It's OVAH! Part: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give love a bad name.

I can't take all these break-ups. We're barely into February. And a distracting side note: how gorgeous is their daughter? --Melissa

Heather Locklear, 44, has filed for divorce from rocker Richie Sambora, 46. In a statement to Us, Locklear's publicist said, "After 11 years of marriage Heather Locklear has filed for divorce from Richie Sambora. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The couple wed in December 1994 and share a daughter, Ava Elizabeth, 8. Locklear, who most recently starred opposite Hilary Duff in the 2005 comedy The Perfect Man, was previously married to rock star Tommy Lee from May 1986 to August 1993. It was Bon Jovi guitarist Sambora's first marriage.

In December, Locklear denied there were problems in the marriage after rumors surfaced, telling Us that "everything is fine" and boasting that her husband had just given her a Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace for their 11th anniversary. [Us Weekly]

Oh, but wait a minute, Melis... E! Online has nastily delicious details... too good not to be discussed... Check this out:

In the Daily News in December, reputed Sambora insiders unloaded on Locklear, saying the former Melrose Place vixen needed "24-hour-a-day [butt]-kissing," rejected her husband's wishes for a second child and annoyed his Bon Jovi bandmates.

"If Richie divorced her," an unnamed source told the newspaper, "nobody would be heartbroken."

Hiss....OOOh...damn, that's harsh. I can't wait for the tell-all articles and nasty autobiographies... Bring it on! --Joan.

And now there's this:

Heather Locklear announced Thursday evening that she had filed for divorce — but it was news to her husband, rocker Richie Sambora.

More than an hour after Locklear's publicist spread the word that their 11-year-marriage was kaput, the Bon Jovi guitarist told ABC News Radio in an exclusive interview that things were fine at home.

"It's completely untrue," he insisted, adding that he had Valentine's Day plans with his wife. [

I think she's divorcing him 'cause she still looks like she's 25 and he looks like he's 60. You can never trust a woman!
