Heather Locklear Return to Melrose Place Still Possible (PHOTOS)

Meg — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:58:17 +0000

In March 2009 we reported that actress Heather Locklear would not be joining the cast of Melrose Place to resprise her role as Amanda Woodward. We are happy to report that negotiations are underway that could signal her return for the CW version premiering this fall.

Locklear played a backstabbing ad executive on the original prime time soap opera television series that aired for seven seasons on FOX from 1992-1999. Produced by the late Aaron Spelling, filming took place in Santa Clarita California.

Former cast members Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga have already signed on. Calabro is the only cast member that appeared during the entire run of the original series.

Heather Locklear Melrose Place Return Status

Missy — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:02:20 +0000

It looks like we won’t be seeing or hearing Amanda Woodward back on the streets of Melrose Place after all. Actress Heather Locklear was expected by many to return to reprise her role as Amanda, but apparently it is not to be.

A source close to the set said that “There wasn’t a way to bring her back that made sense.” No matter how the media spins it, Locklear’s side says they are the ones who turned down the deal.

Who can you look forward to seeing on the new Melrose? New mommy Ashlee Simpson will have a spot, as will the daughter of David Cassidy, Katie.

Another oldie but goody Lisa Rinna, who played Taylor McBride on the original show, is campaigning to be back on the set and is going to great lengths to show the producers that her fans miss her. If Rinna’s magic doesn’t work, don’t despair because you will get a chance to see her this summer on the pages of Playboy.

Will you watch Melrose Place this fall?

Heather Locklear DUI Dismissed

Meg — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:21:44 +0000

Heather Locklear was able to plead no contest to reckless driving in an agreement that dismissed the previous charge of DUI. She received three year’s probation, will pay a $700 fine and must attend a 12-hour drug education course. High powered defense attorney Blair Berk appeared in Santa Barbara court for the proceedings.

The actress was arrested on suspicion of DUI in September 2008. Blood tests indicated there was no alcohol in Locklear’s system but the actress tested positive for prescription medication.

The details of how she was nabbed got a little ‘grey’. Check them out here.

We’re not for celebrity justice but in this particular case, it appears that justice was indeed meted out appropriately. We wish Heather a prosperous and healthy 2009.

Heather Locklear ‘Flirting With Forty’ on Lifetime (Photos)

Meg — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 13:14:12 +0000

Heather Lockler, age 47, plays a divorcee who finds romance when she takes a holiday vacation in an upcoming made for TV movie on the Lifetime channel. She stars with Robert Buckley, 27, who has had a recent role on Lipstick Jungle.

The premise of the film is that Locklear’s character is soon turning 40 and decides to pack off her kids to her ex-husband and head on a tropical adventure. It pays off when she meets a much younger man and finds romance.

The movie will air Saturday December 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime. It will also be shown in the same time slot on December 7 and 8.

We’ve got some follow up to report on Heather Locklear’s September 27, 2008 arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance. The actress took a blood test at the time of the arrest and was formally charged on November 17 with a misdemeanor count of DUI.

According to Santa Barbara County Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter, no alcohol or illegal narcotics were found in her system. Officers believe the prescription medication she was taking “could have impaired her ability to safely drive a motor vehicle.”

Check out some hot pics from the movie below.

Heather Locklear’s 911 Tipster Under Investigation (911 Call Video)

Meg — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:02:19 +0000

Heather Locklear was arrested last Saturday, September 27th, for driving under the influence of a controlled substance. New information has been uncovered about the ~~informant~~ concerned citizen who phoned in the 911 call. Access Hollywood is reporting that former US Weekly reporter turned paparazzo Jill Ishkanian made the call.

When Ishkanian called 911, she told the dispatcher that she had first seen Locklear at a local market and that she was drunk. In hot pursuit of the actress, the pap gave a blow by blow description of what was happened. The dispatcher told her to immediately stop following Locklear. Whether she complied is up for debate.

Here is where things get interesting. It turns out that Ishkanian is currently under investigation by the FBI for hacking into US Weekly computers in order to locate celebrities. Now the question is, did she set up Locklear in order to create the story and secure the hot money shots?

Jill Ishkanian’s attorney says that she was not staking out the actress or even working at the time. He is reportedly furious with the allegations against his client. “It’s defamatory in the extreme and it’s causing my client….damage.”

