Former Bond girl Denise Richards has been dealt another blow just two days after losing another custody battle with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen - she's having to sell her home at a loss.

The actress has placed her Hidden Hills, California estate on the market for $140,000 (GBP70,000) less than she paid for it a year ago.

The home is offered at $4.25 million (GBP2.1 million).

Richards insists she's selling up because she wants to live closer to her young daughters' schools, and that reports she has been forced out by neighbours are untrue.

Those reports suggested people living close to Richards hated the fact that the actress had turned her home into a reality TV location for her series Denise Richards: It's Complicated.

Other locals complained about the fact Richards owns a vast menagerie of pets and did not have the proper paperwork allowing her to keep so many dogs, cats and pigs.

It's been a very good year for Will Smith. Not only is his Hancock a runaway box-office hit, but he also banked an impressive $80 million – making him Hollywood's top money earner last year, according to a new ranking from Forbes. Cameron Diaz is no victim of the current economic pinch, either. Making $50 million last year, the Shrek and What Happens in Vegas star was Tinsel Town's top-earning female, reports the business publication. Among others in the financial stratosphere: No. 2-ranked Johnny Depp, with a $72 million paycheck, and, tied for third place, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers, with $55 million each

Latest: Warring exes Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen's bitter custody battle returned to the courthouse on Monday as the former couple disputed home video footage the actress claims proves the actor is a bad dad.

Richards' lawyer Neal Hersh called the emergency hearing in Los Angeles to review "serious issues" in the actor's home that could be damaging to the couple's kids.

Hersh handed over a videotape of their two daughters, which shows them behaving in an alarming way - according to Richards.

Neither party has divulged exactly what the video footage shows.

After consulting two expert witnesses, the judge dismissed Richards' request to alter her current custody arrangement with her ex.

Sheen is now claiming victory.

Outside court Sheen's attorney said, "Charlie is thrilled with the results."

In a later statement, Wender added, "She (Richards) lost for the second time in seeking to change any of the custodial arrangements that currently exist for Charlie Sheen and the children."

But former Bond girl Richards, who attended the hearing, believes she came out on top in the latest of a long line of court battles between the bitter pair, who split in 2006.

Her lawyer, Hersh, says, "Denise could not be happier with the order. She fully intends to support these orders and only hopes that Charlie will support those orders and follow them."

Sheen was not in court for Monday's hearing.

Britney Spears proved she has put her recent court battles behind her by stepping out for a charity event hosted by comedian Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy.

The Toxic hitmaker saw permanent custody of her two children handed over to ex-husband Kevin Federline on Thursday, following 18-months of court hearings, mental trauma, and a breakdown.

But she stunned onlookers on Saturday by arriving at the Los Angeles party in an elegant black evening dress, with perfect hair and make-up for her glamorous night out.

And the singer appeared to be in good spirits.

A source tells People.com, "She looked great and seemed really happy. She smiled and clapped during the video about autism."

Other stars to attend the charity fundraiser, in aid of Carrey and McCarthy's Generation Rescue, a foundation for autistic children, included Rose McGowan and newlyweds Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller.

With her divorce settlement behind her, Britney Spears took time out on Saturday night to do something for the kids, adding star wattage to Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey's fundraiser for Generation Rescue, an organization dedicated to researching autism. "She looked great and seemed really happy," says a partygoer of the Snow Queen Vodka-sponsored shindig at the couple's home in Brentwood. Though she kept close to her assistant Brett and didn't speak to other guests, "She smiled and clapped during the video about autism. She was very into the information and watched a little bit of the dancers from Dancing with the Stars,

Latest: Charlie Sheen's attorney has hit back at new claims the actor's home is unsafe for his kids, claiming ex-wife Denise Richards is piling on the drama to boost her reality TV show.

Richards and her lawyer Neal Hersh called an emergency hearing in a Los Angeles court on Thursday, attempting to block her two daughters from visiting their father because there are "serious issues" in the actor's home that could be damaging to them.

The former couple will resolve the issue in court next week.

Speaking outside the court Hersh said, "These are serious issues regarding the children."

But Sheen's lawyer, Marty Singer, insists there's nothing to Richards' mysterious claims: "It is very unfortunate that Denise Richards and her attorney are desperately trying to deprive Charlie his visitation of his children, obviously at the same time trying to create a media circus to help her reality show."

