<p>American actress and television personality Denise Richards took some time to consider her divorce from ex-husband Charlie Sheen on this week’s Dear Media&nbsp;podcast ‘Divorced Not Dead’. Sheen and Richards divorced in 2006 when she was six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola. She told interviewer Caroline Stanbury, "I said to myself: ‘Would I want my daughters to be married to this man?'"&nbsp;</p>

<p>"No offense to him but I think he would take that and understand what I’m saying, and that’s when I was like, ‘Well, why am I accepting this?'", she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sheen has a history of substance abuse and has also been accused of numerous sexual abuse and assault allegations, Entertainment Tonight reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Richards, 51, revealed having a tough time accepting her separation from Charlie and said that she "felt guilty for splitting up the family unit." "I struggled with that for years."</p>

<p>The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ alum further added, "It was not a good situation."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Richards revealed that she and Sheen reconciled after the birth of Lola but split soon after, terming&nbsp;their marriage "very toxic." She then requested full custody of their two girls and a restraining order against Sheen shortly after they got divorced. But Richards said&nbsp;that she always made an effort to allow the girls to see their father, even though she has maintained legal custody of them ever since.</p>

<p>"There is a lot that the public doesn't know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors," said the ‘Wild Things’ star.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The times where he was in a good space and able to, I wanted the girls to get to know their dad for him and not what he struggles with. I wanted them to know their dad for them and not what they may or may not read about him," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Richards said she sometimes questions whether enabling her daughters to see her and her ex-husband as one unit when they were together has done any good to them.

"There’s really no handbook for this, especially when you’re in public."</p>

<p>Despite having rocky&nbsp;moments and disagreements, Richards says she has no regrets about marrying Charlie, adding that she "really do believe that he and I were brought together to have our daughters."</p>

<p>Richards wed Sheen in 2002, and the two parted ways after four years. Their eldest daughter, Sami, turned 18 in March, while&nbsp;Lola, their younger kid, is now 17 years old. Richards later adopted a girl, Eloise, as a single parent and got married to Aaron Phypers in 2018. Meanwhile, Richards recently made her own OnlyFans account.</p>

Denise Richards reveals her marriage to Charlie Sheen was 'very toxic'

<p>Mindy Kaling recently, in a conversation with Marie Claire for its wellness-themed issue, said she is thankful that she had the choice to embrace motherhood when she wanted. The actress-writer, who is also a mother of two, addressed her relationship with therapy and how she coped with the loss of her mother.</p>

<p>The Hollywood Reporter stated that the actor further discussed her own motherhood experience and spoke about being a working mom who is in her&nbsp;40s.</p>

<p>Later, at a point during the chat, the subject of her experience with egg freezing and the benefits of beginning her parental journey later in life was brought up, particularly in light of the recent Roe v. Wade ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, the outlet said.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I waited until I had the means, and that made all the difference. The choice to have a child—by yourself, on your own terms — it was the best part of my life," the actor told the magazine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, Kaling also shared that she hopes more women can raise their children on their own terms, just like she was able to.</p>

<p>Though Kaling offered her personal opinion on the advantages of normalising young women freezing their eggs, she also acknowledges what societal, financial, and other support a woman would need in order to have that ability. She claimed that doing so might provide young women more freedom to choose their careers as well as how and when to start families.</p>

<p>The ‘Never Have I Ever’ creator said, "I wish every 19-year-old girl would come home from college and that the gift instead of buying them jewellery or a vacation or whatever — is that their parents would take them to freeze their eggs."</p>

<p>"They could do that once and have all these eggs for them, for their futures… to focus in your 20s and 30s on your career, and yes, love, but to know that when you’re emotionally ready, and, if you don’t have a partner, you can still have children," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hollywood star Chris Pine made a surprise appearance on the red carpet at the 'Five Days at Memorial' premiere to support his dad, Robert Pine, in his newest acting endeavour.</p>

<p>According to Variety, the father-son duo posed together before Chris entered the theatre, allowing his father to walk the press line.</p>

<p>For Robert, his decision to get involved with this project came down to the script. "John Ridley and Carlton Cuse wrote [the script], and you just don`t get good writing like that all the time," Pine told Variety. "I mean, any actor here can tell you that. So when something like that comes up -- whether it`s even a small role or whatever -- you leap on it because you want to be part of something like that."</p>

<p>'Five Days at Memorial'&nbsp;covers the true account of Memorial Hospital during and after Hurricane Katrina brutally destroyed the city of New Orleans in 2005. The series, which is based on Sheri Fink`s book, follows the medical personnel as floodwaters rise, power goes out, and the temperature increases. Vera Farmiga, Cornelius Smith Jr., Cherry Jones, Julie Ann Emery, Adepero Oduye, Molly Hager, and Michael Gaston are among the cast members of the limited series, which was created by Emmy Award winner Carlton Cuse and Academy Award winner John Ridley.</p>

<p>Pine plays Horace Baltz, a Memorial Hospital doctor who wears a bow tie and tries to maintain order amidst the pandemonium. The bowtie, according to Pine, was a decision he made on his own to honour a friend.</p>

<p>"A friend of mine is an orthopedic surgeon," Pine explained. "And anytime I play a doctor, I like to wear a bowtie for him. Yeah, he`s been my best friend since the fourth grade."<br />

