My character is: "Obviously a bit of a computer whiz considering he's earned, like, fifty million dollars on the Internet. The amazing thing is that he has all this money, and yet he wants to teach college. That says a lot about the guy's integrity."

If I had fifty million bucks: "I don't think I would be teaching. That says bad things about me and good things about Andy. I think the first thing I'd probably do is travel. (Laughing) I know...I could become an archeologist adventure type like Raiders of The Lost Ark."

On being paid to bat those baby blues: "I don't think there's such a thing as fake flirting, especially with a character like Andy. This guy has way too much fun. It's easy [portraying] Karen's toy boy, er, I mean boy toy."

Making in big in America is: "Yeah, I guess you could say this is my debut. The only other thing was a blink-and-miss-it scene with Alyssa Milano on Charmed. I don't think that really counts. [One Tree Hill] is definitely a little more air time."

Maria Menunos-Jules

Rubbin' elbows with hunky TV actors like Chad Michael Murray is nothin' new for Maria Menounos. As one of Entertainment Tonight's most popular correspondents, this former teen beauty queen has so been there and done that. However, making out with hunky TV actors is a whole 'nother story. With her recurring role as Jules on One Tree Hill, Maria may have to be rubbing a whole lot more than elbows with hot celebrity guys and soon. "Right now, all I know is that Jules is the new girl in town and she's kind of fallen for Keith," explains Menounos. "Beyond that we all just have to wait and see." Sitting back and waiting has never been part of Menounos' M.O. Practically from the minute she hit elementary school this Medford, Mass., native has been on the go. "My biggest thing growing up was I wanted to get good at a lot of different things so that I would never have to be at anyone's mercy." Here, the self-proclaimed news junkie,gives you the full report on her latest assignment.

My character is: "A very fun loving, very live for the moment kind of girl."

So far, my favorite co-star is: "Craig [Sheffer]. Definitely! He is such a great guy. We have so much fun together. He's made me feel very comfortable and at home."

I am in love with: "Wilmington, [No. Carolina where One Tree Hill is shot]. It is very bizarre. I get off the plane and I take a deep breath and it feels like home. This is just such a sweet place. Everyone is so kind and it's so peaceful."

One of the unseen perks of joining OTH is: "All the sleep I'm getting. Right now I am doing an enormous amount of traveling. I love getting on planes because I am blessed with the fact that I can sleep on planes. It's the only time I really have to rest and not have my Blackberry rule my life."

The only thing I miss: "Are my dogs. I'm dog crazy. I have five. I volunteered at a shelter for a little too long."

All I am doing right now is packing and unpacking: "I have no idea what's in store for Jules. It is so invigorating for me to be able to do a role in an extended way. I'd done some guest spots but to be able to be a part of a family like this is just a blessing. Jules doesn't have a story yet. I think you'll just have to watch the show to see where it takes us."
