Denise RichardsDenise Richards has been given the go-ahead to start production of a reality television show documenting her life as a celebrity mum.

Denise’s ex-husband Charlie Sheen had refused to give his authorisation for daughters Sam and Lola to appear in the television show but the court presiding over the couple’s ongoing bitter custody dispute has ruled that the children can be featured, but with certain restrictions.

During yesterday’s closed hearing, the project was given the green light and despite specific ground rules governing the three year old and two year old’s appearance on the show, Denise was said to be “very happy” with the court’s decision.
