Beaming Heather Locklear, 63, shows off her smooth complexion as she collects pet dog Mister from the groomers after split from fiancé
Heather Locklear showed off her smooth visage as she stepped out in Calabasas on Wednesday following her reported recent split from fiancé Chris Heisser.
The American actress, 63, appeared to be in good spirits as she picked up her beloved pet pooch Mister from the groomers.
Heather looked relaxed in a black tank top which she teamed with flared Nike sports trousers and flip flops.
The Melrose Place star looked remarkably healthy after getting sober following an meltdown in 2018 that saw her arrested twice, placed on a psychiatric hold and her home declared a 'hazard' by local first responders.
Heather is understood to be single after splitting from fiancé of many years in May.
Heather and Chris, both 63, went to high school together in the 1970s and dated then. They reconnected in 2017 and got engaged in 2020 after a brief breakup in 2019.

'Heather and Chris are no longer together,' a source told Us Weekly. 'Heather is single and she's ready to date again.'
Another source added, 'She hasn't seen Chris since the New Year but wishes him all the best.'
Reportedly nothing dramatic happened between the two long time friends, they just drifted apart like many couples do, the insider claimed.
The last time he appeared on her Instagram page was in 2023.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Heather's representative for comment.
Us Weekly 's first source called the demise of their engagement a 'slow fizzle.'
'They are not spending as much time with each other. It's minimal, the source continued. 'She's focusing on herself. She is sober and doing really well.'
And the Melrose Place star is wasting any time moping around about the breakup.
'Heather's main focus is her sobriety, gardening, cooking, and spending quality time with her daughter Ava and her friends,' the source shared.
The timing of the TJ Hooker actress' breakup is interesting because her ex-husband Tommy Lee also just split from his wife, Brittany Furlan.
Heather was playing Sammy Jo on the wildly popular nighttime drama Dynasty, while Tommy was the drummer for one of the hottest bands of the 1980s, Mötley Crüe.
They met at an REO Speedwagon concert in the 1980s, and when Tommy spotted Heather in the crowd, he was smitten.
'He took her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Tommy, nice to touch you." He got her phone number from his accountant's brother, a dentist who knew Locklear's dentist,' Rolling Stone reported.
'But the first time he called her up, he almost blew it. He told her, "Hey, check it out, you're on channel 2."'
Locklear pointed out that it wasn't her on channel 2 – it was Heather Thomas, an actress she is frequently mistaken for.
They had a whirlwind relationship and got engaged just a few months into their relationship when Heather popped the question to Tommy.
They got married on May 10, 1986, at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara. They split in 1993 reportedly due to Tommy's infidelity.
Heather went on to marry Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora while Tommy moved on with Pamela Anderson.
In an interesting turn of events, Tommy, 62, recently split with his wife Brittany Furlan, 38.
Sources close to Lee and Furla, told TMZ Thursday that the heavy metal staple and comic/influencer have not lived together the past two weeks.
Furlan is unhappy with the Mötley Crüe member's drinking and has made numerous attempts to try to guide him to sobriety to no avail, insiders told the outlet.
Other indicators surfaced via social media, as Lee posted a clip Thursday in which he said he was in the studio, creating a new track titled Stupid Girl. He captioned the post: 'Everything has its place and time and this one hits it right on the head Stupid girl!'

Sources told TMZ it was 'unclear' if a divorce filing was in the near future, Lee also unfollowed Furlan on Instagram.
The two initially met in 2017, got engaged the next year, and got married the year after that, in 2019.

