Denise RichardsDenise Richards is reportedly set to star in a reality television show about her life as a celebrity mum - but not if ex-husband Charlie Sheen has his way.

According to Extra, both parents need to give their approval for their daughters Sam and Lola to appear on the show but Charlie is refusing.

A source close to the Two and a Half Men star told the television news show: “This goes against everything Sheen believes in… and he feels it’s exploitative of the children for the mother’s own vanity and greed.”

Denise is now said to be planning to approach the court overseeing the couple’s ongoing custody dispute to request that Charlie’s power as a father is revoked in this matter to let her proceed with the show without his consent.
