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).

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.

In case you were caught up in rumors that Gossip Girl was casting for someone that would break up our beloved new couple Chuck and Blair (Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester), don’t worry.

According to Watch with Kristin on E! Online, Chuck and Blair “aren’t breaking up anytime soon.”

Hopefully, the Gossip Girl writers will give Chuck and Blair together time to work. I know at one point, Chuck said he couldn’t imagine “Chuck and Blair going to the movies,” but I hope they DO let us see them together do something more than fight.

I mean, we know they will have to “grow,” and we don’t want them to be boring together, but this is CHUCK AND BLAIR, so let the characters do their magic and it should all work out. In the long term, who knows what will happen between them. I just want to see them try.

In fact, Ed Westwick agrees. He recently said on a red carpet interview, that he wants the couple to “give it a go.”

And just as I am a big fan of Chuck and Blair, I know there are fans of other Gossip Girl couples out there as well.

Those of you who are fans of Blair and Nate, are you hoping that Nate and Serena end up together or do you like Nate with Vanessa? I know on a past poll, many people wanted Nate and Jenny to try again.

Personally, I just want Jenny to have a boyfriend. She needs something else besides school and fashion. She needs a love life like everyone else.

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:

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:

Here’s a great fan-made Gossip Girl video of what Chuck (Ed Westwick) was thinking before he FINALLY told Blair (Leighton Meester) that he loved her in the Season 2 finale. Something we “Chair” fans had been waiting all season for!

The producers definitely made us wait until the very end, but it was worth it knowing they are together now.

I wonder how Chuck and Blair together - and out of high school - will work when we return for season 3 this fall.

Hopefully, when they start filming Gossip Girl on the streets of New York in about a month, we will get a few clues.

Gossip Girl real-life couple Ed Westwick (Chuck) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) leave The Belmont hand in hand after lunch with a friend on June 6 in LA.

The couple has been spending a lot of time together during their break from Gossip Girl. Since first seen together around Thanksgiving, the couple has become more and more public as far as photographs goes. Neither have talked about their relationship publically though.

Here are two more photos of the two together:

For all the Chuck and Blair fans, the second season finale of Gossip Girl was awesome. We’ve waited so long for Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) to finally say those three words, eight letters “I love you” to each other - at the same time! (Click here to relive all the Chuck-Blair finale scenes from the finale).

Many times when a season finale airs, fans are left upset wondering what happened to certain characters. While there are still a lot of mysteries going into Season 3, at least the Chair fans are happy that our favorite couple is together. I can’t really describe it. It’s like everything is right in the world because Chuck and Blair are together.

And I know that sounds totally sappy, but I think it’s about happy endings. I get so ticked when I watch a movie that ends badly. My day is ruined.

So - at least for the summer - until Gossip Girl returns for its third season - we have a little happiness.

Here is a Chair video that will help you relive their relationship’s ups and downs:
