Heather Locklear will not be charged with a felony following her domestic violence arrest last month, but she's not off the legal hook either. During her arrest on Feb. 26, Heather allegedly assaulted police officers. TMZ reported on March 12 that the district attorney charged the actress, 56, with four counts of misdemeanor battery on an officer along with one count of resisting/obstructing an officer. She was not charged with assaulting her boyfriend, despite that being the original reason for her arrest.

Breakup
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid's young love story is over — the duo has broken up. The singer confirmed the split on Twitter on March 13. "Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend. She has such an incredible soul," he wrote. "I'm grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time, we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ." A few minutes later, Gigi confirmed the news on social media too. Friends, though, still think there could be a future there. The Sun, which initially broke the news, quoted a source who said, "This is definitely the end for now, but this isn't a bitter split and they both have respect for each other… It's a mutual decision so no one has completely ruled out a reunion in the future, but for now that's not where their heads are at."

Breakdown
Police rushed to Tori Spelling's home on March 1 after receiving a call about a disturbance. TMZ reported that the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum was having a "nervous breakdown." A police dispatch tape, obtained by The Blast, referred to Tori as a "female" with a possible "mental illness." TMZ added that Tori was being very "aggressive" when authorities got to her home. Tori's new pal Corinne Olympios of "The Bachelor" fame said the actress was "overwhelmed" by motherhood. The Blast said the police response was triggered by an argument Tori had with husband Dean McDermott. A few days after the incident, Tori and Dean were photographed kissing on the beach in Malibu.

On-stage collapse
Tim McGraw is fine after collapsing while performing in Ireland on March 11. After the incident, wife Faith Hill took the microphone to apologize to fans and tell them that Tim had been really dehydrated. "I apologize, but I made the decision that he cannot come back out on-stage," she said. The next day, a TMZ cameraman saw Tim at New York's JFK Airport and asked him how he's feeling. "Good, man!" he said, adding that the collapse was brought on by "lots of flying and dehydration."

On March 19, Tim poked fun at his collapse on Instagram, sharing an underwater picture of himself spearfishing. "Hydrating!" he captioned the shot.
Pink or blue?
It's a girl! Although multiple reports indicated months ago that Khloe Kardashian was having a boy, the reality TV star revealed on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" on March 4 that she and her beau, Tristan Thompson, are actually having a girl. She later tweeted the news too. "I am now so excited my daughter will have forever best friends with Chicago and Stormi!! God is great!!! Thank you Lord for our princess," she wrote, name-checking her sisters' newborns. Khloe also admitted she and Tristan didn't have a name picked out yet (they had one ready to go if it was a boy though!) but that it will likely start with a T or a K, she tweeted a curious fan.
Family fight
This one is a mess. Tommy Lee is pressing charges against the 21-year-old son he shares with Pamela Anderson after a skirmish between the men sent the rocker to the hospital. Tommy said son Brandon straight-up attacked him, whereas Brandon insisted that he hit his dad in self-defense. Tommy posted an image of his busted lip to social media on March 6. "My heart is broken. You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you," he wrote. The whole dispute apparently started after Pamela spoke to Piers Morgan about her relationship with Tommy. According to TMZ, Tommy got upset and posted a tweet blasting Pam. Brandon took exception to that. Brandon claims Tommy lunged at him. Tommy countered, "My fiance and I were in bed when my son busted into the room and assaulted me. I asked him to leave the house and he knocked me unconscious. He ran away from the police. THAT'S the truth." Pam spoke out publicly in support of her son, alleging that Tommy is struggling with alcoholism (Tommy's denied it) and is a "disaster spinning out of control." She also said Tommy is "sick" and "the definition of narcissist/sociopath." On March 18, the case was sent to the district attorney's office.
Oscar theft
At the 2018 Oscars on March 4, Frances McDormand experienced a range of emotions. First, she won the Academy Award for best actress. Then she gave an amazing speech in which she asked all the Oscar-nominated women in the room to stand. It was incredibly powerful. "Look around, everybody. Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed," she said. Hell of night, right? But then things went wrong. While she was at the Governors Ball following the ceremony, someone snatched her Oscar. The man who stole it was even photographed with the statue. A security officer spotted the thief before he could flee and turned him over to police. The man was arrested for felony grand theft. Frances got her property back.

Change of heart
"The Bachelor" star Arie Luyendyk Jr. became public enemy No. 1 for the month of March. Here's how it all unfolded in its awkward amazingness. On the March 5 finale of "The Bachelor," Arie popped the question to Becca Kufrin in Peru, choosing her over runner-up Lauren Burnham. However, just weeks after proposing, he dumped Becca and let the whole thing be filmed for the ABC show. Why did he dump her? Because he said he wanted to work things out with Lauren. Fast-forward to the "After The Final Rose" special on March 6: Arie came face to face with Becca and explained that he'd wanted the split filmed so people wouldn't have questions. A few minutes after that, he proposed to Lauren on live television (with Becca still in the building.) "I have made some bad decisions, but the best decision was running back to you. I can't imagine a life without you," he said. "And I want to do this in front of everyone because I want to show you that I should have done this a long time ago." She said yes, and he told People magazine that they'll wed this year. Silver lining for Becca? She was named the next star of "The Bachelorette."

On March 16, Miles took to Instagram to reveal a picture of one deep wound. "I'm still struggling to walk but am slowly recovering," he captioned it. Liz, who's very close with her nephew, also updated her Instagram with news. "He was repeatedly stabbed and lost more than four pints of blood," she said in one post, adding that four men attacked Miles. "The deepest wound just missed severing his spine. By some miracle no vital organs were damaged." A few days later she said of Miles, "His wound is shocking, he remains in great pain and he can hardly move, but he is slowly recovering."

Andy Dick must stay away from his wife and their two children for the next five years, a judge has ruled. The Blast reported on March 19 that a court barred the controversial comedian from being within 100 yards of his family — he can't even go near his and Lena Sved's home. A restraining order sought by Lena was granted last month and will remain in effect until March 13, 2023. On Feb. 20, Lena filed documents in Los Angeles requesting court-ordered protection from the actor. She claimed that drunken arguments with their son led her to take action.
