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.

Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner have been ordered to appear at an informal hearing to determine whether they will be charged for criminal battery after a violent fight they had in late December.

Cops were called to Wagner’s San Fernando Valley home last month after a heated argument between the formerly engaged pair allegedly turned physical, a spokesman for the L.A. City Attorney’s office confirms to Gossip Cop.

Police say that during the incident, ”She lost it on him and he retaliated.”

Neither of the “Melrose Place” alums wanted to press charges when law enforcement officials arrived on the scene, but the case was still sent over to the L.A. City Attorney for review.

Locklear and Wagner now must appear at an hearing in late January during which prosecutors will decide if either or both of them will be charged for the scuffle.

The actress was rushed to the hospital last week after she allegedly took a combination of alcohol and prescription pills.

Heather Locklear has been discharged from the hospital one day after her medical emergency.

The actress was released into her family’s care around 8 p.m., a spokesperson for Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center said.

Locklear had been taken to the hospital by ambulance on Thursday after her sister dialed 911.

Earlier Friday, the hospital rep said the former “Melrose Place” star was “agitated” upon arriving to the emergency room and “was not speaking in coherent terms and so we needed to address that.”

Now, Locklear is “doing really well and very good,” says the rep, adding it “was not a suicide attempt.”

Reports, still unconfirmed, Locklear allegedly took a combination of alcohol and prescription pills.

She did a 30-day stay in rehab for drugs in 2010.

Heather Locklear remains hospitalized in Los Angeles, but is in “stable” condition following a Thursday medical emergency.

Her parents have issued an encouraging statement through Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center.

“She is in no danger, and she’s going to be just fine,” say Bill and Diane Locklear.

Officials have yet to confirm the nature of Locklear’s ailment or treatment, only saying that she’s currently “medically stable” and it “was not a suicide attempt.”

It’s not known when she’ll be discharged.

The former “Melrose Place” star was rushed to the hospital after her sister paced a 911 call on Thursday.

Unconfirmed reports say Locklear had allegedly ingested a combination of alcohol and prescription pills.

She had a 30-day stint in rehab for drugs back in 2010.

Gossip Cop will have updates.

Heather Locklear was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after her sister placed a 911 call, Gossip Cop confirms.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department tells us that at 1:47 pm they “responded to a medical emergency” at Locklear’s home, and that an ambulance transported her to the hospital where she remains.

Sources say Locklear allegedly took a combination of alcohol and prescription pills, and that hospital personnel are handling the “medical emergency.”

We have yet to fully confirm what she ingested.

The former “Melrose Place” star, who split from fiance Jack Wagner in November, spent time in rehab in 2010 for a problem with prescription drugs.

Two years earlier, police responded to a call from Locklear’s doctor, who feared for her safety. She was later treated for depression and anxiety.

Gossip Cop has reached out to her rep for more information.

In a piece on Monday about Wendy Williams and the success of her daytime talk show, the New York Post notes that Heather Locklear is her “most wanted guest.”

Understandable.

But then the paper says Williams “would love” to have the TV star because she “particularly relates to Locklear since they’re around the same age and went through the heartbreak of miscarriage during the same time.”

What?!

We don’t recall that.

And a rep for Locklear confirmed, “Heather never had a miscarriage.”

Still, we’re sure the “Melrose Place” alum would make an excellent guest.

Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner have called off their wedding, Gossip Cop confirms.

A rep for the actress tells us, “They are no longer engaged.”

Locklear was not wearing her engagement ring Monday night at the Breaking Dawn premiere in L.A.

The former “Melrose Place” co-stars began dating in 2007, shortly after Locklear finalized her divorce from Richie Sambora.

They got engaged in August.

We’ll update when we get more information.

Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner are in a “marriage showdown,” claims the National Enquirer, with Locklear “angrily threatening to call off the wedding” because Wagner allegedly wants to turn the nuptials into a reality show.

“Jack is a big fan of reality TV and has noticed how celebrities have been cashing in by letting camera crews into their homes,” a so-called “friend” tells the tabloid, adding that Wagner “asked Heather to star in a show following their joys and troubles in the run-up to their big day next summer.”

But Locklear is so opposed to the intrusive idea, the “friend” says to the Enquirer, she’ll “pull the plug on their wedding” if Wagner insists on doing a show.

An interesting story, but not tied to any kind of “reality.”

A rep for Locklear assures Gossip Cop the Enquirer piece is “ridiculous,” adding it’s “not true” that there have been discussions of turning the couple’s wedding into a show.

Heather Locklear has reportedly just finished an under-the-radar stint in rehab for prescription drugs.

Locklear did a 30-day in-patient program, but it had nothing to do with her arrest in April for hit-and-run, according to TMZ.

Heather Locklear will not face charges for allegedly crashing into a No Parking sign, and leaving the scene a little more than a month ago. 

On April 17, Locklear was arrested – though not taken into custody – after an inspection of her black 2005 BMW showed damage consistent with the accident.

Ultimately, though, Ventura County’s District Attorney said today, “Insufficient evidence exists to establish who the driver of the vehicle was at the time of the collision. As a result, no criminal charges will be filed.”

Heather Locklear was arrested for a hit-and-run incident, Gossip Cop can confirm.

A crash occurred near North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, CA at about 4:00 AM on Saturday, but the man who heard the collision didn’t call law enforcement officials until 7:48 PM that evening.

Captain Ross Bonfiglio of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department tells Gossip Cop deputies on the scene found a knocked over “No Parking” sign and other evidence that a car had jumped the curb.

A subsequent investigation led officers to Locklear, who lives nearby.

Upon inspection of her black 2005 BMW, which showed damage consistent with the accident, Locklear was arrested. Her offense is a misdemeanor, and she was cited and released rather than brought into custody.

