- The Daily News has a photo gallery called “TV Shows That Peaked in High School” and our teen dramas have the (dis)honor of being in it. One Tree Hill is given credit for skipping the college years, “which may be why this former teen drama is still on the air today.”
- There’s tons of teen drama content in the new issue of Portrait Magazine.
- One Tree Hill (2.59 million) did better than Gossip Girl (2.52 million) last night, but not by as much as they usually do. This was GG’s best ratings since January.
- Have any of you been to SoapNet’s board for One Tree Hill? Just curious since I’m not really liking it and wondering if anyone feels the same.
- Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) and SoGoPro did an interview with Say It Social Radio.
- PEOPLE.com has a Gossip Girl-version of Hangman.
- They also have a GG fashion quiz.
- Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl) was named one of the “25 hottest actors under 25.”
- Brandon (Jason Priestley, Beverly Hills 90210) was recently a “weekly crush” on SoapNet.
- Glamour has a great interview with Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) on Donna’s fashion.
- The Los Angeles Times has an interview with Matt Lanter (Liam, 90210). He says he has an official MySpace but confirms that all Twitter accounts are fakes.
- TVStar has an interview with Michael Steger (Navid, 90210).
- LoHud.com has an interview with John Schneider (Jeffrey, Liam’s stepdad, 90210).
- I like this recent tweet from James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek): “I thought I was immune to soapy drama after making it for 6 years, but I’m finding myself kind of addicted to “‘True Blood.'”
- Michelle Williams (Jen) is on the cover of the October issue of Vogue. You can read an excerpt of the cover story here.

Is there going to be a new psycho on One Tree Hill this season? — Jerry and Lana
MICKEY: Let me ask you this: Is James Van Der Beek a psycho? Because I’m hearing the erstwhile Dawson might want to return to Tree Hill. There’s a catch though. He’d like to direct an episode or two.

James Van Der Beek on Life During & After Dawson’s Creek
24 07 2009“I was pretty burnt out after six years on a series. And I don’t know that I was really ready to jump back in. One thing that’s happened, I will say in the past year, year-and-a-half is I’ve really started to rediscover my passion for acting and for being a part of a story and in a leading role capacity. So it’s fun. I’m really having a good time right now.
I think really the only thing to kind of avoid burnout is a level of appreciation that I don’t know you can really come to without stepping away from it for a little while. The hours are so intense. And the opportunities kind of come so fast and furious that it’s almost impossible to really be able to appreciate them to the level that you should. I was doing movies during the hiatuses and doing movies during and then doing press and photo shoots and all that kind of stuff. You know, and it was a six-year run. Is there anything I could have done to avoid it? I don’t know. I mean, I think now that I’m older and can kind of have a little bit different perspective on it, I’d like to think now that I can probably handle it not be burned out for so long.
I think also it started for me at age 20. I wasn’t in the place of really being able to handle everything that was thrown at me. And I came out OK, but what I would say for anybody going through it: “Just focus on the work, keep good people around you. And don’t believe the hype either way, good or bad. Just really keep it all about the work and make sure the people you’re surrounding yourself with are just high-quality human beings and you should be OK.
The one thing that I kind of came out of my experience with is a real compassion for anybody else who goes through the same thing. It’s very easy to stand on the outside and judge and look at people making bad decisions and say, “What the hell were they thinking?” Having gone through and been in the eye of that storm I think I would try to judge a lot less than your average person looking at somebody going through a train wreck.”
