Heather Locklear’s ex-husband Richie Sambora (who struggled with alcoholism) called her daily during her recent four-week stint in rehab for depression and anxiety, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. (The paper claims she also may have been treated for prescription drug issues.)

It is among the revelations a source at the clinic tells the paper.

The source says that Locklear, 46, told the other patients at the Arizona facility that she felt the world was closing in on her before she sought help. The source adds that Locklear felt people expected her “to be perfect, always beautiful.”

During her stay, the source says Locklear “couldn’t have been warmer or more approachable. There was no diva behavior. She was totally genuine, down-to-earth and warm.”

She often enjoyed riding horses. She even told patients that she wanted to make a Western film “so I can better work on my riding skills,” the insider says. At one point during rehab, Locklear was overheard singing and said she’d love to record an album, the source says.

She also kept a daily journal and told other patients that she’s working on a couple of books, including a memoir and “a coffee table-style book about design,” the source says.

In addition to the daily calls from Sambora, her current beau, actor Jack Wagner — whom the source says she could wed “soon” — visited her several times.

But it was her daughter Ava, 10, who “helped Heather get through the program. She knew that little girl was back home waiting for her, and she talked about her constantly.”

The source adds that Locklear has also watched Denise Richards’ reality show.

“Heather thinks the show is a riot,” the source says, “but only because it makes Denise look like an idiot.”

Jake Gyllenhaal will join his sister Maggie at one of The Dark Knight premieres in a bid to pay tribute to his Brokeback Mountain co-star and friend Heath Ledger.

Jake Gyllenhaal, the godfather of Ledger’s two-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams, is planning to attend one of the upcoming U.S. premieres.

He’ll support his sister Maggie, who worked with tragic Ledger on the new Batman film.

A source tells OK! magazine, “Jake is debating coming to the New York city premiere or waiting to be Maggie’s date at an L.A. screening. He wants this to be something positive that will celebrate the role of a lifetime and a performance of which Heath was so proud.”

Ledger’s parents and sister are also expected to jet to New York from their home in Perth, Australia, to attend the New York premiere on July 14th.

Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment in January.

Boy George is set to play an exclusive gig for an unlikely audience - he will perform at New York’s Department of Sanitation Family Day in August.

The former Culture Club frontman worked alongside the Big Apple’s sanitation workers in 2006 when he was sentenced to community service and garbage duty after falsely reporting a burglary at his apartment in the city.

And the star is keen to perform for the people he met while being punished - insisting their kindness made the humiliating task easier.

He explains, “The people I worked alongside showed great kindness to me at a very difficult time, and I wanted to thank them all in a way that would show my appreciation.”

The star will play at the department’s annual Family Day on August 17th. He is kicking of a North American tour in Aspen, Colorado a month before.

A spokesman for the Department of Sanitation says, “Keeping New York City safe and clean is a daunting challenge - as Boy George well knows - and we welcome his generous offer to entertain those who have made our city the cleanest it has been in more than 30 years.”
