Heather Locklear has reportedly opted not to enter rehab following her recent hospitalization.

Instead, the former “Melrose Place” star is said to be participating in an outpatient treatment program.

Locklear had reportedly started the sobriety program last year, but stopped going following her split from fiance Jack Wagner.

Now, in addition to re-joining, the actress will also undergo monthly drug tests and receive additional support from the UCLA medical center, according to “Good Morning America.”

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Locklear was hospitalized earlier this month after her sister placed a 911 call.

She was released on January 13 and is said to be “doing really well.”

Gossip Cop has reached out to reps for confirmation on the treatment report.

Kris Humphries is rumored to be “livid” over the Kim Kardashian questions in his “Good Morning America” interview on Friday – but the controversy looks to be mostly embellished.

TMZ claims Humphries is “telling people he felt ambushed” during the sit-down, when he addressed his very public split from Kardashian during a joint appearance with his mother, Debra.

Humphries “knew he would be asked about the divorce… but he didn’t expect to be grilled like a cheeseburger,” explains the site, adding that the NBA player appeared “VERY uncomfortable as he’s hit with question after question about Kim.”

But watching the interview, it seems like Humphries was anything but blindsided by the Kardashian questions.

He was about as thrilled as anyone would be to discuss a pending, ugly divorce, and handled the interview pretty well.

We’re told he was perfectly fine with how it went down, and as his rep asks Gossip Cop, “Why would he be livid?”

He sure didn’t seem “livid” with ABC while baking cookies after his interview.

Like most guys going through a rough breakup, Kris Humphries calms himself by baking holiday cookies with his mother on national television.

The former Mr. Kim Kardashian and doting mom Debra Humphries appeared on “Good Morning America” on Friday to talk about what the future holds, and then whipped up a batch of chocolate chip butter cookies!

Because… why not?

If nothing else, there’s nostalgia in watching Humphries look like he’d rather be anywhere else while getting himself into a sticky mess on TV.

Kris Humphries appeared for his first TV interview on network television since his split from Kim Kardashian after 72 days of marriage, and he opened up about their breakup.

Humphries, who was on “Good Morning America” on Friday with his mother Debra, deflected most questions about his and Kardashian’s failed union, but said he’s “moving forward” and “focused on basketball.”

A free agent, Humphries is waiting to hear whether he’s been picked up by a NBA team.

When asked how he’s doing post-split, Humphries said, “Certain things happen in life, and you have to move forward.”

“I’m focused on basketball… Other things will take care of itself,” he noted.

Humhpries’ mom, who was on to do a cooking segment with her son and to discuss their foundation to fight child obesity, noted that after Kardashian filed for divorce, “The important thing is to stay close as family through the ups and downs that come, and it’s our fath in God that carries us through all of these times.”

She added, “We try to focus on being thankful… We’re not trying to look back.”

As the segment concluded, Humphries responded to a question about whether he still loves Kardashian: “I’m focused on just what I can control, which is ready to play ball.”

He also said what he’d like the public to know about him is that “I love to give back. I’m a fun guy. I don’t play into the gossip.”

Sgt. Scott Moore, who took Mila Kunis as his date to the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina on Friday, appeared on “Good Morning America” to discuss their highly-publicized night out together.

“It was a blast, it was a great time,” said Moore. “It exceeded my expectations.”

The marine told Robin Roberts that he originally asked Kunis out on YouTube because he’d seen a couple of her movies, thought she’d be fun, and “she’s obviously a pretty girl.”

He said he was surprised by how “down to earth” the actress was in person, saying she was “very interested to learn about [the Marines'] history and traditions.”

Moore wasn’t sure Kunis would take him up on his initial offer, but thought he had nothing to lose and “it worked out for me.”

“We danced a little bit,” he says, describing the evening as “very memorable.”

While there was no goodnight kiss, Moore and Kunis “promised to keep in touch.”

Kris Jenner, who was on “Good Morning America” to promote her new memoir, “Kris Jenner and all Things Kardashian,” naturally talked about the book after first discussing Kim Kardashian and her decision to end her marriage to Kris Humphries.

Jenner said, “It was a decision she came to after a lot of heartache,” noting that for a long time Kim’s ”dream [was] to get married and have babies, and raise a family — that’s all she’s ever wanted.”

The famous family’s matriarch couldn’t pinpoint when her daughter realized her marriage was over, but did say, “Kim hasn’t been the Kim I know… She seemed worried, not her happy self.”

“I want Kim back….  I want her to be happy,” added Jenner, implying that Humphries was not the answer.

As for the infamous 20.5-carat diamond engagement ring that Humphries gave Kardashian, don’t count on the reality star returning the under $1 million bauble.

Jenner said, “I hate an Indian giver. It’s a gift. You keep a gift.”

From a legal standpoint, the ring 100 percent belongs to Kardashian.

Still, should she keep it or return it?

For the critics, Bono’s message is simple.

“I’m just a regular guy,” he says. “All these ideas that children shouldn’t watch me, [that] I’m going to be confusing, all this stuff… it’s crazy.”

Bono will be paired with dancing pro Lacey Schwimmer when “DWTS” premieres on September 19.

It’s not the first time Blondeau has been photographed in such a manner, but the sexualized Vogue layout is sparking intense debate, and comes amid a spate of “how young is too young” stories, including the “retirement” of 6-year-old beauty queen Eden Wood and the marriage of 16-year-old singer Courtney Stodden to a 51-year-old actor.

