Actor Chad Michael Murray isn't beating around the bush when it comes to love.
Murray, 22, recently popped the question to actress Sophia Bush, his co-star on the series "One Tree Hill."
The two plan to marry next year.
Hitting the jackpot

Inside the bag was a treasure trove of Beatles memorabilia, including signed photos and unreleased recordings of "We Can Work It Out" and "Cry Baby Cry."
Beatles experts speculate that the discoveries belonged to Mal Evans, a former roadie and driver for the group who was killed by police in 1976 after wielding a fake gun.

Fibbing
Honchos at the Sci Fi Channel are admitting that they lied about being in a brouhaha with filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan over an unauthorized biography about a "buried secret."
