Well, fret no more. TheWB has you covered! This week on TheWB we have hot hot hot! summer episodes of your favorite shows, as well as new favorites:

The Lake: What happens when you get 6 teenagers together around a body of water for the summer? Trouble, that’s what. Watch the newest original directed by Jason Priestley, he knows a thing or two about teen hormones, watch the first episode here:

The O.C.: In Orange County it’s perpetually summer, which means tempers are flaring like the sun all day, everyday. Watch Season 1’s premier episode here as Ryan, Seth, Marissa and Summer (what a fitting name!) as they break each other’s hearts while looking oh- so good:

One Tree Hill: It seems so far away that the citizens of Tree Hill were in high school, but they were! Now that they’ve all grown up and gone on to some very adult things, watch where it all started. Watch the first episode of Season 1 here, and relive it all:

Veronica Mars: Remember when you were a crime solving teenager in high school saving your small seaside town from itself? Me either! But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch someone else do it, and that someone else is Veronica Mars. Watch her in action from day one here on TheWB:

Summer Glau
Why she’s a catch: On Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Summer Glau plays Cameron – a Terminator assigned to protect the future leader of the human resistance. She’s a robot, but her human-mimicking capabilities make her appear warmer than many a homo sapien! Oh yeah, and to further amp up her cool factor, Summer’s Firefly character River Tam knows how to make her way around a spaceship.

Moment in the sun: In TSCC’s “Gnothi Seauton”, she exhibits a striking combination of fortitude and compassion by admonishing a family of humans to “Remain calm”…before removing her face from the windshield of their car.

Summer Roberts
Why she’s a catch: The O.C.’s Summer Roberts is played by the ever-alluring Rachel Bilson. Even though Summer’s quip-filled relationship with Seth Cohen plays more like a handy tennis match than a fairy tale romance, she expects to be treated as a princess. High maintenance? Sure. Worth the drama? Well, Seth did name his boat – the Summer Breeze – after her!

Moment in the sun: In The O.C.’s “The Rainy Day Women”, she manages to make a lemon meringue bride’s maid dress look kinda chic. And that takes a whole lotta charisma!

With its food courts, arcades, and people-watching spots, the mall is a familiar and ideal place to escape from your day-to-day grind (unless you work there!). Still, very few people have ever witnessed what occurs in a department store once the lights go out. For that reason, it’s awesome that The O.C.’s  “The Mallpisode”, grants us an all-access pass to the shopping center amusements that come alive after hours!

Turns out that there’s a wealth of activities to keep you entertained, should you get trapped in a mall overnight. And thanks to Seth, Ryan, Marissa, and Summer’s nocturnal escapades, we uncovered some solid tips on how to enjoy yourself until the morning light.

- Get some fresh air: Exploring the inner-workings of a store’s vents might yield some surprising results.Seth and Ryan crawled through the maze of air conditioning tunnels in hopes of finding a way to escape the mall, but instead they ended up literally falling into the next phase of their adventure.

- Play without restraint: Without an audience, referee, or scoreboard, our four campers were free to battle each other in an unrestricted game of roller hockey. And since there were no true “out of bounds” markers, Summer and Marissa showed off their athleticism by aggressively pursuing the ball – even when it bounced down the store’s escalator.

- Gather ’round the (demo) campfire: While Ryan and Marissa rekindled their flame in a deluxe tent, Seth and Summer got heated over their apparent trust issues. Okay, so the pseudo-outdoors portion of the evening had it’s bumpy moments, but wasn’t the idea of the couples toasting s’mores over the faux fire beyond cute?

Have you ever spent the night in a public location? What’d you do to stay alert/alive?

They grow up so fast. Josh Schwartz, creator of The O.C., Chuck, Gossip Girl, and Rockville CA, is set to make his feature directional debut with a new adaptation of the 1984 novel Bright Lights, Big City. Schwartz is also writing the new script.

