Denise Richards: “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” Performance Was “Horrifying
Denise Richards admits her performance of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” over the weekend was hardly a homerun.
The actress screeched her way through the classic tune during the 7th inning stretch of the Chicago Cubs game on Friday.
“Horrifying,” she told the Palm Beach Post when asked about her performance. “I’m not a singer and then to be in front of all those people is a little terrifying.”
Still, Richards (a native of Downers Grove, Ill.) said she loved being at the famed Wrigley Field.
“You feel like it’s old-school baseball,” she said. “I love how the scoreboard isn’t all digital. It’s very authentic and traditional.”
She said she always loved baseball.
“I got into baseball with Charlie (Sheen, her ex-husband) because he’s such a fan,” she said. “And I played T-ball. I was the only girl on the boys team and I loved it. When I was a kid, I was such a tomboy and as I got a little older, that changed.”
Which celeb slugger would make a great reality show star?
“Alex Rodriguez,” said Richards, who has her own E! show. “Whenever you’re going through things in your personal life, you’re approached. I’m sure that’s why I was approached. And with the Internet and the tabloid magazines, your whole personal life is out there for everybody to see.”
