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:

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.

Filming for season 3 of Gossip Girl starts in mid-June. So what do the Gossip Girl stars think is coming up on the show for their characters? This video was taken at the CW upfronts last week.

Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) thinks her time with Nate (Chace Crawford) backpacking in Europe will have consequences. I’m not sure if she’s saying this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Penn Badgley (Dan) is ready for his character to loosen up quite a bit and enjoy being young. I think Penn wants to play the bad boy but is stuck in the good guy role.

Blake Lively (Serena) thinks it will be interesting for her character to try to find out more about her father and learn about her mother’s past (can you smell the Gossip Girl spinoff?).

Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr (Vanessa Abrams) has been cast in two movies - horror movie Piranha 3D and indie drama Walks.

Szohr is currently filming Piranha 3D during her break from Gossip Girl. Walks is an independent film also starring Gossip Girl spinoff actress Brittany Snow.

According to Variety, the movie Walks takes place in the underground street art world, centering around a group of young New Yorkers coming together for the homecoming of a convicted graffiti artist.

Szohr isn’t the only Gossip Girl cast member making movies. Chace Crawford was cast in the Footloose remake and Ed Westwick has been cast in Wuthering Heights.

Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa Abrams, says the season finale “The Goodbye Gossip Girl” (2.25) today will be full of drama as everyone tries to figure out who Gossip Girl’s identity.

She also says couples who didn’t work out with other people might be getting back together. Could she be referring just to Chuck and Blair or to Nate and Vanessa too?

Szohr also discussed how season 3 will start, with a couple going to NYU, a couple to Brown and one person not going to college at all. Vanessa will be among those going to NYU.

Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) is hosting the Gossip Girl “Dove Go Fresh” Real NYC Stories Revealed commercials that have been appearing on Gossip Girl the past few weeks.

In the videos, real-life Upper East Sider Chrissie Miller grew up attending an exclusive all-girls school similar to that of Gossip Girl. She says she was more of the “poor” girl at the school. So I would compare her character wise to Jenny (Taylor Momsen).

Now Chrissie is a designer, launching a clothing line aimed at teens called Sophomore.

Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa Abrams) shared a kiss during a break from filming Gossip Girl Wednesday.

A few minutes later, the two wiped their mouths with their hands to rid of their extra saliva from their smooching!

Westwick also helped Szohr walk her adorable dog!

Rumors started swirling about the new Gossip Girl real-life couple (joining Blake Lively and Penn Badgley) around Thanksgiving and slowly it has seemed to progress to this kiss (at least in public).

Do you like them as a couple?

It seems that the Gossip Girl cast really did walk out on a $500 tab at Brother Jimmy’s in Manhattan!

According to Page Six, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick partied it up at the hospot after a Kings of Leon concert. They “held an impromptu party in the private room upstairs,” revealed a source. “Nobody ever paid the $500 bar tab the group racked up.”

Chace was also spotted hopping behind the bar to serve drinks to the girls. Let’s just hope they forgot. It’s not like they can’t afford it!

You gotta feel sorry for the cast of Gossip Girl. I’m sure they can’t wait until winter finally leaves New York City. Pictured are Penn Badgley (Dan), Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) and (after the jump), Chace Crawford (Nate).

These photos from the set were taken on Jan. 19. While I’m sure fans love getting a glimpse of their favorite cast members filming in NYC, I’m sure they just prefer shooting everything inside!

What do you think Dan and Vanessa are discussing? Are they talking about how things are going down the tubes with Serena (Blake Lively) or is Vanessa dishing about her relationship with Nate? Maybe Dan is talking about his crush on his new teacher?

W magazine’s former intern, Sasha Filimonov, was recently cast as an extra on our favorite show Gossip Girl. Aren’t you jealous?

She even got to see Chuck (Ed Westwick), Nate (Chace Crawford) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) up close!

And in classic Gossip Girl style, Filimonov is blogging about her experience!

The first blog post “I was a Gossip Girl Extra” is super funny as I think many of us could put ourselves in her shoes as she worked as an extra while trying not to stare at the Gossip Girl stars. Plus, she describes in exquisite detail the set and their wardrobe.

Later, she even got to be in a scene with Dan (Penn Badgley), Serena (Blake Lively), Lily (Kelly Rutherford), Rufus (Matthew Settle) and Chuck, noting how amicable the cast was on set. Read more
