Even celebs want to work at home.

While I’m on the treadmill at the gym I like to channel surf. The other day I came across an interview with Denise Richards and something she said piqued my interest. Normally I would have no interest whatsoever in hearing what Denise Richards (or ex Charlie Sheen for that matter) had to say but she was talking about working at home.

Evidently the actress, who has had more than her share of bad press, is producing and starring in a new reality show about her life with her children, Sam and Lola as well as other family members.

The clip showed Richards and her kids at their home, which is also home to lots of dogs and even a pig.

According to Denise, “…being a single working mom, to be able to work at home was fantastic and a blessing.”

It seems to me that under all the gossip and mud-slinging, she is just a person who wants many of the same things we do. It’s refreshing to see a down-to-earth side of someone who has been a constant source of tabloid fodder. Good for you Denise!

Not everyone agrees with me though….Hal Boedeker, The TV Guy, has a different view of what she’s doing.

She may very well be desperately trying to give her career a much needed boost, but I still think that the fact that she will in fact be working from home and spending time with her kids is admirable.
