Denise Richards has been trying to make the talk show rounds to promote her five-episode stint on Spike TV's 'Blue Mountain State,' but the media just won't let her escape the shadow of ex-husband Charlie Sheen. Last week on the 'Today' show and on Monday's 'The Wendy Williams Show' (weekdays, syndicated), she was grilled about Sheen's latest escapade that occurred on October 26 at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

Williams seemed intent on getting Richards to bad mouth Sheen's behavior, but Richards took the high road.
Denise Richards has revealed that she is protecting their daughters Sam, six, and five-year-old Lola from news of the incident.

Denise Richards is said to have accompanied her former husband to hospital after he was found naked and drunk in The Plaza Hotel with porn star Capri Anderson.

But despite the incident, Richards says her girls enjoyed their holiday.

Meanwhile Sheen is said to to be planning to file from divorce from his third wife Brooke Mueller on Monday, according to People.
