But rather than give her shameless TV show a plug,
Today
host Matt Lauer was more interested in an email Richards was alleged to have sent Sheen, or more accurately, his girlfriend, requesting his sperm.
Yes, you read that right.
Sheen claims Richards, 37, sent his fiancee Brooke Mueller an email after their divorce begging for his sperm so she could have another child.
Predictably, Richards has branded the email as bogus and claims it has been doctored.
"That e-mail is not legitimate. It's a doctored e-mail. I would never send an e-mail to his ... girlfriend, and, at the time of that e-mail, I was with Richie [Sambora]. If I wanted anybody's sperm, I'd have asked for Richie's," she said.
The hilarious email supposedly said:
"Charlie and I have very beautiful healthy children together. I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it's any of your business."
Sheen's camp maintains that Richards was not in a relationship with Sambora at the time, and has issued this statement:
"Claims that her e-mail has been fabricated or altered in any way to create this story are absurd. The mere fact the she continues to publicly discuss and harass both Brooke and me three years after our separation which, for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes."

Meanwhile, Richards has faced heavy criticism from Sheen regarding her decision to let their two daughters be filmed as part of her reality TV show.
Seriously, I've never heard such piffle in my life. Get over yourselves you two and start behaving like responsible adults.
Vegas for Brit Brit?
Brit Brit is rumoured to be heading straight for Las Vegas as part of her big comeback.
Her grand return plan is said to include a string of extravagant shows in Vegas, and an estimated US $10 million pay check as a thank you, according to news reports.
According to the
National Enquirer
, Spears is planning a "multi-million dollar stage production she hopes will jump-start her career".
A source says: "She wants to make a splashy comeback in Las Vegas. She wants the show to be full of high energy and flashy costume changes."
Next question!
My favourite wonky-eyed celebrity (yes, I have a few) Paris Hilton was recently asked about her moneybags grandfather leaving his millions to charity as opposed to re-investing it in the Hiltons.
Amazingly enough, it was a question that Hilton would rather swallow razor blades than answer. Funny that.
Odd couple
Rumour has it that Keanu Reeves and sticky-fingered Winona Ryder are getting their freak on.
Currently filming
The Privates Lives of Pippa Lee
together, a source on set says they've been spending an inordinate amount of time "popping in and out of each other's trailers".
Hmmm, is that an euphemism perhaps?
The source adds: "They are also always hugging on the set. The chemistry is really electric."
I scarcely believe that's possible. Remember their hideously wooden "chemistry" in Bram Stoker's Dracula?
I'm taking mahogany.
Mistaken identity
So Lindsay Lohan was happily munching away her lunch in some Los Angeles joint when some crazed fans started screaming, "Courtney! Courtney!"
Oh dear.
Li Lo was mistaken for walking cadaver Courtney Love.
A source tells
Star
magazine, "She was also looking extremely pale. You know things are going downhill when you get mistaken for an ex-druggie plastic surgery disaster who's twice your age!"
Ouch
A-hole
I'm beginning to really wonder what Jennifer Aniston sees in John Mayer.
Admittedly, he's not Brad Pitt, so he'll never win in my book, but there's something about him that smacks of "wrong". I just know their relationship will end in tears.
And if this tattle-tale is anything to go by, I'm vindicated.
Mayer was spotted shopping for a camera in LA this week and a fan asked him for a picture.
He agreed to pose...for $10. The twit of a fan agreed to cough up and paid him.
See the video
here
.
After receiving the dough, Mayer exclaims: "I know my value! I know what I'm worth!"
Loser.
Run Aniston, run!
Need to breed
For blog's sake, please don't let this be true.
Paris Hilton wants offspring.
She tells
Heat
magazine, "I do want a baby. Pretty soon. Not yet because I'm so busy, but next year."
Snip snip
Major news. Grey's Anatomy hunk Mc Steamy has cut his hair.
Eric Dane was snapped heading for his L.A. gym on Wednesday sporting
a new look
.
Verdict?
Cry me a river
Poor Nick Hogan is crying in the nick.
A transcript of a recent conversation between the incarcerated yob and his mother Linda has made its way online.
Nick Bollea: "Had I known this, I would have rather gone to trial or I would rather, you know, appeal the case or something. I can't deal with this for eight months. It's (Bollea's cell) like the size of my bathroom."
Linda Bollea: "Oh!"
Nick: "No windows or nothing. Just one little top bed thing."
Linda: "Oh my God!"
Cue bouts of tears from naughty Nick and words of comfort from his mummy.
Nick: "All you do is sit there and think, and there's nothing to think about."
Linda: "We'll get through it."
Nick: "Yeah."
Linda: "Prove to everyone you've learned your lesson and be more careful."
FFS, what did he think prison would be like? A Doris Day movie?
Take the shame, kiddo.
Freaky Fergie
Fergie is one scary specimen.
Here she is prancing around and hollering during a performance on
The Today Show
this week.
Her audience, primarily made up of elementary school children, was treated to a fabulous display of the crazy one leaping around in skin-tight pants, while thrusting her crotch and making moves on her guitar player.
Good work, Fergie. Get 'em while they're young. Talk about miseducation.
Get a room
Jude Law and Kimberly Stewart sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

I blame the parents.

Yes, I know you've all been deprived of a blog on Wednesday. I've been otherwise detained all week...I promise that normal services will be resumed next week.
Until then,
here's a little something
