Murray and Burton Leaving One Tree Hill!

One Tree Hill stars Chad Michael Murrary and Hilarie Burton will NOT be returning for another season. Both actors have had very heated and high profile squabbles about their contracts.

Translation: They want more money and instead of being grateful that someone actually hired a failed MTV VJ and just another pretty face, they’re walking away for not getting what they want!

Both actors will make their final appearances next Monday on the season finale. An insider says that two new cast members will be included to take the place of the main characters.

Not that we REALLY care, but please…please don’t let it be current guest star Nick Lachey. The guy is a tool and should not be encouraged anymore then he is!
