Denise Richards turns down $100,000 offer to appear on Two and a Half Men

Denise-Richards_pg267219(3).jpgIt would have been an easy payday, but Denise Richards just couldn't cash in. Life & Style has exclusively learned that Charlie Sheen's ex-wife was offered $100,000 to appear in an episode of Two and a Half Men, according to a set insider.

Producers had hoped the 40-year-old would play one of Charlie's former flames on his character's funeral. "They wanted to bring back a real ex," the source tells Life & Style. It was hard for Denise to say no because "she really wants to get back into TV," says a friend.

But ultimately, she turned down the offer. "Charlie would've gone crazy, and Denise knows where her bread is buttered," the source adds.
