In “Raiders of the Lost Art,” Dan Humphrey was invited to Rome for the summer to hang out with prestigious authors and hopefully cure his writer’s block. But after following Blair and Chuck to the mansion where they were trying to uncover Diana’s secret, Dan decided to stay in New York City and work on his relationship.

In next week’s episode, “The Fugitives,” Blair finds out that Dan decided to stay in NYC to keep his eye out on her and Chuck. And she’s not too pleased about that.

Do you think that Dan should have gone to Rome, or did he make the right decision to stay and work on his relationship with B? Vote in the poll now! And tell us why you feel that way in a comment below.

Hunger Games It Girls of the Week

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 Hunger Games ladies who the world will be watching when the movie opens on Friday March 23, 2012! Check them out below:

  • Jennifer Lawrence – She plays Katniss, the girl on fire — and boy, is she ever! Jennifer was on the cover of Glamour and Seventeen this month and has been featured in numerous other publications. We also love all of the amazing body image messages she’s been sending by saying she’s never starved herself to lose weight. “I do exercise, but I don’t diet,” she said.
  • Elizabeth Banks – She plays Effie Trinket, and you might recognize her from some of her past roles on 30 Rock, Spider-Man, Role Models, and Definitely, Maybe. Was it hard for Elizabeth to channel her inner biatch? Not exactly. “So easy,” she said. “I love being mean.”
  • Isabelle Fuhrman – The 15-year-old plays Clove in The Hunger Games, but you might recognize her from the super-creepy scary movie Orphan. A fun fact about Isabelle is that she ended up submitting a one-and-a-half page back-story for her character. “When you read the book, it’s written through Katniss’ eyes and you really get to know who Katniss is, and you understand certain characters and parts of them, but I wanted to develop and figure out Clove’s psyche and where she came from.”

UnforgettableThis week’s “It Girls” receive the “Unforgettable” because we’re pretty sure no one will forget how excited they were for this movie! Check out more info on The It Girl book Unforgettable here! And take the poll below to let us know who you think deserves the title of “Ultimate It Girl of the Week!”

Which Gossip Girl Character Would Win The Hunger Games?

With all this news about The Hunger Games movie coming out March 23, 2012, we couldn’t help but think about how our beloved Gossip Girl characters would make out in the arena if they were in there.

So, in true Hunger Games and Gossip Girl style, we decided to pit all of them against each other. Take a look at their talents below and then vote in the poll to determine who would get the victory!




Blair Waldorf

The Queen B could use her bitchy remarks and manipulating skills to take down the self-esteem of all those in the arena. When they were at their weakest point, she could take them down with an evil glare.

Chuck Bass

With Chuck’s unlimited funds, he would be able to buy the ultimate weapons to use in the arena. And hey, if he still couldn’t win with those weapons, perhaps he could just bribe the others to die.

Dan Humphrey

Being trapped in an arena with others isn’t supposed to be fun, and Dan could use his talent of being super boring to make the others go stir-crazy. Maybe he could even read them an excerpt from Inside to really seal the deal.

Georgina Sparks

As one of the most evil characters on Gossip Girl, Georgina could use her sabotage skills to take down each of her competitors one by one.

Ivy Dickens

Just as she did such a great job imitating Charlie Rhodes, Ivy could use her talents to impersonate the other tributes. And just when they’re about to win, she’d swoop in and take it ALL.

Nate Archibald

With his good looks alone, our Golden Boy could get more sponsors than any of the other tributes. And with the extra supplies, he’d be sure to last longer than the others.

Serena van der Woodsen

They say you should always keep your enemies close, and S would be great at that with her flirting skills and come-hither stare. And just when her opponents would think she was on their side, BAM!

