07.09.10  - SOPHIA BUSH & AUSTIN NICHOLS HINT AT ENGAGEMENT
Do-gooding, good-looking duo Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols hit Lexus' Darker Side of Green debate at Hollywood's Palihouse last night to discuss their recent trip to the Gulf.

"It was a very sobering experience," Sophia told me of their trip to the devastated region. "It was incredibly depressing spending time with the fishermen and all of the locals."

Luckily, she had her boyfriend and One Tree Hill costar to lean on.

"It is really nice to have someone there that cares about you," Austin said. "The first day we got back, she started crying. It was really heavy."

The two also got to enjoy a lighter vacay this summer with a trip to Hawaii. So, could the romantic destination and their characters' onscreen engagement lead to actual wedding bells?

"In real life? We shall see," Austin told me with a grin, before ducking inside to watch the debate.

NOTE: It's a day belated, but Happy Birthday to Sophia!

NO MORE TEARS AS HILARIE BURTON FIGHTS 'WHITE COLLAR' CRIME
Hilarie Burton had plenty to cry about on 'One Tree Hill.' To name just a few sad ordeals: Her character, Peyton, saw her adoptive and birth mothers die, got shot herself, and endured a harrowing pregnancy.

"We ran the gamut," Burton says. "Anything that you can think of, we did."

Burton now is relishing the chance to run the gamut herself, playing a tough-as-nails insurance investigator on the new season of USA Network's red-hot 'White Collar' (premiering July 13).

"This character doesn't cry, and I'm really excited about that," Burton says with a laugh. "As soon as things started going good for Peyton, I left the show. So if you want to see me having a good time and being quick-witted, this is the place to do it."

Filming of episode one for season eight begins tomorrow!
 

CHAD TO STAR IN A WILL SMITH PROJECT?
via Gossip Cop -- After images emerged of Tom Cruise and Will Smith leaving a West Hollywood restaurant yesterday, there was a ton of speculation about the nature of their meeting.

Many outlets reported that it "was for a four-hour Scientology event."

Other places, noting that a few other stars were there, including Anna Kendrick, Milo Ventimiglia, Chad Michael Murray, Eric Dane, and Johnny Galecki of "The Big Bang Theory," asked whether the younger actors were "the next generation of Scientologists."

So, was it a Scientology pow wow?

Nope.

Cruise, Smith, and the other stars were at the Saddle Ranch, which has a mechanical bull in the middle of the restaurant, for a table read of a movie called Paper Wings, which is being developed by Smith's production company, Overbrook Entertainment.

Our source, who is familiar with the project, explained that they "chose the Saddle Ranch for the table read because the story of the film involves a bull rider and a country singer."

It should be noted, though, that while those actors were at the reading, they haven't yet officially signed on to the film.

Sounds like a really good line-up of stars!!
 

HILARIE TALKS WHITE COLLAR, SEASON PREMIERE TONIGHT!
Tonight is the second season premiere of White Collar, on which Hilarie Burton will be guest-starring. To celebrate the premiere, Starpulse.com's Chelsea Doyle has posted her interview with cast members from the show, Tim DeKay, Matt Bomer, Marsha Thomason, Sharif Atkins, Matt Bomer, and of course, Hilarie Burton.

Hilarie's character Sara Ellis seems to have a past with Neal Caffrey (Bomer), when asked about the history, this is what Hilarie had to say:

Hilarie Burton:
You know they have a—I don't know how much I'm allowed to give away. Nothing. I'm not going to give anything away. But it seems that Neal has a past with everybody and I feel very fortunate to be one of the woman that he has crossed paths with, whether that's in a good way or a bad way. Yeah, I mean he certainly has made his mark on the city of Manhattan. And, yeah, I think we come in with a little bit of a history and add some layers to when our characters see each other again.

Chelsea: Are there going to be some romantic sparks between Sara and -?
Hilarie:
And Neal? Well God I hope so, that's a good looking man [laughs]. I mean, I think anybody regardless of gender, race, creed, wherever you're from, can admit that he is probably one of the Seven Wonders of the World. That man is beautiful and charming, so I wouldn't be opposed to that, that's ridiculous.

Don't forget to tune into the USA network for the season premiere of White Collar at 9pm/8c. Unsure of the channel? Check your local listings.

SOPHIA BUSH IS ECO-'CRAZY', CARRIES RECYCLABLES ON PLANES
via OnTheRedCarpet.com -- Not many people can claim they go to the same lengths as Sophia Bush does to keep the Earth green. The One Tree Hill admits she is crazy about recycling.

"I'm kind of crazy about it and have been for a really long time," she told On The Red Carpet's Chi-Lan Lieu at the recent "Darker side of Green" debate series event in Los Angeles. "I will go through the airport on two flights to get from L.A. to Wilmington or back, and carry all of my recyclables with me if they're not recycling on the plane."
She says, "I think the biggest step towards helping and 'greening' your life is to be aware."

Bush also said she's glad the green movement has become somewhat chic in Hollywood.

"It's great that people are realizing that it's not just a hippie thing to do, it's something we all need to do," she said.

Check out the video below where Sophia gives some helpful tips for going green!

CROWD RAISE: SOPHIA & AUSTIN URGE YOU TO DONATE
If you haven't seen the coverage on the news, in the papers, and online yet---BP has finally stopped the oil leak in the Gulf. Unfortunately we don't know how long that will stick...if it even will. In the meantime, there is still tons of damage and your help is needed.

Both Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols have created Crowd Raise pages to help raise money for the residents, animals, and land horribly affected by the oil leak. At this present time, between the two of them, they've already raised over $5,000. If you donate at least $50 on Sophia's page, she will personally send you an autographed photo as a 'thank you'.

