Sheen fights for child sleepovers

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen were married for three years

US actress Denise Richards has asked a court to stop her ex-husband Charlie Sheen having their two young daughters to stay with him overnight.

In papers filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Richards said the girls resisted sleeping at his home and "often returned sad and upset".

Richards said she was concerned that the actor engaged in "inappropriate behaviour" on the internet.

Sheen's lawyer said the Platoon star denied all the allegations.

In a statement, Lance Spiegel said: "Virtually all of these allegations were previously raised and were denied by Mr Sheen."

Since the couple divorced last year, Sheen has accused of Richards of interfering with his relationship with their children, Sam, aged three, and Lola, two.

In July, Sheen announced he would marry Brooke Mueller

The court has previously granted Richards permission to choose the nannies who accompany the children while they visit him at his home.

But Sheen filed a court request last month asking to pick the nanny.

"Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls," Sheen said in a statement.

"She behaves as though she owns our children. She does not."

After three years of marriage, the couple divorced and Richards took out a restraining order against him.

She made claims of physical, verbal and drug abuse and compulsive gambling, allegations he insisted were false.

Sheen, who recently announced his engagement to an estate agent, currently stars in the TV sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Richards, who played Christmas Jones in James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, recently starred in Blond and Blonder with Pamela Anderson.
