I bet Melrose Place producers paid Heather Locklear a pretty penny to return to Melrose Place to reprise her role as Amanda Woodward. According to Contact Music,

The star had previously turned down an offer to join the cast of the revamped U.S. TV hit, because she was not convinced writers could find a way of bringing her scheming character back.
However, she met with show bosses again last month (Aug09) and agreed to film new scenes for the program - although it’s unknown how long Locklear’s stint will last.

I wonder if having Amanda Woodward back at Melrose Place is enough to save the new show. I doubt it.

An inside source is saying Heather Locklear is in talks to return to the CW’s new Melrose Place. She would be riving her role as queen beotch Amanda Woodward on the show, which I’m sure will make the die hard fans very happy.

The CW has already signed on a few of the original cast members for season one including Thomas Calabro, Laura Leighton, Daphne Zuniga and Josie Bissett. The season premiere of the new Melrose Place will air September 8 at 9 pm.

Uh-oh, this gossip won’t be making Jack Wagner too happy…

Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear were spotted looking pretty cozy during Ava’s soccer game on January 6, according to Star magazine. Apparently, they got pretty “touchy-feely as they sat side by side on a bench.” A witness dished:

“At one point, she gave him a neck massage.”

A friend also claims:

“They still care about each other and are flirting with the possibility of getting back together.”

Heather’s fiance and former co-star is going to be pissed if this is true. It’s probably best to cut him loose Heather!

On Monday prosecutors finally decided to charge Heather Locklear with driving under the influence of prescription drugs. Heather was arrested in September when a California Highway Patrol officer found her car parked on a highway and blocking a traffic lane.

“A toxicology test showed Locklear had prescription medication in her system, but not alcohol or illegal drugs,” said Lee Carter, senior deputy district attorney for Santa Barbara County, California.

“She was charged with a misdemeanor and not a more serious felony count,” Carter said.

So, since no trace of alcohol or illegal drugs were in her system she faces a lessor charge? She clearly should not have been behind the wheel and had something in her system impairing her driving, which is just the same. Hollywood justice strikes again!

Authorities confirmed Heather Locklear was reportedly arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in Santa Barbara, according to the Associated Press.

Apparently, Heather was busted by a CPH officer on Saturday afternoon after a local resident saw the Hollywood actress leaving the parking lot and “driving erratically.” As mentioned before, Heather was recently treated for anxiety and depression, so she could have been under the influence of her medication for that.

Since ex-husband Bon Jovi’s guitarist Richie Sambora was also arrested for a DUI not too long ago, they should probably hire a driver for themselves, but especially for their daughter Ava Elizabeth.

It has been reported that Heather Locklear checked into an Arizona facility, seeking treatment for psychological issues. A rep for Locklear issued the following statement:

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

Get better Heather! I blame Denise Richards!
