Denise Richards to Protect Kids

Denise Richards arrived in New York with ex-husband Charlie Sheen to treat their kids to their first trip to the Big Apple and promote her upcoming arc on Spike's Blue Mountain State — then, as you probably know, she got a little sidetracked.

In the wee hours of Tuesday, Sheen checked himself into a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, while the kids were none the wiser. "All they know is they had a great time in New York, they got to see their first play on Broadway, they went on a carriage ride, they had a wonderful time with Mom and Dad," Richards told us before adding, "Charlie was here with us doing those things."

Denise Richards, 39, says she wanted to fulfill her obligation to promote the show about the on- and off-field antics of a fictional college football powerhouse. "I have a job to do and it's important to me, the show's important to me, and I think it's important to keep moving forward," she says. The actress says there are some things in the latest series that are "slightly inappropriate and able to get away with a little bit more on this show." Richards's character, Debra, is the meddling ex-wife of head football coach Marty Daniels, played by former football player Ed Marinaro. Her character also has "a little fun flirtation with one of the hot football players."

Richards has a sense of humor about the kinds of roles she often plays. She recently filmed a Funny or Die video promoting her fun bags— gift bags she gives out at kids' birthday parties. "I always think it's good to poke fun at yourself once in awhile," she says about the mock promo. Besides Blue Mountain State and partnering with salon owner Cristophe on a hair care line, Richards is writing a memoir that she promises is not a tell-all.
