Earlier today we saw a few photos of a forlorn-lookin’ Eliza Dushku with her hunk of man Rick Fox at last night’s LA Lakers game and now we get to see a few photos of the very much in lurve Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner at the very same game. As you should be WELL aware, Heather is about to make her much-anticipated return to Melrose Place on Tuesday night and she tells Extra! TV that she wants her beau Jack Wagner (who also appeared on Melrose Place back in the 90′s) to return to the show as well:

Heather Locklear wouldn’t mind if her real-life beau Jack Wagner joined her on the “Melrose Place” spin-off. “It would be great fun,” Locklear, 48, told “Extra” on the set of the CW drama. She debuts Nov. 17. Locklear calls Wagner — whom she’s been dating since 2007 — “my favorite person to hang out with besides my daughter [Ava Elizabeth, 12]. So, yeah, I want him all the time.” There’s one catch, though. She doesn’t want him hooking up with “anyone else … that’s a no-no.” She jokes there’d only have to be love scenes, “with me, kissing me, everything me.” As for her? The rules don’t apply. After taping a make-out scene with Billy Campbell, Locklear admits, “It was fabulous.” Expect more action. Locklear says the remake is, “a little racier than the old ‘Melrose.’”

I, too, would love to have Jack back on MP but methinks he is a bit too bizzy working on his full time job at The Bold and the Beautiful. Tho, if I had my druthers, each of the original castmembers of Melrose Place would slowly return to the new version of the show and take over from the young’ns. That being said, I am still LOVING the new MP and I am eagerly awaiting Amanda Woodward‘s return … we are just about 4 days away from the big night! Oh and Go Lakers!!

On Wednesday I shared a bunch of promo images of Tori Amos from the liner notes of her new holiday album Midwinter Graces and I expressed that the disc is absolutely one of her best albums ever. Hearkening back to Tori‘s early solo music, Graces sounds like the classic Tori Amos that we all know and love. Today we get to read an interview that Tori did with New York magazine about her new album wherein she talks about how she made Xmas music in her own style by first educating herself on the origins of Xmas carols:

It’s been a busy year for singer-songwriter Tori Amos: After releasing her tenth studio album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, in May, she found time during the ensuing tour to record her first holiday-themed record, Midwinter Graces, which arrived in stores yesterday. Her dramatic piano lines are intact, but the album deviates from Amos’s traditional style (most notably, it includes Christmas songs). As the daughter of a Reverend, Amos grew up surrounded by theology, and Graces is steeped in interpretations of old religious hymns. Vulture spoke with Amos about her new album on the phone from her home studio in Cornwall, England.

How did your upbringing influence this album?
There’s all kinds of memories. I remember driving to North Carolina when
I was a little girl in a snowstorm to get down to my mom’s family in the Carolinas. There were chains on the car — it was the late sixties — and we were just singing in the car. Christmas carols. And it was one of those things where of all the music that my dad turned me on to, the Christmas carols are what I related to a lot more than any religious music that the Methodists were pushing.

But these songs don’t stick to classical interpretations.
I love the classic crooners, but I got that from my mother — she worked in a record store. But my dad was a minister, so …

It’s more hymnal based.
Oh yeah. But during research I thought, Why does this music sound better than the other hymns? Little did I know at the time, but a lot of those songs used to be popular drinking songs and sea shanties for the Brits. “Nowell” — the correct spelling is N-O-W-E-L-L — there’s this book called the Oxford Book of Carols which tells you the origins of the melodies. Some of them go back so far. And what would happen is, these new denominations would be popping up and they’d think, “Oh, God, we need some hit songs.” So they’d take a popular song and put Christology to it. I’ve carried on the tradition. I’ve done variations of the themes that were variations of the themes.

What are some of the variations?
I did go to the Peabody Conservatory and figured that it needed to come in handy somewhere down the line. So I decided [to] bring in the string section, bring in the big band. And I love the big band and I think that’s where you get the song “Pink & Glitter.” And I think that was inspired by those old crooner songs.

Is writing in this style harder for you?
Well, in order to make this kind of record and to have it work, I needed to know what the carol writers were doing, then you need to know the theology of where it came from in order to change it. I did change it in making it more inclusive rather than exclusive. Because some of these lyrics were written, it was in a very puritanical time. Women had no rights, they couldn’t vote. Some of the music would’ve been fifteenth century.

I love Tori Amos interviews, I always end up learning something new. Did YOU know that Xmas carols were written as drinking songs back in the day? I love that! Even before I heard the album, I knew that Tori would do her research first and then make the traditional songs we thought we knew into something wholly hers. I cannot stress enough how great this album is … I’m very happy to read in the comments that some of y’all agree that Midwinter Graces is one of Tori‘s finest albums. If you’ve yet to hear it for yourselves, you can listen to the album in full HERE … and if you love it, I urge you to buy a copy to own. This album actually makes me look forward to Xmas … cuz it reminds me that what we are really celebrating is the Winter Solstice :)

Yesterday we saw photos of the Twilight Trinity — Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart — at a photocall/premiere screening event in Madrid, Spain and today we get to see a few photos of the BFF castmates actually pressing the flesh with the rabid diehard Twilight fans who came out for the event … behold:

You may recall that the Twilight Trinity also spent some time gettin’ up close and personal with the fans in London as well … so it sounds like they are doing everything humanly possible to promote their new sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon as much as they can. After the jump, check out a few photos of these three making their exit from a restaurant in Madrid last night after their long day of promotion …

In the wake of the very sad news that Fox has canceled the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse, which stars Eliza Dushku, Eliza and her paramour Rick Fox made their way out to a LA Lakers basketball game in an attempt get cheered up … but from the looks on Eliza‘s face all night long, it doesn’t appear that she got cheered up at all. Here are a few pics of Eliza and Rick at the Lakers game last night along with a few tweets from her official Twitter profile posted yesterday about the end of Dollhouse:

Hear it here. Hey, that’s really why I started twitter, the rumors/news IS true: Dollhouse will not cont. past these 13 eps :( BUT… There’s always a but… I can’t express enough– this has been one of the MOST rewarding experiences of my career. Thank you guys!

Yeah, I’m sure Eliza is BUMMED about the end of Dollhouse. I loved her in the series, I loved seeing her on TV on a weekly basis and I loved that she starred in a Whedon project. I’m not sure if she’ll have the same opportunity again in the future but … well … the whole thing just sucks.

Eliza did tweet while she was at the game last night, showing that she might’ve been having a good time … or at least was being a good sport:

This Boston girl can enjoy a Laker game. Shannon Brown exploded a coupla times- dunked the net OFF. Go Celtics, tho ;)

Eliza rulz … she may be out of work at the moment but she won’t be for long … I’m sure of it.
