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:
- Adele – This powerhouse vocalist was certainly rolling in the deep last Sunday, taking home six out of the six Grammys she was nominated for including: Best Song and Best Album of the Year. Even though this British superstar had recently undergone throat surgery, she still stunned the audience with her live performance of her chart-topping and multiple award winning hit “Rolling in the Deep.”
- Jennifer Hudson – Even though she wasn’t nominated for any awards this year, Jennifer Hudson astounded the audience with a brilliant rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” in a tribute to the late diva. The former American Idol contest took the darkened stage to deliver a goose-bump inducing tribute to the fallen musical icon.
- Rihanna – Newly blonde and looking fabulous, Rihanna tore up the stage with her performance at the Grammys on Sunday. Switching off between the up-beat dance numbers and more mellow acoustic work, RiRi showed everybody how to put on a great show! Not only did Rihanna have a stand-out live performance with Coldplay, she also took home a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “All of the Lights” with Kanye West, Kid Cudi , & Fergie.
This week’s “It Girls” receive the “It Girl” honor for their much talked about performances! Check out more info on The It Girl book “The It Girl” here! And take the poll below to let us know who you think deserves the title of “Ultimate It Girl of the Week!”

Cecily von Ziegesar Recaps Season 5, Episode 15

Who better to recap each week’s new episode of Gossip Girl than author Cecily von Ziegesar? In this week’s edition, she talks about how perfect Rufus is and how amazing Dan’s kiss was.
Hey People,
Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m going to say that I thought this Valentine’s Day episode was truly romantic. And how ironic: now that Blair’s a married woman she’s somehow more desirable than ever. Dan and Chuck can’t wait to rescue her from what must be the worst marriage in history. And she can’t wait to dress up all deliciously in red and break their hearts again and again and again….
Here are some of my favorite moments this week:
Best husband: Rufus. All that man does all day is shop for his wife. I want one.
Best lounge wear: Blair’s gorgeous red satin and lace combo with the bat wing sleeves. What else would one wear whilst sipping champagne and firing off orders to the maid?
Best hair: Georgina’s bi-color black and red tints. It’s witchy hair—so appropriate.
Best re-use of an old school tie: Nate. He should wear his school uniform to work every day. And I’m totally getting a job at The Spectator.
Best brushoff: Chuck dissing Dan’s flirtatious literary agent in the Empire Hotel bar. He was so not into her. Until ten minutes later when being into her might serve some higher purpose, like messing with Dan’s writing career. Nothing feeds the fire of Chuck’s desire like revenge.
Best kiss: Dan and Blair. Loved the way Dan had his lips ready for like five minutes before he actually took the plunge. And how he must have been thinking, “If I’m going to risk everything and do this, what better moment than on Valentine’s Day when she looks so gorgeous in that red gown? But if I’m going to kiss her, it’s got to be good; it’s got to be the best kiss I’ve ever kissed!†Who knew Dan and Blair could kiss so well? That one kiss made me rethink everything. So romantic.
Hope you get kissed today, too. Happy Valentine’s Day!
You know you love it,
-CvZ

Hot Mess: Leighton Meester
Feb 9th
What a difference a day makes, darlings. Earlier this week I spied lovely Leighton Meester prancing around the Met in an outrageously gorgeous pink Oscar de la Renta gown. But alas, when it comes time for L to dress herself, we get…this. The Queen B turned up at the amFAR gala with furry thighs and soccer mom hair.
Could this be the worst look of the winter? Tell me another starlet who trumps poor Leighton in the fashion disaster department…XOXO.

It Girls of the Week: The Ladies of the Super Bowl!
Feb 3rd

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 will make the Super Bowl interesting! Check them out below:
- Madonna – The 53-year-old legendary singer (who looks damn good for her age) said it’s a “dream come true” for her to be singing at the Super Bowl half-time show this year. She said she’s feeling a little nervous performing in front of such a huge live television audience (the biggest one she’s done was likely LiveAid in 1985). We’re excited to see her perform three of her oldies but goodies (please, please, please “Vogue!”) and her new song “Give Me All Your Luvin’.”
- Kelly Clarkson – Another voice we’re excited to hear at the Super Bowl is Kelly Clarkson who will be singing the national anthem. The American Idol star has performed at other NFL games before and sang the anthem at a Dallas Cowboys game, but this will be her first time performing at the big one!
- Gisele Bundchen – One half of one of the world’s most beautiful couples, Gisele will be rooting for her husband Tom Brady. And she’s already been asking friends and family to send positive energy to him. In an email, she said, “This Sunday will be a really important day in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this super bowl. …”

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.

It Girls of the Week: Best Dressed at Golden Globes!

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 won our vote for the best dressed at the Golden Globes! Check them out below:
- Claire Danes – Looking stunning in a J. Mendel dress, Claire’s sophisticated look took our breath away when she walked out on the red carpet. And Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman was in agreement. “I think Claire Danes in the J. Mendel dress really stole it for me,” he said. “I just thought it was perfectly tasteful. It wasn’t too over the top. For who she is and for her age, I just thought she looked fabulous.” Not only did she get our vote for one of the most stunning guests there, she also walked away with a Best Actress Award. Not a bad way to end the evening.
- Shailene Woodley – Even though she didn’t take home an award for the Supporting Actress category she was nominated for with her role in The Descendents, Shailene looked amazing at the ceremony in her sleeveless silver Marchesa dress. We’ll overlook the fact that she hit up the after-party in “five-finger” shoes!
- Angelina Jolie – While Brad Pitt can be the perfect accessory for any woman, Angelina held her own at the awards show in an Atelier Versace gown.The splash of red on the top of her one-shoulder dress complimented her other beautiful accessory: a red Christian Louboutin ‘Pharaon’ clutch.

“Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I won’t love you.” – Blair to Chuck in this week’s episode. Did you get chills when she said that? Perhaps it was because of the words, or perhaps because of the music playing in the background.
This week’s music spotlight goes to James Vincent McMorrow, whose song played during the last scene of Monday night’s show. The song was a cover of Chis Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” Check out the video below to hear the song in full. And if you like James’ music, head on over to his MySpace page to hear more.

Cougar Warning on the Upper East Side
Jul 15th
Lock your doors, darlings and keep an eye on your man. I spied a real maneater prowling the streets of my beloved neighborhood just this week, rubbing elbows (and perhaps a few other things) with a certain Archibald. Could this cougar be on the prowl for some fine young flesh? I could tell you…but it’s so much more fun to make you wait. You know you love me…XOXO.
