      This girl is kinda F'd up. She's single with two daughters already.....she knows she wants to find a new love in her life and father to the girls.....so what the F' is she doing adopting another girl? Is this some Hollywood thing or is she feeling insecure? What if future husband wants to have kids....now a potential suitor has to deal with the fact that Denise has gone baby crazy like that Octo-mom.

      Ok, let the hate comments begin......but you know I'm right.

      Good for Denise, she has shown herself to be a stable parent to her girls, and with her fathers help seems to be raising them well, especially given the chaos that surrounds their father. It is wonderful that she has opened her heart to a child who might otherwise not have gotten the opportunity in life for a loving home. Hopefully one day Sam and Lola's half brothers will be as lucky.

      Regardless of what people think of her she appears to be a devoted mom. I am not impressed with her acting though. But if she can adopt another child and give her a better life, I say more power to her. I applaud anyone that adopts a child and bring her or him into your family. And most importantly, she included her girls with this decision and even helping with the name. Now that's a family unit. No matter where you like or hate her. I give her credit for this.

        Who cares what you think of her acting, you idiot. That doesn't even enter into this conversation.
    • Townes Maurice  •  11 mths ago
      as long as he`s doing what he needs to do for himself and his family give him a break. He`s a good guy!
      • ted robb 10 mths ago
        Surely you are not talking about Charlie, you IDIOT.
      • sinnamonwolf 10 mths ago

    • aznative  •  10 mths ago
      What a nice thing to do, I have always said she has alot of class except of course for the relapse of marrying a pig. But good for her!! Congrats Denise!
    • cc  •  11 mths ago

    • Sleeze Radar  •  10 mths ago
      Who knew she had the money, time or love for ANOTHER one. She better know what she's doing, time will tell. Hope the child doesn't end up paying for this....
    • RHB  •  10 mths ago
      That means there will be 4 spoiled brats, mom included, at the table. I feel sorry for all the nannies in that house.
    • DJ Outlaw  •  10 mths ago
      Good for her... It just shows that it pays to have money....I hope she can give it a better life.... But no more reality shows....
    • Keep On Loving  •  11 mths ago

    • eagle eye  •  11 mths ago

    • Danny  •  11 mths ago

    • Rancy  •  11 mths ago
      To these rich celebrities its just like bringing home a new puppy! No worries about the next meal or college or if the fridge breaks etc. Its hard to take this seriously with the shape of our country and people!
    • Kin  •  11 mths ago
      Good for her Its better to have someone than no one Hope she loves and cares for this child as she does her own
    • Rufus Brown  •  11 mths ago
      Wow, they'll let anyone adopt in the USA.
      • ted robb 10 mths ago
        Probably not you, Rufus.
    • Poopikinz  •  11 mths ago
      She looks like a good mom but can't help but think that money can buy anything. So many two parent families desperate to adopt a baby....she already has two of her own.
    • John  •  11 mths ago
      So she makes a fortune from Charlie in child support every year and goes out and adopts another kid. Why? Her two aren't enough? Oh, that's right...I forgot! She's a rich celebrity! She PAYS someone to take care of her brats. And what does "...over the moon..." mean? Over the moon? Really?
      • A Yahoo! User 10 mths ago
        it means really happy and is a figure of speech. Oh and can you do everybody a favor and stop being a hatter cause she is going to keep doing her no matter what rude comment you post on yahoo about her
    • Inacoma123  •  11 mths ago
      Heck..I would have given her one...all she had to do was ask.
    • Maurice Rhoden  •  10 mths ago
      So ? Big deal.
    • sinnamonwolf  •  10 mths ago
      I've always felt sorry for her daughters, whenever photographed they were sucking their thumbs and if they didn't have their thumbs in their mouth they weren't smiling. Just awhile ago when they showed the family on vacation swimming with dolphins was the first time I seen one of them smiling. I realize that the photographers may be doing that on purpose, but the thumbsucking tells me they need some extra comfort.
