Heather Locklear Seeking Treatment for Depression
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again: poor Ava Sambora.
Just this past April, Ava’s father, Richie Sambora, received three years probation after a DUI incident a few months ago. Now the girl’s mother, Heather Locklear, is currently away in Arizona getting help for several issues.
The actress’ rep confirmed the news in a statement released today. “Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment.”
This announcement coincidentally comes not too long after paramedics visited the Melrose Place star’s home. Back in March, an acquaintance of Locklear’s - who was not in her residence at the time - believed the star might be suicidal and requested 911 assistance. (Heather later claimed that her friend simply overreacted.)
Well, regardless of whether she needed it then, we really hope that Locklear is getting the help she needs now.

Britney Spears Blames Medication for Weight Gain
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Rumors,
Although Britney Spears’ body has definitely seen better days, some have started speculating about her recent weight gain. Is the pop star really going to be a mother…again?
Well, despite what the tabloids would love to believe, Britney’s waistline is not the result of any pregnancy. (Who’d be the supposed father anyway? And where the heck has Adnan Ghalib gone?) According to the Daily Mail, the singer blames a new medication for her recent bloating.
As questionable as her decisions have been over the past few years, I’d like to believe her explanation is true. I highly doubt Spears would be stupid enough to openly smoke if she was knocked up. (Keep fingers crossed.)