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade reveals his secret 'struggle'
Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade McClintock, revealed that her father privately struggled with raising his children in the spotlight. Just two months after welcoming her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, with husband Evan McClintock, the influencer, 29, opened up about relating to her dad more than ever. 'Having been in the spotlight for so long, I've learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,' the Just a Little Shady podcast host told People. She continued: 'Over time, I've come to understand the struggle my father faced — wanting to protect our privacy while also feeling proud and wanting to celebrate his kids.' As a parent herself now, the Michigan State College graduate explained she has mixed feelings about exposing her child to fame. 'I feel the same way now,' Hailie said. 'I want to share the proud, joyful moments that mean a lot to me, especially as a parent, but I'm also intentional about keeping certain parts of our lives just for us.' For now, she's working on 'about finding that balance between openness and privacy' and her career as a content creator. 'That balance has become even more important to me as I navigate parenthood,' she stressed. Hailie is one of three of Eminem's adult children, who he shares with ex-wife, Kim Scott. The former couple also share Alaina Marie Scott, 32, and Stevie Laine Scott, 23. On March 14, 2025, Hailie welcomed her little boy, a year after walking down the aisle. Hailie announced she was expecting in her dad's music video for Temporary (feat. Skylar Grey), which included footage of him walking her down the aisle and the moment she told him of his pregnancy. Toward the end of the video, Hailie could be seen gifting her father a Detroit Lions jersey, which had 'Grandpa' written across the back as well as an ultrasound picture of her baby-to-be. As he processed the news, the 15-time Grammy winner looked shocked as he did a double take of the ultrasound image as Hailie giggled by his side. 'Having been in the spotlight for so long, I've learned the importance of balancing what I share publicly with what I keep private,' the Just a Little Shady podcast host told People The exciting update came just five months after Scott and McClintock tied the knot in Battle Creek, Michigan. They invited close friends and family to watch them exchange vows in a 'modestly sized' ceremony held at the Greencrest Manor, according to TMZ. For her big day, Hailie wore a gorgeous white wedding dress complete with romantic tulle skirt with sheer veil topping off her elegant hairstyle. Hailie and Evans have been dating since 2016 and became engaged in February 2023. Hailie works as an influencer. She grew up in Detroit with dad Eminem - real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III - and mom Kim Scott. She studied at Chippewa Valley High School (2014) and Michigan State University. Hailie studied psychology at Michigan State University. In August, Hailie admitted on her podcast Just A Little Shady that her father's tracks, Temporary and Somebody Save Me, make her 'cry every time' she hears them. In Somebody Save Me, Eminem raps: 'Sorry that I chose drugs and put 'em above you / Sorry that I didn't love you enough to give 'em up.' In the video, footage from Hailie's childhood with her siblings flash by as Eminem watches them. Eminem raps: 'Hailey, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for your first guitar recital,' he raps as she's shown playing a pink acoustic guitar as a teen. In the song lyrics, he also shares his regrets about not walking her 'down the aisle' when she got married and missing the birth of her first child, which are things he would have missed had he died during his 2007 overdose. Eminem, who battled prescription pill addiction in the past, has been sober for 16 years. She continued, 'Between that and Temporary, I mean, I can't. I audibly sobbed I think for both songs but especially Temporary. The Slim Shady artist dedicated Temporary to his daughter and addresses his eventual death in the song and urges her to move on from it and be happy.

Did The Simpsons really just kill off a major character?
The Simpsons is getting experimental in its old age. With 36 seasons complete and a renewal through a 40th secured, the show has entered territory previously occupied mostly by non-prime-time stalwarts like Saturday Night Live and Meet the Press – television institutions that run for much longer than the typical sitcom or drama. Perhaps conscious that the animated comedy has now lasted five to 10 times longer than a normal sitcom, the 36th season has repeatedly toyed with the idea of what a series finale might look like, even though no such thing is anywhere in sight. For the season's premiere back in the fall, it created a fake series finale, hosted by Conan O'Brien, that featured forever-10-year-old Bart turning 11 and reacting badly to a number of finale-style abrupt changes to the status quo. And in the last episode of season 36, Estranger Things, the show flashed forward to a future where family matriarch Marge has passed away and a gradual estrangement has developed between now-adult Bart and Lisa. (Homer remains alive, with the show repeatedly underlining how unlikely it seems that he would outlive his patient, cautious and seemingly healthy spouse.) As fans caught up with the season on streaming, the finale has created a mild headline-generating controversy over whether Marge is 'really' dead, most likely among less consistent viewers who might dip back in occasionally (or get their news about the show from the internet, rather than watching it). Of course, she's not; Estranger Things is one of many flash-forward episodes the show has done over the years, generally understood to be alternate versions of the future, not pieces of a vast and interconnected timeline. The show's flashbacks are similarly intentionally contradictory; early on, Marge and Homer were young parents in the 1980s; as the show got older and they stayed the same age, subsequent