Exec Producer Joshua Safran Gives The Scoop on “Con Heir”
Apr 2nd
Tonight’s the night! Gossip Girl returns with an all new episode “Con Heir” after its hiatus. The last time we saw the Upper East Siders in “The Princess Dowry” episode, Dan and Blair decided to be together. Tonight’s episode focuses on their sexcapades (or lack thereof…!)
But much more is happening in the story line. We chatted with GG executive producer Joshua Safran to find out what we can expect tonight and the rest of the season.
Check out the scoop in the gallery below.
“Dan has loved Blair from afar for a while but has also been her friend first before she really even knew his feelings and then realized that she had them herself. So I think their relationship is one that comes out of mutual friendship, whereas her relationship with Chuck wasn’t really a friendship. They were sort of antagonists with each other that kind of got turned on by that. I think as Blair comes out of the cloud that was being a princess and realizing that wasn’t what she wanted, it will be interesting to see this dynamic between what’s it like to date a friend versus date somebody who has a lot of drama. Blair will make a final decision. She will decide what she wants for herself. It will be clear in the finale.” “Chuck’s upcoming story is an emotional one for him. He is trying to sort things out for himself. Whenever he is in a place where he needs help, Blair always wants to be the one to help him and I think maybe this time around she wishes she didn’t want to help him, but she still does. He is on sort of a search who in fact saved his life, and I think it opens some doors that he thought were closed.” “She’s back and fully a player on the Upper East Side and much the concern of everybody — not just Lily and Rufus, but Serena, Blair everybody. We feel like Ivy is never actually evil; she’s just motivated, you understand her motivation. I understand the characters think her motivations are evil, but she was just an actress who was hired to play a part. She did not expect to go in this deeply and did not expect to fall in love with these people. It’s not so much ‘I want money’ — it’s that she had a terrible childhood and terrible life and she would love to be a part of their world.” “Diana and Nate had a relationship that was complicated to say the least and when she left, she left under the assumption that she was the one that had added all of Gossip Girl’s sources and Serena and Blair know that’s not true. But Nate does not. So now that Diana is back and Nate is very happy with Lola, the question becomes what is going to happen between them once he finds out that Diana isn’t the one who betrayed him and all his friends.” “The question is will she be drawn to its power or will she stay far away from it, and the answer is revealed by the end of this next episode. Then what she does thereafter you’ll have to wait and see. It’s a really fun story. We feel like this season has been about things being stripped away from Serena whether it’s her job, her friendship with Blair, Dan, so now that she has this chance at gaining some power back, how she uses it will be interesting.”

Ed Westwick Video Interview: “Leighton is a Sweetheart”
Mar 22nd
Need a little Ed Westwick in your life during the Gossip Girl hiatus? We’ve got just the cure! The CW has just released a new video interview with him answering questions from fans.
On The Drama Between Chuck and Blair - “The relationship between Chuck and Blair, I think everyone agrees they’re soulmates, but can they get it together? I don’t know. They’re really pushing the boundaries now—they’ve got to figure it out.”
On Leighton Meester - “My favorite part about working with Leighton is that she’s a really funny character. She has a great time and is an absolute sweetheart.”
On Chuck’s Wardrobe - “Wearing Chuck’s wardrobe is great. It’s one of my favorite things. He gets to wear these exquisite clothes, finely tailored. And whoever you are — whether you’re playing a character on TV or someone who’s fortunate enough to own these clothes in a personal collection — you feel pretty good doing it.”
On What He’d Be If He Weren’t An Actor - “I probably would have been a plastic surgeon,” he said jokingly. “I don’t know — probably a failed musician… a failed international superstar.”
On His Current Projects - “I was just in a film called J. Edgar and I’m also doing a feature version of Romeo and Juliet, which I’m very excited about. I’m playing Tybalt. Hailee Steinfeld is playing Juliet and Damian Lewis is playing Romeo. And it’s going to be a great adaptation for this generation, so I hope everyone goes and sees it when it’s out.”

