As you know, Deadline's TV Editor Nellie Andreeva is still traveling... Broadcasting & Cable is reporting that TBS' Lopez Tonight is shaking up its producing ranks.

The couple were first spotted kissing at an afterparty for Spade's series Showbiz Show in March - one month after Locklear filed for divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. A source tells American publication People, "Heather is still going through a lot with Denise Richards and Richie. It's just too soon for her to get serious. They are still friends. It's not ugly." Another source close to Spade says that the break "was a mutual decision." The couple has been seen regularly cuddling, holding hands and kissing over the last several months, but have never publicly spoken about their relationship.

They've always been friends. And they continue to be friends. There's nothing more than that."...
