Denise Richards’s Birthday: A Look Back at Reality TV Royalty Rankings!

Raise your glass, because it’s Denise Richards’ 54th birthday, and E! is celebrating in style with a ranking of every single Real Housewife that has graced our screens—159 in total! That’s right, whether they brought glamour or chaos (or sometimes both), each of these ladies has left their mark on the Bravo universe. Remember Denise? She became a fan favorite during her two-season run on *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* with unforgettable moments like her epic showdown with Lisa Rinna and the now-legendary “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo” scene, where she desperately tried to get the cameras to stop rolling during a meltdown!
Denise’s journey doesn’t end there, though. She’s re-entering the reality TV scene with her own docuseries, *Denise Richards & Her Wild Things*, premiering March 4. Expect the usual drama as she juggles life as a mom to three daughters—Sami and Lola Sheen with ex Charlie Sheen, and Eloise—while trying to maintain her Hollywood glam. She hilariously remarked about parenting with the gold-standard Hollywood pedigree, “I guess you have a f–ked up mom and a f–ked up dad and we’ve got f–ked up kids now. I’m kidding!” But honestly, a quick look at the ups and downs of growing up under the spotlight suggests there might be some truth in her humor.
As Denise blows out her birthday candles, we can’t help but scan E!’s list of the best and worst Housewives. Alongside legends like *Real Housewives of New York*’s Bethenny Frankel, and OG Kyle Richards, some entries—like the ill-fated *Real Housewives of D.C.* cast—serve as a reminder of what not to do. Those forgettable faces scored low on the popularity meter, and with good reason. After all, not every Bravo show can be iconic!
So, as we clink glasses and dive into the nostalgia, let’s also keep an eager eye on Denise’s new venture, where she promises moments that bring us back to the wild ride of reality television we’ve all come to love—or love to hate! Bravo indeed!
