Denise Richards wants out of the tabloids - really she does. So much so that the 'Wild Things' starpraised Angelina Jolie and baby Shiloh for getting her out of the spotlight.

Angelina Jolie and Shiloh Praised by Denise Richards

Richards and new sweetie Richie Sambora have been making the covers some weekly mags ever since they were spotted making out on a balcony last month.

Page Six gives the details of an upcoming interview:

Fellow tabloid favorite Denise Richards said she's happy that their little bundle of publicity was born two weeks ago - so the supermarket mags would have something to write about other than her teeming-with-nasty-details divorce and public make-out sessions with her former friend's ex-husband, Richie Sambora.

"I was so thankful that Angelina had that baby," the "Wild Things" star confessed in an interview on Entertainment Tonight that'll air tomorrow and Tuesday. "And how gorgeous is she?

I'm like, please have that baby so it takes it away from us!"

Sounds like riveting TiVo material.

Recently New York Daily News gossip columnist Lloyd Grove hinted that it was Denise herself that tips off the paparazzi to get attention:

He wrote:

Denise Richards and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora — the alienated spouses of Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear — continued their triumphal paparazzi tour this week in the City of Light.

Somehow, somebody — I wonder who? — made sure a photographer was on hand to catch them snogging and clinking wine glasses at a Parisian cafe and then strolling and smiling in camera-ready bliss.

So - is Denise really calling in tips to paparazzi so she can get on magazine covers - or does she just want to be left alone?

She did drop Angelina and Shiloh's name in the interview.
