not the ggwriters

Serena (Blake Lively) is going to have to overcome family-related obstacles when trying to win over her new love interest, Steven Spence (Barry Watson).

HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that French model Zoe Aggeliki has been cast to play Natasha, Serena’s enemy. But alas, here’s the twist: Natasha is Steven’s sister!

Hmmm… Will we have another Béatrice Grimaldi on our hands?

After conquering the modeling world, Zoe is making a name for herself in Hollywood! She was a major contender to play Johanna Mason in Catching Fire.

We’re happy to hear she’s joined the GG cast and we can’t wait to see what drama she stirs up! Serena can be vicious, so Natasha better watch her back.

It’s been a hot summer on the Upper East Side, but rumors are swirling around that it’s going to be an even hotter fall!

Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) finally have the chance to be together forever — or so it seemed at the end of the season five finale.

And after reading our sister site TVline.com’s blind item, I think Gossip Girl writers might actually give #Chair fans what they’ve wanted all along:  Chuck and Blair happily together.

According to TVLine.com: “a primetime soap that, although popular, came this close to getting the axe at season’s end — and just when a pair of its well-liked lovebirds were heading for a reunion, too. Now I hear that, when the show returns this fall, it’ll pick up right where it left off and pleasantly surprise fans by immediately marrying off the star-crossed couple in question.”

Let’s break this cryptic message down. Unfortunately, Gossip Girl was on the chopping block and reportedly almost got the boot after its fifth season, but ended up getting half of a sixth season. The season five finale left Chuck and Blair, the favored couple, in the perfect place for a romantic Parisian reunion and it wouldn’t be surprising — in typical GG fashion – to elope these lovebirds right away.

Now if Chuck and Blair get married on the season six premiere, does that mean we can expect a baby by the series finale? Hmm!

Dan and Blair have sex for the first time, Serena gives a try at being Gossip Girl and a secret from Chuck’s near-death experience is revealed on the April 2 episode of ‘Gossip Girl.’

All I have to say is either Dan (Penn Badgley) and Blair (Leighton Meester) are big fat drama queens or the sex was truly just indescribably awful. If the latter was the case, why they’d even go back to each other is beyond me.

After a month hiatus of our beloved CW drama opera, Blair and Dan finally had the chance to do what they’ve been waiting for so long to do — have sex. But of course, the big event didn’t live up to their expectations. The two finally got it on in Dan’s Brooklyn loft (classy B) and quickly left in disappointment. This led  the two to get very drunk on their own and doubt their relationship — and in this moment Chair fans, like myself, felt a glimmer of hope. But alcohol, Dorota’s advice and an elevator ride eventually made everything better for the two.

I must say, I don’t even know WHO Blair Waldorf is anymore! Williamsburg, elevator sex and vodka drinking? She’s out of control.

And here are my ‘OMG’ moments:

#1 Dan and Blair make up

Blair decided to give sex another try with Dan after confiding in Dorota over a drink of vodka. Dorota said Blair needed to be honest with Dan and tell him the sex was terrible — which  she did, drunkenly as they headed up in the elevator to Ivy’s ( Kaylee Defer) party that she was hosting in memory of Cece. Blair stopped the elevator mid-ride and well, took Dan for a ride. Consider it a success since they later ended up doing it later in an alley in Williamsburg.

#2 Serena Is Gossip Girl

While Georgina (Michelle Tractenberg) is out fixing Blair’s annulment, she handed over the Gossip Girl reins to Serena (Blake Lively). But it doesn’t look like she’ll be gossiping for long, since she just received a message from the original GG. I hope she’s not a fraud, because we all know the real GG needs to come back pronto! The Upper East Side is frankly falling apart without her.

#3 Jack Bass Didn’t Give Blood To Chuck

When Chuck (Ed Westwick) was on his death bed after the car crash, his evil uncle Jack allegedly gave him blood to survive. But tonight we learned that Jack has hepatitis c — and Chuck thankfully does not — so there’s no way Jack did the blood transfusion. Jack told Chuck that it was his “mother” Elizabeth — who has already denied being his mother — but I think he’s just saying that. Could it be, possibly, that Chuck’s dad Bart Bass is still alive??

