Leighton Meester and Cobra Starship “Good Girls Go Bad” video
July 3, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Leighton Meester, who plays Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, really let loose on Cobra Starship’s new video “Good Girls Go Bad.” The song is awesome, Leighton’s voice is really good and getting good reviews, and the video itself is pretty cool! And doesn’t Gabe from Cobra Starship look awesome in his white sunglasses!
Ever since we got a sneak peek of the video and track, it’s been a favorite of mine. It’s just one of those songs that I can listen to over and over without it getting old.
And it’s kinda fitting for Blair’s character as well, since she is paired up with Gossip Girl bad boy Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). Chuck Bass definitely makes good girls go bad.… I wonder if they will feature the song on any of season three’s episodes.
Gossip Girl has returned to filming for season three, but during the break Leighton worked on her solo music album which should be coming out in the near future. I’m glad she took up this musical endeavor with Cobra Starship and look forward to more of her music.
Gossip Girl stars film scenes for season 3
July 2, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Our favorite Gossip Girl stars are back on set filming for season three!
Ed Westwick (Chuck) and Leighton Meester (Blair) look pretty happy in the photos taken on the set in New York City on Monday. I wonder what their script reads like though? Are they happy and getting along? I love Blair’s very summery floral dress and it seems to go well with Chuck’s outfit.

In the photo below, Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford (Nate) admire a red Ferrari. According to Pacific Coast News, Chuck gives Nate the car.

Also on set was Blake Lively (Serena) in a robe. Follow the jump for more photos:
Hilary Duff to guest star on Gossip Girl
July 1, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Hilary Duff is joining Gossip Girl for a multi-episode arc, according to EW.cm’s Ausiello Files.
Duff will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU — and will end up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). That should be fun. How much you wanna bet that Duff’s movie star character is totally going to rub Vanessa the wrong way. Should make for some good laughs!
Duff will debut in Gossip Girl’s fourth episode in season 3, slated to air Oct. 5.
Is it possible that one of our Gossip Girl guys could interest Olivia? Hilary News reports that Olivia wants to date a “simple, nonfamous guy.”
That definitely fits Dan Humphrey’s (Penn Badgley) bill. And he would have the perfect hookup with Vanessa rooming with her.
What do you think about Hilary Duff guest starring on Gossip Girl? Do you think there will her character Olivia and Vanessa will become BFFs? Which character would you want her to be romantically involved with?

Gossip Girl cast back on set
July 1, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
The Gossip Girl cast returned to the set this week to start filming season three.
Thankfully, our Gossip Girl guys, including Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick shaved before returning to set! In fact, Chace’s hair is completely different. His hair is pushed back and is a more styled it seems.

I wonder what Chuck Bass will be doing this season? He’s always up to mischief so it should be interesting now that he’s out of high school. The world is practically at his feet.
And they are LOOKING GOOD! Follow the jump for more photos of Crawford and Westwick on set.
Blogger sees Taylor Momsen’s band The Pretty Reckless in concert
June 30, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
As you probably know, Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, is the lead singer of a new band called The Pretty Reckless. During her break from Gossip Girl filming (which has now resumed) she toured with The Veronicas.

A blogger named “Wanderling” attended The Veronicas/The Pretty Reckless concert on Saturday in Vancouver along with fellow blogger friend Eyeliah. Pictured above is Wanderling posing with Momsen.
Wanderling has allowed me to share some of the photos she took at the concert.
Here’s her thoughts on the concert:
“… T Mom completely blew me away. I mean, I went in there expecting crap and she actually had a pretty rad band, a wicked smokey voice and cool stage presence. Let’s not forget…THE GIRL IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD!” Wanderling wrote on her blog.
After the concert she bought a Pretty Reckless tee and got Taylor to sign it.
Have you seen Taylor Momsen in concert? If so, what are your thoughts?

Relive Gossip Girl’s Season 2: Tonight’s episode “Pret-a-Poor Jenny”
June 29, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
In tonight’s repeat of Gossip Girl’s season 2 episode “Pret-A-Poor Jenny,” Jenny (Taylor Momsen) befriends a young model Agnes (guest star Willa Holland, The O.C) who encourages Jenny to stand up for herself to Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin), who tries to “borrow” Jenny’s designs.
Meanwhile, this is the episode where Serena (Blake Lively) meets artist Aaron Rose (John Patrick Amedori) – not exactly my favorite part of the season.
Blair (Leighton Meester) attempts to seduce Chuck (Ed Westwick), but it proves tougher than she ever imagined. But you go girl!
Don’t have time to watch? Read the recap here.
Gossip Girl airs on Mondays at 7 p.m. CST on The CW. Of course, this fall when Gossip Girl returns for its third season on Sept. 14, it will move to One Tree Hill’s time slot at 8 p.m. CST (and One Tree Hill will move to the 7 p.m. spot.)
By the way, Amedori has been cast in ABC’s midseason drama Happy Town.

Here’s a 30-second preview of the “Good Girls Go Bad” video that shows Leighton Meester, but doesn’t show her singing (but she does sing in the video):

I can’t wait to see the whole video!
Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen at the Transformers premiere
June 28, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, was spotted on the red carpet on June 22 at the Los Angeles premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen” at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California.
While her dress to me totally rocks and fits her rocker-girl image (it’s kinda got that Madonna look to it), I absolutely ADORE her lace-up heels.
Taylor has spent her summer touring with her new indie-rock band Pretty Reckless tearing up the stage. I’ll upload photos of her rockin’ and video later today.
Here are two more photos of Taylor Momsen on the red carpet:

Leighton Meester talks about music on It’s on with Alexa Chung
June 26, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) made an appearance at MTV studios for “It’s On with Alexa Chung” this week, talking about her music career and the upcoming release of Cobra Starship’s new video “Good Girls Go Bad” which features Meester singing with the group.

<
During the video, members of Cobra Starship join her for the interview and an clip from the video, which will be released Monday, is shown.
You’ll notice there was no mention of the supposed Leighton Meeter “sex tape.” I don’t blame her for not answering questions. This was really the wrong time for that (if there ever is a right time). But hopefully the media hoopla over Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucett deaths will make the story disappear from the headlines.

Privileged’s Joanne Garcia to play Nate’s love interest on Gossip Girl
June 25, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Wow! This exciting news!
Entertainment Weekly is reporting Privileged star Joanna Garcia will play a four-episode arc on Gossip Girl as a love interest for Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford).
Garcia will guest star as Bree Buckley, a “slightly evil” beauty queen type from a “conservative Southern family,” according to EW.
And she’s not wasting any time showing up either: Garcia will appear on the first episode of Gossip Girl’s third season on Monday, September 14.
I can see a lot of potential for this relationship for Nate. If they give her some character traits like in Privileged, she will be funny and spunky.
As far as “slightly evil,” does that mean she will be butting heads with someone? Maybe Vanessa (Jessica Szohr)? Or will Vanessa even be on Nate’s radar when Gossip Girl returns?
Sadly, Privileged was canceled by The CW in May and won’t be returning in the fall.
