Quick -- Post Your Questions for The Cast of One Tree Hill!

2008-08-20T10:40:11Z

We just got an invite to the set of One Tree Hill in Wilmington, and we can't wait to catch up with the cast and crew. As always, we want your questions, but here's the deal -- we're leaving tomorrow (this was last-minute!). So if you want a shot at asking the OTHers something, you've got to post right away... like, within the next few hours. We'll be compiling the questions by early evening so we can catch our flights.

Be creative, and please keep it to one question per fan!

Check Out The 90210 Promo: What Do You Think?

2008-08-19T15:32:20Z

Check out the new 90210 promo hyping the September 2 premiere we're all waiting for! We'll confess that we've already watched it several times, looking for clues about what's to come. We're loving the nanosecond of Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty together (and wondering how long before we start hearing stories of tensions -- and possibly fist fights -- between the two again), wondering why Dixon got punched, and looking forward to Annie's inevitable confusion and angst. Our one complaint? No Jessica Walters in the promo! Come on, we're dying to see her take on washed-up TV star Tabitha!

Take a look at the promo yourself, and tell us what you want to see happen!

Exciting Gossip Girl Clips, Plus Pics from the Premiere Party!

2008-08-18T17:10:29Z

We're counting the days until Gossip Girl returns! E!Online's Kristin has some fabulous sneak-peak clips that have us salivating for the show: See Nate dive out a window in his boxer shorts to avoid a home-too-early husband, Chuck and Serena spar over his treatment of Blair, and, best of all, two clips of Chuck and Blair being incredibly Chuck and Blair-like. Both of our favorite baddies get one hell of a smackdown, and we're loving it.

Plus, check out these pictures from the premiere party in Marie Claire. Blake and Leighton look incredible, as always, and we're way into Penn, but what were Chace, Ed and Taylor thinking? Take a look yourself and tell us what you think!

Later today, we'll have more clips from the Gossip Girl Hamptons party last weekend, so keep checking back!

Are you anticipating new Gossip Girl as much as we are? What did you think of the clips? Were you horrified by anyone's outfit? Talk about it in the comments!

Last Sourcies of The Summer: Best Brother Moments

2008-08-15T18:26:34Z

Hard to believe it, but today's Sourcie is the last of the summer (sob!). While we're sad to say goodbye to the Sourcies, we've got something else to look forward to -- the end of the Sourcies means that new TV is almost here! Our shows will air their season premieres in just a few weeks (get all the premiere dates here).

We're finishing off the Sourcies with a special category for our two most rabid fanbases (and the two shows with the most Sourcies victories): One Tree Hill and Supernatural. Both shows have strong brother relationships at their core -- brothers who, in spite of their differences, are willing to make major sacrifices for each other. Check out the touching brother moments with Jason C., then cast your vote in the poll below!

You have until Thursday, August 21 at 11:59 PM CT to vote!

LAST WEEK'S WINNER: Congratulations to Supernatural's Lilith for her win in Best (Worst) Villain!

MORE: There's still time to vote for Best Cliffhanger! You have until Monday at 11:59 PM CT!

CW Fashion Rules: Red Tights? Make Sure You’ve Got The Charisma to Pull Them Off

2008-08-14T19:51:02Z

Gossip Girl is full of fashion statements, but one of the ones that stood out for us was the use of colored tights. Done wrong -- like when Jenny and her posse of mini-mes sported the trend – it looks awkward and fashion-victimy, like you’re trying too hard. Done right – like Blair’s utterly delectable red tight ensemble – it takes our breath away.

We’ve decided there are a couple of different components to making the look work. First off, you’ve got to have stunning legs. If your gams aren’t utterly perfect, the bright-tight look will be a tough sell.

But even girls with great legs can look awkward in bright tights. Here’s the hard part – you’ve got to be oozing charisma and self-assurance. You have to own those tights. You have to be able to stride down the street confident that all eyes are on you, and what’s more, all eyes SHOULD be on you, because you’re the queen of all reality. You’ve got to be completely sure that you’re the center of the world, and that is as it should be. Basically, you’ve got to be Blair Waldorf at her most, well, BLAIR.

If you’re not Blair – if, for example, you’re Jenny Humphrey – the look won’t work. You’ll be spotted as a poseur and a pretender to the throne. You’ll come off as a clown. So do it right, or don’t do it at all.

Comic-Con: Smallville's New Doomsday Speaks!

CW Life Lessons: Not All Reality Shows Are Signs of The Apocalypse

2008-08-13T14:34:46Z

A couple of nasty facts of television life: Reality shows make money, don’t cost much to produce, and continue to be wildly popular. They’re not going anywhere.

There’s a tendency to sneer at the idea of reality shows – they’re lowest-common-denominator trash! And they can be – look, shows like Crowned and Farmer Wants a Wife are more of a guilty pleasure than anything else. These shows may well be one of those Signs of the Televised Apocalypse that show up in the pop-culture bible (right after the rise of Paris Hilton and the MTV meltdown of Britney Spears) -- but that doesn't mean we don't enjoy watching them on occasion. We just don't expect to, you know, learn anything.

But we have seen the light when it comes to some reality shows that are (a little) more than just escapist fare. Beauty and The Geek in the first four seasons was actually incredibly sweet and uplifting, showing that people could get over their snap judgments and grow as individuals. America's Next Top Model is a bit of a guilty pleasure, but it’s damn good television – the fights! The makeovers! The tales of triumph over adversity! The completely crazy photo shoots! Granted, it’s been getting more extreme as the seasons go on, but it’s still something we can’t wait to watch.

We’ll tend toward good scripted television over reality most of the time, but we’ve had to give up some of our anti-reality bias. Project Runway, Top Chef and The Amazing Race stack up against even the best dramas on television. Because shows like this exist, we’ll keep giving reality TV a chance. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

9021-Uh Oh: Tori Spelling Peaces Out

2008-08-12T16:08:48Z

It looks as though Donna Martin will not be making it back to her alma mater due to some (what else) financial issues. Tori Spelling has decided to pull out from the 90210 Spinoff after finding out her former co-stars Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth will be making at least twice as much per episode than she would. While the money issue is kind of understandable, Spelling should also take into account the fact that Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh were ~~more important~~ more prominent characters than Donna Martin.

What do you think about Spelling's departure? Was the pay unfair or whould she be thankful for whatever they were willing to give her? Don't forget, the new 90210 makes its CW debut Tuesday September 2nd!
