Denise Richards is definitely not your average Girl Next Door!

The Wild Things star looked stunning in white skinny jeans and a sheer orange tank that showed off her tanned and toned arms, while promoting her new book, The Real Girl Next Door, at Barnes and Noble on Tuesday.

The actress (and new mama to just-adopted baby daughter Eloise) made an appearance on NBC Today yesterday morning to promote her new book, and opened up on her feelings for ex-hubby, Charlie Sheen.

Richards confessed, "The man I fell in love with is very compassionate, humble and has a wonderful hear. And the behavior that a lot of us saw in the last six months is not the person I met and fell in love with. He's also a survivor and if anyone can pull themselves together, it's Charlie."

Richards confessed on NBC Today she had to go back and re-edit portions of her book after sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men and went on his Torpedo of Truth rampage, because she didn't want to answer any questions about her ex at all, saying: "He's the father of our daughters, and I still care very much for him and want him well."

The actress also confessed she had a talk with daughters Sam, 7, and Lola, 6, about addiction, so they could better understand what their dad was going through -- before they heard it from kids at school.
