In honor of Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar’s series It Girl, each week we celebrate the women who are making headlines. This week, we look at the ladies who snagged a coveted Oscar nomination! Check them out below:
- Rooney Mara – Nominated for Best Actress for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, her character is a troubled young woman who is hired as a research assistant by a journalist investigating a decades-old mystery. Just as intense as the movie was = how intense of an actress Rooney turned out to be. And it showed enough to get the attention of the Academy.
- Michelle Williams – When someone asks you to play Marylin Monroe in a movie, you say, “When do I start?!” Michelle Williams got the honor of portraying the legendary actress in My Week With Marilyn, scoring her the nod. She also just picked up a Golden Globe award for the same role!
- Melissa McCarthy – Her movie Bridesmaids made us fall in love with puppies, Wilson Phillips and laughing all over again! Melissa is being nominated in the best supporting actress category for her role as the crude sister of the groom.
This week’s “It Girls” receive the “Classic” honor for their Hollywood glamour! Check out more info on The It Girl book Classic here! And take the poll below to let us know who you think deserves the title of “Ultimate It Girl of the Week!”

It Girls of the Week: Oscar Nominees
Taylor Swift “Haunted” By Jake Gyllenhaal
Jan 27th
Wonder no more who Taylor Swift’s scathing songs are about. A little bird told me that T was “haunted” by her failed romance with hunky Jake Gyllenhaal because he “totally screwed with her mind” during their short on-off romance.
Would you have guessed that seemingly sweet Jakey was actually a jerk? Or had you pegged one of her other exes as the knight in tarnished armor?

Hot & Not: Blake Lively & Chloe Moretz
Jan 27th
Spotted: Blake Lively and Chloe Moretz both attending the Jason Wu for Target fete, but only one starlet ruled the red carpet. While I adore B’s peplum-accented dress, Chloe also dons B&W but looks more like Colonel Sanders’ long-lost niece.
Am I the only one who thinks B should start schooling poor Chloe on being a true fashionista? XOXO.

Kelly Osbourne’s High Fashion Rant
Jan 27th
Stand back, fashion world. Kelly Osbourne is spitting mad at designer Jean-Paul Gaultier for his Amy Winehouse-themed collection, complete with models with AW’s typical beehive hairdo and faux tattoos. Kelly says the presentation was insensitive to her dearly departed BFF.
Do you think Kel is making too big of a deal out of this? Or does she have the right to be fuming mad?

Lady Gaga’s BF Taylor Kinney: “Just Be Normal!”
Jan 27th
Taylor Kinney apparently loves Lady Gaga in spite of–not because of–her fame. I hear that he told her to drop the bizarre behavior when they’re together and just “be normal” since he “has no desire to date a stage act.” I can’t disagree with T; Mother Monster’s endless antics are wearing thin with me–can you imagine being her BF? Gives new meaning to the term bad romance, n’est ce pas?
For more of the delicious Taylor, check out his new web series Dating Rules from My Future Self…XOXO.

The Best Words of Wisdom Quotes from Gossip Girl – Season 5
Jan 27th
Here are some of the best words of wisdom Gossip Girl dished out in Season 5:
- “Sticks and stones may just break bones, but the wounds from words never heal. Especially when they’re words we hoped we’d never read.”
- “Often all it takes to find a new path is to make a sharp turn and see what you find. But beware. Sometimes what you’re faced with is a dead end.”
- “The thing about expectations is most of the time, someone else sets them for you. Yet you feel like they’ve been there all along. And you can’t wait to live up to them. But just because you know what’s expected of you doesn’t mean you still can’t surprise everyone.”
- “You often find, what you least expect is right in front of you. Waiting to change everything forever. Whether you want to or not.”
- “They say blood is thicker than water. But it’s also a lot harder to clean up when it spills.”
- “They say the only way to conquer your fear is face what you fear the most. You must walk into the belly of the beast. And risk the possibility of failure. But try to hide from your fear, and you risk it swallowing you whole.”
- “Face your fears and the rewards can be profound. You can discover the true depth of a relationship. Or what you’re capable of withstanding. The problem is, the more you gain, the more you stand to lose.”
- “That’s the thing about writing what you know. Soon everybody else knows it too.”
- “They say the road of life is long and winding. So it’s important to mark the milestones along the way.”
- “They say every road comes to an end, but sometimes the end feels just like the beginning. Even when you think you’ve come a long way, you can suddenly find yourself right back where you started. Because every journey is fraught with twists and turns.”
- “And some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden. But that’s the problem with wearing masks. They can be ripped off at any moment.”
- “If you ever find yourself sick with Saturday Night Fever, the last thing you want is someone to turn up the heat.”
- “If you’re going to play with matches make sure you don’t leave them around to spark the flame anew. Disco isn’t actually dead. And neither am I.”
- “But at the end of the day, our fate is decided for us. All we can do is hope we have the strength to cope with the hand she deals us.”
- “Camus said that life is the sum of our choices. Choose wisely and fortune smiles upon you. But choose poorly? You never know what price you’ll have to pay.”

- “And even when you think you’re finally in the clear, you’re never home free.”

- “As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination.”
- “You never know who you’ll encounter along the way. Who knows, maybe fairy tales come true after all.”