Richards' reality show, It's Complicated, has become a hit on America's E! cable network.

Denise Richards has launched a court battle to block her children from visiting their father Charlie Sheen, claiming there are "serious issues" in the actor's home that could be damaging to them.

The former Bond girl and her lawyer Neal Hersh called an emergency hearing in Los Angeles on Thursday to discuss the matter. It's the latest leg of a bitter and drawn out custody battle between the former husband and wife.

Richards and Sheen are expected back in court to resolve the latest issue next week.

Speaking outside the court Hersh said, "These are serious issues regarding the children. I would hope we will be graced by Charlie Sheen's presence in court on Monday - if he takes these matters seriously regarding his children, like Denise does."

No further details were available as WENN went to press.

Richards and Sheen - parents to three-year-old Sam and Lola, two - have been feuding in public and private since their split in 2005.

Earlier this year Sheen attempted to block his ex-wife from including their daughters in her reality TV show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated.

Actress Amanda Peet has apologised for calling parents who refuse to vaccinate their children "parasites" in a U.S. lifestyle and family magazine.

The new mum has hammered celebrities like Jenny McCarthy and Charlie Sheen who vocally oppose vaccinations in the latest issue of American publication Cookie.

In an article about motherhood, the Whole Nine Yards star says, "There are a lot of misconceptions about the dangers of vaccinations... (but) frankly, I feel that parents who don't vaccinate their children are parasites."

Peet is now backtracking after upsetting family groups with her remarks. In a statement, she says, "I believe in my heart that my use of the word 'parasites' was mean and divisive."

"I completely understand why it offended some parents, and in particular, parents of children with autism who feel that vaccines caused their illness.

"For this I am truly sorry. Since my mom has Parkinson's Disease, I know what it feels like to want a concrete cause, and a concrete cure, as soon as possible. However, I still believe that the decision not to vaccinate our children bodes for a dangerous future."

McCarthy is among those fighting vaccinations, claiming birth injections contributed to her son's autism.

When adventurous treasure hunters Rick and Evelyn O'Connell return for their third film, this summer's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," one of them will look a bit different than they had previously. That's because Evelyn was once played by Rachel Weisz, who passed on this sequel and was replaced by Maria Bello. Likewise, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes from "Batman Begins" continues in this summer's "The Dark Knight," without Katie Holmes; Maggie Gyllenhaal fills in there.

It's a busy year for actors replacing other actors in sequels . we've already had a new Hulk (Edward Norton) and this fall, we'll have a new Punisher to match (Ray Stevenson) . so it's a good time to look back at some of the most notable substitutes. Sometimes new actors in old roles can make a huge impact; Antonio Banderas broke through with American audiences with "Desperado,

The Hollywood Reporter has a new article talking about how Dan Bradley (who?) will direct a remake of the 1984 flick Red Dawn. Carl Ellsworth has been hired to recraft the ultimate homeland invasion story about a new generation of besieged high schoolers. This is all fine, but who really cares when a doozy of a side note is found in the third graph? MGM toppers Harry Sloan and Mary Parent announced the [Red Dawn] remake -- along with a big-budget rebuild of "RoboCop," which director Darren Aronofsky among others has recently been in to discuss -- in May at the Festival de Cannes. Doth my eyes deceive me? Aronofsky? For RoboCop? Of course, the mention is a mere high note in what is probably a list that includes no one else of note. When I read "among others" in a Hollywood rag it is typically because the others weren't mentioning.

I don't care what you say, Death Sentence (review) was the best revenge flick to grace the silver screen since Mel Gibson produced Paparazzi. Can that same kind of gold be struck for a third time in a row?

"Six Degrees" and Flight Plan beauty Erika Christensen has been officially cast in the film formerly known as Tortured. Why the title was dropped is beyond me, but on top of that news, Bd found out that Charlie Sheen is also out of the Rob Lieberman directed mystery pic.

What we do know about the untitled feature is that it revolves around a couple who lose their child to a pedophile who slips through the cracks in the judicial system. This kind of injustice won't go unanswered if the parents have anything to say about it. The bacon is burning!

Hopefully we'll know more about this soon. I just hope the
