I was watching an episode of Seinfeld last night when I thought I recognized the young actress playing the daughter of the NBC exec who was handling the sitcom George and Jerry were writing. I wasn't exactly sure, because I thought the actress I had in mind was older than this, but sure enough, when the credits were zipping by - and thanks to the DVR's magical ability to go back and pause on the credits - I saw "Denise Lee Richards" was credited as the exec's 15 year-old daughter, Molly Dalrymple.
QUOTE
JERRY: What were you doing?
GEORGE: Well, it's not my fault. You poked me!
JERRY: You're supposed to just take a peek after a poke. You were like you just put a quarter into one of those big metal things on top of the Empire State Building.
GEORGE: It's cleavage. I couldn't look away. What am I, waiting to win an Oscar here? This is all I have in my life.
JERRY: Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun, you don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away.
GEORGE: All right. So, he caught me in a cleavage peek, so big deal. Who wouldn't look at his daughter's cleavage? She's got nice cleavage.

According to IMDB, this episode aired in 1993, so Denise was 22 at the time (she was born in 1971). She's 37 this year and old enough to be an unquestioned Grumpy Auld Bastard...though as Meajen and Rachel know, we don't really care how old you are.
So anyway...as I was slaving away in my cubicle this morning, I thought back to the massive cleavage Denise had flashed in the episode, and began to wonder what she had been up to lately. First, I read some good news: she's considering posing for Playboy again. She may be a few years older than she was the last time she did it (2004), but she still looks amazing.

She tells AOL.com, "It's still a possibility. It's so iconic and fun." And Richards admits she quite liked the attention she got after posing naked for the publication four years ago. She adds, "I think that my niche is as a sex symbol. I'm never going to be the girl next door, so why not play up my niche?"

Unfortunately, all the recent news isn't good. I knew a little about the friction between Denise and Charlie Sheen, but I try to avoid details in celeb marital disputes (unless a sex tape of the wife is involved) whenever possible. So the following was news to me.
QUOTE
Richards told In Touch that Sam, four, and three-year-old Lola attended a therapy session on June 19 to help them come to terms with the split.
She said: "My kids are in therapy. It’s very sad that they need to be there, but they do for now.

Who the hell sens three and four year-old kids to a shrink? What a nutbag.
But man, is she hot or what?
(from the 2004 Playboy photoshoot)
Her daughters ("Sam" is a girl) might need therapy when they get older, but I doubt it will have much to do with Charlie Sheen. Oh, and I haven't seen even a second of her new "reality" TV show, but if it involves any teasing glimpses of skin, I'll be sure to catch them on youtube.
