Heather Locklear and Johnathon Schaech will star in the upcoming Lifetime Original Movie "Angels Fall," based on popular author Nora Roberts' most recent number-one New York Times best-seller.
"Angels Fall" tells the story of a woman who is the sole survivor of a restaurant massacre, now trying to rebuild her life, only to find herself in the middle of a murder mystery once again. "Angels Fall" will premiere in February 2007 on Lifetime Television. "We think the popularity of Heather Locklear and Johnathon Schaech and the success Nora Roberts' has had with Angels Fall is a winning combination. We're excited to have these two gifted actors on Lifetime, and look forward to a movie audiences are sure to enjoy," said Libby Beers, Vice President, Original Movies. In "Angels Fall," Reece Gilmore (Locklear) has been aimlessly driving cross-country, slowly putting her life back together after a traumatic incident at the Boston restaurant where she worked. When her car breaks down in a picturesque Wyoming town, she takes a job in a local diner intending to earn just enough money to move on. As she gets to know the residents of the town, including the handsome, mysterious Brody (Schaech), she begins to feel that she may have found a safe place to call home. However, just as Reece is starting to feel comfortable, she believes she witnesses a murder. The police can find no evidence to validate her story and immediately afterward, strange events begin to occur that make Reece question her own sanity and fear for her safety.

Wedding for Denise Richards and Richie?
The on again, off again saga between Richie and Denise continues. Now reports say that Denise and Richie are planning a wedding! So much for Richie dumping her huh? Not sure how reliable the sources are but it makes for fun reading I guess....read on.....
Denise Richards who betrayed her pal Heather Locklear by romancing her soon to be ex hubby Richie Sambora is planning to marry the Bon Jovi guitarist, a published report claims.
Wedding Bells - Already?
Alan Smith, writing in the Enquirer reports they are already planning a wedding. So that's why she's chasing Richie all over Europe. In what will either be blockbuster news or sweet relief for Heather and Denise's ex Charlie Sheen the magazine claims wedding bells are planned for 2007.
"Richie and Denise are defying the naysayers and setting up arrangements for a wedding early next year when they are free of their bonds," an insider tells the magazine. "This is a serious romance - not two boomerangers. They feel destined to be together forever."
So much so - that Denise dumped her kids on her mom and dad - and headed off to Europe to hang with Richie on tour.
That came right after Richie declared that he was single - to an audience of adoring female fans at his concert. The report claims it will be a small wedding at Denise's newly purchased home. It all seems very sudden - especially considering the messy ongoing divorce of Denise and Charlie.

Richie Dumps Denise
Sitting side by side, Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora beamed with pride as they watched their daughter Ava at her dance recital. Both parents applauded wildly when 8 year old Ava took her final bow. It seems as if all the months of friction between them has vanished. And for good reason.
After upsetting Heather terribly by hooking up with her ex-best friend, Denise Richards, Richie showed his true feelings by ending the romance. But Denise is devastated by the development. According to a pal, Denise was very heavy hearted and anxious when her new boyfriend suddenly stopped calling her and e-mailing her. And then her worst fears were realized. She feels as if her world is crashing down. But as hurtful as it may be, another insider says Richie's feelings for Heather and especially for daughter Ava made him reconsider his fling with Denise. "Richie's cooled on Denise" the friend says. "He's definitely pulled back."
Richie became concerned about the effect his relationship with Denise might have on Ava. He does not want anything to get in his way of his relationship with his daughter. He is very protective of her says a friend. Whats more he still cares deeply for Heather. Right up until the moment he and Denise were spotted kissing on April 19, Richie had been trying to win back his wife. He sent Heather flowers and a crystal heart necklace says the insider. Then during a recent date, Richie told Denise that Heather was the love of his life. Richie is regretting the fact that his relationship with Denise was so public...not to mention that his closest friends disappoved of that relationship. Richie's Bon Jovi bandmates are against the idea of taking Denise on tour with them. They are all a little concerned abouthow all the negative publicity surrounding Denise would affect their upcoming summer tour. "Richie's female fans love Heather", says an insider. Having Denise around on tour could hurt more than ticket sales. Pals say a break from Denise will allow Richie to clear his head and get his life back in order.
Richie has remained steadfast in saying that he had never cheated on Heather during their marriage. He told US Weekly "I will do anything to enable all of us to move past all of this,” he says, “I remained faithful during my marriage. And I defy anyone to refute that.” I guess doing "anything" meant splitting from Denise Richards. Wise move Richie! It is certainly possible that his fling with Denise was just a rebound reaction to his hurting from his divorce with Heather. In a few of the photos of him and Denise kissing he looks a little drunk. Being sober I am sure he realized what a mistake he made being with Denise.
And as for who has more public sympathy is this war...Denise or Heather... Heather wins hands down. Eighty-seven percent are on "Team Heather's" side while only 13 percent are going with "Team Denise".

