DENISE RICHARDS - RICHARDS JOINS BON JOVI IN IRELAND

LATEST: Actress DENISE RICHARDS has ended rumours she has broken up with boyfriend RICHIE SAMBORA, by joining him on tour in Ireland. Media reports in the US last week (ENDS21MAY06) claimed the couple had ended their relationship. But Richards flew in to Dublin airport at 4pm on Friday (19MAY06) and immediately checked into the posh Four Seasons Hotel. That night she and Sambora headed out for a romantic dinner and then went straight back to their hotel. The couple emerged at 1 pm Saturday (20MAY06) afternoon to find a sizable media presence gathered outside their hotel and then left for a sound check in Croke Park. Bon Jovi performed for a 70,000-strong crowd later that night and Richards was seen watching the concert from a side stage. The couple was expected to join the band for a private party after the show, but instead left Dublin in a private jet around midnight Saturday (20MAY06). Richards recently reached an agreement with estranged husband CHARLIE SHEEN, extending her temporary restraining order against the actor. Sambora is embroiled in his own divorce battle with estranged wife HEATHER LOCKLEAR.
