Heather Locklear Is Probably Worried About HDTV Making Her Look Old

Joseph Gibson — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 17:03:31 +0000

Actress Heather Locklear has had a long and illustrious relationship with the good ol’ Idiot Box (no, I’m not talking about Charlie Sheen). But she hasn’t been on a regular TV series for a while – which is why it might be exciting to all you Locklear fans out there that she’s coming back to TV for a pilot on, of course, CBS. The show is called “The Assistants,” and here’s a plot synopsis:

“[Locklear will] play a reckless, unstable actress prone to terrorizing her hired help. They’re willing to put up with the bad treatment in the name of making connections for their own careers.”

That premise sounds like a “Larry Sanders” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm“-style sitcom, but it’s not clear from the article whether it will be a sitcom or a more dramatic series. If I had to guess I’d say the former, but luckily for everyone I don’t have to guess. If it gets picked up it will be on CBS, so it will probably be terrible anyway. (via CinemaBlend)

Charlie Sheen Replacement List: Who Is Sheen’s Next Twitter Target?

Wow, it hasn’t been that long, but already I’m sick of Charlie Sheen. So let’s talk about a few other actors who have a chance at “winning” a lead in the most successful sitcom on TV, now that Sheen’s been sacked. Of course, it’s likely that audiences will tune away from “Two and a Half Men” without Sheen, but with so much money at stake, who can blame Warner Bros and CBS for trying to keep a terrible show alive by making it worse?

According to rumors, producer Chuck Lorre‘s shortlist includes Rob Lowe, Jerry O’Connell, and the now infamous choice of John Stamos. I’d like to see Lowe stay on”Parks and Recreation,” so I hope Lorre takes Uncle Jesse or the guy from “Sliders.” Two other candidates are his own dad, Martin Sheen – I’d love to be a fly on the wall at that Thanksgiving dinner – and noted non-male Heather Locklear. That would obviously take the show in a different direction, in which 1 out of the 2 1/2 men had a vagina.

I’d like to offer up another suggestion: a shark. Every week, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones can jump over him. (Cinema Blend)
