LOCKLEAR TO PACK BAG FOR YEAR ON '90210'?
By MICHAEL STARR
SULTRY "Melrose Place" vixen Heather Locklear might be moving to a more upscale neighborhood - "Beverly Hills, 90210."
Insiders say TV titan Aaron Spelling has offered Locklear a role on "90210" after "Melrose Place" ends its seven-season run in May.
And Spelling is reportedly offering Locklear a whopping $250,000-per episode, or $5.5 million for a 22-episode season.
Spelling Television produces both shows, which air on Fox.
"There was something in the tabloids but it's just a rumor," said a spokesman for Locklear.
"Heather is taking meetings for movies...and at this point it's a total rumor," said a Fox spokeswoman.
It's not clear if Locklear would transplant her "Melrose Place" character, Amanda Woodward, to "90210" or if she would play a totally new character.
But one insider says that, whatever the scenario, Spelling thinks the idea is "interesting."
It is widely assumed that "90210" will end its 10-year run after next year, and Locklear could add some extra sizzle to its swansong.
Locklear rejuvenated a struggling "Melrose Place" during the show's first season when she burst onto the scene as scheming Amanda Woodward, Alison's (Courtney Thorne-Smith) boss at the ad agency.
