Denise Richards Tells Howard Stern: Everything's 'Hunky Dory' With Charlie Sheen
Oct. 26 2010, Published 2:20 p.m. ET
Just hours after her ex Charlie Sheen was hospitalized after trashing a New York hotel room in a drug-fueled frenzy after meeting up with a hooker, Denise Richards appeared on The Howard Stern Show Tuesday and talked to the iconic radio host about her past with the troubled actor, though the incident at the Plaza Hotel was not mentioned.
In fairness to Stern and Richards, the news of Sheen's incident broke via the NY Post two minutes after Stern’s show went on the air at 6 am ET, leaving little time for the news to circulate prior to Richards' on-air appearance. Stern asked the Wild Things star if everything was alright with Sheen, to which she said, "Yeah, everything is hunky dory."