The novel was previously adapted into a film in 1989, and starred Michael J. Fox, Kiefer Sutherland, Phoebe Cates, and Pushing Daisies’ Swoosie Kurtz.

Congrats, Mr. Schwartz. This is just a suggestion, but how about Adam Brody in the Michael J. Fox role?

Ever wonder why a lot of Josh Schwartz shows like Gossip Girl and The O.C. have  such amazing soundtracks? A big part of it is music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who Schwartz teamed up with to create Rockville CA. As part of their cover story on Gossip Girl, Rolling Stone examined how Patsavas meshes music with the narrative in a story called “Gossip Girl’s Top Music Moments” I have a feeling the process works the same on other Schwartz/Patsavas collaborations…like Rockville CA.

We are debuting a new feature here on the The WBlog, called Follow Them , where we highlight a star from The WB as they explore the world of tweets and stalking with twitter. Today, we would like to highlight twitter rookie Mischa Barton from The O.C.. Mischa just recently launched her account, so if you were following a twitter user called MischaBarton, you were following a fake. A dupe, if you will. The real Mischa can be followed under the name TheRealMischa.

Of course, if you are a twitter user, you should also follow us at thewbdotcom .

Josh Schwartz spoke to the Village Voice blog with some more insight about how he came up with the music web series.

VV: Rockville is set entirely at The Echoplex and the Echo in Silverlake. Many music fans can remember a period in their lives when everything revolved around concerts and what bands they’re going to see, and where, and with whom. Was that part of the feeling you were looking to evoke?

JS: That was the idea. This is these characters’ home, and this is their lives. Some of them work more directly with bands in the music business, either in A&R or because they work at the clubs. Some of them are just like Hunter, who works in online music marketing, which, he doesn’t even know what that means, necessarily.

VV: But was it also because you really missed The O.C.’s Bait Shop?

JS: It wasn’t so much about missing the Bait Shop as it was about me being nostalgic for the time in my life, in my early twenties, when I was able to go to shows all the time and hang out with a group of people who lived that life. This was a chance to recapture that.

So basically, Schwartz is feeling old and wants to be Seth Cohen again. We get it, Josh. We’re getting old, too. But we’ll always have new episodes of Rockville CA to enjoy every Tuesday to help us feel young again.

If you didn’t already know, The CW is thinking of producing a Gossip Girl spin-off set in 1980’s Los Angeles, and centered on a young version of Lily van der Woodsen. Now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (creators of Gossip Girl, The O.C., and this possible spin-off) are considering having the young Lily cross paths with two characters from The O.C.: Kirsten Nichol (who later would become Kristen Cohen) and Jimmy Cooper. Does this mean all the characters from Josh Schwartz shows live in the same world? Can Chuck visit club Rockville CA? We’ll let you know any updates.

This is the trailer for the upcoming summer comedy, Year One , starring Jack Black, Michael Cera, and a bunch of other “cool” comedy people like Paul Rudd and David Cross. It looks like a great way for children to learn about history. And check out the hot princess. She’s played by The O.C. ’s Olivia Wilde.

Ok, so I’m sure all of the cast members of The O.C. don’t want you to get cancer, but Rachel Bilson is really going for it, teaming up with Jergens and the Skin Cancer Foundation. However, there’s a SHOCKING twist to this cancer and moisturizer tale. Read about it after the jump.

Here’s where it gets a little creepy. Jergens is going to give money to Skin Cancer Foundation, but you have to do something first .  You have “to promise to say goodbye to sunburn, tanning beds, and skin cancer risks for good-” so far so good, but it continues “-and say hello to gorgeous, natural-looking color with Jergens Natural glow Moisturizers.” So promise to use Jergens products, and they will give $1 to the Skin Cancer Foundation. That almost sounds like blackmail, but if you don’t mind signing a pledge to a cosmetics company, I say do it so the cancer people get a dollar.
