Heather Locklear (pictured top left) makes a welcome return to Lifetime this weekend in the heartfelt story Don't Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story. The movie depicts the changes in Kristine Carlson's life after her husband, Dr. Richard Carlson (the famed author of the book of the same name), suddenly passed away in 2006.

"I had it in my bathroom because that's where we don't sweat the small stuff, according to my boyfriend.
