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.

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.)

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!
