Scoops & gossip on Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Bones & many more!
Luckily GG is back this week with Seder Anything!
Still, here be some spoilers to tide you over until the next ep Southern Gentlemen prefer Blondes:
Serena gets more and more entangled with Gabriel. Chuck and Nate have to decide what will happen to their bromance, now they are slugging it out over Blair and Blair and Chuck end up spending the night together…
Georgina (Buffy alum Michelle Trachtenberg) is back on the upper eastside and she seems a whole new, reformed, religious being. Really? We´ll have to wait and find out…. (Georgina and Chuck? Surely not?!)
Jennie turns sixteen. Serena and Lily were planning a sweet sixteen party for her, but Jennie politley refuses, afraid nobody´s going to show up. Evil Poppy talks Serena back into throwing the party anyway, to prove she´s not stuck in a rut.
Serena wanting to prove “she can still throw a great party”?! She´s in HIGH school!
Nate breaks up with Vanessa. Actually, he was kinda mean about it, so no wonder that Vanessa got reaaaaally pissed off!
In the age old soap tradition, they try and make Blair and Nate jealous. Totally backfires, of course.
I´m sorry about Blair and Chuck, but I´m sure they´re not done yet! Vanessa is usually terribly dull and a lot less dull this ep. That´s good.
Memorable quote:
Serena: It all felt so high school.
Dan: We ARE in high school!
Wow, bet Dave Letterman is feeling pretty good about himself, having one of tv´s hottest stars suggest a threeway.
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.

It´s been a. long dry spell, I wonder if I´ll even recognize Dan, Serena, Chuck & Blair…
Oh who am I kidding? I was happy as a clam to see the promo video for The Age of Dissonance!
Doesn´t look like Blair and Chace, I mean Nate are getting back together though. And Chuck and Blair? Thankfully, Dan and Serena are really broken up this time!
Blair gets into a fight to the death with a new teacher who has the hots for Dan. Serena is jealous and feeling self conscious about her intellectual capacities. Chuck discovers something very interesting about his late father’s past.
It was ok. Ish. Blair going bananas is always fun to watch and I think Dorota should have her own fanclub. Then again, she probably does! Serena and Dan, breaking up for the umpteenth time, was mega-mega-boring. Luckily, that’s all done now and let’s pray to God and the GGwriters that they never, ever, rekindle that tired romance again.
Dan getting it on with the hot new teacher was kinda cool, and very un-Dan, not a very breaking the rules, living on the edge guy. Chuck would’ve been a much more likely candidate. Or Nate, with his history with cougars.
Also this frees up Serena for the next ill advised love affair, this time with a completely grown-up Italian jetset type. Apparently, things are getting really exciting by the end of this season. Which is about bloody time, because as much as like to watch Blair scheme and Serena prance around in swanky little outfits, we need a bit of action. Big thumbs up to the lack of Little J, now let’s see if we can get Vanessa to ditch those hideous canary yellow jeans… (you’re supposed to be poor, girl, not color blind!)
Shame we have to wait TWO WHOLE weeks to see the kiss of the season: Blair and Nate!

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?
More Gossip Girl:
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!
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.
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?
