What Could Be Worse Than Murder?
Last week's Gossip Girl blew everyone's face off because, um, Serena confessed to being a murderess. So what will happen tonight, besides me squealing like an idiot for an hour straight? Well, of course, there's more to her stabby (I hope) secret, and, judging by a little teaser clip, Serena may tell more people than just Blair. Suddenly "best friends," Nate and Chuck are also there to help out, talking the blond off a (metaphorical, sadly) ledge. There's some other secret she won't tell them, and it leads one to wonder: what could possibly be worse than killing a person? My guess? Serena van der Woodsen did 9/11. Political! Or, you know, this clip is just a little bait and switch and doesn't have to do with killing people at all. Maybe she's a hooker! [From Us] Watch the "tantalizing" clip after the jump and judge for yourself. More »
Parents
Do you really like the grownups on Gossip Girl? Specifically, the soon-to-be-wed Bart Bass and Lily van der Woodsen (she of the murderous daughter and sodomite son)? Then check out their wedding website. It's bizarrely thorough for a website about non-major characters from a little-watched television show.

OMFG: Serena's Big Secret
It's amazing to watch a show wildly redeem and practically reinvent itself in one night. The episode, written brilliantly by Paul Sciarrotta (seems to be his first episode!), was funny and suspenseful and, um, downright shocking at the end. (Well, as shocking as a network television show about dopey teenagers can get). The jokes! The Waverly Inn! Page Six! Tinsley Mortimer! Sciarrotta, a Georgetown alum, seems to know his pop-ish topical New York stuff, something the show was sorely missing. And what else? Gays! Bitchiness! And, um, murder? More »

Lydia Hearst, Gossip Girl Literary Muse
23-year-old socialite-model Lydia Hearst's influence is diffused throughout the zeitgeist like a fine Evian mist. Did we know, for example, that she's "been called the real-life inspiration for Gossip Girl? (She just filmed a small role for the show.) Anyway, that's what she tells us that a magazine told her, via her Page Six magazine column. Then she makes us sit through an item about musician Joe Barney, who just "happens to be my boyfriend."

Gossip Girl Fails the SATs
Um, has anyone ever studied that much for the SATs? When I took that odious exam (back when it was out of 1600 points! I don't understand this new math! what's a computer?!) I just showed up the damn day of and suffered through it. And I did OK. Not great, but good enough. Even friends who took the prep classes weren't drinking cup after cup of fancy coffee and getting massages and looking at notecards and whatnot. So, all in all, the whole conceit of last night's episode of Gossip Girl was... well, wrong. That aside, though, things happened! More »
stupid controversies
Oh My F'ing Get Over It
Rick Haskins, a marketing exec for The CW was on CNN recently, talking about Gossip Girl's controversial "OMFG" sexy time marketing campaign. He claimed that it wasn't that racy because, while yes the images were a bit steamy, the initials could simply stand for "Oh My Freaking Goodness!" This is true! It could also, possibly, stand for "On Meth, Feeling Good," or "One More Fart Gun." Not quite satisfied with Haskins' answer, Brooke Anderson hit the streets, asking bemused people what they thought it meant. Only two ladies "in their sixties" didn't know that it stood for OH MY FUCKING GOD. Curse words and tepid teen dramas continue to threaten our youth. Whee! It's funny when both the outraged and the outrageous seem like idiots. Video of the important news story is here. [Videogum] More »

As Time Goes By: Gossip Girl Then and Now
As the days and months stumble on, it's hard to remember that long ago and faraway time when Gossip Girl, a television show about feelings, wasn't a part of our lives. Luckily for us, Us Weekly, a magazine about the daily sadnesses of not being rich and famous, has provided a photo album retrospective of our favorite bitchy, unfortunately acting Manhattan teens. So go look, and try to remember the kind of September, in 2003, when you didn't know who Chace Crawford was. Album is here, and the absolute best photo of the bunch is after the jump. More »
the suspected gays
As readers have reminded us, Chace Crawford likes to work out at the Chelsea Equinox, and the gays and girls all swoon. A tipster has sent the additional details that the Gossip Girl star also shows up "almost every early evening during prime cruising hours" and often hangs out in the steam room. Proof of nothing, of course, and certainly very far from confirmation of the rumors that Crawford is gay. But someone made an "m4m" Craigslist "missed connections" post that sounds a lot like it's from Chace, but probably only because it's supposed to sound like it's from Chace.

Loathsome TV Characters Fashioned After Loathsome Real Life Characters
Ever wonder what the inspiration is behind the fashions on Gossip Girl (other than "money" and "bright enough colors to attract fourteen year olds and macaws")?? Well Vanity Fair recently interviewed the show's costumers, Eric Daman and assistant costume designer Meredith Markworth-Pollack, and they divulged their interests and inspirations. Kate Moss, she of the cocaine-aura, is the inspiration for messy-chic Serena, while Anna Wintour and Audrey Hepburn inform Blair's buttoned-up old New York styling. Put them together and who do Daman and Markworth-Pollack envision? New York's favorite stream of consciousness-talking socialite, Tinsley Mortimer!

Gossip Girl In "Cleavage Kissing" Outrage
The media manipulators at Gossip Girl have successfully ginned up some conservative outrage over their OMFG ad campaign. WorldNetDaily and Parents Television Council are upset about the poster at left (apparently real!) not because it shows Nate and Serena hooking up but because it uses "cleavage kissing... to hype [a] kids' show... 'The Parents Television Council deplores the CW's deliberate use of profanity and sexual imagery to exploit and further corrupt young viewers," drugs are bad, strip clubs are bad, drinking is bad for teens, etc. etc. I just like repeating "cleavage kissing." Bigger picture of the scandal poster after the jump. More »

No One Watches That Show, It's Too Popular
Nobody watches The Hills. But even more nobody watches Gossip Girl. While not in the same time slot, both shows air on Monday nights, meaning they are inevitably pitted against each other by television writers, in some sort of useless garbage battle royal. Because fake truth is more interesting than strange fiction, The Hills' 3.75 million viewers easily outnumbered Gossip Girl's 2.5 this week. More »
