DENISE RICHARDS: "ONE OF THOSE RARE SMILES WITH A QUALITY OF ETERNAL REASSURANCE" -THE GREAT GATSBY

I could write a blog on Denise Richards based on facts online and things we all read and think we know about her but I am going to write this beautiful blog entry on my own experience of communicating and understanding her world based on the truly amazing person I have found in her. She is a gem not just in the entertainment business but actually in life.

What means the most to me is she could truly care less about the industry world since she has had her two little angel daughters. She cooks homemade soups, she Martha Stewart-style does up her home for Halloween to excite them, she goes on work trips missing, thinking and talking about them one hour in, she protects them from the media swirl they know not that they live in, protecting their sweet childhood with M&M shakes and American Girl Place visits. She works hard to continue and maintain a blessed and beautiful childhood of gorgeous swimming pools with fun water slides for them. She is an inspiration first as a mother.

Secondly, she is involved heavily with something that makes me cry just to think about. She rescues, takes in, brings attention and spends a TON of her time getting up early to go save and transport animals at shelters in trouble. I can't even stomach that horribly sad Sarah MacLachlan commercial on the subject and yet Denise goes headfirst in to look at their faces, learn their stories and save lives. I am envious. She is so much stronger than I am. Animals are children to me and their feelings are human. Denise spends her time and money saving, rescuing and loving animals in need. This is godly to me.

Thirdly, I have to touch on how purely GOOD of a person she truly is. Denise totally would normally be a completely closed off personality (especially for all she has endured) but instead she is the MOST human, the most open and kindest woman you could know. She exudes positivity and just wants everyone happy and the world to be a happy place. Her daughters are so lucky.

It is a well-known fact she was blessed with stunning physical beauty but I think internal beauty is showing its strength in Denise as a person - if you are purely good, deeply loving and selfless, you ARE that beautiful and perfect. Denise turns something bad into something hopeful. She has surpassed that "just a beautiful woman" thing. I admire, strive to be as good and wish to give back so much to the world that was given to me, purely because of her.

Here, I share an EXCLUSIVE GS&E beauty interview with the amazing DENISE RICHARDS:

WHAT IS AN EVERYDAY BEAUTY RITUAL OF YOURS?

Everyday I use Dr. Lancer's facial products on my face and no matter what I don't leave the house without sunscreen! (NOTE: Denise has made a habit of not leaving the house without sunscreen since she was 15 years old!!).

WHAT IS THE BRAND OF LIPSTICK IN YOUR PURSE?

The brand of lipstick is Armani and lip gloss is Nars.

WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL THAT INSPIRES YOU?

I love looking at vintage pictures of Brigitte Bardot - she is the epitome of beauty. I've gotten a lot of inspiration from her photos.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTIFUL SIGHT?

I really love any place that is tropical ...Hawaii, Caribbean..I love the smell of the ocean mixed with the suntan oil and the flowers are intoxicating....

EVERYONE (INCLUDING ME) IS OBSESSED WITH YOUR GORGEOUS HAIR - WHAT CREATES THIS PERFECTION??

Thank you! Actually I am coming out with my own hair care line this coming spring!

All of my hair is mine, no extensions or pieces. I've learned what works and what doesn't in keeping your hair healthy and shiny!!

Denise is currently starring in SPIKE TV'S BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE - She is an amazing actress, especially in comedy. One of her greatest assets is that infectious laugh of hers!

She somehow balances it all. She makes the world a sunnier place.
(And speaking of sun, she is as happy as I am when it is 100+ degrees in LA.
