Celebrity Sensitivity: Heather Locklear, Ruslana Korshunova, and Adam Duritz

Posted Jul 07 2008 7:08pm

Locklear_heatherHeather Locklear, most famous for her roles inT.J. HookerandDynasty, checked into an Arizona facility for treatment of anxiety and depression on June 19.As of July 2, rumors reported that she was still checked into the facility. Her publicist issued a statement on June 24:

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," says Locklear's rep, Cece Yorke. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

It seems that her bout of depression began after her split from rocker Richie Sambora to whom she was married for about 10 years. It appears that her current partner, actor Jack Wagner, has been a strong source of support and encouragement for her.

However, in other upsetting news,21-year-old model Ruslana Korshunova jumped from the window of her Manhattan apartment in what appears to be a suicide. No one is quite sure what caused it but the based on the poetry that she posted on a website, the New York Daily News has proposed the idea that it was over "a lost love."

What makes my case even worse is that every night I go out on stage and have this incredible emotional connection between me, the band, and the audience. Then, just like that, it’s over. I go backstage, back to the bus, back to my hotel room, and sit there all by myself. That deep connection is yanked away in an instant. It’s like breaking up with your girlfriend over and over again, every night.
