Dammit, we’re not soulless bastards. Last night’s Denise Richards: It’s Complicated clinched it. We would totally get into bed with Denise…
…and hug her cute little blonde munchkin children, while crying about their dearly departed Grandma. Dammit, E! We know the entire purpose of the show is to make Denise more likeable (yeah, yeah, to tell “her side of the story”). We resisted her cute potty-mouth. We tried not to cheer when she lost her cool and called a tabloid journalist a c*nt (and we don’t even like that word. Too, too much.).
But…dead grandmas? Angel-bears made out of dead grandma’s jeans? We can’t take it!
We kinda teared up last night. And we hate to say it: but last night’s heartfelt episode of Denise Richards: It’s Complicated actually felt like reality. Maybe one of the most “real” moments we’ve seen on television in a long time.
Yes, saying that about this show makes us puke in our mouths. A lot. And even this clip of angel-bears is a bit smarmy, on its own. But when Denise, her sister and her dad went to her parents’ home to clean out the belongings, it was one of the only moments of “reality” TV that was totally, sadly relatable. No one talks about death on E!
Please. We can’t take it. Just go back to spray-tanning Denise’s million dollar ass next week, and the universe will make sense again.
