That has gotta mean something

Yeah hun,I just saw it but I already had posted but ITA

If anyone supported Chad,it was her.She was always by his side and making sure that he gets all the attention that he needs
I remember that video from Critics Choice Awards when she was pushing him to go take some solo pics and he didn´t wanna do it without her and he gave her that cute smile

Also when they were at the HOW premiere and in one of those vids it looks like she wispers that he needs to move and go take pics by himself but he just continues to take her hand and take her with him

of course it was

It does mean something it means everything

lol and it totally says it all and also to quote him and what he once said ""I just went, "She's the one!" Why would I bother looking any farther?"

speaks volume he knew he had found his soulmate and knew that there was no one would ever compare to her

awww yeah I remember the critic choice aways they have for pics on his own and its actually like he asks her if its okay its too cute because he doesnt want to leave her side not even for a second

yeah its true in the HOW even they were the same they just never seemed to want to let go nor did they ever

I think this is the last article I have for the moment but still its one of my faves I havent read it in so long

Im just gonna post the whole article .most of its Cs but some isnt but still its a good read

Google One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray, and you get 22,800 hits and tons of hearsay. But just how much of that stuff is accurate? We asked Chad to help us sort the facts from the fiction.

My first five minutes walking around New York City with Chad Michael Murray go something like this:
Girl 1: [Shriek!] It's you!
Girl 2: You're on that show! One Tree Hill! [Shriek!]
Chad: Hey.
Girls 1 and 2: [Shriek!!!]
Me: Does anyone have Advil?

I sense a headache coming on-jolting screams can have that effects on you - but Chad's completely unfazed. He signs autographs and smiles for photos while his co-star Sophia Bush, who plays the seductive Brooke on the show, holds clothes he took from our photo shoot earlier in the day. "Honestly, I have no idea why girls want to talk to me," Chad, 22, says, adjusting his red trucker hat. Gee, I'm guessing it's because they think you're hot and they're obsessed with One Tree Hill.

Chad, or CMM as we prefer to call him, stars as brooding Lucas Scott, whose dad took off when Lucas' mom was pregnant with him. Of course, since this is The WB, there's a twist: Lucas' dad fathered another son. Nathan (James Lafferty) is about the same age as Lucas and goes to the same high school. Follow that? Lucas and Nathan are rivals everywhere-in school, on the basketball court, with girls. One Tree Hill's bursting with love triangles, family drama, and Chad. Who wouldn't adore it?

Obviously the girls who stopped us in midtown Manhattan do, since "We love your show!" is about the only thing they've uttered. Once Chad gives out good-bye hugs (the girls exchange silent omigods), we head to FAO Schwarz. Chad's never been and wants to experience the massive toy store. Cute, right? There's less yelping inside, but a gaggle of girls still follows us around. It's freaking me out, and even Sophia raises one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows, but Chad keeps to looking at toys. He's either really in the Star Wars light sabers, or he's just used to girls' stares. I'll go with option B.

We're on a mission to find something to give away to a reader, and after I veto his idea for a remote-control truck, he picks out a gigantic stuffed dog. Then it's time to hit up Starbucks for some much-needed caffeine. On our walk there, I tell Chad I have no idea how he can be so patient with everyone who approaches. I certainly wasn't prepared for the number of people who recognize him. Call me naïve. I mean, this is the guy who caused a massive disturbance in Times Square when he and the other actors from the show appeared on TRL and more than 500 people lined the streets. Girls with signs says things like, "Chad, will you go to prom with me?" chased after the cast's Hummer as it left the MTV studios. Even though he's pretty new to the Hollywood It list, he's already got tons of fans, and there are bunch of rumors floating around about him. So we had to wonder-what is the truth about Chad?

Rumor 1: He dated Hilary Duff.
"Hopefully this is the last time I have to answer this question, because I get it all the time," says Chad, sounding somewhat annoyed. We're sitting at a counter in a window of Starbucks, and Chad's fiddling with the paper bag his banana nut bread came in. "But no, we weren't dating."

