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:

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.

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.

Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford (Nate) atended the 8th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles on June 8.

Crawford still has his  scruffy beard at the moment, though it does look better than it did while he was filming the Twelve movie about a month ago. He does look good in his suit though. I’m just ready for a clean-shaven Crawford to return.

Talk about a nice magazine cover! Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford was named Summer’s Hottest Bachelor by People magazine in the June 29 issue.

As a big Gossip Girl fan, I’m thrilled that Chace won this honor, beating out quite a bit of competition, including Twilight’s Robert Pattison.

In People’ magazine’s video interview with Chace, he says he’s not one of those guys who “has” to have a significant other with him at all times. But he does seem him settling down in the future and having kids (he says he is from Texas, after all), by 30-ish. He’s still got plenty of time to do that though.

Chace also says he doesn’t know if he has any certain deal-breakers when it comes to women, but he says it helps if the girl likes sports and she should be able to sit through a football game at least.

You can read a portion of People magazine’s interview with Chace here. He tells People he talks to his parents every day and unlike his character Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, thinks dating a married woman is a “definite no.”

In the interview, he talks about his first kiss, the perfect date (which involves a pool table, beer, a jukebox and good conversation) and his experience dating Carrie Underwood.

When The CW upfronts were held last month, the Gossip Girl cast talked to numerous news organizations during the big media event. Out of that, we’ve seen several interviews (and photos) of the cast. Here’s another good interview from E! Online,which includes Blake Lively (Serena), Leighton Meester (Blair), Jessica Szohr (Vanessa), Taylor Momsen (Jenny), Dan (Penn Badgley) and Chace Crawford (Nate).

Blake Lively talks about her tour of Asia. Notice she doesn’t talk about it, but Penn Badgley went on the same trip - together, of course. She also is working on getting her scuba diving certification, which Leighton Meester jokes around a little with her. Leighton says Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina) will be around some in season 3 to make college miserable for Blair, and Serena will be looking into her father’s whereabouts.

Jessica Szohr thinks the beginning of season 3 will be focusing on college, while Taylor Momsen hopes Jenny shapes up high school now that she’s the Queen Bee.

Penn Badgley just shaved a beard. Personally, I’m glad I didn’t have to see it. Oh, and he says he and Blake are “too young” to think about marriage.

 Chace Crawford is asked about the Footloose movie for the upteenth time. The news that he was definitely getting the part was pretty fresh at that time, so I bet he was asked that question a hundred times. Basically, he had to work the movie into his Gossip Girl schedule.

Here is a video featuring the Gossip Girl cast at the CW Upfront presentation on May 21 in New York City.

Later, the cast spent more time together posing for photos at the CW Upfront party.

Are you as excited about Season 3 starting as I am?

WPIX-TV in New York interviewed the cast of Gossip Girl at the CW upfronts on Thursday. The reporter talked to Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass)about his new role in the movie Wuthering Heights, Chace Crawford’s (Nate Archibald) role in Footloose and how it feels to not be the new guys at the upfronts.

We also learned that the cast will start shooting season three in June, so their vacation time is almost over.

Blake Lively (Serena) enjoyed her vacation time (with Penn Badgley, though she didn’t say it) in Thailand, India and Maldives.

What do you think of Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) playing the role of Heathcliff in the new Wuthering Heights movie?

Bond girl Gemma Arterton and Westwick will play star-cross lovers in the movie based on the book by Emily Bronte, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.

According to producer Robert Burnstein, the movie takes Heathcliff from a teen into his early 20s.

It’s radical because usually actors playing these characters are much older…We’re very proud to have British actors,” Burnstein told the Daily Mail.

Filming for the movie is expected to start in the fall. Westwick isn’t the only Gossip Girl cast member making movies.

Chace Crawford (Nate) has been cast in Footloose as Ren McCormick and is currently filming Twelve. Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) has parts in Piranah 3D and Walks.
