The 30-Year-Old Man’s Guide To Gossip Girl: Memoirs Of An Invisible Dan
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 »

New Couple Alert: Gossip Girl‘s Penn Badgley Is Dating Zoe Kravitz
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 »
The 30-Year-Old Man’s Guide To Gossip Girl: Yes, Then Zero
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 »
Photos of Penn Badgley as Jeff Buckley Are Released, We Just See Hungover Dan Humphrey
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 »

Gallery: ‘Gossip Girl’ Set Photos Have Blake And Penn, But Not Together
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 »
Is Blake Lively Heading For a Post-Penn Meltdown?
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 »
Without Blake Lively, Penn Badgley Needs A Rebound. Who Should It Be?
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.

Your Guide to ‘Gossip Girl’ Celebrity Halloween Costumes
When it comes to dressing for Halloween, can you have any better style icons than the hipper-than-thou prep schoolers from Gossip Girl? It’s actually difficult to find pics of Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, and Blake Lively dressing up and trick-or-treating after 2008: Maybe that’s when the CW decided to put the kibosh on their golden calves going out in public dressed like slutty versions of something other than their own characters. Luckily, we managed to find a couple good ones from the first season of GG, as well as some pics of lesser-known characters playing dress-up. Note: Taylor Momsen is not in any of these shots because she treats every day like Halloween. More »
