The fine folks at KWGN in Denver are hosting a Battle of the CW Hotties as we speak. Right now, the Women's bracket is up, but you can still vote in the Men's bracket as well. The second phase of the Men's competition launches Friday, and the second round of Women's matches goes up on Tuesday, February 18 -- so get voting!

Then there's an all networks battle to the death over at the South Florida Sun Sentinel, where CW stars are going up against the juggernauts from the other four broadcast networks. The Bad Boys division (which includes Chuck Bass, Dean Winchester and Damon Salvatore -- and Dean and Chuck are currently losing) is already off the front page, but you can still vote. Keep checking this page throughout the next month to support your fave stars!

* We know, we know -- there are those among you who sneer at such things, who protest that we should focus on the content of the shows and the nuances of the acting rather than the exterior facade of the people who bring our favorite characters to life. And we like to think we do that here... but that doesn't stop us from being able to celebrate the aesthetic pleasures these folks bring to bear. Are we shallow? Maybe. But we are having fun!

Our own Jason C. sits down with One Tree Hill's James Lafferty to get his take on the dark turn this season has taken. Plus, he gets the scoop on what James did when he found out Q was dying, talks about the father-son arc that Nate and Jamie have been on, and gets some hints about what's coming up for Dan. Warning: Extreme spoiler-phobes might hear too much, but we think this clip is fine for most viewers.

One Tree Hill’s James Martin Lafferty celebrates his 23rd birthday today! Happy birthday, James!

As the cast’s youngest member (until little Jackson Brundage came along) James was nicknamed “Baby James” by his co-stars. He was just 17 when they shot the One Tree Hill pilot.

You might already know that Chad Michael Murray was originally slated to play Nathan Scott. But because the actor had been abandoned by his mother when he was a child, he felt he could relate to Lucas’s character better. And honestly, could we ever imagine anyone but James playing Nathan?

He was the guy we loved to hate in the first season. Remember how cruel he was to Lucas when he was trying out for The Ravens? But the brothers came together toward the end of season one when they discovered they had a common enemy -- Daddy Dan. And at the end of the first season Nathan did something that changed his life: he married Haley. And his life would never be the same.