#4 The Van Der Woodsens May Get Their Home Back

Currently, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) are residing in Brooklyn while Ivy occupies their UES nest, but that’s about to change. Ivy clearly didn’t do her homework on what it takes to be a beneficiary because she’s already broken some rules, which are about to get her serious legal trouble.

Overall, I’m just ready for the real GG to come back. I feel like she’ll shed sane light on all this UES madness!

Michelle Trachtenberg Says: Chuck & Blair Will Always Have A Love Affair

Blair is in the midst of putting the finishing touches on her lavish wedding to Prince Louis but ‘Gossip Girl’ star Michelle says she wouldn’t be surprised if Blair calls off the wedding! O.M.G.!

If you thought Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) was walking down the aisle to Prince Louis of Monaco think again! HollywoodLife.com ran into the lovely Michelle Trachtenberg, who plays Georgina on the show, at the grand opening of LOLA, Manhattan’s newest hotel destination and she gave us some major spoilers!

“I think Blair and Chuck will always have a love affair,” she coyly replied when we asked if Blair and Chuck will get back together. “But there is Prince Louis in the picture and whether they get married or not is to be seen in our 100th episode.”

But would she be surprised if Blair jilted Prince Louis at the altar?

“Nothing is ever a surprise on Gossip Girl, well everything is a surprise,” she said. “But nothing is shocking because you expect shocking to happen.”

We told you how Michelle tweeted a picture of herself in a gorgeous outfit on the Gossip Girl set, could it be her outfit for the royal wedding?

“I’m dressed for definitely a big event,” she says. “Whether I’m going or not I cannot say. I was wearing a fascinator which was freaking amazing!”

Kelly Rutherford reveals new info regarding the highly anticipated wedding — and the love triangle between Blair, Louis, and Chuck!

After pictures of Blair as a runaway bride surfaced, everyone was dying to know what will happen at the wedding on Gossip Girl! Kelly Rutherford attended the launch the Y&J Multiplicity by Robert Verdijewelry collection on Nov. 17, and sat down exclusively with HollywoodLife.com where she shared new details regarding Blair’s Royal Wedding.

While the star couldn’t tell us if the bond between ‘chair’ will ultimately stop the wedding, she gushed about the possibility of a Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) reunion. “I love their chemistry. I love seeing them work together because they’re both such wonderful actors and I think they’ve created a really wonderful chemistry.”

“I think he [Chuck] brings out a side of Blair that’s very true to herself, where she comes from and all of that,” she said. So then why is Blair with Louis? “I think maybe she was looking for something different like all of us do at some point in our lives,” Kelly said regarding Blair’s relationship with her fiance.

As for Blair’s relationship with Prince Louis (Hugo Becker), Kelly doesn’t seem too concerned. “I don’t know how it works for anybody for forever — I think we have the moment with each other and sometimes you do the right thing and sometimes you don’t and you have to live with the consequences and that’s the beautiful thing about our show.” It definitely sounds like Blair and Louis don’t have the brightest future!

Kelly also hinted at what we could expect to see Blair’s bridesmaids, like Serena, wearing on the big day. “They’re gorgeous dresses, they look amazing. They’re pink and beautiful and fluffy.”

It sounds like Blair is going to have a beautiful wedding, so why is she running away? Do you think Chuck and Blair’s chemistry caused her to flee the alter?

I don’t think Prince Louis’ mother, the Queen of Monaco, would approve of Miss Blair and her baby bump being behind bars!

Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) was spotted in NYC on Oct. 26th wearing a bride-to-be tiara and causing a scene with the police!

 

Queen B was acting intoxicated on the set of her bachelorette party and provoking authorities to arrest her! And from the look of this pic — mission accomplished.  And yes Chair fans, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) was in the scene looking at Blair with disappointment!

But the big question is: WHERE is her baby bump?

WHY is Blair drinking (if she wasn’t pretending) if she’s pregnant? And WHY is Chuck crashing her bachelorette party? And WHERE is Louis (Hugo Becker)?

Maybe, just maybe, Blair is acting out because she doesn’t want to get married to Prince Louis. And is she drinking because she’s lost the baby?? This is all total speculation, but entirely possible.

