I’m not exactly sure what Denise Richards is famous for, I thought she was a glamor model (as in, posed in Playboy a few times) but apparently she also had a film career. Then she got too old to swan about nude, which for most of us was around 4 but for her it was 30, so now she stars on a reality television show. Despite her nudity and topless paparazzi chasing (NSFW), the show isn’t drawing in viewers, so she’s decided to drag out her divorce/custody battle. Again. Denise has filed an emergency protective order for her children, citing ’serious issues’ at Charlie’s house.

According to (Charlie’s lawyer Martin) Singer, a judge was planning to deny the motion when Richards’ family lawyer, Neal Hersh, asked if he could withdraw the motion and refile it before another judge on Monday.

Hersh told E! News that he is planning to return to court next week to argue the motion.

Which, as far as Sheen’s camp is concerned, won’t have quite the same impact as taking a swipe at the Two and a Half Men star today.

“In my opinion [Hersh] did it today to tie into the Emmy nominations, and, in fact, Charlie got an Emmy nomination, so I think it was timed for that reason,” Singer told us. “I wonder if she had a producer from E! there helping her put on her show.“ (E! Online is a division of E! Entertainment.)

Sheen earned his third straight Emmy nod for his lead role as a womanizing jingle writer in Two and a Half Men, which is again up for Best Comedy.

To which Hersh responded, Huh?

“Mr. Singer focuses far too much on celebrity clientele,” Hersh told E! News this afternoon. “I focus on issues. I had no idea that today was the Emmy nominations whatsoever or do I care, one way or another. We went to court today because we felt it was necessary and appropriate.”

“Denise has made her position clear throughout these proceedings and her position is, all the judicial officers and the files have been sealed, but all the things have been clear,” Hersh added. “And she is not saying one thing in private and one thing in public.”

I know that Charlie Sheen has a history of less-than-sane behavior, including visiting Hollywood hookers, shooting his fiancé accidentally, dating adult film stars, doing drugs and gambling. Not to mention that he claims to have bedded over 5,000 women, which when you take into account that old safe sex saying about ‘remember, you’re sleeping with everyone he’s ever had sex with’ it kind of puts you off. Despite this less than stellar personal history Charlie Sheen actually seems like the sane one in this custody battle.

What is Denise claiming is unsafe in his home? What ‘serious issue’ stops the kids from visiting Charlie? Is the toilet backed up? I am starting to wonder if Denise Richards is trying to interfere with Charlie’s personal happiness, taking him to court the week of the Emmys, and giving interviews about what a creep he is the week of his new marriage. Next time you break up with someone and want some revenge, don’t drag your kids into it Denise. Just sew some shrimp into his curtains or order 30 pizzas to his house.

Note by Celeb*tchy: The emergency order was about to denied by the judge when Denise’s lawyer withdrew the papers and ask that they be sent to another judge. Richard’s lawyer denies he’s judge-shopping for someone who will be sympathetic to their case and claims that the judge just realized one of her colleagues, who is currently on vacation, is more familiar with the issues brought up in their case and would be better qualified to preside. Charlie’s lawyer says Denise is trying to get publicity for her reality show while working to deny Charlie visitation. [details from TMZ’s updates to the story]
