Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray with Bethany Joy Galeotti
CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff is putting the best possible spin on the loss of One Tree Hill original cast members Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton, saying the show now has an opportunity to bring on new characters.
"We tried to get them to stay; we would have been thrilled if they wanted to," Ostroff told reporters at the CW's upfront presentation. But since Murray and Burton are moving on, Tree Hill must now ...

The new Melrose Place's Colin Egglesfield, Ashlee-Simpson-Wentz, Shaun Sipos and Katie Cassidy
At Thursday's CW upfront presentations, we got our first glimpse of the Melrose Place reboot. We saw a few scenes, and then asked the cast members about their new alter egos. But as it was just a preview, take these comments with a grain of salt. That said, it was simply the most important piece of television ever. Read on to see why:
Who's Back from the Original?
Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro are reprising their roles as Sydney Andrews and Dr. Michael Mancini, respectively. Though they've shared a marital bed in the past, they aren't a couple in the pilot episode. But Syd-Mike 'shippers needn't fret. Leighton left the door open for some future hanky-panky. "Sydney has most likely always maintained some sort of relationship with Michael," she teases. "It's been complicated, and that's not going to change."
Where's Amanda?
Heather Locklear has not yet agreed to appear on El Nuevo Melrose, but at least one former cast member is ...

Adam Lambert, Kris Allen
"You know, there are probably people who are better than me," said Kris Allen when the American Idol judges asked him if he was the best singer in the country during his Louisville, Ky., audition. And though the humble boy next door has now been named the best singer in the country — by Idol voters, at least — he hasn't really changed his tune.
"Adam deserved this. I'm sorry," Allen said, just seconds after Ryan Seacrest named him the eighth American Idol. It was a major upset in a voting pool of nearly 100 million votes. Allen's shock over having bested season-long frontrunner Adam Lambert was completely genuine, and it was nothing new. We saw that same look when he made it into the Top 3.
"I'm always surprised, man," Allen told Entertainment Weekly. "For me, making it through each week — everyone is so talented, and, I don't know, to make it through each week is crazy."
So how did this guy who viewers barely even glimpsed before it was down to 36 come out on top? "That's kinda who I am ...

Kate Gosselin
Jon & Kate Plus 8's Kate Gosselin says being stalked by paparazzi is "hell," and she feels the pain of celebrities who deal with it constantly.
"Before this, I'd never stood on line at the grocery store, looked at the people on the cover of magazines, and thought about what they're going through," Gosselin told People. "I'd never thought, 'This is totally doing them in.' But now, I understand what they live with: Everywhere you go you're being stalked, you're being followed — it's hell, on the cover of a magazine."
Us magazine's recent cover features old and new shots of Gosselin, with a headline reading, "Mom to Monster." The magazine reports that ...
