SOPHIA BUSH SHOWS STYLE AT 2008 ESPY AWARDS

Actress Sophia Bush was a figure of grace walking the red carpet dressed in herone- shouldered bronze Fendi gown at the 16th Annual ESPY Awards at Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

Sophia, 26, wore a floor length satin gown with a long side slit and cinched at the waist with a black leather belt. She accessorized with a sparkling cream color clutch, black Jimmy Choo peep toe heels, diamond shaped Anthony Nak gold earrings and wavy gold bangle bracelet on her left arm. Her brown colored hair swept up and tied in a bun looked elegant but seemed to add age to her face.

Sophia was rumored to have dated Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo in late 2007 when they were seen together in Texas. In December 2007 she was reported to be dating James Lafferty but her rep denied the report. Recent photos of Lafferty and Bush together at LAX airport in Los Angeles have renewed past speculations.

In February 2008, Sophia made several appearances in Texas in support of the Barack Obama campaign and was later joined in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Waco by fellow actor Adam Rodriguez.

Sophia will be next seen in The Narrow, an independent film starring Kevin Zegers, Vincent D'Onofrio, Eddie Cahill and Monica Keena.

'ONE TREE HILL' STARS STEP BEHIND THE SCENES

The longer a television show stays on the air the more likely it is that the cast will get involved behind the scenes.  Starring on a hit TV series is great training to learn more about the business, which is why we've seen actors like Tom Welling (Smallville) and Paul Johansson (One Tree Hill) direct episodes of their respective series.  There's no better place to practice your craft and test out your skills in front of millions of people.

Following in the footsteps of Johansson, TV Guide is reporting that two other stars from One Tree Hill will be doing work behind the scenes when the show returns for its sixth season.

Chad Michael Murray is taking on the more arduous task, as he'll be taking a cue from Lucas Scott and doing some major writing.  The actor is set to pen an episode late in the season, and though we have no idea what it will be about or when it'll air, it should be interesting to see what Murray comes up with.  Will he give his character extra screen time and Emmy-worthy emotional moments?  Will he successfully capture the voices of the characters in the same way creator Mark Schwahn does?  We'll have to wait and see.

While Murray is busy writing for the characters, Bethany Joy Galeotti will step up to direct the actors for one episode.  Aside from Johansson, who regularly directs installments of the series, Moira Kelly (Karen Scott) has also helmed a couple episodes.  It's likely that Haley won't feature much in the installment directed by Galeotti, as it's usually tough to be behind the camera and in front of it at the same time.

Fans can look forward to seeing what their favorite actors can do behind the scenes when One Tree Hill season 6 kicks off on September 1.
