Locklear gets Locked Up and David Spade Sort of Cares...


Hollywood is all about the good, the bad, and the ugly... in this case it is all just ugly and a little bit bad, too. Last week, former Hollywood sweetheart and good girl Heather Locklear was arrested for DUI.


(For any celebrities reading this blog, DUI means "Driving Under Influence" and it's very very bad and dangerous. You receive this charge when you drink and drive... so hire a driver, please. Sentences for DUI can last up to 4 hours so beware...)


Anyways, I find myself disturbed by this new criminal development. Granted, Locklear is not the most widely followed celebrity, but she is at least semi-talented. She has been nominated for 6 Golden Globe awards and has quite the resume with roles in television shows like Melrose Place, Spin City, Rules of Engagement, and the all-too-famous Hannah Montana. She has also been in films such as Uptown Girls and Sydney White. She never rose to the top of the A-list but she never really dropped to the lower lists, either. It's really a shame that she had to go and drive drunk... it's even worse that we now know she is more than likely running low on the cash since she obviously did not have a driver. Tisk, tisk... We all should of seen this coming when she entered a treatment facility for depression in July. One thing leads to another.


Another great part to this celebrity downfall is the fact that People Magazine wrote an article about how Locklear's old beau, David Spade, cared so deeply about her DUI crisis that he texted her to make sure she is okay.... really? You care enough about her to TEXT her? Why not visit her or call her or even e-mail her for goodness sake. Texting says one thing: "I want to make sure you're okay but you are not worth the time or energy to call." Spade, of course added in this short interview that things were "blown out of proportion" as she is "solid and always a great person." I guess she is just not "solid" enough to call or visit, whatever that means.


I honestly hope Heather Locklear finds whatever she is looking for in life, as long as that something isn't a beer or some liquor. She clearly doesn't need to be drinking anytime soon, but I'm sure she will be treated soon for alcoholism and other ailments. There is always hope in Hollywood and it's called REHAB!
