There was actually a time when Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards seemed like they could be “the” couple in Hollywood, even with the troubled history of Sheen with all the addiction to drugs and alcohol as well as all the sex, dealings with prostitutes and other bad things in the book. The two got married, had kids together, and then after four years, everything came crashing in a divorce which gained the attention of the entertainment world mainly for the bad blood between the two former lovers.

Considering how everything ended between them, there are some who will hardly ever believe that Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards would ever be in good terms. But many years later, have things changed?

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

The story of Sheen and Richards began in 2000 when they met on set for the 2001 comedy movie Good Advice. Nonetheless, it was until 2001 that they began dating. Only three months later, Sheen and Richards got engaged in December 2001 and by June 2002, they had already gotten married.

For Richards, that was the first time of tying the knot but for Sheen whose reputation as the bad boy of Hollywood was not in hiding, it was the second as he was already married and Divorced. His first marriage was in 1995 to Donna Peele, although it only lasted a year before it ended in 1996.

Denise Richards gave birth to their first child together, Sam Sheen, in 2004. In 2005 when she was six months pregnant with their second child, Lola, she filed for a divorce from her husband, but soon decided to push it aside and try to make things work again. They even went for marriage counseling but Richards later decided to continue with the divorce process that finally saw to the death of the marriage in 2006.

Denise accused her then-husband of violence, alleging death threats against her. As a result of this, she obtained a restraining order after the marriage ended to have Sheen 300 feet away from her and their two daughters whom they had joined custody of. The only time he was allowed anywhere near her or the kids was during supervised visits.

By 2008, the war between the former lovers was still raging no thanks to her show on E!, Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, which detailed her daily life and that of her family, including her daughters. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards slugged it out in yet another legal battle after he dragged her to court to have her stopped from having their daughters on the confessional reality program, but he lost.

In 2010, as a result of the many troubles of Sheen including the crisis rocking his marriage to Brooke Mueller, issues relating to sobriety, and other criminal issues, Denise sought to have sole custody of their children, something Sheen agreed to and signed without giving any fight.

Are They Currently in Good Terms Today?

After many years of fighting that saw them both dragging themselves before the law courts and the courts of public views, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are now in good terms.

According to Richards, she has never been bitter about the divorce, but the times were very negative. The actress stated that she is very supportive of her ex-husband and she tries to see that her daughters have a relationship with their father. Further back in 2011 when Sheen was diagnosed with HIV, Richards was by his side and when in 2013 Brooke Mueller was in rehab, Denise took care of the actor’s twin boys with Brooke, Bob, and Max.

Adding to the good vibes between them, the ex-lovers and their daughters have been spotted out together a number of times and in 2017, Denise shared a picture of them all having dinner. She stated there that at the end of the day, they still remain a family.

On his part, Sheen also reveals he does not have any ill feeling towards his ex-wife. In fact, they are friends. During the wedding of Dennis to Aaron Phypers in 2018, Sheen did not attend but he sent his best wishes to them.

When in 2009 the media was awash with the Britney Spears vs Sam Lutfi lawsuit, not too many people were surprised that it came up because when in the second part of the 2000s the singer was seen around with Lutfi, many guessed without even knowing who he was that he was trouble waiting to start for her.

The trouble finally came in 2009 when Lufti dragged the pop singer to court claiming that she owed him money following an oral contract they had in 2007. Also, he filed a suit against Spears and her family over allegations of defamation. According to Lutfi who was the former manager of the singer, her father battered him while her mother libeled against him in her 2008 book.

The legal battle between Sam Lutfi and the Spears camp lasted for a massive seven years before it was settled. Here is all you need to know about the entire case.

Britney Spears vs Sam Lutfi Lawsuit

1. How it began

After three years of dating, Justin Timberlake and Spears ended their relationship in 2002 in a rather shocking way. According to Sam, this was the beginning of the decline for Britney Spears. More so, there was also the claim that the breakup left Spears depressed and angry.

She continued to fall into self-destruction and then came a mysterious man whose name would later be given as Sam Lutfi. Always in a baseball cap, he later declared himself to be the singer’s friend and manager who accompanied her everywhere she went.

While many suspected the man, there were those who considered him as her savior. That was until a restraining order by the parents of Spears was gotten against him from the singer when his reputation of violence and dubious ways in the industry came to light in 2008.

2. The lawsuit that followed

In 2008 after the Spears got a restraining order to have Lutfi away from their daughter, Lynne Spears went on to publish Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, a memoir in which she described her daughter’s former manager as a predator who drugged and controlled her.

In response, Lutfi filed a lawsuit against Britney and her parents in 2009 claiming breach of contract on the side of the singer, battery against Jamie Parnell Spears whom he said punched him, while also slamming a libel case against Lynne Spears. He claimed that he had suicidal feelings after he received death threats following the publication of the book.

3. The accusations of drug use

The accusations from the camp of Britney Spears was that Lufti controlled and manipulated the singer using drugs, but the ex-manager claimed that Spears was addicted to drugs and he was the one who tried to get her out of it. He revealed that the singer’s infamous hair shaving in 2008 was because she was scared her hair could be used for a drug test and it would cost her the custody of her children.

According to him, he decided to work with her on conditions that she would leave drugs and allow him to come with drug-sniffing dogs to sniff her house among other conditions.

4. What Lutfi was requesting

According to Sam Lutfi, when he was hired by Spears, the deal was that the singer would pay him 15 percent of her earnings as her manager. It was revealed that between 2007 to 2008 which was in question, the singer made as much as $800,000 each month in the least even when she was not touring. This means that he was expecting to be paid $120,000 each of the month they worked together.

