Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards
In 2007, Charlie Sheen was among the highest-paid actors on American television. What got him more publicity, however, was his very public battle with now ex-wife Denise Richards.
The press had a field day when news leaked that Richards, mother of his two daughters, had asked a judge to prevent the children from staying at his house anymore. He promptly hit back with a report saying she had begged him for a semen sample, so she could have a third child with him out of wedlock. When the case went to court, Richards told everyone who would listen that her former husband liked to check out pornography on the Internet.
Both partners have moved on since, of course. The bad blood may take some time to go away though.