Denise Richards tells Heather Locklear of her love for Richie
Actress DENISE RICHARDS reportedly called a summit meeting with longtime pal and neighbour HEATHER LOCKLEAR to reveal she was in love with Heather's estranged husband.
The WILD THINGS star, who is in the middle of a bitter divorce from CHARLIE SHEEN, met up with Locklear days before going public with her RICHIE SAMBORA romance, according to US publication In Touch. Hollywood gossips claim the Sambora/Richards romance has ended the friendship between the two actresses, who spent New Year's Eve (31DEC06) together at a concert - without their husbands. The publication also claims Richards may have been instrumental in prompting Locklear to divorce her husband after 11 years of marriage. While Denise apparently had the decency to tell Heather about it before they went public over their romance, Denise was still the one that pushed for Heather and Richie to separate in the first place. A friend also tells In Touch, "She was the one who told Heather to file for divorce."
Last year (05), Denise was one of just six women Heather invited to share her 44th birthday celebration at restaurant Koi in Los Angeles. The two actresses are set for an awkward time of it in the coming weeks and months - they are neighbours in Westlake Village, California.
And now the question is... when did the Sambora/Richards affair start? Friends say Heather believes Denise may have been secretly seeing Richie, 46, for some time. “She was the one who told Heather to file for divorce,” an insider says. “Now it looks like she had an ulterior motive.” Its being reported that Denise encouraged Heather to dump Richie. If there is anything to end a friendship between two women, it’s when one of them goes off with the other’s husband - even if they are separated at the time. --“Heather thinks Denise is the worst kind of woman — a backstabber,” says a pal. “She wants nothing to do with her ever again.” Not surprisingly, the affair does not please Locklear, who views it as betrayal. In fact, when Denise went with a friend to a Bon Jovi concert and after-party on March 3 in L.A., a source tells Star: "Heather went crazy when she learned her best friend had gone to the party. She told Denise she was a traitor who had betrayed their friendship." She reportedly even went so far as to ask if Richards and Sambora were having an affair, and Denise — who hadn't slept with him yet — was too stunned to answer, prompting Locklear to proclaim, according to a source, "Well, I think you've answered the question. I never want to see you again." Locklear is really the only one that comes off clean in any way in this as she looks to be the innocent victim. Besides crushing Heather, Richie’s affair with Denise is also bound to upset his and Heather’s 8-year-old daughter, Ava.
Insiders say Ava knows Denise as her mother’s friend — not as her father’s girlfriend.

Heather Locklear named to People Magazines 100 Most Beautiful People
At age 44, Heather Locklear still has what it takes to make heads turn. That must be just one of the reasons Heather made the pick for The Worlds Most Beautiful People due out in the May issue of People Magazine. Angelina Jolie tops the list coming in at number one. However, Heathers ex-gal pal Denise Richards didn't seem to make the list.

