I never got the appeal of David Spade, because the few times I watched that terrible “Just Shoot Me” show I found him incredibly annoying. Somehow he’s managed to score with Hollywood babes including Kristy Swanson, Lara Flynn Boyle and Heather Locklear, so maybe he’s fun to be around. The latest conquest of the height-challenged comic is said to be newly separated star of “The Office,” Jenna Fischer.

The 43-year-old comedian… is now seeing The Office’s Jenna Fischer, 33! “When Jenna separated from her husband… in September, she didn’t expect to start dating right away, but she met David at a party, and he made her laugh so hard that she decided to accept his dinner invitation,” a friend tells Star. Their relationship is “just light and fun,” adds the pal.

Jenna Fischer plays the second wife of singer Dewey Cox in the comedy Walk Hard, which is currently out in theaters. She said that she completely ripped off Reese Witherspoon’s character in Walk the Line for the role. She blogged about the film on her MySpace right before its December 21 release date, and said that working on it was a “dream come true.” As for the content of the film, she praises her co-star John C. Reilly professionalism and warns that the film “is very raunchy and sexy and the humor is hard core,” and that “ladies, we have penis.”

I so want to make a crack about Spade’s manhood now, it would perfectly wrap up this story, but instead I’ll talk about how into Christmas Jenna Fischer is. She said she loves decorating and baking and that she has three-step Christmas cards she bought at Target. As of December 21st, she was still working on some of them. Maybe she has a new guy to kiss on New Year’s too

Update: Fischer blogged on her myspace that she’s never even met David Spade and suggested that we pair her instead with other actors she’s never met such as Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell or Jake Gyllenhaal. I think I speak for all of us when I say that those guys should be so lucky. Our apologies for repeating this completely inaccurate story:

Over Christmas, I saw a report in Star Magazine that I’m dating David Spade. Imagine my surprise as… I’VE NEVER MET David Spade! What a milestone! My first TOTALLY 100% UNTRUE tabloid report! I’ve always been very cynical when I hear celebrities say that a story is fake. I figure SOME part of every story must be true right? NO WAY! I have no idea how they are allowed to get away with stuff like that! My publicist said that no one ever called to check the facts of the David Spade story. Which seems strange to me. I have a minor in journalism and I was told to never run a story without 2 reliable sources to back it up. But, while we are on the subject, some other people I’ve never met are: Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Brad Pitt. Maybe I can fictionally date some of those guys too?

Jenna Fischer is shown at the premiere of Walk Hard with John C. Reilly on 12/12/07. David Spade is shown at the opening of Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on 11/9/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

I like when random celebrities do random good things. It’s great when you have someone famous who’s always helping out – ie the Angelina Jolie and Richard Geres of the world – but it’s great when someone who isn’t always getting a lot of press for their good deeds randomly does something nice. It’s kid of the whole “random acts of kindness” thing, but on a celebrity-paycheck scale. David Spade recently donated $25,000 to the family of an Arizona police officer who was shot in the line of duty. Officer Nick Erfle had managed to beat cancer, only to be shot during a routine arrest in September. Spade, who’s from Arizona, heard about the crime and found it particularly cruel. He managed to get a hold of a bank, and was able to make a donation to cover funeral and other expenses for the Erfle.

“David Spade was so moved by the shooting death of an Arizona police officer that he donated $25,000 to the man’s family. The comedian and Scottsdale, Ariz., native, 43, said he was ‘hit out of the blue’ by the tragedy – and the fact that Officer Nick Erfle had overcome cancer. ‘It just struck me as such a rough situation just because cops in general get kind of a bad rap lately and people forget it is the scariest job out there,’ Spade told the Associated Press Monday. ‘I’m from Arizona so I’m always a little aware of things that are going on there.’

“Spade’s generosity has benefited his hometown before. He recently gave $15,000 to his alma mater, Saguaro High School. This time, it took some persistence. ‘It was hard to get through. It took me a while. I finally got somebody at the bank’s voicemail and left a message,’ Spade said. ‘I just thought I would throw something in the pile.’ Erfle, 33, was fatally shot Sept. 18 on a busy Phoenix street after attempting to arrest a man with an outstanding warrant. He leaves behind a wife and two sons, ages 5 and 3. Spade has not spoken with family or friends of Erfle, but said he hopes Erfle’s wife is able to use the money for the funeral or any other expenses.”

I think we’ve all made fun of David Spade on more than one occasion (he’s sorta asking for it with the way he insists on that haircut) but he’s done something really nice for total strangers, so I vow not to make fun of Spade for at least one week. Unless he gets back together with Heather Locklear. Then all bets are off.

