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

Who’s going to hook up with the new stud on 90210? Please say Kelly. — Rosemary
MICKEY: Kelly?! She will be his guidance counselor, Rosemary, you perv! Don’t make me go all “Palin” on you. As usual, I’m hearing that Annie and Naomi will scratch each other’s eyes out volleying for the tennis stud’s attention, but that his love will belong to Silver, who returns to feisty form this season. (Any suggestions for who should play Teddy’s Clooney-esque movie-star dad? I’m thinking Peter Gallagher would totally rock it.)

**Gallagher played Sandy on The O.C.

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 3

24 04 2009

Part 1, Part 2

Part three of my countdown focuses on a fairly new couple and one that still leaves me feeling heartbroken.

6. Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) and James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill)

sophia-bush-james-lafferty-couple-01

Reports that these two are currently dating started circulating in late 2007 and continue still to this day, though neither has commented publicly about it.

5. Rachel Bilson (Summer, The O.C.) and Adam Brody (Seth, The O.C.)

rachel-and-adam

Bilson and Brody began dating not long after The O.C. debuted in 2003.  Their characters had an on-off relationship throughout the series, and the couple themselves broke up towards the end of 2006 (though fans were strongly rooting for them!).  During their relationship, they lived together and co-owned two dogs. From a New York Post article: “They say, ‘Don’t date your co-star,’ but that’s who you’re around,” says Rachel. “If you’re in an office, and you see someone every day and you click well, you’ll start dating. It’s the same thing.” The two lived together, and after their breakup in December 2006, they divided belongings and dogs—Adam took pit bull Penny Lane, and Rachel walked away with Thurmen. “Oh yeah, during the divorce, that was a given.”