Links to Sophia and Austin's pages are below.

SECOND 'ONE TREE HILL' FAN REUNION PLANNED
When number-crunchers try to calculate how much money a television or film production brings to Wilmington, most things are easy to count. Sales taxes paid on everything from food and lumber is simple enough. Salaries and wages, even though temporary, can be estimated. Then there are car rentals, house rentals, hotel room taxes and all the other day-to-day things that keep a production and its people going.

What they have a hard time figuring, though, is how much our area benefits in prestige and tourism dollars.

But when those number-crunchers sit down at the end of this year, they can at least estimate the amount of money the two One Tree Hill Fan Reunions contributed to the 2010 budget.

Organizer Christy-Anne Arancibia said she guesses each person on her tour spends about $600 during their three to five days here.

"That's lodging, food. When me and my husband came down here we also did things like the Henrietta, the horse and buggy and the studio tour," she said.

Their contribution to the economy will likely be the last thing on their minds. The group, gathered from fan forums and websites, will come from all over the United States and Canada.

The one thing they have in common is a raving affection for the made-in-Wilmington CW series.

Arancibia, a Miami resident, hosted 32 "One Tree Hill" fans in January and is bringing 14 more back for the second reunion July 24-26.

SOPHIA BUSH BOYCOTTS URBAN OUTFITTERS IN LATEST BLOG ENTRY

Sophia states as the title of her entry, "UO, I have been a supporter of your store for many years, but now I'm through."

07.28.10  - 'PRETTY LITTLE LIARS' STAR ASHLEY BENSON AND CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY CAST IN NEW ABC FAMILY MOVIE
Chad Michael Murray back on TV? It's true! Sadly, it's not on "One Tree Hill," but we'll take what we can get. CMM will join "Pretty Little Liars" star Ashley Benson and pop star/actress Christina Milian in the ABC Family original movie "Ex-Mas Carol."

According to Just Jared Jr., the movie follows a gorgeous public relations maven who is immersed in her work, but gets a wake-up call after one of her clients falls into a coma and becomes a "Christmas Carol"-like ghost of Christmas past, present, and future, making her realize the error of her ways and reuniting with an angry ex-boyfriend. Essentially, it sounds like "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" mixed a little more closely with the original Charles Dickens source material, with a lady in the lead.

EXAMINER: GET TO KNOW ASHLEY RICKARDS
The One Tree Hill division of the Examiner has produced a new interview, this time with former series actress Ashley Rickards ("Sam Walker").

Ashley talks about her most recent projects as well as her time spent on OTH. Check it out below!

You were on One Tree Hill for practically an entire season, what was a moment that truly stood out to you playing the role of Sam?

Ashley-The scene that was the most fulfilling was where I tell Brooke about my mom who works in the coffee shop who doesn't know who I am. It was special because I get to share with everyone what makes Sam the way she is, what makes her edgy and defensive and what makes her not want to get close to anyone. She just doesn't want to get hurt and prevents it by cutting herself off.

SOPHIA BUSH CONDEMNS URBAN OUTFITTERS' 'EAT LESS' T-SHIRTS
Looks like the New York Post has picked up on Sophia Bush's boycott of Urban Outfitters...

Kate Moss came under fire earlier this year for saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." A quote which became the mantra of anorexic girls everywhere after being emblazoned on a t-shirt ... one that only came in a small.

Capitalizing on that momentum, Urban Outfitters has made their own pro-ano shirt, which simply says, "Eat Less." Well this didn't sit well with the divine Sophia Bush, who took the opportunity to speak out "in defense of all of us who have ever looked in a mirror and felt less than fabulous" by releasing a very strongly worded public letter to Urban Outfitters...

07.29.10  - 'ONE TREE HILL' GETS FULL SEASON 8 WITH 22 EPISODES ORDERED!
TheFutonCritic just tweeted that we'll have a full season!!

@thefutoncritic: The CW at #TCA: In the scrum, Ostroff confirms LIFE UNEXPECTED pickup is only for 13, ONE TREE HILL has full season (22 episodes).

Looks like a season 9 could be possible!
 

CW PRESIDENT: 'ONE TREE HILL' COULD GO PAST SEASON 8!
CW won't hold court for critics until tomorrow, but I talked with CW president Dawn Ostroff tonight about her thoughts on locally filmed drama "One Tree Hill" and the chances of it continuing beyond eight seasons.

Ostroff echoed a refrain I've heard from her from years: Never say never, and don't underestimate "OTH" showrunner Mark Schwahn.

Me: "Is this the final season for "One Tree Hill"?"

Ostroff: "I have to be honest. Mark Schwahn is amazing. He has pulled rabbits out of the hat over and over and over again. The viewers are still there and passionate for us. And it's not just what they watch on air. They're streaming it (online). They're DVRing it... It becomes a matter of, will he be able to do enough this season to keep the viewers real excited about it. If he does, and if they are, we're happy picking it up again... We'd be game if it is still working."

So there you go. Do with that what you will.

OUR
NOTE: Most of you are probably shocked by this...even we are a little bit considering so many people said it was the final season--even though it was never confirmed. This wouldn't be the first time it has happened though. Season 5 and 6 had some trouble getting the pick-up, but season 7 got announced early on.

Sophia Bush
tweeted her thoughts on the subject saying, "So the CW said they might not renew us for Season8, now they say they'd be happy to have Season9?? Something's fishy here..."

Who knows, maybe we could be on our way to that 200 episode landmark. :)