flashbacks were brought further and further into the timeline. None of this makes headline news, even on a slow entertainment day. But one reason 'Marge is dead' has seemingly caught fire as an internet curiosity may have to do with the unexpectedly mortality creeping in around the edge of the show. Anyone who has watched The Simpsons in recent years, especially if they've seen a new episode juxtaposed with an older one, would have to take note of how different the characters sound. Animation may be able to preserve a character's basic look and inure them from ageing (apart from the shifts in animation technique that present subtle changes in design or movement). Animation still can't defeat, however, what the show once called the ravages of time. The Simpsons has employed a core of voice actors for nearly four decades, and who among us sound precisely the same as we did 40 years ago, if we're so lucky to have that comparison point? Marge is the character where this is most noticeable – more so than characters whose voices have been replaced by new actors for reasons of racial sensitivity. (This just means that Black actors now play Black characters, and so on.) Those newer performers bring their own style to the character, however subtle the change. But Julie Kavner, the distinctive actor who has given one of the great long-term voiceover performances of TV history, turns 75 this year, while Marge is forever on the cusp of 40. Certain line readings will sound very close to the 'original' Marge voice. More often, though, we're getting a raspier, scratchier version that sounds more like Marge's occasionally seen mother (also voiced by Kavner in a more whispery register). Harry Shearer, who voices more than a dozen major supporting characters including Mr Burns, Principal Skinner and Ned Flanders, also sounds deeper and older in recent years. That's all on top of the show's creative changes – some of which have been quite good. Under showrunner Matt Selman, the show has upped its game in recent years, actively pursuing more ambitious, format-challenging and emotionally resonant stories. Not all of them are golden-years-level funny. (Few episodes of anything are.) But the creators feel engaged with their institution, and sometimes they've even taken advantage of the modified vocals; in one recent holiday episode, Ned Flanders sounded genuinely grief-stricken in part due to Shearer's inability to hit the higher range of his usual tone. Even when the actors' changes do sound jarring, obviously it's not anyone's fault. People age – and IP, at least lately, seems to insist on defying that process, creating a difficult-to-resolve conflict. The show obviously isn't ever going to permanently kill off any of the family members, but at some point, they may be in the position of hiring someone new to voice Marge, or augmenting the performance with AI. The finale already introduced a new voice for Bart's best friend Milhouse, following the retirement of longtime voice artist Pamela Hayden. She reasonably concluded that continuing to play a 10-year-old boy well into her 70s wouldn't make much sense. Maybe that's why the most poignant element of Estranger Things isn't the death of Marge, which is handled lightly, avoiding the immediate devastation of grief with just a brief cursory shot of her funeral, and ending the episode with a short scene of her happily looking down upon her family from heaven, where she clinches with longtime crush Ringo Starr. Rather, the emotional core of the episode is the sequence in which Bart and Lisa abruptly grow out of their beloved Itchy and Scratchy cartoons after realizing the show is now also marketed toward babies, with cutesy versions of the characters adorning little sister Maggie's pyjamas. In true Simpsons fashion, this is also the funniest passage of the episode, with spot-on observations about marketing, kids' shifting tastes in popular culture and defensiveness about liking stuff that's for 'babies', complete with a spoof of a memorably emotional scene from Toy Story 2. Despite the show's jokes, the idea of the Bart/Lisa bond breaking over Itchy and Scratchy, and Marge's distress over it, is a potent one, maybe because it's precisely the kind of uncharacteristic change alluded to in the season premiere. The Simpsons has been lampshading its ability to reset its characters for decades at this point; that's the connective tissue between its heritage as a sitcom from another age, and as a cartoon across the ages. In Estranger Things, it's depicting a natural process less seismic but no less constant than death: letting go of once-beloved media and the real-world habits that accompany it. Plenty of fans will have the opportunity to let go of The Simpsons, whether by chance or by choice. The show itself, good as it sometimes is, can only play at that farewell process, experimenting with what-ifs typically subsumed into the status quo. I'm not personally eager for the show to end; my daughter still eagerly watches it, and that brought me back into the newer episodes. But there does seem to be a denial of impermanence, maybe even some frustration with that, under the show's surface. The real question isn't whether Marge Simpson will live on, but how long the show will keep contemplating endings it can't have.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have split: get ready for a pop comeback
Not so long ago, a meme went around that quickly solidified into the motto of a generation: 'If Britney Spears can make it through 2007, you can make it through this day.' After all, you might be experiencing a difficult moment, but at least you haven't cracked under the pressures of fame, shaved your head and attacked a car with an umbrella under the full glare of the world's media. It's a nice sentiment but, judging by recent events, it needs to be updated. After all, if Katy Perry is still standing after the events of the past nine months, then she deserves to be subjected to the same meme. The recent announcement that she has split up with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, tops off an extraordinary run of rotten luck for her.