He and Hilary star in July's A Cinderella Story, and, according to Chad, the public appearances that spawned the rumors were just the two getting to each other. The first scene they did together involved a kiss, and because they weren't super comfortable with one another, the smooch turned out really badly. The director innocently suggested Chad hang out with Hilary off-set so things would go better during filming.

"So I took her to the WB Image Campaign," Chad says, sipping his white chocolate mocha with extra vanilla syrup. "I didn't realize people would -assume- we were dating."

But just because Chad isn't with Hilary doesn't mean he's single-or not dating a co-star. (I can hear your gasps of horror.) Yes for a few months he's been dating Sophia Bush.

When I ask Chad about this, he gives me a sly smile and says, "I don't know what you're talking about." Please. She came with you to our photo shoot and is right next to you drinking a soy chai latte. "I do have a girlfriend who's a beautiful actress and who's sitting very close to me," he says giving Sophia a cute smirk. "But I like to keep my private life to myself."

Fair enough. And anyway, I don't need to push him on the issue, since Sophia and I already had girl talk. While Chad was off smiling for the cameras during our photo shoot, we had a one-on-one chat. "He's going to kill me!" screeches Sophia, 21, when I bombard her with questions. But who can resist gushing about a boyfriend? "We started hanging out all the time as friends," she says, flipping her hair. "Then we realized things clicked. He's an incredibly romantic person and surprises me every day."

That's nice and all, but, uh, let's get to the juicy stuff. Is he a good kisser? "Did you see the episode where Brooke and Lucas make out at the bar? What do you think?" she exclaims, and starts laughing.

Rumor 2: His mom left when he was 10.
"True. My dad took over and cared for all of us," Chad says, referring to his siblings, Rex, 25, Nick, 21, Brandon, 18, and Shannon, 17. (He also has a half-brother, Tyler, who's 6.) "My dad did everything he could to get us through the days. It was hard, but we did it."

His dad works as an air-traffic controller, and while Chad was growing up in Buffalo, NY, they didn't have a ton of money. Instead of wearing Abercrombie & Fitch like everyone else at Clarence High School, Chad showed up for class in Payless shoes and JCPenney jeans. "I played football, so during the season I got respect, but that disappeared the second football was over," he says. "I was picked on because I wasn't like everyone else."

But a tough childhood is often the perfect preparation for playing roles. Part of the reason he's so believable in One Tree Hill (and we're not knocking his acting skills) is that Chad and Lucas have a whole lot in common. "You can't understand abandonment unless you've been through it," Chad tells me. "That's why I wanted to do the show. There are other similarities between me and Lucas, too-like he only has a small group of friends and I'm the same way. Loyalty is important to me, and I allow few people to get close." He's definitely got his guard up most of the time-I could've told you that after our 15-minute car ride from the photo shoot to FAO Schwarz. He barely said anything but was clearly listening; every once in a while he'd interject something into my conversation with Sophia.

Chad's particularly cautious when I bring up his mom's leaving. He speaks very matter-of-factly but doesn't give many details-like when I ask if he talks to her these days, he replies, "No comment." I totally respect that, though I have to wonder what it's like to play a character who's dealing with abandonment. Isn't it hard at times? "There's a scene when Lucas is telling his mom that he quit the basketball team because he didn't want to see his dad's face," Chad says. "That scene was so real and live for me. So many things went though my head. It's an emotional roller coaster, but I use it as therapy for myself."

Rumor 3: When he was in the hospital recovering from a football injury, a nurse told him he should model, and that's how he got started in the industry.
Not quite. "I wasn't injured because of football," Chad says. "I had a problem with my small intestines when I was 15." (Don't' worry, he's fine now.) "My nurse was a model and suggested I try it. I told her I wanted to act, and she said you can segue into acting from modeling."