We’re more inclined to be sympathetic toward Heather Locklear and would guess the courts will take a closer look at the whole mess before sentencing the actress – and rightly so. Heather Locklear’s drug test results will not be available for a few weeks.

Check out photos of Ishkanian below as well as the 911 video recording.

Heather Locklear Arrested in Santa Barbara

Missy — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 18:15:19 +0000

Actress Heather Locklear was arrested yesterday in the Santa Barbara area for suspicion of driving under the influence. Police are reporting that alcohol is not believed to be the culprit and tests are being conducted to check for drug use.

Locklear was released on her own recognizance without needing to post bail. This year has been one hell of a year for the actress and her ex-husband Richie Sambora. In March, Sambora was also arrested for driving under the influence. He was arrested with his and Locklear’s 10 year old daughter Ava and her young cousin in the car.

Heather checked herself into an Arizona treatment facility in June for anxiety and depression. It looks as though her troubles are not behind her and it may prove to be harder for her to get full custody of Ava. We will update again when more information becomes available.

Heather Locklear In Treatment

Missy — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:28:02 +0000

Actress Heather Locklear has entered a facility in Arizona to be treated for anxiety and depression. Locklear’s publicist has confirmed this information to People:

“Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation for her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment. This is a confidential matter and no further statement will be released.”

Friends have said that Heather has had a rough year. With her divorce from Richie Sambora and his arrest in March for driving drunk with the couple’s daughter in the car, there has been much to worry about. I am sure all the media attention Denise Richards is getting can’t be sitting well with Heather either. Richards hooked up with Sambora shortly after Locklear and the rocker separated.

Jack Wagner, who has been dating Locklear since April also made a statement to People:

“Anyone who has the courage to seek help in order to live a healthy life gets my support 110 percent.”

We wish Heather good health and happiness. View more photos of the actress below.

Heather Locklear & Denise Richards Bikini Matchup Photos

Heather Locklear, 46, and Denise Richards, 37, used to be best buds. That all ended after Denise hooked up with Heather’s ex Richie Sambora. Though the relationship eventually waned, the rivalry continues between the once close neighbors and confidants.

Denise and her young daughters by ex husband Charlie Sheen, are currently working with Ryan Seacrest Productions on the development of a reality television show that will appear on E! this summer. The project will show the actress and her children getting their lives back on track after the marital split. Seacrest’s production company also produces Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which has recently been picked up for a second season.

Heather and her daughter are also working through some issues. Ten year old Ava was in the car with her father, Sambora, last month when he was arrested for DUI. He has apparently escaped a charge of child endangerment. His next court appearance on May 7, 2008.

Speculation about Locklear mental state was raised after a 911 call came in to LAPD on March 10th, indicating that a woman had threatened suicide. Paramedics were turned away by the actress, who reported that everything was fine at the residence. The call was reportedly made by Locklear’s personal physician who was concerned for her well being after speaking to her in an earlier phone call.

Richards and Locklear have both made a media splash this week with bikini photos in Hawaii. Because of their rivalry, we decided to do a side by side comparison. It is obvious that both women are in excellent physical condition – no doubt making time for workouts on a regular basis. Nine years separate the pair so if we have to chose, we’d say the nod must go to Locklear at age 46, who can still wear a bikini with no worries.

Heather Locklear Looks Cold

Missy — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:39:03 +0000

Last week 911 received a call from Heather Locklear’s therapist, saying he feared the actress was going to commit suicide.

Yesterday Heather and boyfriend Jack Wagner were out and about. The couple grabbed some lunch in Malibu.

From the picture above, she looks happy and the only thing I can see wrong is that she forgot her bra at home. Heather, you might want to keep your girls covered up so you don’t get sick.

Locklear’s rep made a statement saying that the call did not come from the star’s home and that she was not in need of help.

Heather Locklear is Not in Need of a 5150 Hold

Last night 911 got a call to respond to the residence of Heather Locklear. The caller stated that they feared Locklear was going to try to commit suicide.

First things first – the call did not even come from the actress’s Thousand Oaks home. Once the fire department and paramedics arrived it became obvious very quickly that Heather was not in danger.

We will let you know if anything else comes of this. Good thing is, there was no need for a 5150 hold.
