**Thanks to Christy-Anne for providing the One Tree Hill accounts**

Here’s some tips on spotting a fake account: First, see if it has the Twitter verified seal on it. All celebrities have been encouraged to register with the company in order to show their legitimacy. If they don’t have the seal, check with TruthTweet and Valebrity, two very reputable databases of celebrity accounts. Lastly, check with official sites for the network, show and the celebs themselves. If they are not confirmed in any of those places, odds are they fake. Additionally, if the account in question is following any of the fake ones above, odds are that it is fake, too.

Being a journalist, I have access to the publicists and managers that most don’t have.  I will continue to contact them as necessary to confirm or deny accounts but please do you part: do not follow fake accounts but spread the word that they are in fact fake!

Exclusive: All Bethany Joy Galeotti Twitter Accounts Are Fake

15 08 2009

As I and Christy-Anne at OTH Twitter Bugs have been saying all along, there is no Twitter account for Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill).

I just got off the phone with her people–I will not be naming who specifically for the sake of privacy–who made it clear that Bethany is NOT on Twitter.

Furthermore, “she is not interested in any of that” and will not be getting an account anytime soon.

The only official place to hear from Bethany herself is her offiical site, although it will not be updated frequently as she is quite busy right now with The Notebook.

Let’s put this story to rest now, shall we?





News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, Gossip Girl and More

15 08 2009
  • One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and 90210 are all nominated for Best Family Drama in the CW Sourcies.
  • You can get a preview of the upcoming One Tree Hill podcasts.
  • One Tree Hill is having trouble securing the location for a scene involving a character jumping off a bridge.
  • Ryan Eggold (Ryan, 90210) appears as himself in the latest webisode of MERRIme.com.  Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill) gets a shoutout.
  • There’s a Gossip Girl ‘Get Up to Speed’ video to prepare for season 3.
  • Fashion designers Tory Burch and Georgina Chapman will appear on Gossip Girl as themselves.
  • MTV has an interview with Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl) on his role in Spread.

  • MTV called Gossip Girl the “definitive music taste-making TV show on the air,” “picking] up where shows like ‘Dawson’s Creek’ and ‘The O.C.’ left off.”  I would argue that the original 90210 and One Tree Hill did a lot more for music than Dawson’s Creek did.
  • Katie Holmes (Joey, Dawson’s Creek) is launching a clothing line in the fall.
  • John Driscoll (Blossom, Dawson’s Creek; guest star, One Tree Hill) is the Weekly Crush on SoapNet.




Random Question

14 08 2009

I recently posted the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s You Belong to Me, saying they fit perfectly for Joey and Dawson from Dawson’s Creek.

Now, after watching this video for The O.C.’s Marissa and Ryan, I’ve come up with a task for all of you.

What would or should be the theme song for each of our teen drama couples?

Is there a song that fits overall or works for a particular storyline?

Feel free to post links to videos or lyrics.  For inspiration, check out the videos I used in my Essential Teen Drama Love Triangles posts and Favorite Couples posts.





News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and More

Let’s Compare Scenes

13 08 2009

Introducing a new semi-regular series.

Let’s Compare Scenes will take a specific topic or event and see how two different teen dramas portrayed it.

Here we go…

1. Dawson’s Creek, Episode 2.14, To Be Or Not To Be…

Pacey defends Jack after he is humiliated for his sexuality.

https://dailymotion.com/video/x6ojhhy

(Start at 21:50)

2. One Tree Hill, Episode 2.10, Don’t Take Me For Granted

Peyton, in defense of Anna, takes a stand against homophobia.





Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

13 08 2009

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Who will Robert Buckley’s character be paired with romantically on One Tree Hill? —Jennifer
Ausiello:
A better question is who won’t he be paired with romantically. With only a handful of episodes under his belt, Buckley tells me that his sports agent alter ego has already “been kissed by pretty much every female character on the show. He’s a little bit of a playboy.”