What do you think, Hollywoodlifers? Does this new pic confirm Chair will reunite by the end of this season for good? Vote and weigh in below!

HollywoodLife.com caught up with Kelly to discuss which couple she thinks should get back together!

Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford sat down exclusively with HollywoodLife.com to discuss the latest season, the potential end of the series, and which couple she wishes would reunite.

Kelly opened up about the shocking moment on the October 24 episode when Serena (Blake Lively) told Dan (Penn Badgley), “You’re the love of my life.” Kelly said, “There’s a lot of twists… I’m always amazed at how they do it and tell the story, it keeps us in suspense and yet it makes a lot of sense. There’s a realness to it.”

When asked who she thinks Blair belongs with, Kelly admitted, “I like Blair and Chuck together a lot… other than that, I don’t know. The way they’ve written the script is so interesting. It’s a hard decision. I think sometimes it’s that way in life when you meet someone and you’re trying to make it work and things happen yet you sort of know you’re meant to be together so I don’t know.”

As Gossip Girl is contracted until season 6 (next season!), Kelly discusses what she thinks for the future of the show. “I think the good news is they keep writing a really good show. We’ve been fortunate as actors to have that happen so I think everyone has really kept interest in it. I can say personally it’s still really so much fun to go to work so I do hope they continue it.”

Which couple do you think should reunite HollywoodLifers? Are you hoping for a Chair, Dair or another reunion?

Hugo Becker tells HollywoodLife.com he ‘can’t wait’ for Prince Louis to be a dad! Plus, he addresses the rumors that the baby Might belong to Chuck!

Blair (Leighton Meester) may be stressing out about her pregnancy on Gossip Girl, but Hugo Becker assures HollywoodLife.com that Prince Louis will be there for her every step of the way! We caught up with to Hugo at the Mohegan Sun Casino’s 15th Anniversary on Oct. 21, and we couldn’t help but ask what he thinks about the fans’ theories that Chuck (Ed Westwick) might really be the baby’s father.

“I’m very happy to be a father” is all he had to say about the controversy. “And that’s that!”

Hugo said that, not only is he excited for his character to become a father, but he thinks he’ll make a great one:

“He will take care of his family, his wife and also his children,” he said confidently. “I also think it’s part of who he is, I have no doubt about this. He will be a really good father. At least, he will try his best to.”

He also made not of how much Blair has matured, adding that she’ll be an extremely doting mom.

“She’ll be a great mom!” he told us. “She definitely takes care of people around her. No matter what happens, she takes care of people. She takes care of her friends and her lovers … I guess you’ve seen that. She’s a very loyal person in terms of friendship and love, so I have no doubt she will be an amazing mother.”

But when asked if Prince Louis and Blair’s royal wedding — assuming they make it to the altar — will outdo Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s he simply said: “You tell me! I’m not going to judge my own wedding, so you come! You come and you tell me!”

(Oh, don’t worry. We’ll be there!)

What do you guys think? Is Prince Louis really the baby daddy?

Talk about misleading title but anyways:

On ‘Gossip Girl’ Oct. 17, Chuck and Blair go for a walk in the park, Dan’s book wreaks major UES havoc and Blair FINALLY tells Serena she’s pregnant!

During last week’s episode when Blair (Leighton Meester) told Chuck (Ed Westwick) she was pregnant with Prince Louis’ (Hugo Becker) baby, Chuck looked absolutely devastated! After throwing himself in harm’s way, an emotionless Chuck actually cried a tear when Blair told him the news.

 

However, it looks like he’s moved on from his sadness, as he and Blair happily reunited on the Oct. 17 episode! Blair accompanied Chuck on a walk in the park with his new dog, Monkey and the two were laughing and talking before Dan revealed he was the anonymous author of the book about which everyone was talking.

Chuck and Blair both seemed calm and cordial and when Monkey ran after something in the street, almost causing Blair to trip, Chuck saved her from falling. It was so sweet and endearing! While nothing more than a friendly stroll occurred, could the GG writers be foreshadowing a romantic reunion between the two later in the season? I hope so!

More ‘OMG’ moments!

#1 – Prince Louis almost leaves Blair!

