Ever since Gossip Cop posted photos from the L.A. premiere party of “Melrose Place” a couple of days back, we’ve been receiving loads of questions about whether Heather Locklear will join other past cast members, including Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Daphne Zuniga and Josie Bissett, on the new show, which stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Jenna Dewan, among others.

Good news: Barring a major negotiation snag (like money), it should work out. A mutual friend of Locklear’s and Gossip Cop’s says, “She wants to do it. [The producers] want her to do it. They’re now just trying to work out a deal.”

Gossip Cop will let you know as soon as she signs on the dotted line.
