TV Buzz The Gossip Girl threesome was incredibly boring, as far as highly anticipated PG-13 sexual encounters on network television go. Here are some memories to make up for it. (Cue Paula Cole.)
TV Buzz Bravo released a promo for its real-life Gossip Girl, which debuts in a couple weeks. The kids are whiny, I've been pining over the 3.1 Philip Lim dress they show at 2:00 for about six months now, and there are no one-liners. So personally, I'm not exactly “won over.” Bring back Rich Girls.
Style Buzz Anna Sui is doing a Gossip Girl-inspired collection! For Target! Viva la recession! There is a happy future of cut-rate tights and Vena Cava knockoffs awaiting me.
Music Buzz SPOTTED: Taylor Momsen aka Gossip Girl's Little J having her debut performance as the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless last night — and all of the blogeratti GG diehard fans were in attendance! The multi-talented teen (read: 15-years old) got rave reviews and joins her fellow GG co-stars who also have fledgling singing careers.
TV Buzz New York's Upper East Side can officially prepare for a tourist stampede, as the neighborhood will now be trapzed upon by denizens expecting to spot the stomping grounds of Chuck Bass and friends. Unlike the Sex and the City tour, visitors will be pointed less to cupcake shops and more toward STD hotspots.

The Gossip Girl star has announced she's releasing an album, and the first single is called “Birthday.” It's pretty cheesy, but might possibly alleviate some of that Gossip Girl withdrawal you're feeling.
Because he can. I honestly have no idea how Ed Westwick can rock both Ascots and skirts with such intensity, but whatever he is selling, I am buying. I'm also open to seeing Chace Crawford in a skirt in the future. FYI.
TV Buzz The spin-off will center on a teenage Lily van der Woodsen growing up in 1980s Los Angeles during the whole “valley girl” craze. You can only imagine what sort of hottie they'll get to play a young Rufus Humphrey.
TV Buzz The new show will focus on crazy Lily van der Woodsen in the '80s in Hollywood, featuring coke, rock and a younger and hopefully less sponge cake-like Rufus. But how will they work in product placements and contemporary music (aka product placements)? As long as there are a lot of class issues — the Valley vs. Hollywood, etc. — the constant mention of consumer goods will remain key.
The definitive Gossip Girl tribute rap. Sample lyrics include “I haven't been so attached to a voice without a body / since I heard Orson Welles read Rikki Tikki Tavi,” so if you can't handle pretentiousness, you've been warned.
TV Buzz The entire Gossip Girl cast is making out with each other! In addition to Real-life Dan and Serena (Penn and Blake), who have been doing it for ages, Nate (Chace) and Jenny (15-year-old Taylor) have been spotted making out, in fulfillment of their characters' prophecy. Also, Chuck (Ed) and Vanessa (Jessica) are apparently together, breaking barriers of borough and plotline. This is officially better than the show, because it involves statutory rape laws. Reality 1, Josh Schwartz 0.
Ed Westwick who plays Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl used to be in a band called The Filthy Youth. Ah, I feel so dirty for kind of finding him hot after seeing this clip.
TV Buzz OMFG. EW reports that the actor will star in an upcoming run of Gossip Girl episodes as Aaron Rose, Serena’s new, boho love interest. The dude (weirdly already a regular on teen heartthrob websites) has a background in skateboarding and playing the acoustic guitar…so like, typecasting, right?
TV Buzz Blake Lively and Leighton Meester will be appearing on 30 Rock in a flashback sequence that outs Liz Lemon as a former Mean Girl. And the battle continues between sexy glasses and …y’know, boobs.
TV Buzz Buffy’s back! …Well, kind of, as TheWB.com launches today, where you can watch old shows from before The CW begat Gossip Girl and America’s Next Top Model. Focused on its being a “user-empowered” community, the site will allow users to mash-up their own creations with bits and pieces from shows, which means that just maybe we can finally see Ellen Cleghorne kick some vampire ass!
Watch the first five minutes of the season premiere of Gossip Girl. The extended teaser is only making it harder to wait until Monday!
Last season the CW pissed off journalists and parents by using racy ads to promote “Gossip Girl.” Now the CW is using quotes from those critics in new ads. The posters superimpose critical phrases like, “mind-blowingly inappropriate” over images from the show. At this point Americans are sure to discover that these over-privileged fictional teenagers are having sex. Can we handle it?
Celebrity Buzz Madchen Amick of Twin Peaks joins the cast of Gossip Girl as cougar “Catherine Mason”. The 37-year old takes the roll of a Manhattan Mrs. Robinson to Nate. Catch her on the new season of Gossip Girl premiering September 1st.
TV Buzz A tumblr blog that collects fictional lost artifacts from the infamous show, like IMs and handwritten love letters. Here’s a must-read if you’re a Gossip Girl addict. Sometimes fictional characters get a little too real, though, like the times I used to have creepy dreams that I was Mulder and Scully’s third wheel.
TV Buzz Despite bringing you Gossip Girl, the teen network is having ratings woes. The Wall Street Journal says the network may disappear by next year if it can’t figure out a way to lure viewers. Here’s one idea: Do better!
