News Brief

Michael Damien at cancer walk; will appear on Y&R in November
Damien participated in the 10th annual UMass Medical School Walk to Cure Cancer yesterday.

“My godmother/aunt passed away two days ago. It happened really fast. She was diagnosed with a rare stomach cancer and then she was gone. This is the least we can do,” said Mr. Damien, who volunteered his services and flew his band and a friend with cancer to Massachusetts just for the cancer walk.

“I believe in this cause deeply, and support the research that is going on now. I put the concert (date) on MySpace and it was amazing how many people responded with stories of their own. It was my honor to help,” said Mr. Damien.

Damien will be on the set of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS in October, with episodes to air in November.

Actress Heather Locklear Arrested
Former DYNASTY and MELROSE PLACE star Heather Locklear has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in Santa Barbara, California.

Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said 47-year-old Locklear was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer on Saturday afternoon.

It followed a passer-by telling police that the actress left a car park "driving erratically".

The officer noticed Locklear's vehicle parked on a state highway and blocking a lane in Montecito - a wealthy community about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

She was believed to have be alone in the car, Mr Marshall said.

Locklear was taken to the police station, where she was tested for alcohol and drugs.

She was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication.

Arrest photos showed a huge ring on her finger. She was apparently staying at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito with B&B star Jack Wagner.

THAAO PENGHLIS is "bewildered"
"Off to NY and Wash. on Tuesday for meetings for one week. Had a DOOL show yesterday with Lexie. It went very well. Sorry to say but there has been so little story that I'm a little bewildered. It was going so well. But I'm doing other things that could be very exciting."

Colin Egglesfield: Soap Opera Heart Throb and Entrepreneur
On how he manages his time being both an actor and t-shirt entrepreneur: "It’s tricky. The key is to have good people around to to delegate to. My sister helps with PR. She fields inquiries, samples, and distributes press kits. My brother helps with the inventory. Lots of friends help out in different ways such as helping me out at trade shows. I’m talking to a manufacturer and distributor that I’ll possibly working with. It’s getting to a point where I can’t do it myself…you have to give up certain part as you grow because you can’t do it all after a certain point."
