Sophia Bush Tweets About Cousin’s Death

 Sophia Bush Tweets About Cousin’s Death

Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t the only one in Hollywood who had a personal connection with the Arizona shootings. ‘One Tree Hill’ star Sophia Bush was related to the nine-year-old girl who was fatally shot on Saturday.

She was my 2nd cousin… Devastating… RT @nytimes: 9-Year-Old Victim Was a 9/11 Baby, a ‘Face of Hope’http://nyti.ms/edOWPX

There are no words to explain what my cousin’s family is going through in Arizona. How can this be? Violence is never the answer…

If you know anyone who is struggling, please reach out to them. No one should feel so alone that they resort to senseless violence…

Sophia’s right: this was just tragic and senseless, regardless of your political leanings. My thoughts go out to the victims and their families.

Sophia Bush Hot Gossips

Do-gooding, good-looking duo Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols hit Lexus' Darker Side of Green debate at Hollywood's Palihouse last night to discuss their recent trip to the Gulf.

"It was a very sobering experience," Sophia told me of their trip to the devastated region. "It was incredibly depressing spending time with the fishermen and all of the locals."

Luckily, she had her boyfriend and One Tree Hill costar to lean on.

"It is really nice to have someone there that cares about you," Austin said. "The first day we got back, she started crying. It was really heavy."

The two also got to enjoy a lighter vacay this summer with a trip to Hawaii. So, could the romantic destination and their characters' onscreen engagement lead to actual wedding bells?

"In real life? We shall see," Austin told me with a grin, before ducking inside to watch the debate.

And believe us when we say Sophia's environmental dedication is the real deal. During the debate, which featured an environmentalist squaring off against a global warming skeptic, she couldn't hide her disdain for the latter view.

"I am so angry right now!" she was overheard fuming during his argument.

Another cuddly couple checking out the event: Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Although they walked the carpet separately, the two snuggled up on a couch inside.

Ashton Kutcher was also in attendance and didn't seem phased that one debator called him out by name for being a hypocrite.

Sophia Bush Loves Her Carbs

"It's weird: In our business, I'm a size 2 and considered curvy ... It's important to remind young women, 'Listen, even skinny girls have cellulite, even Halle Berry has cellulite, and what you see in photos isn't totally real' ... You can look up old episodes of my show and see when I was being far too friendly with the craft-services table ... I'm not a waify girl and never will be. I think it's healthy when fitness experts encourage fitness rather than getting a certain body shape. And I'm Italian - I love food. I'm not goign to cut out bread and pasta and wine to be thinner." - Sophia Bush in Health magazine.
