BRBTV News Blog Blip: We're quite sure that on any given day, somewhere in the world, a Lifetime or Hallmark movie is being filmed, but never have there been quite so many photos snapped as with "Flirting With 40," currently being filmed for Lifetime in Calgary, Alberta. The reason, of course, is our lovely "Dynasty" alum Heather Locklear, whose star just can't seem to shine any brighter, in-between her husband's DUI charges and that mysterious 911 call! We've watched a lot of these photos come and go over the past few weeks but simply couldn't resist passing this one along, from the I Got UGGs blog. And while we're talkin' Locklear (cuz, evidently, we have to, these days, kinda like John Schneider!!!!), let's also browse over to Live Journal, which features her in a spin through the lives of '90s TV stars, "Then and Now." Definitely keep scrolling past Locklear, though; it's a fun trip.
