Gossip Girl set: Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester on video
July 5, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Last week, the Gossip Girl cast returned to the set to start filming season three.
Here is a video (with no sound) showing Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) and Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) filming a scene.
Chuck, dressed to the hilt in a suit, is talking on a cell phone while he helps Blair out of the car. Blair is wearing a gorgeous silver (or is it gold?) dress, as they walk down the street. Wonder who Chuck is talking to?
These videos (below the jump) shows a few more photos of Chuck and Blair together during that day of filming, and they hold hands at one point. Also on the video is Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald).
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:
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?

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:

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) attended an event hosted by Bloomingdale’s, K-Swiss and NYLON for the debut of the K-Swiss Remastered Classic sneakers at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street in New York City on June 18.

Westwick signed a deal to be the new face of K-Swiss in November.

In these photos Westwick makes some funny faces, sticking out this tongue and smiling (something we rarely see his character Chuck Bass do!).
Here are more photos of Westwick at the event:

Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick wins Breakthrough Male Award
June 11, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Ed Westwick, who plays bad boy millionaire Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, received the Breakthrough Male Award at the Hollywood Life 11th Annual Young Hollywood Awards.
I‘m glad to see Ed Westwick win the award — as he really does bring Chuck Bass to life on Gossip Girl.

The event was held June 7 at the Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California.
Korbi TV caught up with Ed Westwick on the red carpet, getting a few interesting details out of him.
When asked if he is a fan of Chuck and Blair, Ed Westwick said, “I am a fan of anything good - anything that has a good storyline — I’d like for them to give it a go, at least a real try.”
Ed Westwick also said he has seven tattoos, as Korbi was asking this question to several of the stars.
Here are more photos of Ed Westwick on the red carpet, looking suave as ever:
Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively, Penn Badgley at W hotel opening
June 10, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
I guess Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley (Dan) got used to having a beard when he was in Thailand with co-star and real-life girlfriend Blake Lively (Serena) on vacation. The two were spotted at the W Hotel opening in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 4.
While he was clean-cut for the CW upfronts, he talked to the media about how he grew the beard while on vacation. I am not a fan of the Penn Badgley beard. I wonder if Blake Lively is. Blake, please tell him to shave!
As for Blake, I like her white shirt dress with the ruffles. The dress has a strange shape, but it works for her long, lanky figure. It’s not a dress that would look good on everyone though.
Check out her rockin’ blue heels and a close-up of Penn Badgley’s beard after the jump.
Leighton Meester on Cosmopolitan’s June 2009 cover
May 31, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) is featured in the June 2009 edition of Cosmopolitan wearing a beautiful short deep fushia-colored dress.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at her Cosmopolitan photoshoot:
Leighton Meester said she was thrilled to do the Cosmopolitan cover for obvious reasons:
“I get to tell my parents that I’m doing it it so they’re very proud of me,” Leighton says in the video. “Cosmo stands for a very confident woman - just sort of shaped how I look at being a woman - independent woman - in life.”
In the behind-the-scenes photo shoot video, Leighton compares music and acting, saying music isn’t as challenging as acting, but it is more emotional.
“When you’re singing it’s a lot of internal things. It’s like showing your diary,” Leighton said.
Some of her music influences include Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Fergie and MIA. She says her album, being produced by Universal Republic and expected out this fall, is electric, pop, edge and dance.
Leighton Meester was featured on the recent release of Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad.”
With her music release coming out soon, Leighton Meester is now more visible online - here’s her official Twitter, and MySpace and Music pages.
