Attention whore Denise “Heather wasn’t my best friend” Richards is said to be engaged to Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. The two lshot to fame at the beginning of the year when Denise went through a nasty finger-pointing divorce with Charlie Sheen at the same time Sambora was divorcing his wife, Heather Locklear. Richards and Sambora were neighbors, and Locklear and Richards used to be friends, with sources claiming that Richards encouraged Locklear to file for divorce from Sambora.
Denise was spotted with a diamond on her left ring finger back in mid-June, sparking engagement rumors. Denise and Richie spent a romantic vacation together in Paris at the time, and news outlets said that it was no coincidence that the paparrazi knew exactly where to find them.
It was rumored as early as late May that they were planning a wedding to take place early next year when both of their divorces were final. Now that Denise has reached an amicable settlement with Charlie, it seems like things are moving along and they’re now said to be engaged:
It was music to actress Denise Richards’ ears when her rocker boyfriend, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, 47, recently asked the magic question: “Will you marry me?” Now Star can exclusively report that Denise, 35, has said “Yes!” The happy couple is hoping to tie the knot within weeks, says a source, of the finalization of their respective divorces with Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear  hopefully by the Christmas holidays.“Denise is head over heels in love with Richie,” says a friend of Richards. “She says he’s the perfect guy for her  and that she’s never so looked forward to the future.” (Richards’ rep, Nicole Perez, says Star’s story is “absolutely false.”)
A couple of weeks ago there was a story that Richie wanted to get back together with Heather and sent her a $500 worth of roses, but that may have been fabricated.
Here are Denise and Richie at the Fashion Rocks Concert yesterday. Denise is also shown out in West Hollywood on August 24th. [
