Ed Westwick Finally Enjoys Man-On-Man Action On ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:22:55 +0000

Last August we learned that Ed Westwick’s character, Chuck Bass, on Gossip Girl would be engaging a bit of man-on-man action on the show and last night was the ep where it all took place. Because Chuck Bass was a bisexual character in the Gossip Girl book series, fans have been wondering if the TV version of Chuck Bass would be emulating his literary counterpart … and it turns out that he does — but on a much smaller scale. Here are a few screen caps of Ed Westwick gettin’ all amorous with co-star Neal Bledsoe:

To be honest, the kiss wasn’t really all that … but on a primetime TV series aimed at the tween set, I think it was adequate. After the jump, check out a screenshot of the actual smooch and watch video of the full scene …

Heh … cute. I really loved the very end of the clip where Chuck tells Blair Waldorf that it wasn’t the first time he ever kissed a guy before. Throwing that little bit in seems to be a nod to the Chuck Bass we know from the book series. And … who knows … perhaps Chuck will be taking future steps towards indulging in the manaction. One can only hope. What did y’all think … were you satisfied?

Penn Badgley Is ‘Gossip Girl’s New Ladies Man

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:27:30 +0000

Those of you who have been watching the new season of Gossip Girl surely must be aware of how much tail Dan Humphrey (played by Penn Badgley) is getting on the show … I mean … a lot. He’s already been there and done that with Serena (played by Blake Lively) and Vanessa (played by Jessica Szohr) and just this season he got bizzy with Georgina Sparks (played by Michelle Trachtenberg) and soon he’ll be gettin’ his freak on with Olivia Burke (played by Hilary Duff). I mean … WTF? Here are pics of Penn makin’ out with both Jessica and Hilary on the NYC set of GG this week:

HMMM. I guess now that Chace Crawford’s character has settled down with Joanna Garcia’s character and Ed Westwick’s character has settled down with Leigton Meester’s character … the field is wide open for Penn to get his mack on. I guess it’s gonna take me some time to get used to the idea of Dan Humphrey breakin’ hearts on GG but … that’s why they call it fiction, right?

Guess Who’s The New Guy On ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:04:25 +0000

Taylor Momsen, who plays little Jenny Humphrey on the hit CW series Gossip Girl, was spotted filming new scenes for the show with a new male castmember:

Despite the fact that it is virtually impossible to know who this new dude is from just this censored photo, I challenge you to take a guess anyways. This new guy will play a character named Damien who will be a love interest for Little J. After the jump, find out who it is …

Jenny’s life is about to get a lot more complicated. Kevin Zegers has joined the cast of the CW’s “Gossip Girl” for a multi-episode arc. He will play Damien, an international bad-boy love interest of Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen). Zegers, who starred opposite Felicity Huffman in “TransAmerica,” was recently seen in “50 Dead Men Walking” and “The Narrows.” He will soon begin production on “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.”

I *love* Kevin Zegers … he was really fantastic in TransAmerica. I’m sure he’ll add a lot to GG considering he has the acting chops to actually act. Mebbe Momsen will learn a thing or two from her new co-star. So … what do ya’ll think about this new addition to the show? Do we like?

First Look: Hilary Duff On ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:05:50 +0000

E!’s Watch with Kristin blog brings us our first look at Hilary Duff in character as Olivia Burke on Gossip Girl. Here is a new promo pic released by The CW that features Hil D. in her debut ep on the show which will air on October 5:

Here she is! Hilary Duff joins the cast of Gossip Girl as movie star Olivia Burke for the Oct. 5 episode titled “Dan de Fleurette,” and we have the exclusive first look at Duff in character on the set! Duff’s character is assigned to be Vanessa’s (Jessica Szohr) roommate at NYU—their dorm room is the setting of the still above—and through Vanessa, Olivia gets to know Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley). Olivia becomes attracted to Dan, and vica versa. Of course, there’s a twist: Dan is so tuned out to pop culture that he doesn’t realize the girl he’s falling for is a huge movie star famous for her role in a Twilight-esque series of vampire movies. Still, the two college kids manage to make their odd-couple pairing work, and cuteness ensues. Yay!

LOL! Isn’t it amazing that Hilary Duff in character as Olivia Burke looks a lot like Hilary Duff in, well, real life? I’m thinking the fact that the Olivia character is described as “movie star who enrolls at NYU“ will help Hilary’s acting abilities immensely … but, I guess there’s always room for epic failure. I’ll hold off on judgment of her acting skills on GG until I actually see them in action. This is a nice sneak peek tho … hopefully we’ll get to see something more substantial soon.

Ed Westwick Lookin’ Sharp On The Set Of ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:43:41 +0000

Here are a couple photos of Gossip Girl male fashionista Chuck Bass (played by Brit boy Ed Westwick) lookin’ all faboo and shizz on the NYC set of GG this week … Sarah Jessica Parker may be stepping back into Carrie Bradshaw’s fashionable Manolo Blahnik shoes elsewhere in Manhattan these days, but Chuck Bass has been the fierce fashion beyotch in town for years now:

You know Chuck loves his lavender … and I’m really feeling the gangster zoot suit on him … it looks like the upcoming new season of Gossip Girl is gonna be ripe with hot clothes for Chuck to wear. Now that he’s lookin’ to be lip-lockin’ with the dudes, homie’s gotta step up his game. You go, gurl!!

Who Is Penn Badgley Kissing On The Set Of ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:44:43 +0000

The Gossip Girl gang has been hard at work on production of their upcoming third season and we’ve seen a lot of photos of the cast from the set. A key scene in an upcoming ep was filmed yesterday on the NYC set of the show that gives away a bit of plot development. Penn Badgley’s character, Dan Humphrey, was spotted kissing up on one of his lady castmates … can you guess which one?

