Denise Richards & Richie Sambora Together?!?

This is why we adore Us Weekly…they always have the juiciest stories!

“In her time of crisis, Denise Richards, 35, didn’t turn to good friend Heather Locklear, 44: She turned to Locklear’s estranged husband Richie Sambora – and not just for a friendly shoulder to cry on. On April 20, she and 46-year-old Sambora looked very much the happy couple in Laguna Beach, California.

The following day, Richards filed a declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that estranged husband Charlie Sheen threatened her life and visited porn Web sites featuring young men and seemingly-underage girls during their marriage. Richards also charges that Sheen urged her to abort their first child, and is so addicted to gambling that he was preoccupied with checking his pager for betting results as their second child was being born via C-section.

Sambora’s 11-year-marriage to Locklear ended in early February when his wife filed for divorce. “Richie didn’t want to get divorced,” a Sambora pal told Us Weekly at the time. “But neither of them has been happy for years.” Another source said that Locklear and Richards had turned to each other for support as their marriages were crumbling. “[Heather and Denise] are helping each other,” said a friend of the duo. “They talk a lot.”

Is this a new beginning for Richards and Sambora? Sure looks like it. In the upcoming issue of Us, look out for photos of their sexy beach romp which finds the pair K-I-S-S-I-N-G (oh, and there’s some straddling involved, too).
