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….

>>>Rob Pattinson GQ interview!

>>>Obama´s First Dog disappoints

Nate gets dragged to his estranged and terrifyingly wealthy Vanderbilt family by Vanessa. Blair is licking her wounds with Carter after being rejected by Yale and takes to letting loose (and shoplifting)

I like those GG eps where the friends get together to help one of the gang. This time it´s Blair, looking for ways to be a whole new person.

Seeing Chuck in a pink bow tie alone was worth watching this ep for!

Serena to Lily, who is writing down every guy she ever dated: “Slash?! Seriously?”

>>>CMM leaving One Tree Hill!

>>>Rob Pattinson GQ interview!

>>>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.

Mom and Pop come out with the ‘You have a half brother’ thing. The kids aren’t impressed. Dixon feels threatened, Annie is hurt. Ethan and Annie try to keep their ‘relationship’ a secret. Yeah, that’ll work!

Annie finally gets drunk, about time too!

Stupid bits:
Annie thinks Jimmy Choo is Chinese food? That’s not Kansas, that’s plain stupid. Did they ban all Sex and the City episodes in Kansas? Is it wall to wall Little house on the prairie? These writers seem pretty clueless. There must be hotter brands for teens out there? Jimmy Choo? Why don’t these writers check out the occasional Gossip Girl ep? Or simply read some gossip rag? Clueless!

Funny quote: Naomi: “Oh, no, there’s boys! Now I have to give a crap what I look like!”

Here’s the Sidereel/Megavideo link

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.”

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!
