Get Ready…Here They Come: The CW is HERE!!!

It’s not everyday that a brand spanking new network launches. So the launch of the all new CW is pretty exciting news in TV land. For those of you who have been living void of all forms of communication for the past year, The CW is the result of a merger between The WB and UPN. The CW now houses the best shows from each network. Well, techincally they aren’t the best shows because if that were the case Everwood would be still be on the air, and the dreadful 7th Heaven would have sung its last hymn. But in any event, I’m pretty excited and I hope you are too.

To properly honor the event, stars of The CW came together last night for a kickoff celebration. A party was held, and it looked to be a fun time filled with pretty people (yes, I’m talking to you Ryan Hansen).

Lucky for all of us, Entertainment Tonight was invited into the soiree and will be sharing some of their footage tonight. ET’s Ryan Devlin and One Tree Hill’s Hilarie Burton will host The CW Preview Special tonight at 9/8c. This special includes footage from the CW Network’s premiere party on the Warner Bros. Studio lot. Featuring red carpet interviews with the network stars, the show also includes exclusive footage from inside the party. The hosts will visit with Tyra Banks (“America’s Next Top Model”), Tom Welling (“Smallville”), Lauren Graham (“Gilmore Girls”), Kristen Bell (“Veronica Mars”), Tracee Ellis Ross (“Girlfriends”), Donnie Wahlberg (“Runaway”), Chad Michael Murray (“One Tree Hill”) Sophia Bush (“One Tree Hill”) among many others.

And you came to the right place to get a sneak peek at last night’s festitives. Check out these great pics of some of your favorite CW stars as they celebrate!!
