Heather Locklear hospitalized for bacterial infection

Heather Locklear is in the hospital. The actress — who recently completed a 30-day, in-patient rehab program for prescription drugs — has been hospitalized in California and is being treated for a bacterial infection.

The Melrose Place star — who is on antibiotics — is “doing fine,” her rep told People magazine. She’s expected to be released Wednesday.

Locklear had just returned from Canada, where she finished shooting a movie called He Loves Me.

Reports in October claimed Heather is planning to tie the knot with her on/off boyfriend Jack Wagner.

Wagner reportedly proposed to the actress at Locklear’s 49th birthday bash on September 25th.

The couple, who met on the set of TV soap Melrose Place, has been dating since early 2007.

“Heather never felt the time was right, but now she is ready,” a source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper.

If the wedding rumors are true, it will be Locklear’s third trip down the aisle. She wed Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee in 1986, before divorcing six years later, and she married Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora in 1994. They split in 2006 after 12 years together and are parents to 13-year-old daughter Ava.
