“The Vampire Diaries” executive producer Bob Levy has promised that he would work hard to make the show crossing path with “Gossip Girl“. The idea is to have either Nina Dobrev’s Elena visiting the Upper East Side or Leighton Meester’s Blair coming to Mystic Falls.
Proposed with the idea, Levy said, “I love that idea!” He added to E! Online, “We’re gonna work on that. You have my word.” Dobrev herself is excited at making a cameo on another show. “Oh my god, I would love to be on ‘Gossip Girl’,” she said. “I feel like it’s hard to do because we’re both so busy. But I would love to, and I would for her to be on our show. Leighton would make a great vampire, I think!”
Beside the cramped schedule, Dobrev would also have to think about the shooting location. “Vampire” production takes place in Atlanta while “Gossip” shoots in New York. “The trick is tearing Nina away from Atlanta,” Levy thought about a solution. “She’s in almost every scene of every episode. So it’s hard scheduling-wise to work that out. But I love that pitch! Good pitch. We’re gonna work to make it happen.”
In real life, Nina Dobrev and Leighton Meester are friends. They met while shooting for “The Roommate“, a psychological thriller about a deranged college freshman which will be screened in U.S. theaters on September 17.
William Baldwin is not so excited at the thought that he will be the father of Blake Lively on “Gossip Girl“. Questioned by his own older brother, Alec Baldwin, during the red carpet of Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday, January 23, William said that he feels old.
“Ooh, that hurt,” William said in response to Alec’s “So you’re gonna go play Blake Lively’s dad on ‘Gossip Girl’?”. He added, “Three years ago I would have been playing the older man in her life and now, all of a sudden, I’m playing her dad.”
Not stopping there, Alec who took over Access Hollywood’s mic, said “It seems like yesterday you’d be kissing Blake Lively. Now you’re trying to prevent other men from kissing Blake Lively.” William responded with a sigh, “I would’ve been Blake Lively’s lollipop three years ago. Now I’m Grandpa.”
William Baldwin begins his guest starring appearance as Dr. William van der Woodsen on the April 26 episode.
A fact that has got fans of “Gossip Girl” rooting for the show will soon be ended. E! Online reported that the show’s fan-favorite couple will meet a dead end in their relationship and that “it’s a bad, bad breakup.”
There will be no more Chuck and Blair romance in the upcoming episodes. This has been a rumor for sometime but E! could confirm the news, adding that the culprit in the split is Chuck. The Bass Empire successor does “something horrible” that everyone will hate him for it. His uncle Jack Bass is also involved in the implication.
“Gossip Girl” is taking a hiatus to give the time slot for new series “Life Unexpected“. It will return on March 8 but the break up plot will only occur either on April 5 episode “Inglourious Bassterds” or the next one, “The Unblairable Lightness of Being“.
I just obtained some rock-solid intel that should aid Serena in her search for her missing dad: He looks just like actor William Baldwin!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Gossip Girl has tapped the former Dirty Sexy Money star to play the pivotal role of Serena and Eric’s estranged father, William van der Woodsen.
A show spokesperson declined to comment, but I’m told Baldwin is booked to appear in at least three episodes; his first airdate is slated for April. Great casting, no?
Adam Lambert has come clean that he wants to guest star on “Gossip Girl” because of the lead actor. “As long as I can do a scene opposite Chace Crawford, I’d be happy,” the singer told PopEater. “I just want a couple moments where I can just look and be like, ‘Hmmmm.’ Just some eye contact and I’ll be really happy.”
Adam previously denied an appearance on “Glee” on Twitter and went on having a wish list to make a cameo on other shows. Citing “Gossip”, he said at that time that Leighton Meester was the luring factor. Adam elaborated he would be the perfect fit as Blair’s shopping buddy.
Regarding his wish to have a role on “True Blood“, Adam said he would love the idea of having a glampire. “Maybe this vampire was an underground performer at clubs like Fangtasia and he’s part of a new movement of vampire that is in the public eye and isn’t afraid to embrace his vampire nature onstage and off,” he said. “I’m sure anybody that’s a fan of ‘True Blood’ understands the social undercurrent of the show, and it would kind of make a lot of sense.”
If he would to appear on “Weeds“, then Adam wants something out of his box. “I’d either be very sober and against the lifestyle just to kind of be ironic, or I’d be like a drug dealer or something. I just would want to go to two extremes of things that I would never be,” he told PopEater. “That would be pretty funny.”
Surprise—Taylor Momsen’s classiness extends beyond her choice of wardrobe.
While the rest of her show-business colleagues unite to provide assistance and support in the wake of Haiti’s 7.0 earthquake this week—which took an estimated 50,000 lives—the Gossip Girl hellion says she has more pressing matters on her mind. Such as herself.
Catching up with the 16-year-old at a Victoria’s Secret in New York, where she was shilling her new celebrity fragrance, OK! Magazine solicited Momsen’s thoughts on the tragedy, to which she replied:
“Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl
for right now. So not so much thinking about that.”
But hey, she does think that “it’s awesome that everyone is ya know working towards a good cause.”
Sure. And maybe when this whole Haiti thing has blown over, they can mount a fundraising drive to buy Momsen a soul.
Looks like the Gossip Girl
cast parties hard on and off set — while also carrying on the rich kid temperament of their on-screen counterparts. According to a new bit of gossip, the pack—led by Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick—acted rowdy on Tuesday night at Philippe restaurant in NYC.
The cast was loud, cursing and talking which led to customers complaints, a witness at the restaurant told the NY Post.
The situation heated up when one man at a table of lawyers and investment bankers politely asked Leighton to watch her language, and she responded brashly, “f – – – you! How dare you tell us to keep it down?”
“Other girls in their party were being really nasty, too,” the source continued.
To mediate the situation, Ed made a plea for peace.
“Don’t worry about my friends,” he said. “We should all be happy. Let’s hug it up, guys.”
The source took the opportunity to hug Ed.
The actors reps and Philippe staff declined to comment.
Earlier that evening, the cast joined together at Henri Bendel’s in NYC to celebrate the publication of You Know You Want It.
Eric Daman — costume designer for the hit CW show — wrote the book about style, inspiration and confidence. Leighton, whose on-screen character, Blair Waldorf, is always dressed in the latest and greatest, appropriately contributed the foreword.
Missing at the event were Chase Crawford and Penn Badgley, leaving Penn’s girlfriend Blake Lively to fly solo.
This just in: Leighton Meester is the worst gossip giver ever!
We ran into the Gossip Girl goddess at the opening of Klutch nightclub in Miami and she seemed to spill some very big beans on what’s ahead on her CW show:
“Someone is pregnant!”
After searching high and low, near and far, and in every imaginary OB/GYN office on the Upper East Side we have concluded: That mischievous little minx was talking about freaking Dorota. Yes, Dorota! You know, Blair’s hired hand? And this wouldn’t be such a letdown if we didn’t already know this info ages ago when it was revealed on the show.
