You might wanna turn away, Jessica Simpson.

A couple days after the busty, worthless, bitter singer Tweeted that Melrose Place is "crap," The CW drama is ramping up its promotional efforts.

Just two weeks away from the return of Heather Locklear as Amanda Woodward, the network has released the following new poster:

Indeed, Locklear reprises her iconic role on November 17, as Amanda returns to Los Angeles to run the PR firm at which Katie Cassidy's Ella works.

With ratings for the Melrose Place remake sinking faster than Ashlee Simpson's acting career, producers hope this casting coup will pay off.

Will you tune in for Locklear's return to primetime television?

You've heard the rumors.

Then, you read the confirmation: Heather Locklear is reprising her role as Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place.

Now, you can actually see the character in action again, as Locklear has filmed her first scenes on the rebooted CW series.

Amanda will return on November 17, portraying the boss of Katie Cassidy's Ella. It's set to be a battle of the bitches, which fans can preview below. This is a shot of Locklear on her debut episode:

Through two weeks, fewer people have watched the new Melrose Place than believe Khloe Kardashian will actually marry Lamar Odom this Sunday.

But The CW hopes all that will change on November 17. That's the date on which Heather Locklear will reprise her beloved role as Amanda Woodward.

“We’re ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to Melrose Place,” executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer said. "Heather’s involvement in the show is something we’ve been working on for some time as we couldn’t imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character’s inclusion."

The new version of Melrose Place is yet to garner even two million viewers for an episode.

Locklear, however, helped the original drama stay on the air for seven years, following her addition to the cast at the conclusion of its first season.

She joins former co-stars Laura Leighton, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bisset and Daphne Zuniga on the rebooted CW series. Will you tune in for her return?

Let's hope this means less screen time for Ashlee Simpson...

Following months of rumors, talk is growing stronger that Heather Locklear will appear on the new Melrose Place.

Locklear starred on the original series in the role of Amanda Woodward, but she's fallen on hard times recently. The actress was arrested last year and posed for one of the scariest mug shots Hollywood has ever seen.

Would her presence on the rebooted Melrose Place guarantee the show a spot on your fall viewing schedule? Or is your DVR already set for a series recording of it?

In the strangest development ever, the woman who called 911 and got Heather Locklear arrested the other day is a former Us Weekly staffer who was under investigation by the FBI - and she's the one who tipped off the paparazzi!

Jill Ishkanian allegedly hacked into Us Weekly's computer system to locate celebs after she left the magazine, and was following Locklear in the Montecito area.

Ishkanian watched the actress go to a market. When Heather got into her car, Ishkanian called 911, even though the star's car wasn't even moving at the time.

To make matters worse, immediately after Ishkanian called 911, she called a paparazzi agency to give them a heads up that Heather was about to be popped!

Heather Locklear's mug shot, taken after her arrest in Santa Barbara.

Nevertheless, the California Highway Patrol says the motives of Jill Ishkanian are irrelevant to the DUI arrest and the case is in the hands of prosecutors.

One CHP official told TMZ they were unaware that Jill Ishkanian called the paparazzi immediately after she made the 911 call - but it has no bearing.

The decision on whether to prosecute Heather Locklear will be based on the results of the drug tests administered - those due in around three weeks.

The CHP says it has received calls from other people who tell the same basic story as Ishkanian, who also gave a written statement. A CHP spokesperson says "There's no reason to believe the witness is less than credible."

Heather Locklear was arrested in Santa Barbara and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence - cops think she was on prescription meds.

The mug shot below is a fairly good indicator that something was amiss ...

A resident reported Heather was "driving erratically" while pulling out of a parking lot in Santa Barbara. The California Highway Patrol then found the former Melrose Place star's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane of traffic.

After talking with her, the officer determined she was under the influence of something and arrested her. She was tested for drugs and alcohol.

Alcohol was found not to be a factor, but drug tests continue.

Heather Locklear was released without having to post bail. The cops probably just didn't want to have to stare at those creepy eyes any longer. Yikes.

As she receives treatment for anxiety and depression at an Arizona facility, Heather Locklear enjoyed a recent visit from boyfriend Jack Wagner this week.

The Bold and the Beautiful star â€" who hadn't seen Locklear since she left Los Angeles for the facility on June 19 â€" spent several hours with her last weekend, sources report. On Sunday, the two had lunch together in the facility's dining area.

"He looked like he was taking care of her," said a witness.

Even beautiful people get sad.

Heather Locklear has checked into a rehab facility in Arizona psychological treatment.

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," the actress' rep said in a statement. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

In the end, is there any doubt this this is all the fault of Denise Richards for stealing Locklear's husband, Richie Samboa?

Winona Ryder's boobs are so yesterday's news.

While that star caught our attention with her cleavage flash over the weekend, an older, more beautiful actress is now keeping us abreast of her ample assets. That's right, even in her forties, Heather Locklear can feel herself up with the best of them.

We still have no idea how David Spade reportedly had the chance to touch these. But we assume Locklear ended the relationship once she saw a couple clips of Rules of Engagement.

Meanwhile, while we won't be seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt nude any time soon, we can probably expect this actress to pick up her cleavage PR campaign. She can't allow a celebrity twice her age to steal her boob thunder.

Lindsay Lohan must've been thinking the same thing during her recent GQ photo spread. Or maybe she was just wasted again.

Heather Locklear was born to rock 'n roll.

Or at least born to date those who do.

Despite divorcing two musicians â€" Supernova drummer Tommy Lee and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora â€" the actress stil tells People magazine she has a soft spot for musicians.

"I still like rock stars," she said. "Any man is good for me (just) not married men."

But right now there is no special someone in her life, despite reports she was dating Jonathon Schaech.

"I'm single," she confirmed, though she has also been linked to comedian David Spade. Just last month the pair were spotted in Honolulu, where they took in the final show on U2's Vertigo world tour.

But Locklear, who was at the conference promoting her upcoming Lifetime movie Angels Fall, is not sad about single life.

"I'm doing good," she said. "Today, I'm good."

Probably better than Candice Sanders at least.