Adding it up, Lutfi was requesting to be paid into millions from the earnings of Spears for the period stated. However, Spear’s team argued that no deal like that was ever reached with Lutfi.

5. The Settlement

In 2012, the Britney Spears vs Sam Lutfi lawsuit was dismissed by a judge who claimed there was no evidence of any wrong against Lutfi by the Spears family. Though it was thrown out even before it went to a jury, the ex-manager who managed Courtney Love after he left Spears appealed the judgment.

In 2016, shortly before the trial began, reports emerged that the case between Spears and Lutfi was finally settled. The pop singer paid her ex-manager less than $500,000 in legal fees which was less than she would have spent in defending the suit if it had proceeded.

When the world first met Miley Cyrus, she was a girl of 11 breaking out from Disney thanks to Hannah Montana. As she kept moving up the entertainment ladder, it is not just her acting and music that would keep her in the eye of the public but also her many controversies that one might have believed came almost naturally for her.

From her leaked pictures when she was only 15 to her MTV VMAs performance with Robin Thicke in 2013, it was apparent to many who did not believe her when she said that she couldn’t be tamed in 2010, that she really couldn’t.

2. Vanity Fair Photoshoot (2008)

While the leaking of her intimate photos did not raise many eyebrows, her topless photoshoot for vanity fair with Annie Leibovitz sure did it for the 15-year-old Disney teen idol. Of course, appearing on the cover of the magazine was a feat for anyone her age, but the outrage was so loud that the teenager came out with an apology to her fans promising she wouldn’t do it again.

3. Mocked Asians in Group Photo (2009)

With other smaller controversies in the way since her Vanity Fair pictures, her next big scandal was when the then-16-year-old Miley was accused of racism. This was after she slanted her eyes in a group photo which was typical of people who mock Asians.

This time around, she refused to apologize even when groups like the Organization of Chinese Americans demanded an apology. She insisted she was only making goofy faces, but she later apologized saying she learned her lesson.

4. Teen Choice Awards Pole Dancing (2009)

Of Miley Cyrus’ Biggest Scandals, this will top for many. She came rather prepared to the 2013 MTV VMA with short hair that was dyed blonde.

From her twerking performance when she performed We Can’t Stop, she switched to a nude latex bra and panty set and was joined by Robin Thicke to perform Blurred Lines. Cyrus danced sexually with the older singer, something many saw as completely outrageous.

6. Wrecking Ball Video Controversy (2013)

By the time her Wrecking Ball video in which appeared nude and pleasuring a sledgehammer was released, she was already used to controversies.  In an article in The Guardian, Michael Hann argued at the heat of the controversy that it had nothing to do with a woman exploring her sexuality but everything to do with “exploring the iconography of porn.”

7. Cyberbullied and Dissed Selena Gomez (2008 and 2014)

They may both be Disney stars but Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus are not the best of friends this is even though they appeared on Hannah Montana together with Gomez later joining, and they performed at the Teen Choice Awards in 2008.

When Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato came newly to Disney, the two were cyberbullied by Cyrus and Mandy Jiroux when they mocked them on a YouTube video. Cyrus and Jiroux later apologized to the new girls on block and took down the video.

The bad blood Miley had against Selena stretched to 2014 when during her Bangerz World Tour in Milan, Italy, she came with a cardboard cutout of Gomez as she sang her “FU,” song. The twerking pop star threw the cutout to her fans as she continued with her song.

8. Her 2014 VMA Date- Jesse Helt

One of the highlights of the 2013 VMAs, Miley Cyrus came to the 2014 awards with a homeless man, Jesse Helt who received her award for Wrecking Ball video on her behalf.

The intention of the singer was to raise awareness on the issues of homelessness. However, that brewed another controversy when it was found out that Jesse Helt had a criminal past and had violated his probation by coming to California to pursue a career as an artist.

10. Nicki Minaj Vs Miley Cyrus (2015 VMA)

In both the 2013 and 2014 VMAs, Miley Cyrus did not get away without shining the light on herself. In 2015, the light came to her and that was not because of the costume her costumes as she hosted the awards. Instead, it was about a row she had with Nicki Minaj who before the show said white girls got more nominations than others. In an interview before the awards, Cyrus lent in her voice stating that it was not polite of Minaj to say that, bringing in the fight between Taylor Swift and Nicki.

When Nicki went up to receive her award for Best Music Video, she called on Miley for talking about her to the press.

Hollywood is that place where you do not get too close unless you are in a relationship. Or that is how the media sees it. That is pretty much what began the rumor about a gay relationship going on between actor Chace Crawford and his former NSYNC’ buddy JC Chasez after the two were spotted in 2008 partying together.

More than once,  the two friends have come out to deny that there is nothing sexual between them, but that did not douse the rumors, leaving some to wonder if there is anything really going on between the two.

Is Chace Crawford in Gay or in Relationship With JC Chasez?

In 2008, Chace Crawford And JC Chasez became the subject of grinding for the gay gossip mill. The two friends got into the situation after the media noticed that they were spending too much time together.

The Dance Crew judge and the Gossip Girl actor were spotted first in Las Vegas before they were seen again moving through the LAX airport security. They were also sighted by the searching eyes of the media sharing a poolside cabana with some of their friends at the Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel where they were seen in different bathing suits before they later changed into casual wears.

Soon, as anyone who is familiar with the entertainment world would expect, the rumors began flying that there was more to their friendship. Of course, there were those who argued that the men were only BFF, but the naysayers insisted that considering the fact that there is almost a 10-year age difference between the two men, the idea of being best of friends is almost unbelievable.

According to JC, he first found the idea laughable because he is straight, but it later became rather annoying as it was “outright stupid” for people to believe something like that. In the same manner, Crawford also denied the rumor.

Who is The Wife or Girlfriend?
