Could Denise Richards play Brandi Glanville in a new TV series?
We reported a few days ago that LeAnn Rimes and poached husband Eddie Cibrian are pitching a TV series about their married life together to various networks, as if we don’t already know an uncomfortable amount about their lives to begin with.
The show would reportedly be a scripted, yet biographical program (a la Curb Your Enthusiasm ) with Rimes and Cibrian playing themselves, and other roles being filled by actors. This means a juicy role for anyone brave enough to play Cibrian’s jilted ex-wife Brandi Glanville.
Instead of being understandably furious over the show, Glanville is actually pitching her own suggestions for the program’s casting . The reality TV star admitted she would like to see Charlie Sheen ex and former Bond girl Denise Richards take on her role in the potential series.
“I’d want Denise Richards to play me. She’s been through similar situations … and she’s hot!” Glanville tells InTouch Magazine .
There are some overlaps there. Richards went through a very bitter and public divorce/custody battle with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, with the two ultimately deciding to put aside their differences and co-parent their two daughters.
To her credit, Glanville says that she’s not going to interfere with the planned TV series, even though it’s a pretty blatant attempt to cash in on the drama and human suffering of all the parties concerned (the show is even billed as a “comedy,” if you can believe it).
But Glanville thinks that since she’s had the soapbox of Real Housewives to air her grievances against the couple, it’s only fair that they get their angle out there, as well.
“I have gotten to be on Real Housewives because of my entire situation, and now so many doors have opened for me. I am really happy where I am and wish everyone the best with everything.”
What do you think? Would Denise Richards be a good Brandi Glanville? Who do you think should play the jilted Real Housewives star?
