CHARLIE SHEEN - RICHARDS BATTLE OVER 'SPERM EMAIL'

RICHARDS BATTLE OVER 'SPERM EMAIL'

LATEST: CHARLIE SHEEN and DENISE RICHARDS took their bitter ex-marital battle to breakfast U.S. TV screens on Wednesday (21May08), when they clashed over an email the actress allegedly sent begging for a sperm donation from her ex-husband.
Richards laughed when The Today Show host Matt Lauer showed her an email Sheen claims she sent his fiancee Brooke Mueller after their divorce in 2006, asking for sperm so she could have a child on her own.
The former Bond girl insisted she never sent the email - and didn't need Sheen's sperm, because she was dating Richie Sambora at the time.
She told Lauer, "That is a doctored e-mail... I would never send an e-mail to his girlfriend.
"If I wanted anyone's sperm, I would have asked for Richie's.
"What Charlie doesn't know is that on the date of that e-mail, I found out through my mother's doctor that she had two to six months to live.
"I wasn't looking to get pregnant, especially with my ex-husband."
But Sheen - who has two young daughters with Richards - has hit back, with a statement released to the NBC show that reads: "Her claims that her e-mail has been fabricated or altered in any way to create this story are absurd. The mere fact that she continues to publicly discuss and harass both Brooke and me three years after our separation, which for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes."