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 are are expecting! Check them out below:

  • Jessica Simpson- The very pregnant star appeared on the April 2012 cover of Elle Magazine that just hit newsstands this week. And, she’s posing completely nude– just like Demi Moore did for the Vanity Fair cover when she was pregnant with her second child Scout. Jessica also revealed that she’s having a little girl. “Ah swear, ah will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins!” she said to Elle in her Dallas accent.
  • Vanessa Minnilo- Jessica’s ex-husband Nick Lachey found out that he’s having a baby, too! His wife Vanessa announced she’s pregnant with the couple’s first child. Nick said he has wanted this more than anything. He also joked that Vanessa’s baby bump “just looked like she had eaten a really big burrito for a while.”
  • Kristin Cavallari - The Laguna Beach star is telling everyone all about her pregnancy cravings: cupcakes and tacos (hopefully not together…) She’s also starting to show her baby bump, looking super fashionable and fabulous.

This week’s “It Girls” receive the “Adored” honor for getting to be the center of attention until their babies come! Check out more info on The It Girl book “Adored” here! And take the poll below to let us know who you think deserves the title of “Ultimate It Girl of the Week!”

Which Celebrity Hairstyle Should Penn Badgley Get?

Dear Penn Badgley,

We are begging you to cut your hair. Not only are your fans wondering what’s going on with the long, curly mess that you’re currently sporting, but jokes about your locks have even made it into the Gossip Girl script, including an awesome jab from Blair (“Seriously, you should cut it already…”).

We know your character Dan Humphrey is trying to be a respected author now that his book Inside is doing well, and that a Brooklyn hipster isn’t one to be spotted with a clean-cut hairstyle, but we promise you’ll have better luck with the ladies (and in life!) if you take our advice and fix that hair!

Because we love you, we’ve even put together some options using the InStyle virtual makeover tool that you can take to your hair stylist for inspiration. Check it out below.

Love,

Gossip Girl fans (and all human beings)





Adam Lambert’s Shaggy ‘Do

Penn could dye his hair black and grow it long with wispy layers for a rocking style.

Justin Bieber’s Former Mop

Probably some of the most famous locks out there, Penn could take a cue from Justin Bieber’s hair, growing it longer, straightening it, and letting it fall in his face.

Brad Pitt’s Sexy Style

Penn could look at Hollywood It Guy Brad Pitt and cut his hair short, adding subtle highlights.

Chace Crawford’s Bed Head

His Gossip Girl co-star Chace Crawford could be an inspiration, too. But beware, Penn: this “I didn’t do anything to it” look actually takes time.

Donald Trump’s Frump Style

Not everyone can pull of the Donald’s look, but if Penn really wanted to do it, he’d have to dye his hair blonde and let it grow into a mini ‘fro.

Robert Pattinson’s Vampire Hair

Penn could use the Twilight star’s locks as inspiration. He’ll just need to grow a widow’s peak.

Taylor Lautner’s Vintage Locks

All Penn would have to do to get a look similar to Taylor Lautner’s is straighten it, cut it a little shorter and style it a little higher than normal for a dapper look.

George Clooney’s Distinguished ‘Do

If Penn really wanted respect, he could salt-and-pepper his hair a’ la George Clooney and go for this more mature look.

What hairstyle above do you think Penn should use? Vote in the poll! Is your fave celeb’s hairstyle not in there? Leave a comment and tell us who we missed.

It Girls of the Week: Drama Queens!

Katharine McPhee

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 are in the spotlight for their acting roles! Check them out below:

  • Katharine McPhee – Who doesn’t love a good musical? This former American Idol contestant stars in the new series Smash which follows two Broadway hopefuls as they compete to snag a part as Marilyn Monroe. The show, which premiered on Monday, received good ratings and reviews, and Katharine is getting a lot of praise for her role. Also, doesn’t she just look smashing lately? (Sorry, just had to do it!)
  • Naomi Watts – The 43-year-old actress has just received an “honor” — as she’s calling it. She has been cast to play the part of the late Princess Diana in an upcoming movie about the royal’s last two years called Caught in Flight. Naomi told Variety: “Princess Diana was loved across the world, and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen.” We think the blonde beauty will play the role well.
  • Rachel McAdams – Just in time for Valentine’s Day (to fulfill our need for an awesomely romantic movie with a side of Channing Tatum), Rachel is starring in The Vow. Grab the tissues (per usual) and either a girlfriend or guy who is willing to do anything for you and head to the movies this weekend!

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!”
