So, first there was the unfortunate sex tape incident. Then there were rumors that Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester had become engaged to her boyfriend Sebastian Stan (well, they changed their Facebook status to “engaged”. I guess these days, that´s like putting an ad in the New York Times!) and now

Leighton Meester is also in a new music video, Good Girls go bad by The Cobra Starship.

Oh, and she has started work on Gossip Girl season 3. Yep. Leighton is one busy little Queen B!

Finally, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Blake Lively and Ed Westwick got back to why we love them: plotting and scheming in the Upper East Side on Gossip Girl! Boy have they been having busy summers:
First of all Leighton, obviously, had a turbulent time. Filming, having a sextape released and then there are those engagement rumors….

>>>Twilight: Robert & Kristen hook up after all?

>>>Gossip Girl: Michelle Trachtenberg gets dissed by Ashlee Simpson

Chace got voted hottest bachelor by People Magazine and started training for Footloose!
Ed got cast in Wuthering Heights! Looking forward to that.

Blake spent her summer looking fashionable and showing up for stuff. Also very demanding.
Anyway, the gang´s back for more Gossip Girl action, and I suppose that´ll be the silver lining when summer´s end rolls by: new Gossip Girl eps!

>>>Twilight: Robert & Kristen hook up after all?

>>>Leighton is a busy girl

Don´t you just hate those long limbed goddesses who even claim they don´t work out and eat only pie? Well, Blake Lively just made my hate-list! The gorgeous Gossip Girl star commented while on the red carpet with boyfriend and co-star Penn Badgely, that her workout routine is non-existent and she loves chicken pot pie.

Could have been worse, could have been chocolate pie….

>>>Obama´s First Dog disappoints

Wow, bet Dave Letterman is feeling pretty good about himself, having one of tv´s hottest stars suggest a threeway.

Gossip Girl hottie Blake Lively suggested a threesome to Letterman

last night on the Late Show

Last year Lively admitted to Dave that she´d always had a crush on him and that Letterman was in the same league as Leonardo di Caprio. Sure, dream on Dave!
It got the Gossip Girl Dave´s undevided attention, even while she was telling a rather longwinded story about a dog on a plane (?) so I guess that her approach worked.

>> Gossip Girl: Taylor Momsen shopping in style!<<

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 & 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!

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
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 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!

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 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.

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.

Aaah, I like it! People from different shows getting into a squabble!
Ugly Betty star America Ferrara started the cat fight by stating series like Gossip Girl, 90210 and the Hills set a bad example for teens in high school. “It conditions us to be mean” she said in a recent interview.

Also, at an interview she shared with GG’s Blake Lively, she didn’t exactly hide her feelings about Gossip Girl (hilarious video! Love it!)

Of course they are both stuck with contracts to do a part two for The Sisterhood of the travelling pants, a pic they probably both wish they hadn’t made to begin with. I think America should get off her high horse, like it or not, Ugly Betty is also about fashion: even though the lead star had braces and unbecoming glasses, she still works for MODE magazine, not National Geographic….

It’s one of life’s guilty little pleasures, the all new 90210. I really think it’s getting its act together. Starting out as a sappy family friendly show with well intentioned overall bad acting, I think we’re finally getting somewhere.

It helps that the focus is not completely on Annie anymore. She’s cute, but she’s so goody goody I hope that in good ol’ BH-90210 style, she’ll get addicted to something soon. Guess drugs are out after last episode, but hey, there’s always painkillers!

I loved the old show and that started out sappy too, and then from one day to the next they were all having sex (well, apart from Donna, but hey, she got addicted to pain killers!) and getting date raped and stuff. I think that’s just around the corner for the all new 90210. I’m glad they’ve moved with the times and are not advocating abstinence and carting everyone who ever has a drink off to rehab.

And they’re not all bad actors, Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) for one is ok.  One of the biggest beefs I have with Naomi is not her acting, it’s her age. She’s only 20 in real life, but she looks a well preserved 40. She looks older than her mom and a lot less hot, and this is the local IT- girl?

Which brings me to the biggest flaw: the clothes, the godawful clothes! These girls, Naomi, Silver, Adriana, they are supposed to be incredibly wealthy and hip, then why on earth do they dress like THAT? Last episode, uberpopular bitchqueen Naomi dressed in some kind of home made dirndl dress and Adriana, the budding starlet, in something off the rack at Walmarts’. Where is the Fashion? The Louboutins, the Prada, the Rodeo Drive bling? So far, the girls mothers look way more fashionable than they do and the guidance councellor fgs wears better shoes! Don’t know where you went to school, but I sincerely hope I was more with it than my guidance councellor. Then again, he didn’t look much like Kelly Taylor…

Anyway, whoever is in charge of the outfits @ 90210 could learn a lot from watching Gossip Girl. Or HIMYM.

Is it me or is GG struggling to live up to its reputation of hot, fresh, uberfashionable series?

The gals still look great but the story line is already getting old: Serena and Dan: puhlease! Why exactly did they break up? Ther’re acting as if Dan is the son of the poolboy, his father owns an art gallery ffs! Hardly the poor hungry masses. And is it me, or is Dan getting more of a self righteous prick every episode?

Serena as a character I find rather tdious as well. Love the hair though, just imagine walking around with a subtle breeze blowing through your hair al the time: that’d be great…

But apart from looking great I find her Micha Bartoneskly limited as an actress. Which worked for Micha, but was rather a bore to watch. Now Leighton Meester (Blair) is a much better actress and extremely pretty as well, but this whole “I want to be a good girl, but I accidently end up sleeping with bad boys” routine is getting stale as well.
Let’s hope things’ll be heating up soon in GG, ’cause I’m bored. Maybe the new, bitchy Serena?