Gossip Girl Recap Season 5, Episode 17
Feb 28th

In Gossip Girl Season 5, Episode 17 “The Princess Dowry,” so many twists and turns happened that we thought we were on a roller-coaster! Find out the major plot lines below:
- Nate and Lola are Hooking Up – We left off on “Cross Rhodes” when Lola found out that Ivy has been impersonating her and she meets the family she didn’t know she had. She didn’t want to be alone after that life-changing moment, so she asked Nate if she could go back with him. The two actually look happy together when they wake up the next morning. Serena calls Nate looking for Lola and finally convinces him to bring her to S’s so the three of them can talk.
- CeCe Has Planned Her Own Funeral – Lily tries to make arrangements but is told CeCe has already come up with everything. The family goes to the apartment and it is an Irish wake with traditional upbeat music, and even the “help” is celebrating her life.
- Georgina Leaves Philip in Charge of Gossip Girl – Georgina Sparks is bored and Ivy invites her to CeCe’s wake, so she leaves her husband in charge of posting tips that have come in to Gossip Girl while she’s away. Only, Chuck sends in a tip saying that Dan was the one who sent in the video of Chuck and Blair saying they love each other. Philip copy and pastes the tip as Georgina told him, but forgets to delete the source, so Chuck is outed as the one who left the tip.
- Serena’s Dad Returns – Dr. William Van der Woodsen shows up at CeCe’s wake and it turns out he has the will. We also find out through a side conversation between him and Carol that he is Lola’s real father (meaning that’s Serena’s sister. WOW!)
- Estee Tricks Blair – She says she’s in love with Louis so she’s willing to help her get out of the prenup. All B has to do is stay out of the press. That means no Gossip Girl leaks, Page Six articles, etc. Blair thinks everything is going to work out until a tip about her and Dan makes it onto Gossip Girl — turns out Estee and Georgina were working together. Looks like the Waldorfs will have to pay the dowry.
- Ivy Gets Everything! – William reads the will and a huge chuck of CeCe’s assets — including the Rhodes apartment that Lily and Rufus live in — go to Ivy. Everyone thinks it’s a mistake. Carol thinks it’s going to the real Charlotte Rhodes. But, no no. It says “Ivy Dickens” in the will! At the end of the episode, Ivy kicks Lily and Rufus out of the apartment since it’s hers now.
- Dan and Blair Become Official – Blair tells Chuck she loves him but she’s not in love with him. She realizes Dan is the one for her and the two kiss — a lot. Dair fans scream with joy; Chair fans cry. (See Chair Vs. Dair)

Rihanna Gets a New Tattoo: “Thug Lifeâ€
Jan 25th
Somewhere, Tupac is smiling. I spied Rihanna in L.A. getting a seriously gangsta “THUG LIFE” tattoo in light gray ink across her knuckles. I would be banned for life from The Pierre if I sauntered in for tea with those tats, but does Rihanna’s new ink totally suit her edgy personality?

Gossip Girl Character Pics: Portrait of a Lonely Chuck Bass
Oct 24th

Chuck Bass may have enough jewels and riches to fill every Olympic-sized swimming pool around the world but money, apparently, does not breed happiness. (Nor does a closet full of well-fitting and pressed suits for that matter!)
Chuck isn’t splashing around his gold coined luxuries…he’s wallowing in them. And the proof is all in the pictures.
Take a peek into the solitary life of Chuck Bass and decide for yourself whether or not Chuck could use a friend or two (and maybe a little less Bourbon and a lot more ice-cream cone).
Chuck is ready to get serious this season on Gossip Girl. Will a therapist have all the answers he’s looking for…or will he once again find himself disappointed and alone? Photo Credit: Splash News Either Chuck is annoyed that all his good suits were at the dry cleaners or he’s really trying to get into the pinstripe tough guy mood! Photo Credit: Splash News “I’ve also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.” – Yousuf Karsh Well, there’s no denying that. for a guy barely out of his teen years, Chuck is pretty damn successful. But do billionaire-dollar successes really breed misery…or could something else be ailing young Bass? Photo Credit: Splash News This is the face of a man who’s in need of some serious companionship. (A dog, cat or a goldfish ought to do the trick!) Photo Credit: Splash News This is Chuck’s “do not mess with me” face. Do not dare approach him, wave at him or even glance his way. Billionaire hotel tycoons need their space! Photo Credit: Splash News A cane. A vest. A contemplative expression. If Chuck wasn’t the epitome of loneliness before, he sure is now! Photo Credit: Splash News Shh…Charles is trying to “feel.” (And we’re certainly “feeling” his purple checkered suit jacket…so boss!) Photo Credit: Splash News Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people. – Joan Collins Hmm. Joan Collins was onto something there. Billions of dollars + crisp suits + dashing good looks all equal…sadness. What is Chuck missing from his life? (A new chartreuse scarf perhaps?) Photo Credit: Splash News Photo Credit: Splash News Chuck tucks away it all his sorrows into the breast pocket of his expensive, tailored suit and marches bravely into a new day. Photo Credit: Splash News In a desperate attempt to revive his spirits, Chuck takes in a deep breath of the beautiful thing called life (otherwise known as NYC taxi cab pollution). Photo Credit: Splash News Chuck: Seems like I’m always off on my own. Photo Credit: Splash News

Lindsay Lohan’s “Extreme†Ink
Sep 2nd
Another day, another questionable decision by Lindsay Lohan–quelle surprise! Our little LiLo showed off her new tattoo, a line from the Billy Joel song “I Go to Extremes,” reading Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife, I feel like I’m in the prime of my life. Oh Lindsay. Maybe our favorite spiraling starlet will live up to the inspirational phrase. Or maybe she’ll get Light as a feather, stiff as a board emblazoned on her other rib…XOXO.
