrities assume for going into this line of work, and when does the responsibility transfer to the eager photographers?

Britney Spears is driving Mel Gibson crazy! According to media reports, the Lethal Weapon star is selling his Malibu mansion because the Spears-Federline clan is causing too much commotion around their gated community. The former Sexiest Man Alive is uprooting his family and moving closer to the Gibson-funded $3.7 million Catholic church. Hopefully now Mel can get some much needed peace and quiet -- I'll bet it wasn't easy channeling the Holy Spirit while PapaZao rapped around the clock. 

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Bozan, welcomed a baby girl on Sunday. Little Isabella Damon joins Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Violet Affleck and Suri Cruise as one of Hollywood's tiniest princesses. I'd really like to see these gals form a band together. They could call themselves The Newborn Supremacy and sing cheeky, infant-related songs like, Baby Love and Baby Got Back.

Angelina and Brad aren't the only people celebrating the birth of baby Shiloh. Denise Richards told Entertainment Tonight that she "was so thankful that Angelina had that baby" because Shiloh's arrival diverted some of the media attention away from her stormy relationship with Charlie Sheen. Phew!  I am so relieved.  At first I thought Denise's garish Pussycat Doll makeup was a desperate attempt to gain Sheen's attention (I heard he's a big fan of that particular look), but now I know it was just another part of her master plan to divert attention away from her messy divorce.   

 

Someone at Mandalay Entertainment must have really, really liked Wild Things. They've signed a deal with that film's director John McNaughton to helm Backstabbers, the screenplay for which was written by McNuaghton's old associate - and Wild Things writer - Stephen Peters. The screenplay, which used to be called Trophy Wife (when it had a different director and a different plot), is "a sexy caper about a rich New York man who masterminds his wife's kidnapping unaware that his mistress and bodyguard are going to double-cross him." Hmm. Who could we get to star in that? Oh, I know! How about those chicks from Wild Things? They're not too busy, are they? Though nothing is official yet, Mandalay is, in fact, in talks with Denise Richards and Neve Campbell to star in the film. But it's not a sequel. Really. Not that anyone who goes expecting one will really care, as long as the ladies kiss again.