<p>The first look of actor Johnny Depp in his upcoming film 'Jeanne Du Barry' is out. The French film will be actor's first acting project after his much-publicised defamation trial involving his ex-wife Amber Heard. He will play the role of 18th century King of France called King Louis XV. The film is being directed by 'Polisse' writer and director Maïwenn Le Besco, who is often known as just Maïwenn. In the first look image, Depp can be seen in the garb of a French ruler with his eyes blindfolded. He is standing while facing sideways. You can see the image for yourself below.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Louis XV, also known as his beloved Louis, reigned as King of France for 59 years until his death in 1774. He was beheaded after the French Revolution.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film follows Madame du Barry, a courtesan and the final mistress of Louis who fell in love with the monarch. She then moved to the Palace of Versailles, the former royal residence of French kings, and irked many a courtier due to her presence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Maïwenn has also co-written the film with Teddy Lussi-Modeste. The film was reportedly shot at Versailles and around Paris in this year's summer.</p>

<p>Aamir Khan's much-awaited film 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is finally out in the wild and the first reviews have begun to trickle in. At the time of writing, the film has a strong score of 80 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Most&nbsp;international publications have given favourable reviews to this Advait Chandan directorial.</p>

<p>Also starring Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh, 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is an official Hindi remake of the 1994 Hollywood classic 'Forrest Gump', which starred Tom Hanks in the titular lead role. Atul Kulkarni has penned the script. The story follows Aamir's character whose mind did not grow since his childhood, but he is a kind-hearted, innocent man. The story recounts his life and his relationships as he inadvertently affects some of the major events and personalities in 20th-century India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The original film starred Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field.</p>

<p>The Guardian's Mike McCahill said about the film, "Assiduously replicating its predecessor’s strengths and weaknesses, the one thing it risks is that a three-word summary – Hindi Forrest Gump – would tell you all you ever needed to know about it."</p>

<p>JoySauce.com's Siddhant Adlakha wrote, "An effective (if messy) adaptation that not only localizes the specifics of Forrest Gump, but translates its relationship with its setting, swapping the self-professed peace and prosperity of ’90s America for a more volatile and nationalistic climate."</p>

<p>Austin Chronicle's J Hurtado was less impressed. "Laal Singh Chaddha is Forrest Gump for people who thought the original film was too edgy, and that’s not a good place to be," he wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Slash Film's Witney Seibold even called the film better than original. ""Laal Singh Chaddha" is hardly a Terrence Malick-like contemplation of pacifist philosophy — it's ultimately a broad, sentimentalist opera designed to have audiences reaching for their handkerchiefs — but it does have a more complex and gentle point of view than the film it's remaking.

'Laal Singh Chaddha' review roundup: Aamir Khan's 'Forrest Gump' remake gets love from international critics

<p>Aamir Khan's much-awaited Hindi remake of 1994's Hollywood film 'Forrest Gump', titled 'Laal Singh Chaddha', is finally here. The Advait Chandan directorial, which is written by Atul Kulkarni, stars Aamir in the titular role. Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh play supporting roles. While there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the film, both positive and negative, the film reportedly has failed to lure a lot of moviegoers to the cinemas, at least on the first day. Even the film's holiday release (today is the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan) does not seem to have helped its chances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per Box Office India, the film has only 15-20 per cent occupancy in theatres, which is shocking and unprecedented for an Aamir film. Ever a great marketer, this time Aamir has clearly failed to recreate his magic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<strong>'Laal Singh Chaddha' movie review: Kareena Kapoor and the story outshine Aamir Khan</strong></p>

<p>Wion's film critic Shomini Sen gave a mixed review of the film. She wrote, "'Laal Singh Chaddha' may have been promoted as Aamir Khan's big film, but the film is worth a watch for actors other than Aamir and for its heartwarming story. This is not Aamir's best performance and don't expect it to impact you the way some of his previous films have."</p>

Aamir Khan's much-awaited Hindi remake of 1994's Hollywood film 'Forrest Gump', titled 'Laal Singh Chaddha', is finally here. The Advait Chandan directorial, which is written by Atul Kulkarni, stars Aamir in the titular role.

Aamir Khan's much-awaited Hindi remake of 1994's Hollywood film 'Forrest Gump', titled 'Laal Singh Chaddha', is finally here. The Advait Chandan directorial, which is written by Atul Kulkarni, stars Aamir in the titular role. Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh play supporting roles. While there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the film, both positive and negative, the film reportedly has failed to lure a lot of moviegoers to the cinemas, at least on the first day. Even the film's holiday release (today is the Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan) does not seem to have helped its chances. As per Box Office India, the film has only 15-20 per cent occupancy in theatres, which is shocking and unprecedented for an Aamir film. Ever a great marketer, this time Aamir has clearly failed to recreate his magic.

She wrote, "'Laal Singh Chaddha' may have been promoted as Aamir Khan's big film, but the film is worth a watch for actors other than Aamir and for its heartwarming story. This is not Aamir's best performance and don't expect it to impact you the way some of his previous films have." The film, meanwhile, has fared better with the international critics, most of whom have given favourable reception to the film. At the time of writing, the film has a strong score of 80 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.
