CHARLIE Sheen is being a gentleman by refusing to discuss his ugly divorce from Denise Richards - but it isn't stopping his friends from talking.
His manager, Mark Burg, is particularly angry about Richards' claims that Sheen likes gay porno and gambling and makes death threats. He told Page Six, "All of this is nothing more than child-custody issues.
"This all started because Charlie wanted 50-50 custody . . . When Denise said no. Charlie said, 'Then let a judge decide.' The next day, she comes out with a bunch of bull[bleep] claims.
"Did he gamble on sports? Big deal. Every guy I know does. Show me a guy who hasn't seen porn on the Internet. Does that mean he's not a good father? No. This guy lives for his kids. And she drummed all this up so he can't see his kids. It is the single worst behavior of a parent I have ever seen."
As for Richards' friendly relationship with the paparazzi and her sympathetic portrayal in the tabloids, Burg adds, "There are groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. Denise needs to go to National Enquirer Anonymous. This shouldn't be fought in the press.
"Is Charlie upset? Yes. Did he threaten to kill her? No. Would he kill her? No way. When someone tells her something she doesn't want to hear, they're out the door."
Others who have disagreed with Richards have been dropped from her inner circle. Two weeks ago, she fired her divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser - who likes to keep her cases out of the press - in favor of Neil Hersch.
Richards also dropped her longtime public-relations gurus at PMK-HBH this week because, as a source delicately put it, PMK-HBH had "different strategies in mind" than she did.
Meanwhile, sources say Richards told Sheen that she and Richie Sambora have been seeing each other romantically since early November - not March, as Richards has told others. Sambora's soon to be ex, Heather Locklear - Richards' former best friend - is said to be "utterly devastated."
David Spade, who has been seeing Locklear recently, told Us Weekly reporter Matthew Cole Weiss at Republic restaurant in L.A. the other night, "All I know is [Heather] is home nursing her knife wounds in the back tonight."
Spade's view is echoed by many. Locklear and Richards had many of the same friends in the Westlake area. "No one is talking to Denise right now," a source said. "They are all just appalled."