We know that Dan has had an on-again, off-again relationship ship with Serena van der Woodsen (played by Blake Lively) but I will tell you that that this girl he’s smoochin’ on is not her. After the jump, find out who it is …

Cast in the role of Olivia, a “movie star who entrolls at NYU”, it looks like she also sets her sights on nabbing Dan as her man. It’s unclear, obvs, if this little smoochfest is a one time occurrence or if it will bloom into something more substantial but it’s an interesting development nonetheless. What do y’all think, GG fans? Do you like Dan gettin’ his mack on with Olivia the new girl?

Hilary Duff Joins The ‘Gossip’ Girls On Set

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:42:42 +0000

Production continues on the third season of Gossip Girl which begins airing next month … earlier this month we saw photos of new castmember Hilary Duff filming her first scenes for the show and today we get to see another photo of her and her female GG cohorts making their way to the Manhattan set yesterday afternoon:

Oh yeah, Penn Badgley is featured in these pics as well but I’m sure he don’t mind gettin’ lumped in with the ladies. I’m really looking forward to the return of this show especially to see if Hil D. will enhance the show or not. Not for nothing but I haven’t actually seen Hilary Duff in anything before so I have nothing to base an early opinion on … I do trust the GG folks to make some great eps so … I’m hopeful. Shoot, no matter what Hilary’s role on the show will be I deffo know that I’ll be tuning in for Chuck Bass’s gay kiss :) Woot!!

Chuck Bass Goin’ Gay On ‘Gossip Girl’

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:52:52 +0000

The news that fans of the Gossip Girl book series have been waiting to hear has finally come. Playboy cad Chuck Bass, who has an affinity for the ladies as well as the gents in the book version of the series, will indeed be exploring the realm of same-sex fraternization in the TV version of the series. Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly broke the news late yesterday that Chuck Bass, played by Brit Ed Westwick, will be kissing a dude in the third ep of the coming Fall season … which is good news because this plot development does take place in the book series. I am very happy to know that producers of the TV show are keepin’ it real. Here are pics of Westwick in costume on the set of GG here in NYC yesterday:

Spotted: Chuck Bass sucking face with a dude! It’s true! Multiple Gossip Girl insiders confirm to me exclusively that the CW phenom is currently shooting an episode for its upcoming third season in which Ed Westwick’s legendary lothario kisses another man … First things first: Sorry to disappoint, but no, it’s not Chace Crawford. Westwick’s “romantic” interest is up-and-comer Neal Bledsoe (CSI: NY, Guiding Light), who’s guest-starring in episode 6 as Josh Ellis, NYU’s head of freshman affairs. Since Josh is tasked with selecting an incoming student for the honor of delivering the freshman speech, he’s, shall we say, a person of interest to Blair. In fact, she’s so determined to snag the slot that she goes so far as to pimp out her boyfriend to the gay guy in charge. The catch? All you need to know is there is one. Oh, and wait until you hear what Chuck says to Blair following the lip-lock. (Must. Resist. Temptation. To. Spoil.) It was only a matter of time before GG played the maybe-gay card with Chuck, who swung both ways in Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl books.

Well, it’s about time. Not for nothing but a show as fun as Gossip Girl really needs to up its gay factor … and, sorry, Serena’s gay little brother ain’t really gettin’ the job done. Now, I have not read the GG books but I’ve been well informed of Chuck Bass’s proclivities for the man-on-man action. Sure he dabbles but dabbling can be fun … which, I’m sure, we’ll see acted out this coming season on the TV show. Perhaps once the other GG guys see how much fun Chuck is having they’ll wanna join in, too (I’m talking to you Nate Archibald)! This new development deffo makes Gossip Girl must see TV … at least for me.

‘Gossip Girl’ Releases A Promo Poster For Season 3

It's Trent, Bitch! — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:48:20 +0000

Last week we got to check out a promo trailer for the upcoming 3rd season of Gossip Girl, which will premiere on The CW on Monday September 14, and today we get to check out the new promo poster that has just been released for the show:

Fairly straightforward, nothing that surprising. The core group of Gossips lookin’ stylishly fabulous as usual. The first thing I think of when I see the characters in this photo is College Students, don’t you? We’re just a few weeks away from the start of a whole new season of drama and I’ll take it, even if it looks ridiculously unrealistic.

First Look: ‘Gossip Girl’ Season 3

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:51:08 +0000

The Fall television season is nearly upon us and we already know that many of our fave shows have been in production for many weeks now to bring the boob tube entertainment that we’ve all been missing since the last television season ended back in late Spring. We know that Gossip Girl Season 3 started filming back in June and here we are 2 months later with the first video trailer for the upcoming season … here are a few screencaps of our first look of GG Season 3:

The trailer is also our first look at the WTF! promo campaign for the series. While it does not show the new GG character that will be played by Hilary Duff, it does quickly feature two other new characters played by Joanna Garcia (ex-Privileged) and Chris Riggi (who plays Scott Ronsson, long-lost lovechild of Lily van der Woodsen and Rufus Humphrey). After the jump, check out the video trailer in full …

To be honest, IMHO, the clip is pretty tame … I didn’t actually go WTF? once while watching it … but it is very nice to see our fave characters back in action. I was much more impressed with the Love Sucks ad campaign that The CW released for The Vampire Diaries (which we saw Saturday) Gossip Girl returns to The CW in just about a month’s time on September 14 — who’s excited?
