All Smiles

012512_heather_still

Heather Locklear surfaced for the first time since her 911 emergency two weeks ago, and she says she's feeling fine.

Freelance photogs talked to her in the San Fernando Valley Tuesday. One photog asked if she had a problem with alcohol and prescription drugs. Heather was mum. 

TMZ broke the story ... Heather was rushed to the hospital after her sister called 911 because Heather had taken a dangerous mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol.

As we first reported, Heather's family is trying to get her into a treatment facility, but she's having none of it.

By the way, she's not wearing makeup, and she looks great.

Jack Wagner
Surfaces in L.A.
After Blowout Fight with Heather


1_r88wsrk8_1_rsx255s2
A smiling Jack Wagner left a gym this morning as a photog asked about his blowout fight with Heather Locklear ... but Jack wasn't talking.

It's the first time we've seen Wagner since the fight in December -- a fight that got so bad the cops were called.  As we first reported, both Jack and Heather have a date with prosecutors in a few weeks, to determine if the matter should be dropped or if misdemeanor battery charges should be filed.

The photog from the agency that shot the video asked if he thought Heather needed professional help.  We know her family thinks she does, but so far Heather is ensconced at home with no intention of seeking treatment.

Heather Locklear, Jack Wagner
Have a Date ...
With Prosecutors

Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner
Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner have been ordered to appear at the L.A. City Attorney's Office for a hearing ... which will determine if either or both get charged with criminal battery after a blow-out fight.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the LAPD has prepared a file on the fight between Heather and Jack that occurred in late December at Jack's San Fernando Valley home. We're told cops were called to the home after Heather and Jack allegedly got physical with each other during a heated argument. As one law enforcement source said, "She lost it on him and he retaliated."

When cops arrived ... neither Heather nor Jack wanted to press charges ... but the file was still sent over to the City Attorney for review.

Heather and Jack now must go to an office hearing ... an informal talk in which prosecutors hear out both sides and then decide if the matter should be dropped or prosecuted. We're told the hearing will be held by the end of the month.

The City Attorney could decide to file misdemeanor battery charges against Heather, Jack or both, but our sources say it's almost certain the matter will be dropped after the hearing.

Heather Locklear
Rehab Standoff With Family

Heather LocklearHeather Locklear is digging in her heels ... continuing to defy family members who are pleading with her to check into a rehab program.

Sources tell us Heather is recovering at home after a dangerous mixture of prescription pills and booze landed her in the ICU last week with intense stomach pains.  But family ... including Heather's parents ... are still pushing for her to get professional help.

As TMZ first reported -- Heather's family is pushing for her to get treatment at UCLA Medical Center.

So far, Heather's not budging.

Heather Locklear
The 911 Call
Severe Stomach Pains

0116_heather_EX_01
TMZ has obtained the 911 call placed January 12 by Heather Locklear's sister ... the tape is heavily redacted because of patient confidentiality, but TMZ has learned the nature of the emergency.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Heather's sister told the dispatcher Heather was having intense stomach pains and was in severe distress.  When paramedics arrived they performed some tests and quickly decided her condition was so serious Heather needed to be transported to a hospital and placed in ICU immediately.

TMZ broke the story ... paramedics examined Heather after her sister made the emergency call, and determined Heather needed to be hospitalized after she had taken a dangerous combination of prescription drugs and alcohol.

It's her second drug-related emergency in the last couple years -- Heather was hospitalized back in 2008 for what the 911 operator described as a "suicide attempt" ... after her doctor became concerned Heather may have OD'd on prescription pills. It turned out to be a false alarm.

Family Wants Treatment
At UCLA Hospital

Heather Locklear is out of the hospital, but we've learned her family wants her back in -- at UCLA Hospital.

As we first reported, Heather went to rehab last October in her battle with prescription drug addiction ... and it wasn't her first time.

Sources tell us the family wants her in a hospital setting this time around -- not a boutique rehab place -- and UCLA has one of the best facilities in the country.

You may recall, Lindsay Lohan spent time at UCLA's Stewart and Lynn Reskick Neuropsychiatric Hospital in August 2010, but she was released early.

As of yesterday, we're told Heather did not want to go to rehab again ... period.

But so far ... Heather is resisting.

As we first reported, Heather's sister called 911 Thursday just after 2 PM PT and said she had taken a dangerous mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol.  She was hospitalized in serious condition. 

Heather is currently in the ICU of the hospital in stable condition -- and earlier today, she got a visit from her sister.

--------------------------------------

Heather Locklear
was taken to the hospital by ambulance Thursday afternoon after taking a dangerous mix of prescription drugs and alcohol ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We've learned ... Locklear's sister called 911 at 2:05 PM PT fearing Heather was in danger.

The fire department, along with the Ventura County Sheriff's Department responded. Paramedics examined Heather and determined she needed to be hospitalized.

This is not the first time Locklear has had a medical emergency where 911 responded. In 2008, her doctor was concerned she may have overdosed on prescription meds. He called 911 and the operator described the situation as a "suicide attempt." It turned out to be a false alarm.

Locklear recently called off her engagement to Jack Wagner.

Heather was at the Lakers game Tuesday night ... hanging with a friend, who was playfully trying to take away her beverage. It's unclear if the drink contained alcohol.
