Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards have topped a new magazine poll listing Hollywood’s Nastiest Splits.

The bitter exes, who have been battling over custody of their two daughters and embarked on a vicious war of words since splitting in 2005, beat out Paul McCartney and Heather Mills in the In Touch countdown.

McCartney and Mills make the list even though they’re not exactly part of Hollywood.

They join Anne Heche and Coley Laffoon, Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin and Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook among the divorced couples on the new nasty list.

“It’s Complicated” – but worse, it’s tanking!

Denise Richards’ highly touted E! reality TV show is (1) biting it ratings-wise; (2) ex-hubby Charlie Sheen’s kicking her butt divorce court-wise; and (3) romance-wise, she’s gone crawling on her belly like a snake – desperately trying to worm her way back into ex-flame Richie Sambora’s life!

Now don’t drop dead from surprise, but the booze-challenged rocker won’t even take her calls.

Insiders say Denise started phoning and texting Richie nonstop, begging him to rekindle their romance, and he talked to her patiently at first – telling her he’s just not interested, and has a new relationship cooking.

Denise, refusing to take “NO!” for an answer, told pals she’s furious at Richie – yet won’t stop phone/text-stalking!

Denise Richards’ reality show is facing the axe because of falling viewer figures, according to reports.

Denise Richards: It’s Complicated launched on E! earlier this year and was an instant hit, allowing viewers a sneak peak into the actress’ life with her two daughters with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

But sources claim the way she handled her public battle with Sheen over custody of three year old Lola and Sam, two, has turned viewers off.

An insider tells Star magazine, “The numbers started out pretty good - just over 1.5 million tuned into the premiere episode. But the audience has dropped off. Denise has turned into an unappealing reality star.”

Richards’ bad language on the show has also angered the public.

The source adds, “Viewers were disgusted that a mother of two young girls would use such foul language.”

Denise Richards went too far when she falsely accused her ex, Charlie Sheen, of molesting their daughters - and now Sheen will move for full custody of the kids by charging that their mother is a liar.

Richards dragged Sheen into a Los Angeles courtroom early last week for a mysterious “emergency” child-custody hearing to screen videos of their girls, Sam and Lola, supposedly acting in strange and disturbing ways. Sheen’s lawyers - who got the “evidence” dismissed - presented their own videos of the girls acting normally at his house.

A source said, “Denise’s accusations were vile. She was basically trying to say Charlie [manipulated] the kids and acted inappropriately with them. It’s disgusting and totally untrue. Charlie is furious . . . Denise has really pushed it too far this time.

“She came after Charlie because the ratings on her E! reality show [’It’s Complicated’] have tanked and they were threatening not to renew,” the source said.

“She thinks a court battle would be good for ratings so she wants all overnight visits with the girls ceased, and monitored visits with her nanny. She invited the media circus to the hearing and even wanted reporters in the judge’s chambers - which wasn’t allowed. It’s ridiculous.”

Sheen is said to be so furious, he’s “out to prove Denise’s lack of veracity and sue her in civil court for defamation. Then he’ll sue for child custody.

“Sheen feels Richards has defamed him, especially after she denied sending [current wife] Brooke an e-mail in which she claims to want his sperm for another child. Richards says the e-mail is a fake. Sheen claims he has the e-mail and is getting forensic computer geeks to verify its authenticity.

“Charlie has now been forced to take a stand and do what’s best for the girls,” our insider said. Reps for Richards and Sheen declined comment.

Warring exes Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s bitter custody battle returned to the courthouse on Monday as the former couple disputed home video footage the actress claims proves the actor is a bad dad.

Richards’ lawyer Neal Hersh called the emergency hearing in Los Angeles to review “serious issues” in the actor’s home that could be damaging to the couple’s kids.

Hersh handed over a videotape of their two daughters, which shows them behaving in an alarming way - according to Richards.
Neither party has divulged exactly what the video footage shows.

After consulting two expert witnesses, the judge dismissed Richards’ request to alter her current custody arrangement with her ex.
Sheen is now claiming victory.

Outside court Sheen’s attorney said, “Charlie is thrilled with the results.”

In a later statement, Wender added, “She (Richards) lost for the second time in seeking to change any of the custodial arrangements that currently exist for Charlie Sheen and the children.”

But former Bond girl Richards, who attended the hearing, believes she came out on top in the latest of a long line of court battles between the bitter pair, who split in 2006.

Her lawyer, Hersh, says, “Denise could not be happier with the order. She fully intends to support these orders and only hopes that Charlie will support those orders and follow them.”

Sheen was not in court for Monday’s hearing.

Charlie Sheen’s attorney has hit back at new claims the actor’s home is unsafe for his kids, claiming ex-wife Denise Richards is piling on the drama to boost her reality TV show.

Richards and her lawyer Neal Hersh called an emergency hearing in a Los Angeles court on Thursday, attempting to block her two daughters from visiting their father because there are “serious issues” in the actor’s home that could be damaging to them.
The former couple will resolve the issue in court next week.

Speaking outside the court Hersh said, “These are serious issues regarding the children.”

But Sheen’s lawyer, Marty Singer, insists there’s nothing to Richards’ mysterious claims: “It is very unfortunate that Denise Richards and her attorney are desperately trying to deprive Charlie his visitation of his children, obviously at the same time trying to create a media circus to help her reality show.”

Richards’ reality show, It’s Complicated, has become a hit on America’s E! cable network.

Denise Richards has hit back at reports she is selling her California home after falling out with angry neighbors.

Recent reports suggested the actress had put her Hidden Hills home up for sale after neighbors complained to local officials about the actress’ reality show, which is filmed on the estate.

But the star of Denise Richards: It’s Complicated insists the story is bogus.

The former Bond girl says, “Not one neighbor has complained to me. If there have been any complaints to the production company, I don’t know about them.”

But Richards admits she is hunting for a new home for herself, her two daughters and her father: “We’re looking for something more comfortable.”
