The last few months have been a bit lackluster for her, but Heather Locklear finally received some good news regarding her DUI case.

According to a report, the “Melrose Place” babe successfully had her driving under the influence case dismissed, having pled to a lesser charge.

Miss Locklear, instead, pled no contest to reckless driving, and she’ll be under informal probation for three years in addition to paying a $700 fine.

One more thing – Heather will be forced to attend a 12-hour drug education course as part of her punishment.  Still, that beats the heck out of a DUI conviction!

Enjoying some time overseas,Heather Graham was spotted canoodling with her boyfriend Yaniv Raz at the 13th Annual Capri Hollywood Film Festival Dinner in Naples, Italy last night (December 28).

Coming up in 2009, we’ll be seeing plenty of Miss Graham as she’ll be gracing the silver screens across America throughout the year.

Among her projects in the pipeline are “Boogie Woogie” with Alan Cumming and Gillian Anderson, “The Hangover” with Bradley Cooper, and “Son of Mourning” with Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Joseph Cross and directed by Raz.

Harry Morton has just started a legal war with the person who, posing as Harry, posted naked pictures of his friends on a MySpace page — problem is, he still doesn’t exactly know who he’s suing!

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior court, Morton, who once dated Lindsay Lohan, is going after an unknown cyber-troublemaker he calls “Jane Doe.” In the suit, Morton claims “Doe” posted nude photographs of one of his friends and a false statement that the friend had AIDS. Morton alleges that the fake page was created to give the impression he had created it himself.

Morton, owner of the famous Pink Taco restaurant chain, says he suffered “emotional distress,” was forced to “rehabilitate his reputation” and “lost business” due to the MySpace debacle. Morton also claims that he is working with the people at MySpace.com to identify the mysterious perpetrator.

TMZ was unable to contact Jane Doe … because we have no idea who she is either.

The beautiful Halle Berry evidently had a little wardrobe malfunction that was caught by Bauer Griffin’s photo agency. Read more on Halle Berry’s wardrobe malfunction and see the photos below. Halle Berry is currently filming Frankie and Alice and was in a very skimpy outfit that leaves little to the imagination, especially after Halle’s wardrobe malfunction! Bauer Griffin agency that witnessed the incident said, “Halle Berry continued filming on Frankie and Alice yesterday. But, this scene looks a bit more, how shall we say, intense than the last we spotted. Despite sub-zero temperatures, Halle let it all hang out… even though “hang” is a totally inaccurate descriptor of what she was showin’.

Tue, Dec 23 Much as we are going to miss Whitney Port on The Hills, giving her The City was a good move by MTV. She never meshed with The Hills crowd, preferring to live her own life, and The Hills has evolved into a couple of separate shows as it is. So Plus 25 for The City debuting next week – and The Hills retur…

In an image bound to go down in history, every living U.S. president came together at the White House on Wednesday to hash over the world’s challenges with the president-elect. There they stood, shoulder-to-shoulder in the Oval Office: George H.W. Bush, Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.  “This is an extraordinary gathering,” Obama said, looking plenty at ease in the humbling office that will soon be his.  “All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office,” Obama said. “And for me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary. And I’m very grateful to all of them.”  Bush, blistered without mercy by Obama during the campaign season, played the role of gracious host.  “All of us who have served in this office understand that the office transcends the individual,” Bush said as Obama nodded in thanks. “And we wish you all the very best. And so does the country.”  It was a moment of statesmanship that tends to happen when presidents get together, no matter how bitter their previous rivalries. In a photo opportunity that lasted less than two minutes, Carter, Clinton and the senior Bush smiled but said nothing. They deferred to the nation’s incoming and outgoing leaders.  Later in the day, the president-elect praised Bush as “incredibly gracious” and credited the president and his staff with making the transition “as smooth as any we’ve seen in history.” In an interview with CNBC, Obama said the presidents gave him good counsel not only on specific issues but also on raising a family in the White House. The Obamas have two daughters, Malia,
