Michelle Trachtenberg

Evil Georgina might be returning to the Upper East side!
Last year we met with Serena’s former friend and arch enemy Georgina. When Serena was still a party girl the two used to sleep around and do drugs, but now that Serena has gone goodie two Louboutins Georgina finds sick pleasure in tormentng her.

Hey, anyone tormenting Serena is ok with me and I must say I liked Trachtenberg. As Buffy’s sis (where IS Sarah Michelle Geller anyway? Off having babies? Rehab?) she was a bit too sweet to be true, I like the more curvy, adult version. And her clothes are much, much better.

As with many evil doers, you wonder why they make such a song and dance of being evil, it would be so much easier to just get along.   Or find new friends to go drinking with. But wehey, we need a bit of action in Gossip Girl. Rumors are flying that Georgina is Lily and Rufus’ love child. What do you think?

Of course Georgie could be having a love child of her own, after her fling with Dan?

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore sure gets around in tvland! After a very public snogging session with Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick, the blonde actress seems to have her heart set on another sitcom star: HIMYM’s Jason Segel aka Marshall Erikson.

Segel, also known for his role as an actor and a writer on the hit pic Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Barrymore were spotted canoodling at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont. Not a very low key place, so they’re probably not keeping it a secret! They’d make a cute couple. Apparently, they’ve even karaoked in front of an audience together!

You think Lily’s ok with this?

More HIMYM:

After all the drama of the Madonna-Ritchie divorce, I thought it’d be nice to focus on the Best Couples of 2008! Here’s to Scarlett& Ryan, Leighton& Sebastian, Nicole&Keith and many more!

Scarlett & Ryan

Scarlett & hubby Ryan Reynolds

Sexy Scarlett Johansson (23) married fellow actor Ryan Reynolds (31) in an intimate ceremony outside Vancouver this September. “I believe in finding a soul mate,” Scarlett said in an interview. “I’ve always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It’d be too awful.” That Ryan is one very lucky guy!

Leighton Meester & Stan Sebastian

The entire Gossip Girl cast.

First Blake Lively hooked up with Penn Badgely, then Leighton Meester got together with Sebastian Stan and now Taylor Momsen has been seen playing toncil hockey with Chace Crawford! What’s with this show? Personally, I liked Ed Westwick and Drew Barrymore best. Unfortunately that appears to have been a mere one night stand.

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green
Aren’t they the cutest? The world’s sexiest lass hooked up with the tough Terminator slayer and the web just can’t get enough of these two! The power couple got engaged in November.

Nicole Kidman & Keith

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Their marriage got off to a rocky start when Keith had to check himself into rehab mere months after Í do’. Cynics assumed they would never make it, but the star couple have wheathered the storm together and that’s what marriage is all about! They are also the proud parents of baby Sunday Rose.

Michelle & Barack Obama
Michelle and Barack may not be the most flashy couple but they sure make good candidates for celeb couple of the year 2008! Not only do they look like the perfect couple, together they won the 2008 elections: the first black couple in the White House!
Way to go!

Sarkozy & Bruni

French president Nicholas Sarkozy & Carla Bruni
More political lovebirds!
It sounds like the tagline of a movie: after Whirlwind romance the French president marries the model turned songstress and they live happily ever after, in spite of naked pics of her turning up. Carla even recorded an album with a song about having sex with her new husband. Somehow, she’s managed to turn the French president into something of a rockstar himself. Quite a feat, so:Go Carla!

Reese & Jake

Reese Witherspoone & Jake Gyllenhaal

Reese and Jake tried to keep their relationship a secret for quite a while, but now rumors of an engagement are rife. Then again, if two Hollywood stars share a cup of coffee twice there’s usually rumors flying about an engagement or a pregnancy, so who knows. They seem happy though! Last November they tried to have a romantic dinner, but when they tried to leave out the back door, droves of paperazzi were waiting for them. Luckily, the chef came to their rescue, egging te paperazzi and yelling at them to leave the couple alone.

Gossip Girl Bart

The Big Bass is dead! Funerals are always good soap fodder, and this one doesn’t disappoint: Chuck runs around screaming insult and getting drunk. Blair tries to comfort him, but he resists her maternal side. Lily and Rufus want to be together and Rufus says he’ll wait for her.

I like that Blair and Cyrus are getting close, I think Blair is basically a family girl, who likes big thanksgivings and lavish Christmasses. Serena going all grieving daughter I thought a bit dodgy, because her mom was married to Bart for all of fifteen minutes and most of those minutes were rather unpleasant! Aaron has got to go. I thought Dan was a boring conceited, well, bore, but Aaron is much, much worse. Plus he desperately needs to shave. Who’d have thought I’d be longing for the days of Darena? I’m curious about the missing baby: would it be anyone we know? Could be Nate….. Or Aaron! Yikes. Jenny designing a bridal ensemble for the great Eleanor Waldorff I thought highly unlikely, silly even. But then I think the whole Jenny-story line should be scratched asap. Can’t she go and live with her boring mum?

I thought the final scene with Blair and Chuck was sweet, they really should get it together, though that would, of course, kill the series. Maybe in the very last episode?

btw: Chace and Taylor? Together? GG is starting to look a lot like a dating show for teens… That’s the third couple getting together!

oh well, no more GG til 5th of January!

Blair and Serena

It’s Blair’s eighteenth birthday!
Blair’s mom has a new boyfriend, who is not at all like Queen B. expects (come on B, your dad was gay! Being straight probably makes him a better boyfriend for your mom!) because he’s tiny and, well, looks like something from Deep Space Nine.