Petra Ecclestone may not be well known to Americans, but she could be a household name pretty soon.

Last month, the British daughter of billionaire Bernie Ecclestone purchased Candy Spelling‘s Los Angeles mansion, at one point considered the most expensive private residence in the U.S.

The 22-year-old Ecclestone dropped a reported $85 million on the house, despite already owning a $90 million mansion in London.

The young, blonde, wealthy non-Hilton gave an interview to “Good Morning America” today, and explained her real estate acquisition.

She sees the purchase as a good “investment” for her future in Los Angeles, where the philanthropist/socialite/aspiring handbag designer might wind up becoming a tabloid fixture.

“I’m not spoiled. I’m privileged and I think there’s a huge difference in that,” explains Ecclestone. “I’ve very humble and fortunate and grateful for everything that my parents were able to achieve and how hard they’ve worked.”

Uncomfortable with the conversation’s direction, Hilton can be seen looking off-camera and then bolts.

“What followed was a long and heated conversation with Hilton and her publicist,” explains Harris in a voice-over.

Eventually, Hilton recovered enough to show off her massive doghouse, which is a replica of her own mansion.

Mismatched lovebirds Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden appeared on “Good Morning America” today to discuss their controversial marriage (he’s 51, and she’s 16).

The couple describe how their first (professional) contact blossomed into an online courtship.

When they first met online, Hutchison thought the, um, mature-looking Stodden was in her twenties. Upon finding out she was 16, he says, “It didn’t make me want to walk away, but it definitely was a struggle inside my heart… because I had already started falling for her.”

Hutchison eventually flew up to meet Stodden and her family, and wound up proposing.

Stodden’s mother was the one who first pointed out that it was possible for them to marry despite her daughter’s age.

And that’s what they did.

Hutchison says the criticism he’s seen online has been tough, but “if [people] need to feel this way… it’s OK. I’ve been called worse than a pedophile in my life.”

“Chris Brown Unleashes Anti-Gay Rant At A Pick-up Hoops Game,” reads the headline of a story on RadarOnline via its sister company Star magazine.

According to the Star/RadarOnline report, “Brown shouted anti-gay slurs during a recent pickup basketball game, stunning and repulsing onlookers.”

The outlets state that “on June 29, the R&B singer turned up at a 24 Hour Fitness center in Los Angeles and joined a casual pickup game. But things quickly turned ugly.”

A so-called “eyewitness” says, “He got really ticked off when things didn’t go his way during the game, saying, ‘That’s gay!’ and ‘You’re a f*gg*t a**!’ to the other players.”

Accompanied by photos of Brown playing hoops, the RadarOnline/Star story says “when another player didn’t pass him the ball,” Brown then “fired off more slurs, calling him a ‘f*gg*t’ and saying  it was a ‘gay’ move.”

While there’s no denying some of Brown’s previous behavior has been completely objectionable — be it his attack on Rihanna or his explosive response to a “Good Morning America” interview — in this particular case, Brown did not use any gay slurs on the basketball court.

For one, the “Exclusive” pictures that RadarOnline uses to illustrate its point about the rapper playing hoops are actually photos that were taken in New York, long before this alleged incident.

More importantly, Gossip Cop has learned that Brown was in a studio in Hollywood on June 29, working on the video for the song, “Body to Body” — and did not play basketball that day.

Brown referred to the Star/RadarOnline report, by writing on Twitter, “Believing everything the media says only makes us stupid as a society.”

Gossip Cop reached out to the editor of both RadarOnline and Star to see if they stand by their story, but has yet to receive a response.

We’re told Brown’s camp is considering legal action.

Again, there’s no place in society for homophobic remarks, but before slam dunking Brown, there’s no evidence this time he committed a foul.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

9:02 p.m.

Brown’s rep has now released the following: “A totally fictitious article ran in the current Star Magazine (issue date July 25, 2011) accusing our client Chris Brown of doing something that he did not do.  The article claimed that on June 29, 2011, Chris participated in a pick up basketball game at 24 Hour Fitness Center in LA and said some very inappropriate statements. The incident described did not occur, nor did the Star ever contact Chris’ representatives to request comment or confirmation. Chris was filming a video with AceHood on June 29 and never left the set.  He spent the entire day with dozens of members of the production team filming the video for “Body To Body” at 1870 Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood.  The Star accompanied the fabricated story with a photo of Chris playing basketball in New York that was taken on the day of his F.A.M.E. CD release in March. Chris Brown’s management is considering taking appropriate legal action against the paper. Unfortunately this bogus account is being picked up by additional media outlets. We stand behind our client and want to set the record straight that this did not happen.”

Eden Wood, a six-year-old beauty queen on “Toddlers and Tiaras,” has decided to retire.

The pint-sized pageant veteran won 300 times during her short career on the circuit, and will now turn her attention to endeavors including her music and her memoir.

Seriously.

Wood, who aspires to be a “superstar,” was featured on “Good Morning America.”

“I think she’s following in the footsteps of some pretty big people who have done pageants like Oprah Winfrey,” says Wood’s mom Mickie. “As long as she enjoys what we’re doing and what she’s doing, mama’s gonna keep doing it.”

“If it leads to the Miley Cyrus status or the Selena Gomez or whoever, so be it. If it doesn’t, that’s fine, too. Why not see if we can’t have a Hollywood contract? A reality show? A spot on a Disney program? Why not? It’s the American Dream. It’s almost like her destiny.”
