Gossip Girl

Now, I'll shamelessly admit that I love Gossip Girl. It's fun, has good clothes, really pretty people, and good pop music. It also makes me feel young in a weird transcendental sort of way, even though by principal I should feel fat, ugly, and old compared to the kids romping across the screen.

What I also love about a show like this, just as with The OC, you get some good on-set drama to go along with the on-screen antics.

NY DailyNews Gatecrasher is reports the following:
"Leighton Meester and Blake Lively avoid each other like the plague while castmates choose sides," says a snitch.
"Chace Crawford tends to stick close to Leighton, while Penn Badgley hangs on and offscreen with Blake. The crew will snag Blake for a scene just moments before it is shot so they can avoid any awkwardness with Leighton." (click here to read the full article which then goes on to reveal the identity of the Gossip Girl along with some info about Lively and Badgley kissing on 5th ave or something).

Of course it's always the girls who start the shit on set, right? Personally, I think that this is just what happens when you put a bunch of people with dumb dumb names together: Blake Lively, Leigthon Meester, and Penn Badgley. What the fuck kind of goddamn names are these?? Don't any of these people have real normal names, like Mike, or Jen, or Brian, or Mary?

Pretending the rumor is true, if I was on set I think I would have a really tough time choosing sides between Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. I mean I don't know anything about these people, but based solely on looks it's a tough call:

I mean Blake always looks young and happy and energetic, and she seems like the kind of girl who would prank the shit out of Leighton in her off time, which is always a fun past time, especially if it involves boozes. Leighton on the other hand is beautiful, has amazing hair, and would probably be an amazing shopping partner. She also looks like the kind of girl who would take you to lunch a lot, and a free lunch in always a good thing in my book.
