Nathan’s scandal becomes public and worst of all, Jamie finds out about it. In the preview for “One Tree Hill” episode “Believe Me, I’m Lying“, Jamie asks Haley what’s the meaning of “lovechild” which is written on the front cover of a tabloid bearing Nathan’s picture with Renee.

Jana Kramer is crossing from “90210” to “One Tree Hill” starring as an actress named Alex who becomes the new face of Brooke’s clothing line, Clothes Over Bros. “Jana is so charismatic and fun as Alex, an actress who has been chosen to model for Brooke’s clothing line,” creator Mark Schwahn gave a comment on the guest star.

In the episode called “What Are You Willing to Lose“, Clay defends Nathan against a growing scandal. Kate French, who previously appeared on “Gossip Girl“, is guest starring as the girl who spreads scandalous photos of her and Nathan and threatens to destroy his reputation as an NBA player.

Also, while in the process of recording her new album, Haley battles to protect Red Bedroom Records with the help of Mia. Julian and Brooke decide to move in together while Dan unveils his new bride. “What Are You Willing to Lose” airs September 21.

The bad girl is back in town. Next week on “One Tree Hill“, Rachel Gatina will mess up somebody’s life with her eccentricities. A preview has been released for the episode which is titled “What Are You Willing to Lose” and it also shows the first look of India de Beaufort as Miranda Stone, the new record executive.

Also in the episode, Brooke looks for a model as the new face of Clothes Over Bros. Mia and Haley fall short of selling a million records while Dan finds a confidant in an unlikely person. Nathan deals with being distant from the ones he loves and Clayton reminds him he’s in the NBA. And Tree Hill is shaken up again, when death comes on their way.

The seventh season officially kicked off on Monday, September 14. With the departures of Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton, the show is taking in new cast including Robert Buckley and Shantel VanSanten who play Nathan’s sport agent and Haley’s sister respectively.

Brooke Davis and Julian Baker are not the only ones hooking up for One Tree Hill season 7. Their real-life counterparts, Sophia Bush, 27, and Austin Nichols, 29, have rekindled their off-screen romance recently, and have taken their affair to the East Coast.

The One Tree Hill couple, who started dating in 2006 and split earlier this year, were spotted last week sharing a cold dessert together at Soho’s Pop Yogurt. They also dined at Georgica Restaurant and Lounge in East Hampton on Friday. And while neither party has confirmed the sweet reunion, an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com that they were very much a couple.

“Sophia and Austin were with their three friends but they may as well have been on their own. They were very affectionate with each other. They were cuddled close together all night, sneaking kisses and acting very loving. There was lots of hand holding and Austin spent much of the night rubbing Sophia’s thigh. There’s no doubting they are together romantically, they look crazy in love and they make a really cute couple! They must really like the restaurant because they came back the next night, just the two of them,” the eyewitness said.

Seeing Bush and Nichols hooking up isn’t really that surprising. Bush seems to have that charming personality that easily attracts the people she works with, beginning with Chad Michael Murray —her One Tree Hill co-star whom she married in 2005 and divorced a year later, co-star James Lafferty — a relationship she denied though Murray confirmed the romance, and now with Austin Nichols.

Meanwhile, their on-screen counterparts’ fiery relationship seems to be going strong when One Tree Hill kicks off its seventh season on September 14. And if you want to learn more about them, check out these photos:
