The series premiere of Melrose Place Tuesday night was a HUGE disappointment for The CW.

The highly advertised premiere came in a staggering last place in the network ratings!

Even last year's (now-canceled) Privileged had a bigger audience for their first episode…by 37 percent!

Ouch! The truth hurts, doesn't it, Asslee?

We're not sure if Heather Locklear can even save this hot mess of a show?

What do U think? Did U tune in last night?

Heather Locklear might be returning to Melrose Place!!!!

FINALLY, some good news for the show.

According to reports, Locklear is currently in talks now to return to the show as the lovely and conniving Amanda Woodward.

The thought that Locklear is even considering returning is helping us get over the fact that Asslee Simpson's role on the show might ruin it all.

Earlier this year we mentioned that Locklear had reportedly turned down returning because execs couldn't agree to her money demands.

What's changed? Are they gonna end up paying her more?

Whatever it takes, bbs.

Just bring back Locklear!

Forget about Shatner!!!!!

We wonder if Heather Locklear will make a cameo!!!

A feature film adaptation of their 1982 TV series, T.J. Hooker, is in the works!!!!

The project is to be centered on the title character, the no-nonsense patrol sergeant originally played by William Shatner, and his relationship with his father.

Why, God, Why?!

"The series was the poster child for cop TV shows in the 1980s with great stunts, so we think there's a fun movie to be made from it," said producer Ryan Heppe.

Heppe and his producing partner David Foster are also responsible for the Short Circuit remake!

All tapped out of ideas, fellas?!

Just like the new incarnation of Beverly Hills 90210, the revamp of Melrose Place is welcoming back original cast members to bring in first generation viewers.

It was announced this morning that Josie Bissett will return to her former stomping ground as Jane Andrews Mancini, sister to Laura Leighton's Sydney Andrews, who is also slated to appear.

Still no word on Heather Locklear, though.

Stop pulling a Tiffani Thiessen and just get your ass on the show!

As we mentioned earlier this month, Heather Locklear is no longer in negotiations to join the new version of Melrose Place on The CW.

We guessed that Heather probably wanted too much money to reprise her role as Amanda Woodward.

Turns out…we were right!

According to new reports, Locklear was asking for too much money.

One insider revealed, "In these tough economic times, the network simply wouldn't - or couldn't - pay Heather the kind of money she thought she deserved. She wanted at least $100k per episode, which is what she could have commanded in pre-recession days, and the CW would only pay half that…or less."

Not to mention Heather isn't too happy that producers want to focus more on the new cast, which as you recall is set to include Ashlee Simpson, and less on her.

The source adds, "Heather probably wouldn't even have been a regular character on the new Melrose Place, but a recurring star. She was mainly going to be used to lure old fans to the new show. But Heather was looking for a meatier role and much more money."

If you can't pay up, then shut up!

But we're guessing Heather's right. A lot of people might not tune in if Amanda isn't back on the show.

Bring Amanda back!

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!

With Asslee Simpson already involved, it really should be no mystery why Heather Locklear has officially backed out of the Melrose Place reboot.

A source tells Entertainment Weekly, "There wasn't a way to bring her back that made sense."

Translation: "Hang out with Ashlee Simpson? Yeah effin' right!"

Smart for Heather, bummer for the rest of us!

P.S. Bitch probably wanted too much money.

P.P.S. She's worth it!!!!!!! It's fucking Amanda Woodward!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So nice to see two adults in Hollywood behaving like….adults!

Recently in rehab Heather Locklear was spotted spending some time with her ex-husband, Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora, on Thursday.

The two were at their daughter Ava Elizabeth's soccer game in Los Angeles.

Mom and dad watched the game from the sidelines, though they sat separately from each other.

And regardless of Locklear and Sambora's rocky past, it's nice to see they can act civil when it comes to their kid.

As y'all know, former Melrose Place star Heather Locklear was arrested in Santa Barbara back in September for suspicion of driving under the influence.

Well, her lawyer got the DUI charge ousted on Friday!

Locklear instead pled no contest to reckless driving, a misdemeanor.

She'll be placed on three years informal probation, pay a $700 fine, and she must attend a 12-hour drug education course.

Lucky break, Heather!

As we mentioned back in October, after the success of the revamped 90210, The CW is now working on bringing back sister show Melrose Place.

Well, we all know Melrose Place was nothing without Amanda Woodward!

And, now it seems things are looking better for Heather Locklear since her DUI arrest in September.

The older hottie has reportedly been approached to join the cast of the new Melrose, reprising her role as the mischievous Woodward.

An inside source says, "The CW is courting Heather Locklear. I don't think anyone else from the original has been approached yet."

They don't need anyone else! But, if they're going go back to the vaults, bring back Sydney too!

The new Melrose Place is tentatively set to premier next fall.