Locklear has a court appearance on May 17.

While Capt. Bonfiglio wouldn’t discuss the strength of the case, Gossip Cop has heard Locklear’s 2008 DUI arrest could play a role.

“Heather Locklear Breaks It Off With Jack Wagner,” claims Perez Hilton, who has cornered the market in “late” and “wrong.”

The blogger says Locklear “called it quits with boyfriend and former Melrose Place co-star Jack Wagner, realizing the relationship was taking away time with her daughter Ava,” whom she had with Richie Sambora.

Uh, huh…

Perez even quotes a so-called “insider,” who explains, “Heather felt like she had been spending so much time with Jack, that it was affecting her child… So Heather told Jack she wants space.”

Sound familiar?

It should.

Gossip Cop busted this bad dish FOUR days ago.

And it was as wrong then as it is now.

A rep for the actress told Gossip Cop talk of a split is “not true.”

Sometimes In Touch Weekly really loves to drive a wedge into relationships.

So Gossip Cop was more than a little bit skeptical when the tab wrote that the longtime romance between Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner “may be over.”

Citing a “pal,” In Touch claims Locklear “realized that the relationship was taking her focus away from her daughter, Ava,” whom she had with ex-husband Richie Sambora. The so-called “insider” tells the mag Locklear “felt like she had been spending so much time with Jack, that it was affecting her child… So Heather told Jack she wants space.”

The real “space” here is between In Touch and accuracy.

Locklear and Wagner are still very much together. A rep for the actress tells Gossip Cop the tab’s item is “not true.”

Just days after the shocking revelation that Jesse James allegedly cheated on his Oscar trophy-winning wife Sandra Bullock with inked-up mistress Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, TMZ is reporting that Bullock’s “reps have been in touch with several high-end divorce lawyers.”

According to the site, the “frontrunner” to represent Bullock is legal eagle Lance Spiegel, who has handled splits for Heather Locklear, Michael Jackson, and Charlie Sheen.

As for James, at this point his people have only reached out to attorneys to see if they might be willing to represent him should Bullock file for divorce, reports TMZ.

And while a permanent split may happen in the future, as of now Bullock’s camp has yet to approach divorce attorneys. In fact, a rep for Bullock tells Gossip Cop that TMZ’s report is “completely false.”

As always, Gossip Cop will continue to monitor the situation.

In the meantime, do you think there’s room for reconciliation or should James just hit the road?

Maybe this is why Perez Hilton blocked Gossip Cop on Twitter?

Perez just pulled off one of his patented late-and-wrong combos, posting an item that repeats the rumor Heather Locklear had Ashlee Simpson-Wentz fired from “Melrose Place.”

Of course, Gossip Cop busted this nonsense early yesterday morning, and revealed – thanks to show insiders – that Locklear had NOTHING to do with Simpson-Wentz’s departure.

It’s noteworthy, though, that “Scoop” Hilton seems to be evolving as a cut-and-paste artist! He now more frequently attributes his bad tips to their original sources, in this case citing the facts-challenged Star article that spoon fed him this bad dish.

Like a Dream Team of Sloppy Speculation, Perez and Star keep fueling wrong rumors.

Gossip Cop will keep fighting for facts.

Amazing! It took four Star magazine reporters to come up with a single page of text, and still it’s so riddled with inaccuracies that it seems more a work of fiction than an article.

In a piece titled, “Ashlee Forced Out! By Heather,” the Star claims, “Heather Locklear was gunning for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz from the moment she set foot on the Melrose Place set. Now Ash is history – and the prime-time diva couldn’t be more thrilled!”

According to a so-called “source,” Locklear “was jealous of Ashlee immediately… She knew Ashlee was one of the bigger names on the set, and she wanted her gone so she could make it her show. Heather is very political and calculating.” Adds the “source” in what is clearly a made-up quote about Locklear: “For a sunshiny California girl, she sure has ice running through her veins.”

The cutting dialogue, the intrigue… this fabricated story is almost as dramatic as an episode of “Melrose Place.”

The article also goes way off base when it states how Simpson-Wentz and her onscreen love interest Colin Egglesfield were informed their characters were off the show: “Producers told them by e-mail they were being let go!”

Well, Gossip Cop spoke to sources involved in the production, and here is what we learned. For starters, Star violated Journalism 101, says a source, who related that the magazine “never called to fact-check.”

Had Star done the basics, the magazine would have found out what Gossip Cop did which, according to a highly placed source, is that their story is “100 percent not true.” That same impeccable insider said, “Ashlee is a total pro, and Heather is a total pro,” but emphatically stressed, that Simpson-Wentz’s departure had “nothing to do with Heather, but was part of the original plan [for her character].”

Additionally, that whole thing about her finding out she was gone via e-mail… the insider said that, too, was “completely false,” and told Gossip Cop she was personally informed by producers.

Gossip Cop has said it before and we’ll say it again: We think we’re developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from having to repeatedly type the words “Star magazine” and “not true.”

Heather Locklear is bringing Amanda Woodward back to “Melrose Place.”

After helping to rescue the original series in the 1990s, Locklear’s conniving Woodward will make her debut on the new version of “Melrose Place” on November 17. In a statement released today, the show’s producers said, “We are ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to ‘Melrose Place,’” adding, “Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion.”

The CW, which airs the show, did not note how many episodes the star will appear in.

Gossip Cop reported back in August that Locklear’s return was likely. She joins Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, Josie Bissett, and other original cast members who have returned for the new series.

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.

New stars like Ashlee Simpson-Wentz mingled with returning stars like Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga at the premiere party for “Melrose Place,” debuting this fall on the CW.

Gossip Cop is looking into persistent rumors that Heather Locklear might also sign on to the new series.