Serena and boring artisty Aaron are doing utterly boring stuff with maps, Dan is selling out Chuck to get into Yale and Little J is getting into a cat fight with model Agnes.

I know, I know, I don’t like Serena, but couldn’t she be a lot more unhappy. A venereal disease, a train wreck, something?

Sad moment: Chuck buys his dad a box at the Rangers and all his dad can say is “Nice gesture, but misguided as usual. I don’t have time for hockey games.” Jerk!

Funny quotes:

Blair to Serena: “Who cares about plaque or pretentious artists when your best friend is having a melt down?” (so true!)

Blair to Serena: “A guy starts in his blue period and it’s all great, but then he gets into cubism and it’s some other girl’s eye coming out of her forehead!” (you go girl!)

Gossip Girl: Serena & Nate

Nate and Jenny???? Really?
Why the hell is Blair dressed up like an Alice in Wonderland doll? To get into Yale?!

Anyway, Blair gets stuck with the young daughter of some old crone who might help her get into Yale (yup, Yale. Again) Of course the old hag LOVES Serena and can’t even remember Blair’s name. Yawn, yes, we get it, everybody loves Serena, now can she be hit by a bus? The young sweet child turns out to be a slutty teen out to lose her cherry and runs into none other than Chuck Bass. Though why he would be interested in a yikes 13, 14 year old? Kinda gross! Meanwhile, Jennie is staging a guerilla fashion show, which looked kinda ok. Gosh, why did I waist all those years in high school going to boring classes etc. when I could have started my own fashion line?

Gossip Girl TWBB was an ok episode, not wow, not crap, just average. Little J is getting a LOT more air time than anyone could care about, Blair is acting like an idiot, Serena is mooning over dorky artist guy (that failed tiny moustache drove me insane. And the stupid red scarf. Dan is starting to look better and better!) and Nate, gorgeous, albeit frightfully boring and stiff Nate, is into Jennie? Yikes. Isn’t that illegal? She’s, like, 12?

Anyway: funny quotes
Blair to Serena: The guy gave you a ring pop when you were seven, move on!
(so true!)

Jailbait Girl to Chuck: “By the way, my name is…”
Chuck: “Let’s not spoil the moment with you talking.”

Chuck & Blair

No HIMYM alas last night! Because of the world series? I don’t care about the world series!!!!! I want my weekly fix of Marshall and Barney! Anyway, there was Gossip Girl though, apparently Manhattan’s too chique to be bothered by a little thing like the world series and it was actually pretty good!

Serena and Dan attend Rufus art opening as nauseating friends, but Serena kills the mood by hooking up with budding artist Aaron Rose (those glasses. Yikes. I know, I know, they are the latest in eyewear and chic, still he looks like an idiot) Little J has to deal with Eleanor Waldorf, who is attempting to “borrow” Jenny’s designs. Sighing, saw that one coming a mile away. Also: she’s been working there for what? A week? Already the daggers come out?  Blair attempts to seduce Chuck, why?, who doesn’t want to sleep with her. Reaaaally? A 17 year old boy doesn’t want to sleep with a nubile young girl until she tells him she loves him?

GG hasn’t been my favorite this season, but I liked tonight’s unlikely teaming up of Dan and Blair, trying to seduce Chuck.

What’s with the hair though? ‘Shorter, blonder’? She looks like a druggie.

Best quote of the week? There were a lot of them, but this one really cracked me up:
Sorry J., but in the real world you can’t take a note to the principle when a drunken model eats your homework

Blair

Gossip Girl went all Dangerous Liaisons/Cruel Intentions on us. Nice try, but Blair gave up way too soon, and there was none of the tension. Chuck apparently took one look at wholesome Vanessa and caved completely. Jeez…..  Vanessa must be one of the most boring people on the planet and thick as three planks to fall for Chuck. Doesn’t she watch tv? At all?! And Chuck actually interested in Boring Vanessa? Puhlease! Even though even he must get really tired of Blairs stupid hairbands….

Serena acting like the spoiled brat she is was ok, but they need a new storyline, something interesting, an arc, can’t Blair get pregnant or something? Cause I’m BORED!

Here’s the working (or at least it was Megavideo sidereel link

The Gossip Girl Gang

I hate Serena!

So there, I said it. In this episode, like in the past few we’ve seen, everything goes her way, everybody wants to be with her, make her happy and apparently they even send her handwritten invites to please come to Yale? Reallly? She can’t have much of an academic record, so they’d be taking her for her, erm, hair tossing skills?

The gang goes to Yale, Nate to score a chick, Chuck to get with the skulls, Blair to live her life long dream and Serena’s just there to piss Blair off. Oh, yeah, Dan’s there too, but he’s so dull I forgot about him. So anyway, I like the thought of them all at Yale, however unlikely, and college girls hitting on 17 yearolds, it’s cute. Though having said that, if there were any 17 year olds visiting my college, looking like Nate…

But lets get back to hating Serena. I’m so with Blair, if I were her, I’d be hiring hitmen to bring her down. For humanity’s sake, Serena needs taking down a peg or two. How can she succeed at EVERYTHING? Marc Jacobs named a BAG after her? And how come the Dean of Yale found her enchanting? She can’t have had that much to say. Have you EVER heard Serena say anything remotely funny or interesting? Maybe she’s saving up all her good material for this type of encounter, but woohaaa. Can Serena PLEASE get a nasty venereal disease? Or at least a bad hairday?

Loved the catfight, loved Dan tied to the statue.
