story to be told with Nathan and Dan -- Dan drops a bomb on everyone. And what's

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.)

THE CW ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE FOR 2008-2009 SEASON
May 13, 2008 (New York, New York) - The CW Network announced a fall launch
date of September 1 and unveiled the schedule for its 2008-2009 season today at
a presentation and party for advertisers, affiliates and national media in the
Tent at Lincoln Center. The announcement was made by Dawn Ostroff, President of
Entertainment, The CW.
On Monday, the network will continue the successful combination of GOSSIP GIRL
and ONE TREE HILL. GOSSIP GIRL was the most buzz-worthy show of last
season and had the highest concentration of female teens of any series on
broadcast television. GOSSIP GIRL will return to its 8:00-9:00 p.m. slot,
followed by ONE TREE HILL from 9:00-10:00 p.m. ONE TREE HILL's
loyal fan base is the second youngest on television, and the series continued to
grow last season despite its time period move.
There you have it! According to The CW Network's Press Release, OTH will
continue to air on Monday nights at 9pm with their sixth season. Exciting!!

SIXTH SEASON PREMIERE DATE!
According to the press release posted yesterday from The CW, the new season of
shows will kick off on September 1st. Considering that date is a Monday and
One Tree Hill will continue to air Monday nights, our OTH insider informs us
that it's pretty safe to say OTH's 6th season will kick off September 1, 2008
at 9:00pm following Gossip Girl!
Keep in mind that the date is subject to change. Stay logged onto OTHWEBnet for
more information about the season 6 as it confirms!
In the meantime, don't forget to watch OTH's fifth season finale this Monday,
May 19th at 9pm only on The CW!
CHAD TO REPLACE JENSEN ON SUPERNATURAL?
We'd like to address a rumor that's not only been floating around, but we've
been emailed about numerous times over the last week.
"Chad is leaving OTH to join Supernatural!"
This was in fact said, but please understand that it's NOT TRUE!
Supernatural's creator, Eric Kripke did chat with
TVGuide.com and say the following:
"Yes, Jensen wanted to focus on movies, and he wouldn't give me the 25 percent
salary kickback I demanded, so he's leaving the series. Chad Michael Murray
is joining the cast to replace him, and next year will be like that season
on Dukes of Hazzard where it was Vance and Coy instead of Bo and Luke.
Everything's gonna be a little bit off, but it'll be good...I think you'll like
it."
He was only joking! One Tree Hill is returning this fall for the CW
2008-2009 line-up with their sixth season and Chad - as always - will be apart
of it. Again, Chad is NOT leaving One Tree Hill to join
Supernatural. While he has mentioned in the past that he'd like to appear on
the series (maybe in a guest-starring role) with his friend Jared Padalecki,
he's not going to be apart of the cast. Hope that puts your mind at ease!
