Sources close to Denise Richards say she’s desperate for a career boost. Denise fears her celebrity life will all but crash and burn when her sad excuse for a reality show, E!’s “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” ends. No worries, Denise. Continue to act the fool and tip off the paparazzi. We’ll gladly do our part and make fun of you. Hey, that’s something.

Some really crappy “longtime pal” told Chicago’s Sun-Times:

Supposedly, Richards is so concerned about her professional future, ‘’she’s willing to do just about anything and take any role that’s not pure porn,” says a longtime pal. Besides her dismal reality show, Richards’ recent film projects have been clearly forgettable little comedies yet to find distribution, and ”Blonde and Blonder” (that only made back a few thousand dollars on its modest $8 million budget), and the upcoming Bollywood flick ”Incredible Love,” notable for being shot in Hollywood and featuring cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and ‘‘Superman Returns” star Brandon Routh. [Ex-husband] Charlie Sheen is clearly loving all this,” said one of the sources, who quipped, ”I expect we’ll soon see Denise as a future victim in the umpteenth ‘Saw‘ sequel.”
