· SOAPNET: OTH SET GOOFS OFF
We mentioned earlier this week that SOAPNet.com got a complete makeover, including their section of "One Tree Hill". As we said, they've added some exclusive video interviews with cast members like Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush, and this seasons newcomer, Michaela McManus.

One of the videos that caught our eye though, was a 'Goof Off' video! Check it out here to watch random members of the shows cast in various bloopers, making jokes and even having a case of memory loss. It's pretty funny!

UPDATES: Music from episode #516 has been updated!

· SOPHIA CANCELS CONAN AND UPFRONTS!
We just wanted to let you all know we got word that Sophia will not be appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien this Friday after all! She will also not be attending the The CW Upfronts next Tuesday in New York City. No one knows the exact reasons behind her cancellation, but it's rumored that she's getting her tonsils removed -- or she's filming a new movie. Those are two totally different and way out there reasons, but whatever the case -- we hope Sophia is doing well.

· SOPHIA & JAMES: COUPLE GOING STRONG?
JustJared.com - Sophia Bush and rumored boyfriend James Lafferty, both co-stars on "One Tree Hill", arrive together at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Monday.

The couple patiently waited for their luggage and for Sophia’s one-eyed pit bull, Patch, to arrive so she could load him into her car.

Late last month, Sophia, 25, and James, 22, were supposedly looking cozy in a corner at NYC’s Meatpacking hotspot 1Oak with her hand on his thigh.

Could this be another "One Tree Hill" real-life romance? (Sophia and co-star Chad Michael Murray were once upon a time married.)

When it came to discussing the drama on the show and the final three episodes of the season -- James doesn't think Nathan's had it that bad, when you put it in perspective. "I think one season Peyton [Hilarie Burton] cried for 13 episodes," he jokes.

As for the final episodes of the season, the actor tells us, "There's a lot more story to be told with Nathan and Dan -- Dan drops a bomb on everyone. And what's going on with Lucas's [Chad Michael Murray] storyline -- I almost guarantee that no one's going to see that coming.". [ READ MORE... ]

· ANOTHER ONE TREE HILL ROMANCE FOR SOPHIA BUSH?
Would Sophia Bush really make the same mistake twice?

The One Tree Hill beauty was previously married to costar Chad Michael Murray, after a whirlwind romance, but sadly split after only five months of marriage, when reports surfaced that Chad fooled around with Paris Hilton on the set of House of Wax. Now, Page Six is reporting that Sophia was getting cozy with the other male OTH heartthrob, James Lafferty, who plays Nathan.

According to the gossip column, the costars were cuddled up in a booth at 1Oak, with her hand on his thigh -- then they left together. READ MORE...

· ONE TREE HILL COMES IN STRONG

ONE TREE HILL SCORES STRONG WEEKLY GROWTH,
WINS THE NIGHT WITH TEENS AND FEMALE TEENS

ONE TREE HILL (1.4/3) was up week-to-week with F12-34 (3.1/8, +7%), Teens (2.2/7, +16%) and Female Teens (3.2/9, +28%). In fact, the veteran drama achieved its best performance since January 8th and its second-highest rating this season-to-date in F12-34. Additionally, ONE TREE HILL ranked #1 in the 9pm hour and for the night overall with Teens and Female Teens. It also placed second in the time slot in W18-34 (3.1/8) and F12-34, finishing among the evening’s top five shows in both demos. Furthermore, ONE TREE HILL held or built on its GOSSIP GIRL lead-in across all key measures.

· TV BY NUMBERS - RATINGS FOR LAST NIGHT
In the very early overnight results, Gossip Girl got a 1.8/3 - slightly better than its last original episode on January 9, when it followed the pitiful (and cancelled) Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants it got a 1.7/3 (household rating/share) and 2.27 million viewers. Notably, One Tree Hill which followed Gossip Girl last night got a 2.0/3 with no press, no buzz, and no Google ad spend.

Whatever the final overnight numbers, Gossip Girl will not have eclipsed 3 million viewers. READ MORE...

Looks like the paparazzi were hanging around the One Tree Hill set again! The snoopers caught Chad on the way back to his trailer, Quaker's rice cakes and strawberry Smucker's jam in hand while dressed in character --- well sort of. It's not everyday you see 'Lucas' wandering around barely clothed! Check out the pictures now at JustJared.com.

· ONE TREE HILL - 'WTF'?
We're sure you've seen the controversial "OMG" ads for Gossip Girl right? If not look to your left, for one of many.

We've gotten word from an anonymous source that similar "WTF" ads were made for One Tree Hill, which now follows Gossip Girl on the CW Monday s@ 9PM. However, our source claims that the CW planned on running both advertisements for new episodes of each show, but decided to cancel the OTH ones and only run those for GG. We think the ads for both shows would've been perfect together for promoting the all-new Monday night line-up! What do you think?

For a look at the unreleased One Tree Hill ads, check out our GALLERY.
