Ex-"LAX" star lands guest spot on "Legal"

Back in September, Heather Locklear probably would have chosen to look forward to May sweeps as the end of the triumphant first season of "LAX." That NBC drama has gone the way of the dodo, but Locklear has found a reason to stay busy, snagging a two-episode guest spot on ABC's "Boston Legal."

Locklear is slated to play a woman, dubbed "The Black Widow" by the media, charged with poisoning her husband.

A six-time Golden Globe nominee for her work on "Melrose Place" and "Spin City," Locklear's additional television credits include "Dynasty" and "T.J. Hooker," as well as a 2002 guest spot on "Ally McBeal." Locklear will also be seen in the upcoming Hilary Duff feature "The Perfect Man."

Daltrey has WB pilot

Daltrey, whose first acting gig was in the film version of The Who's "Tommy," will play the bad guy in The WB's mermaid drama, the showbiz trade papers report. The untitled project centers on a mermaid who comes ashore in Miami and decides to live out of water.

In recent years Daltrey has logged numerous TV appearances in this country, including recurring parts on "Highlander" and Showtime's "Rude Awakening," along with guest spots on "That '70s Show" and "Witchblade."
