Actress Richards now mother of 3 (AP)

NEW YORK – Denise Richards has added a third little one to her family, this time through adoption.

The 40-year-old actress recently adopted a newborn baby girl. Richards named the infant Eloise Joni after her mother, who succumbed to cancer four years ago. Richards' representative, Jill Fritzo, on Wednesday confirmed the adoption.

Richards has two daughters by her ex-husband Charlie Sheen. The actress and former model says 7-year old Sam and 5-year old Lola couldn't be happier with their new sister and feel blessed.

Richards and Sheen had a turbulent marriage that Richards wrote about in a memoir, scheduled to be released in July.

Keith Richards in studio working on solo material (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) – Keith Richards, in his uniquely cryptic manner, has suggested that a solo project may come to fruition before another Rolling Stones tour, which had been rumored for this year.

In an interview with "Late Night" talk show host Jimmy Fallon Wednesday, Richards said he has been in the studio with drummer Steve Jordan and that an album "is starting to blossom."

Jordan writes and produces with Richards in the guitarist's side project The X-pensive Winos, who have not issued an album in 19 years.

The X-pensive Winos project appears to springing from no particular plan. "It's when inspiration hits," Richards said, appearing on the show to promote his book "Life" -- recently issued in paperback -- and the fourth edition of "Pirates of the Caribbean," opening May 20.

As for the Stones, who Richards said last year would again record and tour, he said he's "trying to nail them down, but I don't want to crucify them."

A lawsuit between their longtime promoter Michael Cohl and his former employer Live Nation may need to be settled before any tour gets under way. The Stones last toured in 2007.

Denise Richards Flees U.S. to Avoid Charlie Sheen's Rage

After a disastrous start to his 'Violent Torpedo Of Truth, Defeat Is Not An Option' tour in Detroit and a slightly improved performance in Chicago, Charlie Sheen is looking to lash out and blame someone for his failure. This time it won't be ex-wife Denise Richards.

"Denise doesn't want to get dragged into any of this and has taken herself and her girls far away to the Bahamas on vacation," a friend of Charlie's tells me. "Whenever things go bad for Charlie he always lashes out at Denise. This time she took no chances and fled the country before he even stepped foot on stage."
At Sheen's first performance, on Saturday evening, the crowd was already restless, booing the opening comic off stage before Charlie appeared. Once the former 'Two and a Half Men' star appeared, his standing ovation quickly gave way to boos and attendees walking out and demanding refunds.

The new biggest fear for Team Sheen is that bad word of mouth will affect the already tepid ticket sales in the following cities.

"What will most likely happen is discounts will be offered to Ticketmaster's email list and bulk sales groups like Groupon," an A-list tour promoter tells me. "Groupon does mass email to their buyers in specific zip codes, offering deep discounts and taking a hefty percentage for providing the service. On most of these services, you don't know about it unless you previously bought something and are on their mass email list. In other words, you probably just couldn't go to the Ticketmaster website and find the discounted tickets."

But it's not just ticket sales that are a concern. Friends of Charlie's warn that the actor's ego will not tolerate half-empty houses and bad audience reaction for long.

"Charlie has a hard time when confronted with reality," a friend of the actor tells me. "He would rather cancel the whole tour and blame it on bad promoters than admit he's not winning."

Which means Denise might be able to cut her getaway short, too. She might want to stick in the Bahamas a bit longer, though -- if Charlie is anything, it's unpredictable.

'Scared' Denise Richards Ups Security After Charlie Sheen's 'Vile' Attack

Denise Richards is taking no chances when it comes to protecting herself and her daughters following Charlie Sheen's "vile" public attack on her, with sources telling me the 'Starship Troopers' beauty has "increased her security" at home.

"Denise and her girls live a simple life," an insider tells me. "She wants Sam and Lola to have normal lives, but after the recent threats and verbal attacks, she has increased her security. When you are dealing with a mad man, it's better to be safe than sorry."
We became aware of the most recent attacks from Charlie via Twitter, when he called Denise a "traitor and loser whore" and accused her of stealing his dogs. Friends of the pair tell me the hate isn't new, however -- it's been going on for months.

"How Denise has managed to keep all this secret for so long is a miracle," a friend of the former couple tells me. "If Charlie is willing to put those evil tweets out in public, you can only imagine what he has called Denise in private."

All of this started after Denise refused to allow Charlie to use their daughters as a photo opportunity in a TV interview he set up after his two sons with Brooke Mueller were removed from his custody last month. Since then, he has been on the attack, and it doesn't look like it will end any time soon.

"Denise has learned how to deal with the name calling, but once you start tweeting pictures of yourself with knives and saying you wished someone would die it's a totally different game," the pal says. "Denise is no longer angry -- she's scared."
