FIRST LOOK: Heather Locklear’s Fierce Return to Melrose Place

She’s back!

In an exclusive clip from Heather Locklear’s first episode of the CW’s Melrose Place revamp, her character Amanda Woodward makes a dramatic (and fashionable!) surprise return to offices of WPK Public Relations, walking in on Caleb (Victor Webster) and Ella (Katie Cassidy) as they’re discussing the launch party for their client Riley (Jessica Lucas) and and her new jeans campaign.

While Ella is convinced all she needs to do for the event is “drink the free champagne,” her boss tells her, “You’re doing this … under direct orders from New York.”

“Oh, well you can tell New York that when we’re looking for their opinion, we’ll ask,” she fires back.

Her timing couldn’t be worse. In walks Amanda, who says, “Why don’t you tell New York yourself?” Close your mouth, Ella!

“You know how I love surprises,” a stunning Amanda continues. “This L.A. branch is drowning in red like a steer in a slaughter house. Now when I hired you to give this place a makeover, I didn’t mean smeer it with lipstick and turn it into a five-dollar hooker.” Zing!

Heather’s first episode of Melrose Place airs Tuesday, Nov. 17 (9 p.m. EST) on the CW. –Aaron Parsley

ABC Cancels 'Eastwick,'

'Eastwick' will no longer cast a spell on ABC.

The network has reportedly chosen not to order any additional episodes of the bewitching series, starring Rebecca Romijn, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

In the meantime, ABC says that it will finish filming the remaining episodes under the show's 13-episode order. These episodes will in fact see the light of day -- at some point, anyway.

Eastwick has already been bumped for the next two weeks. The CMA Awards will air this Wednesday, followed by an exclusive interview with Janet Jackson on Nov. 18. That means the first of the six remaining episodes wouldn't even hit our screens until at least Nov. 25, assuming ABC sticks to its current schedule.

Considering that ABC is building a pretty strong lineup of shows on Wednesdays ('Modern Family'; 'Cougar Town'), it might not be a bad idea to think about replacing 'Eastwick' immediately.

There lies the question: If ABC were to move 'Eastwick,' where would it go? And more importantly: What would replace it on the schedule? Eventually, the network will run out of interviews and awards shows to fill the immediate void. So, why not consider a potentially life-saving switch with 'Ugly Betty'?

Fridays have become a dumping ground for shows (just ask 'Betty.' last week, the show drew in a measly 4.8 million viewers, after a previous all-time low). And with 'Eastwick' already getting the boot, it can't hardly do much worse than 'Betty' is doing now. So, why not give 'Betty' another shot in a new time slot, if only to see whether the old girl still has some life left in her? She did just get a new makeover after all.

40 Years of Sesame Street

Can you tell me how to get - how to get to Sesame Street? How many of us can recall that song? And now it's been 40 years and going strong. I for one truly loved watching Sesame Street and I know that my nieces and nephews watch it today and find the same excitement in doing so.

Sesame Street was such a learning experience for me growing up. Who can forget how they spoke about topics that were hard for children to deal with. From death to life threatening illness the members of Sesame Street helped our children to cope in times when we as adults and parents were at a loss for words ourselves.

Congratulations to Sesame Street - and may there be 40 more years!!!

Just in Time For The Holidays - Barbie: The Birds!

Ok now what in the world is this? I have to admit though I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock and The Birds is by far

one of his best movies. It still scares me today! Maybe I'll buy one of these for my nieces to play with. LOL

20 Year Anniversary of the Autumn of Change - The Berlin Wall Crumbles

During a revolutionary wave sweeping across the Eastern Bloc, the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, parts of the wall were chipped away by a euphoric public and by souvenir hunters; industrial equipment was later used to remove almost all of the rest. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990.

On November 9, 2009, Berlin will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a "Festival of Freedom", during which over 1,000 foam domino tiles over 8 feet tall will be stacked along the former route of the wall in the city center and toppled.

It's hard to believe that it is the 20 year anniversary of the Berlin Wall being taken down! Where were you on November 09, 1989?

Randy Quaid: From Respected Actor to Suspected Felon

Randy Quaid's friends still think well of him. "He's a really nice guy and insanely funny," Allan Evangelista tells PEOPLE after working with the actor on his most recent film, 'Balls Out: The Gary Houseman Story.'

"Everyone was just trying not to laugh when he would improvise. He's really down to earth ... just a cool guy to work with," Evangelista added.

And the 'Brokeback Mountain' star's lawyer defends him and his wife, Evi.

"They were never on the run from the law. They have a history of 20 years of staying at [the San Ysidro Ranch], and they have a history of always paying ... There's a lot of misinformation out there about this. It's much ado about nothing," Rod Ponton says of their legal troubles.

The pair missed four court appearances, leading to a warrant for their arrest. However, they recently posted bond. Ponton also explains that the bill for the hotel has been paid.

Not everyone is happy with them, though.

In September when Evi resisted arrest regarding the hotel incident, she taped a sign up that said "Davis takes payment$," referring to the police officer James Davis, who tried to take her into custody. Davis has since sued her for defamation.

Yet Evi's estranged father jumps to her defense.

"These are nice people. Evi is very flamboyant and really into that Hollywood scene. She has a real artistic flair. Randy is a great guy," George Motolanez describes to PEOPLE.

Many credit the couple's downward spiral with a rift with the Actors' Equity Association, when complaints were filed against Randy, leading him to be ousted.

"After that, [Evi] flipped," private investigator Becky Altringer says. "That's when she started saying everyone was against them, and now she's saying I'm against them."

Furthermore, several actors filed restraining orders against Randy's wife, adding to their troubles.

Despite everything, Ponton insists this will end well for his clients.

"It's just a minor deal that's going to probably get worked out. They're both nice, reputable people. They're artists, they're a little different, but they're not criminals."