Heather Locklear was said to be super pissed to see yet another one of her exes, David Spade, in a public clutch with Pamela Anderson. Anderson was married to Locklear’s first husband, Tommy Lee, in 1995 after his divorce from Locklear in 1993. It doesn’t look like Lee was cheating on Locklear, at least with Anderson, because they got married after only knowing each other for a few days and that was well after his separation from Locklear. Supposedly Locklear told Lee at the time they broke up that he could date anyone he pleased – except Pamela Anderson!

So Heather Locklear understandably dislikes Pamela Anderson and was none too pleased to see pictures of David Space kissing and rubbing Pam’s tummy. Locklear was thought to have had a recent relationship with Spade despite insisting that they’re just friends. What’s more is that Spade knows that Locklear can’t stand Anderson and that she’s strictly off limits as far as she is concerned:

Even though Heather, 45, has been seeing her former Melrose Place costar, Jack Wagner, for the past few months, she “flipped out” when she saw photos of David rubbing Pam’s bare midriff during a recent hookup in Las Vegas, say sources. And she really lost it when she saw another shot of them kissing at the JET nightclub in the Mirage Hotel. “Heather went ballistic,” says the friend. “When she split with her first husband, Tommy Lee, Heather told him he was free to go after anyone but Pam. Tommy not only married Pam, he had two children with her!”

The article goes on to say that back when they were dating, Spade was joking around to Locklear about how dumb Anderson was. Locklear can’t believe that he would go around and hook up with her given their history. Despite a new relationship with Jack Wagner, Heather is still mad at Spade for going after the one woman that is strictly taboo. (Well, maybe one of two women since she surely wouldn’t like it if he started shagging Denise Richards either.)

Maybe Locklear hates Anderson so much because she’s more like the former Baywatch babe than she cares to admit. At 45, Locklear doesn’t have much to worry about as she has it all over 40 year-old Anderson, who also looks great but needs to hang up the bikini and move on.

David Spade may be set to pop the question to bitchy hottie Heather Locklear. The mismatched couple has tried to lay low during Locklear’s high profile divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. Sambora is putting the blocks to publicity hound Denise Richards, who lived right next door to Locklear and Sambora and encouraged Locklear to divorce him.

Spade and Locklear were said to have broken up back in mid-May after a romance that hit the tabs in April that no one believed anyway. When these pictures of Space and Locklear at the beach [via] came out at the beginning of the month it seemed like the unbelievable could be true.

Locklear isn’t likely to accept Spade’s proposal if this is true. While Spade has defended her, saying she’s still “nursing the knife wounds in her back” from her failed friendship with Denise Richards, he doesn’t seem like a good match for Locklear. He’s a short comic with no sex appeal, and she’s well – Heather Locklear. She surprised her husband with divorce papers and she doesn’t seem ready to settle down again in a rebound relationship.

Here are Spade and Locklear at the beach and Locklear getting into her car on 4/13. [via]

I never believed these two were a couple, because there was only one report of them going out to dinner and kissing that got repeated a couple weeks after it first came out. Other than that there wasn’t much evidence and no pictures, although Spade did defend Locklear to the press by saying that “She’s still nursing the knife wound in her back” [from Denise Richards] He also did a dumb skit on his show about it, using paper dolls to pretend that Richards apologized for saying he dated Locklear before she split up with her estranged husband, Richie Sambora (video below.)

MSNBC’s “The Scoop” is reporting the relationship between Spade and Locklear is over:

Locklear’s ex, Richie Sambora, is still dating his neighbor Denise Richards, despite reports that the two have broken up. Richard’s rep confirmed that they’re still together and said that Sambora’s recent comment at a Bon Jovi gig in Germany, in which he claimed to be “Single and ready to party” was just part of his rock-star personae.

Now Richards is flying to Europe to join Sambora while he’s on tour.

That sounds kind of desperate and we’ve joined team Sheen in the Richards/Sheen divorce battle. With the latest news that Richards is starting her own children’s clothing line to directly compete with her husband’s business venture, she’s clearly out to get him. Plus, whose rep ever confirms a rebound relationship? That’s just lame.

As for Sambora and Locklear, we’re not sure who to root for because it doesn’t seem like anyone is at fault. Denise Richards can take the blame there as well.

Here’s Spade doing his dumb skit in which he pretends to talk to Denise Richards, using paper dolls to act it out:

Perez Hilton claims to have inside information from an Us staffer who says an upcoming issue of the gossip magazine will include details of the new romance between Heather Locklear and short comedian David Spade:

We hope it’s just a momentary rebound fling for Locklear, who filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years, Richie Sambora, this February. Sambora and Locklear attended their daughter’s softball game together a week ago, sparking rumors of a reconciliation.
