Sophia Bush May Retire 'That's What She Said' Jokes On 'One Tree Hill'

For fans of "One Tree Hill," watching Sophia Bush make "That's What She Said" jokes on the show was a delightful experience. In fact as we mentioned earlier, Brooke Davis could easily challenge "The Office" boss Michael Scott to a TWSS-off.

So when MTV News got our grubby little hands on the star at the 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards on Sunday we had to get to the bottom of the phenomenon. "They've become this big thing," she said (and that almost felt like an invitation to TWSS her right there on the spot. We didn't, FYI.) "I'm going to have to talk to Steve Carell about it at the next award show that I see him at."

Sophia was very open to explaining just how Brooke Davis became TV's Best Female TWSS joke maker on TV. And, it seems her office is as addicted to them as the one that Carell stars in.

"It was just a joke written in a few times this season in a few episodes. They've sort of taken off… Everybody makes TWSS jokes. I think the reason being that our writers are making them so often in the writer's room whenever somebody says something inappropriate," Sophia explained.

Do you have your own favorite "That's What She Said" joke from either "The Office" or "One Tree Hill"? Enlighten us below.

'One Tree Hill' May Still Be The CW's 'Ugly Stepchild,' But Its 'Escapist Fun' Is What Keeps Fans Coming Back

It seems like there's buzz around every show on the CW, except "One Tree Hill." And the irony in that is that the show actually has more viewers each week than those other heavily marketed series like "Gossip Girl" or "Melrose Place." Even so, the celebrity residents of Tree Hill — most of which have been around since moving into the town in 2003! — aren't that worried about the lack of publicity because they love what they can get away with on a show that doesn't get put under the typical TV magnifying glass all the time.

"A benefit of being sort of the ugly stepchild on the network," star Austin Nichols explained to the LA Times, is that they can "go for things" like his "passionate, 'Fountainhead'-like romance" with Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) on the show's current season.

Austin's onscreen love, Sophia, thinks that the show's draw also comes from the fact that despite how successful the characters become, their core problems are the same as everyone else's. "The show this year is about the obstacles facing adults in their 20s and even late 20s," the actress explained. "No one can relate to being a rich fashion designer, but everyone at that age thinks, 'Who am I becoming? Where is my life going? Who do I want to spend forever with?' You get the escapist fun with the grounded drama."

Paul Johansson, who plays infamous baddie Dan Scott, admits that the show can even do things as crazy as have his character kill someone and then seek redemption as a motivational speaker of sorts. "Sometimes, I just put a script down and go, 'Mark's sick.' He's sick, you know? But it's an evil genius," Paul said referring to "OTH" creator Mark Schwahn. "We're never boring."

Part of Mark's so-called genius is keeping the cast grounded in a grassroots sort of way. According to the LA Times article, he and exec producer Joe Davola keep their stars busy with mall appearances, charity events and other kinds of promotional opportunities. James Lafferty, who plays basketball pro Nathan, admits he doesn't mind to work on his days off. "It's nice to interact with the viewers, to know that someone appreciates what we're doing all the way in North Carolina."

So, are you a big "One Tree Hill" fan? Why do you keep checking out the gang week after week?

Kate Voegele Taking 'A Fine Mess' On The Road

Fans of the CW's "One Tree Hill" are in for a double treat this fall. With the drama's seventh season currently filming, its musical voice, Mia Catalano, is both on the show and on the road in the flesh as Kate Voegele, who plays the singer-songwriter, tours to promote her sophomore album, "A Fine Mess."

"They go hand in hand; it's not like it's different entities," the 22-year-old Voegele tells Billboard.com about balancing the acting and music gigs. "(The CW) does such a good job of promoting the musical thing I'm doing. What's been incredible about the show is they really have been so accommodating of the fact I'm a musician first, and they give me time off if there's a tour like this or I have something else to do. Those guys are really the reason I'm able to do both and not go crazy."

Voegele kicks off her latest tour on Wednesday (Oct. 7) in her home town of Cleveland. "A Fine Mess" came out in May and debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200. She and her band have been preparing for the 30-show trek, which wraps up Nov. 15 in Chicago, and Voegele says she's looking forward to having a larger body of work this time. combining the "A Fine Mess" songs with selections from her 2007 debut "Don't Look Away" and also throwing in a few covers.

"I've always had a bazillion songs in my archive, but I want to play people stuff they know," Voegele explains. "Now that I have two albums' worth of material, that gives me freedom to compose a set that's more well-balanced and build a show rather than just a recital of some songs. The set's going to have highs and lows. More than anything I want to get up there and hang out with the audience, make everybody feel like it's fun and they're involved and are just, like, friends hanging out in somebody's living room. I went to see Carole King on her Living Room Tour, and that's the kind of feeling I'm aiming for."

Voegele will also be doing a bit of charity work with the tour. Her sponsor, the online University of Phoenix -- through which Voegele is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in psychology -- is contributing up to $50,000 to the Council of Greater City Schools, which serves 66 large city school districts around the country. The school will donate $1 for every one of Voegele's fans that texts a certain number, pledging support for public education.

"It's something cool that promotes a good message," Voegele says. "It's awesome when you have a platform like this and can be in front of a bunch of people and promote a message other than, 'Hey, buy my CD! Watch my TV show!' It's something that will make the people in the audience feel like they're part of something."
