Here’s a look at the upcoming episode of Gossip Girl, 2.19 “The Grandfather” in photos.

I’m hoping this episode - set to air Monday, March 23 — will be a good one. Here’s the official episode guide for “The Grandfather.”

“Devastated by the recent plot twist in her life, Blair (Leighton Meester) turns her back on her predictable Waldorf existence in favor of a more wild and unpredictable lifestyle, causing Serena (Blake Lively) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) to have serious concerns about their friend. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) convinces Nate (Chace Crawford) that it may be time to forgive and forget when it comes to his mother’s Kennedyesque family, The Vanderbilts, who abandoned Nate and his mother when they needed them most. In a misguided effort to be completely honest with each other, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) agree to share lists of their past lovers.”

While I’m all about the Chuck-Blair-Carter drama that will be going on in this episode, I’m curious about Lily and Rufus looking over their past lovers’ list (never a good thing!).

Guest star Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan, Kings), who already ticked Chuck off in the last episode “The Age of Innocence” by interfering with Elle. Fortunately, she’s out of the picture. Remember, Elle told Chuck to find someone who really cared for him to love (Duh! Blair!)

Here are more photos from the episode after the jump:

OMG! Do you see what I see? Nate and Blair kissing? What the heck is going on?

Well, it seems Nate (Chace Crawford) and Blair (Leighton Meester) do kiss in an upcoming episode as this photo snapped on the Gossip Girl set shows.

Where will that leave Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair? How about Vanessa (Jessica Szohr)?

Recently, I had the opportunity to interview designer Stacey Lapidus, whose hair accessories have been featured on Gossip Girl numerous times.

Lapidus recently launched a Holiday line of hair accessories, as well as bracelets, belts and scarves.

Lapidus’ designs have been featured in dozens of magazines and worn by celebrities including Mischa Barton, Sarah Michelle Geller, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Kelly Ripa, Eva Langoria, Hilary Duff, Heidi Klum, Joss Stone, Stacey Kiebler, Paula Abdul, Charlotte Ronson.

She also collaborated with The O.C.’s Mischa Barton for a limited edition hair accessories line called Mischa Barton for Stacey Lapidus.

The Interview:

One of my favorite shows is Gossip Girl. Tell me about your experience providing hair accessories, especially for Leighton Meester who plays Blair Waldorf.

I have been a huge fan since episode one…way before I saw my first piece appear on the show. It’s quite a funny story how this relationship happened. I saw my first piece appear on the show and had no clue how it got there! I figured it was bought in a store as wardrobe often is, and I was just so excited to see it, as well as flattered!

Will the real Chuck Bass stand up?

Is Chuck Bass just the womanizer, like the new Britney Spears song says in the Gossip Girl promo, or is Chuck Bass just a rich boy who wants to please his father while finding genuine and passionate love?

In Gossip Girl’s “Chuck in Real Life” 2.07 episode, we get a look at what makes Chuck tick. Will he take Blair’s bet to “seduce and destroy” Vanessa to get the opportunity to sleep with Blair again?

The episode starts with Serena (Blake Lively), Eric (Connor Paolo) and Chuck (Ed Westwick) learning at breakfast that Bart (Robert John Burke) and Lily (Kelly Rutherford) have set new rules — Friday night dinner with the family (you gotta be kiddin’ me!) and curfews! They want to introduce the family at a special party and want the kids on their best behavior. Read more

Here’s a few photos from Gossip Girl’s 2.06 “New Haven Can Wait” episode (It’s College Week for our favorite Upper East Siders!) which will air Monday, October 13 at 7 p.m. CST on The CW.

In this episode, sparks are going to fly! Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester) will have their highly-anticipated cat fight (can’t wait!).

Serena, wanting to get even, will ditch her plans to visit Brown and instead accept the Dean of Yale’s invitation to visit the prestigious college.

Gossip Girl actresses Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) and Kelly Rutherford (Lily van der Woodsen) recently took time out of their busy schedules to attend the Kids for Kids celebrity carnival benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation at the Park Avenue Armory on September 20, 2008 in New York City.

In the first photo it looks like they are decorating t-shirts.

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) walks her dog while walking with a makeup crew and bodyguard to her trailer on the Gossip Girl set in downtown Manhattan.

She’s not really making a fashion statement with her clothing, but I have to say I like her purse!

Admit it, you loved it! The BEST scene of the Gossip Girl Season Two premiere came at the end, when Blair asks Chuck to give her a reason to stay… and he can’t.

Commence swooning.

2, Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. I’m such a sucker for these two. And I wanted to hate them because it’s rare that I like the fighting bad couple story lines… But Leigton Meester and Ed Westwick bring such an old Hollywood Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn or Clark Gable/Rosalind Russell feel to their roles. The bickering could be annoying in the wrong hands. In their hands, it’s simply entertaining.

Ouch!

James finds out the truth about Blair… and calls her on it. Blair takes it like a Waldorf.
