Sexy, manipulative Chuck is back at the top of the list after he wrecks Dan’s literary career; Charlie Rhodes impostor Ivy loses everything, which serves her right; and Blair’s perfect life as a princess leading on two guys is getting way tiresome. More »
This episode should have been retitled “Dan and Blair Sit Around in an Airport and then a Hotel While Other People Wonder Where They Are,” but at least Blair stood up for herself and we now know the truth about Gossip Girl and the real Charlie Rhodes. More »
Blair loses out this week after abandoning her wedding reception… but Dan, who steals a limo for her a la The Graduate, nearly makes it to the top of our power ranking. The only person in his way? Georgina, who might also be Gossip Girl herself! More »

Happy 25th birthday to Penn Badgley and his cheekbones! Guess what I learned today? Penn’s middle name is Dayton. Penn Dayton Badgley — is that not the fanciest damn name you’ve ever heard? Anyway, here are 25 photos of the Gossip Girl star to print out and celebrate with. More »

Before we start with this week’s review, I’d like to take a moment to applaud the renegade visionary who titles these episodes. I know it’s probably a team effort, but I prefer to imagine a single crazed genius locked in the dark confines of some Hollywood back lot, sitting at a bare desk in an empty room, surrounded by scraps of paper filled with his abandoned ideas. He’s focused, eyes screwed shut, sweat gathering at his brow, thick glasses fogged with the escaping heat from his overtaxed brain. Finally, with his deadline looming, he captures that elusive muse, that inspiration, and he cries out, “Eureka!” More »
Did Penn Badgley never read the Gossip Girl books? Because Dan and Blair never get together in those. I don’t care if the TV show is different—you gotta respect the canon! More »
Unions, schmunions. What this movement really needs is more cast members from the Greatest Show Of Our Time. More »
Unlike his TV alter ego Dan Humphrey, it would seem Penn Badgley has been able to get over Serena and move on with his life. He was recently photographed canoodling with actress Zoe Kravitz (daughter of Lenny) in NYC, a coupling that seems to make much more sense than him and fashion plate Blake Lively. Click through for a kissing pic! More »
Joshua Friesen is a man in his 30s who’s obsessed with pop culture. This is how his brain processes Gossip Girl.
DAVID O. RUSSELL? Are you kidding me, Gossip Girl? Not six months ago, he was in a tux at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel hoping to collect an Oscar for directing “The Fighter.” Now he has a cameo on a CW soap opera? The only possible explanation here is blackmail. Remember, George Clooney once punched this guy in the jaw. O. Russell’s all over You Tube screaming at poor Lily Tomlin. By all accounts he’s a miserable human being. The producers must have something so terrible on him, something so heinous that he’s at their beck and call. Or he’s stopped taking himself so seriously and he’s just having a good time. It could go either way. More »
There are three flicks about dreamboat musician Jeff Buckley currently in the works (we wrote about them all here), and the first photos from Greetings from Tim Buckley, the film starring Penn Badgley, have hit the web. I’m trying to get on board with this casting choice, but all I see when we look at these photos is Dan Humphrey after a bender (two bottles of wine, in his loft, split with his typewriter), late for coffee with Nate on the Upper East Side. Here’s another set photo, compared to a picture of Jeff Buckley: More »
The list of nominees for the 2011 Teen Choice Awards is (no joke) eleven pages long. It’s like they’ve become the Oscars for the younger set — only twice as long! We don’t know how they’re going to keep viewers’ attention long enough to get through every single award. Hell, we could only pick out our favorite categories to give you our predictions for who will win best Hissy Fit, Villain, and Liplock. More »
Gossip Girl stud Penn Badgley joins Ginnifer Goodwin and The Misshapes as a model for H&M’s new ‘Fashion Against Aids’ collection. Charity and hotness, together at last. More »
When the photo agencies capture any of the elusive cast of Gossip Girl in their natural habitat of filming, the actors always look startled or surly. So despite the recent breakup of cast members Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, we shouldn’t assume the two have any bad blood between them just because they are glaring at the camera. The fact that they’re not glaring together should be a good tip-off though: Penn is chilling with GG‘s other female lead, Leighton Meester, while Blake is left all alone to walk in and out of coffeeshops. Sure it may have just been the scene they were shooting, or it may be representitive of real life tensions on the set. At this point, is there a difference? More »
We tried finding a new girlfriend for Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley ever since his split from co-star Blake Lively, but it looks like the actor isn’t the one hurting. According to real life gossip girls the Scene Queens, Blake was recently seen outside Penn’s apartment “picking up a shopping bag full of clothes” and looking “uncharacteristically schlumpy in sweats.” More »
Does this mean Gossip Girl is officially over? First star Penn Badgley said he was getting bored of the series. And today through a rep, he confirmed that his relationship to CW costar Blake Lively is done. It’s practically the end of an era. We’re sad for the couple. Mostly because their relationship in real life added a fun incesty element to their television bond as step-siblings. But more importantly, after the requisite mourning period has passed, who should Penn date next? It’s time for some rebound dating. Place your bets on who Penn should date next, after the jump. More »
