One árvore colina | Tribute

Big news, One árvore colina fans. We just got back from visiting the Wilmington, NC set of "One árvore Hill," where a particularly coy Sophia arbusto, bush teased, "You're going to meet someone who's very relevant to Brooke's life who you've wanted to see for 8 years."

After 8 years on the show, Sophia's gotten good at keeping her secrets. Fortunately for you all, we are not so good. Zap2it has confirmed that Richard Burgi will play Brooke's wealthy absentee dad, who will make his first appearance on screen after being absent from the biggest moments in Brooke's life. He's a recurring guest, so we can expect...

New mom Hilarie burton (formerly of One árvore Hill) is breaking her silence -- just a tad -- about the baby boy she and boyfriend Jeffrey Dean morgan (The Watchmen) secretly welcomed earlier this year.

As first revealed in Us Weekly in May, Burton, 28, began dating Morgan, 44, in 2009, and "their relationship moved pretty quickly," an insider told Us. The actress was not photographed in public between May 6, 2009 and April 20, 2010, when she and morgan went public with their romance at an L.A. film premiere.
