SOPHIA BUSH SILENCED

One Tree Hill starlet left unable to speak after emergency operation.

Bush, 26, had her swollen tonsils removed and she is treating the down time like a holiday on - ice cream - by taking some well-deserved time off from the CW show.

"I had my tonsils taken out 10 days ago, so I'm not doing anything," she said.

"And I'm really kind of enjoying it -- aside from the pain!"
