Not many new mothers host their own baby shower, especially for a third child, but that is exactly what Denise Richards did on Saturday at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills.
She mentioned the event on Twitter and drew some flak from a rather opinionated follower. The woman said “One shower is all we do, seems backwards for rich to do more! I just can’t wrap my head around it I guess. I’m expecting my third and we have nothing but I’d never have another shower.”
Richards fired back incredulously: “My daughter isn’t allowed to receive gifts from special friends cuz I’m “rich?” It’s not about the gifts, it’s about celebrating a birth. And you’re quite judgmental.”
The author and reality show star invited her celebrity girlfriends to meet the newest member of the Richards’ family, adopted daughter Eloise Joni, who arrived in June.
Attending the champagne event, orchestrated by celebrity planner Mindy Weiss, were Tori Spelling, Lisa Rina, Ali Landry, Nancy O’Dell, Mel B and Alison Sweeney. Out of the country and unable to attend was pal Brooke Burke, who sent her a Twitter greeting.
The DWTS co-host ‘tweeted’ from Italy: “I’m sad to miss it, but my gift is on the way.”
Denise shared a Twitpic of the three-tiered confection by Cake Divas. The theme was ‘Three’s a Charm” – a reference to the fact that Eloise has two older sisters, Sam, 7, and Lola, 6. Their daddy is actor Charlie Sheen.