Heather Locklear Betrayed By So Called Friend Denise Richards & Soon To Be Ex Richie Sambora?
It looks like in her time of crisis, Denise Richards, 35, didn’t turn to good friend Heather Locklear, 44, she instead turned to Locklear’s estranged husband Richie Sambora – and not just for a friendly shoulder to cry on either. On April 20, she and 46-year-old Sambora looked very much the happy couple in Laguna Beach.
Denise is really, really good friends with Heather. (or should we say WAS friends with Heather) They met when Heather and Charlie costarred on Spin City and they've remained close. In fact, Heather was a huge comfort to Denise when she first split with Charlie last year. The gals spend birthdays together and are frequently seen out on the town. Locklear was there for Richards when she split from Sheen and helped take care of her newborn daughter Lola.
So why is Denise Richards (currently embroiled in a nasty divorce from Charlie Sheen) romancing her close pal Heather Locklear’s estranged husband? Good question.
Richards and Sambora were spotted on a date Saturday in the Westlake Village neighbourhood outside of Los Angeles. The actress and the Bon Jovi guitarist arrived in separate cars at Le Café at around 5:00 pm. After meeting up in the parking lot, the two kissed then walked hand-in-hand, smiling and chatting as they headed toward the restaurant, where they shared a romantic dinner on the covered patio. Witnesses claim Richards and Sambora held hands across the table and at one point, they kissed each others hands before kissing on the lips. Less than an hour later the pair left the restaurant at 5:45 p.m. and they left in one car.
And on Monday, Richards and Sambora were seen on the balcony of his oceanside home and then later, on the beach watching the sunset.
It should be interesting, to say the least, to see how Heather reacts to all of this. I'm sure she will handle it with dignity and class. Heather certainly seems to have alot more class then her pal Richards does.

David Spade might "feel bad" that Heather Locklear has been "connected" with him, as he told Ellen DeGeneres last week, but he apparently isn't overwhelmed with guilt. Extra reports the unassuming comedian and the preternaturally preserved bombshell were spied together Thursday night at an L.A. steakhouse. The dinner date comes just a couple weeks after Spade and Locklear reportedly engaged in a very public round of tonsil hockey at another eatery. Still, a friend of the actress dismisses the romance chatter to People, explaining of the original buss stop, "Heather and David were just goofing off; the whole thing was blown out of proportion. They were joking around and hamming it up, and the next thing you know, people are saying they're together."

David Spade Pities Heather Locklear Over Rumored Romance
Comedian David Spade is laughing off reports he is dating sexy blonde actress Heather Locklear, and insists the two are just friends, according to an AP report.
When Locklear announced her split from guitarist Richie Sambora earlier this year, media reports had a field day linking the veteran hottie to the comedian. How did it all get started? Apparently, Locklear made the mistake of stopping by a Comedy Central party to wish him well as host of his new TV show, "The Showbiz Show".
Spade explains it like this: "My show had a party and she came by, and that turned into all this. She came by and sat next to me, which was nice of her." joked the comedian. "She is a pretty girl and sweet, but that turned into a little bit of a situation." "I feel bad for her, being connected with me. That's always a chink in the armor. But I'm not that bad of a deal. I've got a job, I'm ambitious!"

Heather Locklear's ex Richie Sambora Breaks His Shoulder
Guitarist Richie Sambora has had the type of an unfortunate accident that every guitarist fears. The hunky rocker and ex of Heather Locklear has suffered what is being described as a broken shoulder reports Star Magazine.

Richie was first spotted in public with his arm in a sling on March 24 when he met up with Heather, 44, at 8-year-old daughter Ava’s softball game in Thousand Oaks, Calif. “His fingers looked swollen.

Are Heather and Richie Back Together?
The whispering....the love taps.....so are RICHIE SAMBORA and soon-to-be ex-wife HEATHER LOCKLEAR on their way back to a reunion? It was just last week that ET obtained the musician's divorce papers filed in response to his wife's filing in early February, but after they were spotted together over the weekend, rumors of reconciliation have started to swirl.
The pair was seen together in Thousand Oaks, CA cheering on their 8-year-old daughter AVA ELIZABETH at her softball game. Heather and Richie, who was wearing a sling on his left arm, were not only seen walking together, but even talking. At one point, when she wasn't rooting on Ava, Heather approached Richie and gave him a few friendly taps on his backside (butt) and when the game was over, Heather gave Richie a kiss -- on the cheek -- goodbye.
Meanwhile, in Sambora's papers, filed in L.A. Superior Court on March 19, the rocker is seeking joint custody of the couple's young daughter. He also seeks to enforce their premarital agreement, which was dated Dec. 14, 1994, and would like to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support. Both stars cite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Watch tonight's ET for more of the rumored Sambora/Locklear reunion!

