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.

In her first televised interview since her DUI arrest in September, Heather Locklear was on the Tonight Show promoting her new Lifetime flick Flirting With 40 (yeah, that sounds about right for a Lifetime movie) and reviewing the year that's almost over.

"I am really looking forward to 2009," she said, "There's, like, three weeks left - I'll stay in my house."

After a 4 week treatment for anxiety and depression in July, which some reports claimed was for prescription pill abuse, the actress was popped for driving under the influence in September and formally charged in November. If convicted, she's looking at 6 months in county jail.

Which actually means she will probably go to jail for only 5 minutes!

She said that even though it was a rough year, she wouldn't do anything differently.

"I wouldn't have done anything differently because, here I am today, happy and healthy — and lessons are learned. I learned some hard lessons."

Yeah, like next time, call a cab!

Heather Locklear has been charged with one count of driving under the influence as a result of her arrest back in September.

But it wasn't alcohol or narcotics, it was a prescription medication that caused the star to drive erratically - or so that's what she's been charged with.

Prescription for what?

Guess we'll find out!

The good news is that she didn't injure anyone (or herself) while driving under the influence.

Use your Melrose Place money to get a good team of lawyers, honey!

Heather Locklear remains in limbo as she awaits the results of her drug test from her DUI arrest of last weekend.

The Melrose Place alum was arrested in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday on suspicion of driving while under the influence. Alcohol was reportedly not involved, leading police to think Locklear was under the influence of drugs or medication. Her drug tests will be returned in a few days, so we'll know for certain then.

Even more interesting is the fact that police were informed of Locklear's erratic driving by a "concerned citizen."

Well it turns out that the concerned citizen is actually former paparazzo boss Jill Ishkanian, who used to work for US Weekly and later formed a photo agency.

In her 911 call, Ishkanian claims Locklear seems "tipsy" though that report isn't matching up to what witnesses saw.

One witness on the scene, Santa Barbara resident Alex Paillon, says that Locklear "did not seem to be drunk at all. She seemed to be acting normal, totally normal. She was just really messy, but not drunk."

Well, you shouldn't be driving messy!

Paillon had seen Locklear in a shopping center just moments before her arrest.

He adds, "I was really surprised to hear she got a DUI because, I mean, I just saw her coming out of the store. She looked fine."

And while police say there was no sign of excessive alcohol consumption, a "drug recognition expert" told police she did appear to be under the influence of some drugs.

Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says, "Toxicology is one piece of information that I want to have in hand before I review the case. Obviously, I want as much information as I can get before I can review the case for any filing, if there is going to be a filing."

As for the former reporter and photog Ishkanian, her attorney says she did nothing wrong by following Locklear, calling in the DUI allegation, and then taking photos of her sobriety test, which were eventually sold for $27,000.

The D.A. says he expects a decision to be made within the next two to three weeks on whether to file charges against Heather.

He adds, "This case is being handled just like any other case of this type."

She better pray her drug tests come back negative!

As we previously mentioned , recently rehabbed wacktress Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or medication in the Santa Barbara area of California.

Now, more arrest details have emerged about what led to the blonde's bust!

According to the LA Times, it was a concerned citizen who kept an allegedly impaired Heather off the streets.

The unnamed citizen called 911 to report that a woman, who turned out to be Locklear, was driving erratically.

Said citizen told cops that she saw a woman who was visibly impaired getting into a car in a parking lot at about 4:30 that afternoon.

Heather apparently went on to drive back and forth over a pair of sunglasses on the pavement and revving her engine. After leaving the parking lot, the former Melrose Place star then stopped her car on the street and stumbled into the traffic lane, according to the caller, who then proceeded to follow the troubled star out of concern.

By the time the California Highway Patrol caught up with Heather, she was parked on a highway lane and blocking traffic. An officer who talked to her determined that she was disoriented and "under the influence of something."

She was then whisked away to police headquarters and tested for alcohol and drugs.

The alcohol test came back negative.

Her drug tests will be returned in a few days.

Thank goodness Heather didn't seriously hurt herself or anyone else!

Good thing that concerned citizen stepped in!

Watch out for one another, y'all!

Another trip to rehab may be coming up very soon!

Heather Locklear was arrested in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday on suspicion of driving while under the influence.

The actress was booked and released later that day on her own recognizance, without having to post bail.

Alcohol is reportedly not involved, leading police to believe that Locklear was under the influence of drugs or medication.

Though her camp denied it at the time, there were reports that Heather's recent stint in rehab was for booze and pill-popping, not just anxiety and depression.

Whatever it was for, it obviously didn't work!

Hopefully she will get the help - and find the peace she needs - soon.

Isn't it an understood rule amongst peeps at rehab that you're not to talk to people on the 'outside' about what went on 'inside'?

Unfortunately, for Heather Locklear, a fellow rehabber yapped to the press.

The snitch reveals that the former Melrose Place star made a lot of friends with other patients while at the Sierra Tucson rehab facility in Arizona. There was no diva behavior.

She was "totally genuine, down-to-earth and warm."

The source went on to report that the actress kept a daily journal and revealed she's working on a couple of books.

There's also a chance that we'll see Heather in a Western flick. She apparently did a lot of riding to improve her horse handling skills.

Like almost every actress these days, the blonde beauty revealed she wants to do an album.

Noooo!

Stick to what you're good at!!

Her ex-husband, Richie Sambora, who has also battled addiction, reportedly called her daily.

The rehab pal also disclosed that Heather will probably walk down the aisle with current BF Jack Wagner (who was also her Melrose co-star).

How exciting! A Melrose wedding!

Locklear also reportedly has seen the new reality show starring former friend Denise Richards. The rehab gossip said, ”Heather thinks the show is a riot — but only because it makes Denise look like an idiot.”

Agreed!