That was all the information Chad needed. He found an agent who helped him get into a modeling convention in Orlando, FL. (Yeah, you read that right: modeling convention.) He made a few connections there and after high school headed out to Los Angeles-a bold move, considering his only acting experience was putting on skits as Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly for his family during halftime. "I took all the graduation money I had and cashed in a bond from my grandmother, which gave me about $800," Chad recalls. "I found a studio in North Hollywood and slept on a metal cot that the owner of the apartment complex gave to me. I had a 19-inch black-and-white TV, and The WB was one of the four channels I got. I saw Dawson's Creek and thought, What a great opportunity for young actors. So one of my goals was to start at The WB."

After five months of modeling for companies like Sketchers and Tommy Hilfiger, Chad scored guest spots on Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek, which led to the made-for-TV Lone Ranger movie and finally to One Tree Hill. Though he has upgraded from that cot, he's still pretty frugal. "I spend money on my dad because he doesn't have a lot. I also do what I have to do to put my brothers and sister through college," he says. I make some comment about how cool that is, and Chad just shrugs his shoulders. Ah, so modest.

Rumor 4: He's a ****y jerk.
"I've played jerks on TV, so people have misconstrued ideas," he says. "And first impressions of me are always bad." Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Chad was totally cool when I met him: He smiled and gave me a firm handshake-not one of those you're-a-girl-so-I-don't-want-to-hurt-you ones. I hate those. And as far as being ****y, sometimes he sounds a bit too self-confident (like when he talks about how his autographs make people smile), but he's a nice guy who's actually a little shy. Don't be fooled by that memorable One Tree Hill scene where Chad's only wardrobe was two strategically placed basketballs.

"Chad said 'No way' when they first asked him to do that scene," says his co-star James Lafferty. "I told him the ratings would skyrocket and girls would love it. Chad blushes a little when I ask him about it. "It was…yeah…I," he stutters while shaking his head. "I don't know what people want to see me naked." Of course, Mr. Humble would say that. Sophia says Chad doesn't even pull the I'm-the-star thing onset. "They made this show for him, but he's done a really good job of making everyone feel comfortable," she says. "On Friday nights, the whole cast and crew goes out. We throw parties at the basketball coach's house on the beach or head to the Rhino [a bar in Wilmington, NC, where they film] and then go across the street to get New York-style pizza."

Chad adds, "When you shoot in L.A. it's different, because you've got your family, your home, and your dogs." (He has a half-lab, half-white shepherd dog, Joe, in North Carolina, though.) "But all we have is each other. Everybody gets along." If that's the case, the E! True Hollywood Story: One Tree Hill is going to suck.

Rumor 5: He'll play Just Timberlake in the movie version of JT's life.
"What!?!" Chad exclaims, shaking his head. I try to keep a straight face but can't and tell him I made that up just to see his reaction. Okay, so maybe he isn't playing the 'NSYNCer, but he's still busy. This season of One Tree Hill airs through May, and then he's got A Cinderella Story out this summer. After that, he's not sure. "I want to dive into a character who's so far from who I am and what I've done," he says. "I've learned a lot over the past four years, but I'm not satisfied yet."

It's dark outside now, and the caffeine buzz is wearing off. I ask Chad if there are any other rumors he wants to clear up. "Yeah. I'm not married and I don't have kids. And I didn't have my makeup and hair crew fired." He gets quiet and think hard. Uh, what? "I'm just trying to think of any rumors I could start about someone on our show," he says, and then laughs. "Chad!" Sophia gasps in a don't-you-dare voice, and he flashes a smile and gives her hand a flirty squeeze. Maybe I should let them go off and shop. They've been debating all day whose stores to go to first (hers are Barneys and Saks, his are sports-memorabilia places). When we leave Starbucks, though, they decide to head back to FAO Schwarz. Chad wants to get some candy and buy a few things for his siblings. But FYI, Sophia, Barneys is right around the corner.
