Buzz Briefs: Heather Locklear, Miley Cyrus

Prescription Drugs Cited In Locklear Driving Case

California prosecutors have charged Heather Locklear whose TV credits include "Dynasty" and "Melrose Place," with driving while under the influence of prescription drugs.

The California Highway Patrol said the actress showed "obvious impairment" when an officer noticed her car parked and blocking a lane on a highway in September, but that alcohol was ruled out. She was tested for drugs at a police station and released.

Locklear, who divorced Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora last year, sought treatment for anxiety and depression in June.

Locklear is scheduled for arraignment on Jan. 26. Her attorney, Blair Berk, had no comment when reached via e-mail Monday.

Miley Cyrus: The Victim Of Internet Death Hoax

No need to grieve, tweens: Miley Cyrus is not dead.

The "Hannah Montana" star, who is alive and well, was the victim of an Internet hoax over the weekend when someone hacked into her YouTube account and posted a video alleging she'd been killed by a drunken driver.

The video, which has been taken down, had a fake message from Cyrus pal Mandy Jiroux, who swiftly denied the rumor in a posting on her official MySpace page.

Wrote Jiroux: "MILEY IS OK!! Some1 hacked our youtube account."

More proof: The Associated Press interviewed Cyrus at the Los Angeles junket for the Disney animated film "Bolt" on Sunday night. She voices a 12-year-old TV actress in the movie, which hits theaters Nov. 21.

Christopher Lloyd's Burned Home Brings Him "Back To Reality"

Christopher Lloyd says he has a "different awareness" after returning to his burned-out Montecito home.

The "Back to the Future" actor told ABC's "Good Morning America" that he wouldn't rebuild the $11 million home in the celebrity enclave northwest of Los Angeles. It was among dozens of homes lost in wildfires.

"You watch TV, you see these kinds of incidents happening here and there, but you look with a kind of detachment because it's happening ... elsewhere," he said, walking through the rubble. "But suddenly to be in the midst of it, it's a very different awareness."

Lloyd said he'd been putting off organizing and storing memorabilia that he'd kept at the house.

"Kind of don't have to worry about that now," he said.

Bahrain Sheik Sues "King Of Pop" For $7 Million

Representatives for the king of Bahrain's son say he is suing pop star Michael Jackson for $7 million.

The Bell Pottinger Group says Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa has filed a breach-of-contract case against the troubled singer at London's Royal Courts of Justice.

The suit is to be heard Monday afternoon. It comes a week after Jackson gave up the title to his Neverland ranch in California.

In 2006, Jackson announced he would put out a new album for Khalifa's record label 2 Seas Records. Media reports say Khalifa is arguing that the promised work was never delivered.

Jackson's finances fell apart following his arrest in 2003 on charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy at Neverland. He moved to Bahrain after being acquitted of the charges.

McCartney Hopes To Release Funky Beatles Track

Paul McCartney says it's time an experimental Beatles track saw the light of day.

McCartney says he wants to release "Carnival of Light," a 14-minute experimental track the Fab Four recorded in 1967 but never released.

The band played the recording for an audience just once, at an electronic music festival in London. It reportedly includes distorted guitar, organ sounds, gargling and shouts of "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?" from McCartney and John Lennon.

McCartney said during a recording session at Abbey Road studios he asked the other members of the band to "just wander round all of the stuff and bang it, shout, play it. It doesn't need to make any sense."

"I like it because it's The Beatles free, going off piste," he told the BBC in a radio interview to be broadcast Thursday. Extracts of the interview were published Sunday in The Observer newspaper.

McCartney said he still had a master tape of the piece and "the time has come for it to get its moment."

McCartney, usually regarded as the most melodically minded Beatle, told the BBC he had a long-standing interest in avant-garde music. He said "Carnival of Light" was inspired by experimental composers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

He said he had wanted to include the track on the Beatles' "Anthology" compilation, but was vetoed by his bandmates.

McCartney would need permission from Ringo Starr and the widows of Lennon and George Harrison to release the track.

Attorney General Hopeful & Arizona Governor Becomes An "SNL" Parody

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has hit a milestone in any politician's career - she was parodied on "Saturday Night Live."

The brief impersonation by cast member Kristen Wiig came during host Paul Rudd's opening monologue.

Rudd discussed the show's popular political impersonations and assured the audience there were plenty of good impressions left to do.

That included Napolitano, a Democrat mentioned as a possible attorney general in Barack Obama's administration.

Wiig then came out donning Napolitano's hairstyle - short and black with a gray spot in the front. She walked offstage awkwardly after giving an oversimplified answer on how she would secure the U.S.-Mexico border.

Julianna Margulies Declines "ER" Guest Appearance

The final "ER" season is bringing back some of its original stars for guest shots, but Julianna Margulies won't be among them. She was invited but says she declined.

Margulies, who played nurse Carol Hathaway on the NBC medical drama from its 1994 premiere, exited after six seasons. Her character left Chicago for Seattle, settling down with the character played by fellow "ER" alum George Clooney.

Margulies says she feels she left Hathaway "in the best scenario possible" and can't imagine a better ending for the character.

Fellini's Hollywood-Inspired Sketches To Be Displayed In L.A.

Scores of sketches from Federico Fellini's personal journals will go on display in Los Angeles, including a caricature of Marcello Mastroianni and drawings that inspired movie characters.

Organizers said Monday that the "Fellini Oniricon" show features about 100 reproductions of sketches from two journals covering the years from 1960 to 1990. Also on display are the original journals and photos taken on the sets of the late Italian director's movies.

The show has some 40 caricatures, including of Pablo Picasso, Sophia Loren and Mastroianni, who starred in Fellini's "La Dolce Vita."

The Oscar-winning Fellini died in 1993.

The show, at the Academy Awards building, will run from Jan. 24-April 19. It has already been held in Italy.