After Prince Louis (Hugo Becker) saw on Gossip Girl’s website Blair and Chuck were hanging out — he got very upset! Prince Louis questioned Blair and she told him they were just on a walk before Dan’s announcement about the book. But Prince Louis wasn’t nearly as upset about Blair hanging out with Chuck as he was when he read Dan’s book! Dan wrote a fake scene in the book where Blair and him had sex and Louis believed it was true. Louis was so upset, he lied to Blair about his parents coming into town when they were supposed to tell them Blair is pregnant! Eventually Blair and her prince reconciled…with the help of Chuck Bass (ironically). Chuck told Louis he’d be stupid to let Blair go and Blair cleared up any speculation that her and Dan did more than just kiss. Do YOU believe she’s telling the truth?

#2 – Everyone turns their backs on Dan!

Dan finally has his dream of being the author of a New York Times bestseller come true, but is left with nobody to share his success with. His UES friends were very upset about how their “fictional” characters were portrayed in novel — and who could blame them? First, Dan wrote that he and Blair had sex. He portrayed his ex-girlfriend’s character “Sabrina” —  based off Serena (Blake Lively) — as a self-centered, insensitive party girl…and he didn’t even include his BFF Nate (Chace Crawford)! Even his own father, Rufus (Matthew Settle), was upset about it.

Poor Lonely Boy, just when his wish to be with the cool kids came true, it looks like he will be left alone after all with his only his book on the outside looking inside.

#3 Blair tells Serena she’s pregnant!

I was wondering if this day would EVER come! Blair finally tells her BFF Serena she’s pregnant! (This is after Blair told Chuck AND Dan.) It will definitely be fun to watch their friendship grow throughout Blair’s journey, but notice how Blair never told Serena who the father is? I found it odd how Serena just assumed it was Louis’s kid! Didn’t you?

#4 Ivy and Diana Payne team up!

This is inevitably a recipe for disaster. There is something about Diana Payne (Elizabeth Hurley) that totally creeps me out. Plus, she’s blackmailing Ivy (Kaylee Defer) now that she knows her secret — that she really isn’t Serena’s cousin, Charlie. However, we still don’t know what kind of deal they worked out. I’m worried for Ivy to get involved with her!

What did you think, Hollywoodlifers? Are Blair and Prince Louis the real deal? Or was Blair and Chuck’s few minutes together a teaser for what’s to come in this new chapter of Gossip Girl? Do you believe Blair and Dan didn’t do anything more than just kiss? Vote and sound off in your comments below!

XOXO

Tonight’s season premiere of Gossip Girl is almost upon us and we are so excited for you all to see the episode! The premiere, like all other season premieres so far on GG is set outside of NYC for part of it, with Serena, Chuck and Nate in LA. But will Serena stay there for her job? And what about Blair? Now that she’s in the process of marrying Prince Louis will she drop out of school to play princess? Spoilers ahead!

“Gossip Girl is not going to be bicoastal for long,” admitted executive producer Josh Safran at a recent Q&A session. “We return fully to New York very soon.”

It sounds like Serena might not be in Hollywood long term then! If she’s back in Manhattan, how will her friendship with Blair pan out, after being marked by strife last season? Will they be on positive terms as Blair plans her wedding? “They’re always going to be friends,” explained Josh. “They’re definitely friends.” That’s not to say there won’t be typical drama for S and B. “You never know what’s going to happen with them, but they are friends,” said a coy Josh.

Meanwhile, for those of you curious to know whether Blair is dropping out of Columbia to become a princess, rest assured her education is still important, albeit not in the forefront this season. “The people who are in college, are in college, but we are not spending time at the school,” revealed Josh. “Blair is going to class, but it’s really in the background. In our minds, they are still going to school [we’re just seeing them] after they’ve left class.”

Phew! At least she’s not letting her possible future crown get to her head! Are you guys excited to see Blair and Serena on good terms? What do you want to happen this season? Put your comments below!

SOURCE

As if this season didn’t seem dramatic enough seems like Blair and Serena will get into a major tiff. Bright side is that they’ll always be friends * ahem best friends*

Could these two be fighting over Dan Humphrey or an issue much larger than that? Like a pregnancy ? (Throwback to 1.13 when they faught over Blair not telling Chuck she may be pregnant!)

What do you guys think?
