Melrose Place Brings Four Original Cast Members Together for a Par-tay
Ain't no party like a Melrose party!
And according to my sources, that is precisely what we'll get a little later this season on the CW's Melrose Place, as not one, not two, not three but four alums from the original series will convene on the famous complex to party down.
Clearly, Heather Locklear is one of them, as she made her triumphant and bitchtastic return tonight. (Can that girl still rock a miniskirt or what?) And according to sources, Locklear will appear in all but one of the remaining episodes of Melrose's first season (there are 18 total).
I'm told Heather will be joined by three other Melrose Place alums in the 16th episode...
Spoiler Chat: Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd Dishes on (And Defends!) "Love Triangle"
Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.
Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.
Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.
Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (is Stefan really gone?) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.
It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Out With a Bang: Ashlee and Colin Shoot "Crazy Naked" Sex Scene Before Leaving Melrose
Looks like the Parents Television Council is going to have more ammo.
We're hearing there's going to be a "crazy naked" sex scene on Melrose Place before the two recently ousted players go on their merry way: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield.
How racy is it? "It involves us both wearing half-loin cloths that they had to tape to us," Colin himself tells us. "There are very few clothes involved in the near future."
And if your name is Bronx you probably shouldn't hear this part but Colin says of Ashlee/Violet: "She's up for anything."
Saucy!
Not that we're complaining, but what's behind all of this nakedness, and why is the main suspect in a major murder mystery shacking up with the resident Melrose wackjob? We have more scoop...
See Locklear's Triumphant Return to Melrose Place
Heather Locklear really does have something goin' on. Maybe it's her 30 years of experience in series television or maybe it's that her boobs look fantastic, but whatever the source of power, Locklear's ability to transform TV shows appears to remain entirely intact.
Heather Locklear (re)joins the cast of Melrose Place this coming Tuesday, and it looks like she still has exactly the chilly authority the CW needs to up Melrose's profile in TV land. Melrose's prospects remain realistically dim, but should Heather's arrival generate enough buzz and a moderate ratings increase, the show might live out the season and be considered for a second year. It's hard to tell what people really want from their nighttime soaps, so who's to say why the show is struggling, but Locklear's involvement is as likely as any other effort to bring about a series renewal.
Now, as for the content of these three sneak peeks, Amanda's definitely moving in to Ella's (Katie Cassidy) PR firm, but where will she live now that she's back in town? Find out:

Did Auggie Kill Sydney on Melrose Place? Or Was It Ella?!
Remember that knife the cops found last week on Melrose Place? Well, according to the sneak peek above from Tuesday's all-new episode, Auggie's prints are all over it! Could our nearly departed Colin Egglesfield be playing the killer after all? The evidence says yes, but after watching this sneak peek, we're beginning to wonder about Katie Cassidy's conniving Ella. She's definitely up to something. And then there's ol' crazy eyes herself, Violet (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz), who is, of course, named in the Melrose Place yearbook as Resident Most Likely to Be a Homicidal Maniac.
Not interested in solving the Melrose murder mystery? Well in that case, we've also got some romance for you!

Colin Egglesfield Explains His Shocking Dismissal from Melrose Place
Man, life is rough.
One day you're happy as a clam, working as a castmember on a primetime network drama, and the next day someone's feeding you a line about changes in your show's "tone" and shuffling you off to Buffalo.
That's what just happened to departing Melrose Place star Colin Egglesfield, who sums up his rollercoaster Thursday this way: "I've had better days, to be quite honest."
We just spoke to Colin exclusively to find out why he's being pushed out of the show, not to mention where Auggie fits into the show's big murder mystery, and despite what you may have theorized, Auggie's not getting killed off, and despite what you may have been told, this exit was not planned from the beginning: "[They said it] was a network decision and obviously the ratings aren't what they need or want them to be, so they're going to try things to shake things up."
So what really happened today, and what's going to happen next on Melrose Place? Here's what we learned from Colin:
