'Gossip Girl' Trailer Is Here!

One of my major regrets over the past year — at least in regards to this blog — has been my lack of consistent Gossip Girl coverage. I can’t promise that I’ll improve this season (dare to dream), but in the meantime, I will provide content when I’m able to. Case in point: this new teaser trailer …

'Gossip Girl' Introduces Edith Wharton to the Tween Set

It was so nice to have Gossip Girl back last night. I haven’t written about the show in quite some time, but don’t take that as a lack of interest in my part. The show is still awesome, even when it does dabble in absolutely ridiculous and idiotic storylines (ie. anything Vanessa, the WRECKER, is …

BEST OF 2008: Television Edition

2008 was a curious year for television, what with the writers strike and all. Seasons got messed up, late night shows went without comedy, and CBS aired a bonus edition of Big Brother — which sadly was universally loathed by pretty much everyone but me. That’s okay though. I don’t mind being a maverick when …

And The Award for Greatest Over-Acting Of The Year Goes To…

I think we can all agree that Ed Westwick, a.k.a. Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl, is universally awesome and one of the best young actors on television right now. That being said, his melodramatic turn as the grieving, embittered son of Bart Bass on last night’s episode was a bit much. Not a single line …

I Guess Now Would Be A Good Time To Talk About 'Gossip Girl.'

“I’m mad!”“So am I!” I’m very happy to report that Gossip Girl got back on strong footing this week. The past several episodes have been fun, but definitely flimsy, thanks to a tedious Jenny storyline, not to mention a hapless Nate who’s spent much of the season arbitrarily pining after various women. I did like …

The Shilling of Molly Hartley

Okay, everyone, I’m blatantly shilling The Haunting of Molly Hartley. I’m working on a script with the producers of this horror movie (out today!), and they’re really cool, nice people; so support their movie! Besides, it’s got Chace Crawford — a.k.a. Nate Archibald from Gossip Girl. Just think of the potential: Nate AND ghosts! He …

They Should Just Call The Show 'Vanessa Ruins Everything.'

Vanessa was only in a handful of scenes on tonight’s Gossip Girl, but she still managed to ruin EVERYTHING by planting a seed of distrust in Dan that he later passed along to Blair, who then botched up her big “I love you” moment with Chuck. Anti-LOL on that, yo. It seems like every episode, …

New CW Promo Proves To Be Catchiest In Network's History

Monday’s Gossip Girl had plenty of wonderful moments (none of which included Vanessa), but perhaps the best part of the hour was something that didn’t even happen in the show. Instead, it was a nifty little promo made by The CW to promote what else? Chuck Bass. Set to this fall’s catchiest pop ditty, “Womanizer” …

'Gossip Girl' Goes To Yale, Hilarity Ensues

How good was Gossip Girl last night? It was THIIISSS good (imagine me spreading my arms out as widely as possible). After a fairly silly episode featuring the ups and downs of Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion show, Gossip Girl rebounded with an installment so chock-full of great one liners that it instantly deserves classic status. The …
