Family time: Denise Richards visits a market in Calabasas, California, yesterday with her daughters as they try to escape the Charlie Sheen feeding frenzy


With his escapades dominating newspaper, TV and radio headlines, it's almost impossible to escape the Charlie Sheen media circus.

But his ex-wife Denise Richards made an effort today to shield her daughters from the feeding frenzy surrounding their father by taking them on a shopping trip.

Denise was casually dressed in torn jeans, flip flops and a grey T-shirt.

She smiled and looked happy as she was snapped with six-year-old Sam and five-year-old Lola outside Maddy's Market in Calabasas, California.

The little girls wore leggings and matching pink shirts as they walked with their mother through the store's parking lot.

Last week, reports emerged that Denise was so 'disgusted' by Sheen's behaviour that she decided her two children shouldn't go anywhere near the actor.

Richards, who was married to the Two and a Half Men star between 2002 and 2006, is said to believe the way he is currently living, with his two 'goddesses' Bree Olsen and Natalie Kenly, is too much of a 'risk' to their daughters.

According to gossip website TMZ.com, Richards claims that at least one of the 'goddesses' is using drugs, a claim vehemently denied by Sheen.

Richards is no stranger to Sheen's controversial lifestyle, and was on holiday with the actor in New York last October when he was found naked and drunk in The Plaza Hotel with porn star Capri Anderson.

Sheen is alleged to have wrecked the hotel suite during a drug and alcohol fueled run-in with Anderson.

Denise was apparently in a hotel room across the corridor with their daughters when the incident happened.

For years, Sheen has had a penchant for prostitutes and porn stars.

In January, he was said to be partying with three XXX actresses for 36 hours straight, when he fell ill and was rushed to the hospital.

22-year-old Kacey Jordan, one of the young women at the wild bash said in a series of interviews that Sheen appeared to be on 'a mission to kill himself.'

Jordan, Melanie Rios, who was also at Sheen's house the night he was hospitalized , and Capri Anderson all met up at a porn star convention last week in New York City.
As the young ladies savoured their five minutes of fame, Sheen was back in Los Angeles with his new crop of 'godesses.'

The 45-year-old actor is currently involved in a custody battle with his estranged wife Brooke Mueller over their two sons, 23-month-old twins Bob and Max.

The children were taken away from the 45-year-old actor by police on Tuesday night after Mueller was granted a restraining order claiming the star had been both verbally

and physically abusive towards her.
Mueller took her two children on a shopping trip this weekend to The Grove shopping centre in Los Angeles when is a paparazzi magnet.