Are Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora mending fences?
Are superstar couple HEATHER LOCKLEAR and RICHIE SAMBORA reuniting? A new paparazzi video obtained by "The Insider" shows Heather kissing Richie on the cheek and chatting sociably with him at their daughter's softball game this past weekend. Heather even reaches over and gives Richie a few playful pats on the rump! Just last month the blonde star of "Boston Legal" and "Spin City" filed for divorce from her handsome rocker hubby, after allegedly discovering a racy e-mail sent to him by a female acquaintance. According to People, Heather found an e-mail sent to Richie by a woman the couple knows containing "provocative pictures." While a close friend of the pair tells the magazine that the woman had long been "a sore subject," Heather, 44, never suspected she and Richie had been "romantic." The e-mail, however, has reportedly left her "absolutely devastated." But, according to the source, Richie is equally upset: "Richie's saying nothing ever happened, that he never asked for the pictures." Richie was reportedly shellshocked by the filing, which occurred while he was on tour with supergroup BON JOVI. When surprised by the news during an interview with ABC News Radio, he said it was "completely untrue."
The two have been married for 11 years and, at Ava's softball game in Thousand Oaks, CA, this past weekend, they seemed to be on the mend. Richie, 46, was also seen wearing a sling on his left arm after breaking his arm at home last week, his rep said. However, he'll still perform when Bon Jovi begins the Japanese stadium leg of their "Have A Nice Day" World Tour on April 8th.

Are Heather and Richie Back Together?
The whispering....the love taps.....so are RICHIE SAMBORA and soon-to-be ex-wife HEATHER LOCKLEAR on their way back to a reunion? It was just last week that ET obtained the musician's divorce papers filed in response to his wife's filing in early February, but after they were spotted together over the weekend, rumors of reconciliation have started to swirl.
The pair was seen together in Thousand Oaks, CA cheering on their 8-year-old daughter AVA ELIZABETH at her softball game. Heather and Richie, who was wearing a sling on his left arm, were not only seen walking together, but even talking. At one point, when she wasn't rooting on Ava, Heather approached Richie and gave him a few friendly taps on his backside (butt) and when the game was over, Heather gave Richie a kiss -- on the cheek -- goodbye.
Meanwhile, in Sambora's papers, filed in L.A. Superior Court on March 19, the rocker is seeking joint custody of the couple's young daughter. He also seeks to enforce their premarital agreement, which was dated Dec. 14, 1994, and would like to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support. Both stars cite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Watch tonight's ET for more of the rumored Sambora/Locklear reunion!

Are Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora mending fences?
Are superstar couple HEATHER LOCKLEAR and RICHIE SAMBORA reuniting? A new paparazzi video obtained by "The Insider" shows Heather kissing Richie on the cheek and chatting sociably with him at their daughter's softball game this past weekend. Heather even reaches over and gives Richie a few playful pats on the rump! Just last month the blonde star of "Boston Legal" and "Spin City" filed for divorce from her handsome rocker hubby, after allegedly discovering a racy e-mail sent to him by a female acquaintance. According to People, Heather found an e-mail sent to Richie by a woman the couple knows containing "provocative pictures." While a close friend of the pair tells the magazine that the woman had long been "a sore subject," Heather, 44, never suspected she and Richie had been "romantic." The e-mail, however, has reportedly left her "absolutely devastated." But, according to the source, Richie is equally upset: "Richie's saying nothing ever happened, that he never asked for the pictures." Richie was reportedly shellshocked by the filing, which occurred while he was on tour with supergroup BON JOVI. When surprised by the news during an interview with ABC News Radio, he said it was "completely untrue."
The two have been married for 11 years and, at Ava's softball game in Thousand Oaks, CA, this past weekend, they seemed to be on the mend. Richie, 46, was also seen wearing a sling on his left arm after breaking his arm at home last week, his rep said. However, he'll still perform when Bon Jovi begins the Japanese stadium leg of their "Have A Nice Day" World Tour on April 8th.
