People.com Gossip Girl News - Gossip Girl Fan Site The third season of Gossip Girl, which began filming last month in New York, will include even more twists than the previous two, says Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa on the CW show. “It’s like a new chapter in everyone’s life,” Szohr, 24, told PEOPLE Wednesday at a Charlotte Russe fashion event in New York. “We’re all off to college, we’re working. There’s a lot of guest stars coming on, new relationships are formed.” In addition to Hilary Duff, former Privileged actress Joanna GarciaChace Crawford. Garcia plays a Texas socialite who rivals Crawford’s Nate Archibald in wealth and status — and she just might be off-limits. will play a new love interest for heartthrob “We have sort of a Romeo and Juliet love story,” Garcia tells PEOPLE.While romances bloom on set during the new season, the off-screen romances between stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley and Szohr and Ed Westwick make the cast a tight-knit bunch. But Garcia said the close group has welcomed her with open arms. “I was really nervous coming in,” says Garcia, who is currently slated to appear in four episodes. “[But] they’ve been so warm and welcoming and lovely. It’s been so nice. They’ve been making me feel like New York isn’t such a big city.” Things won’t bet getting so warm and fuzzy on screen, however, as Szohr says there are plenty of surprises in store. “Someone ends up not being who they say they are,” she reveals. “It’s just lots of drama and crazy stuff.” Also crazy: Gossip Girl’s fans, who clamor to catch a glimpse of the hot young cast while they’re shooting on location in the Big Apple. “It’s been nuts. I don’t know what’s happened over our break,” Szorh says. “Coming back, none of us have ever seen it like how it’s been. But it’s a good thing. We’re blessed to be working on a fun cool show with cool people in New York.” – Kelsey Witten

Actress HILARY DUFF made sure she was a hit with the cast and crew of GOSSIP GIRL when she filmed her cameo appearance on the hit show - she arrived on set with cupcakes. The 21 year old guest stars as college student Olivia Burke in upcoming episodes of the teen programme, which stars Chace Crawford and Leighton Meester. Duff wanted to ensure she got on well with her TV colleagues - so she turned up to the New York City shoot armed with baked goods.
A source tells OK! magazine, "She was coming into a tight-knit group; she wanted to get off on the right foot." The blonde beauty isn't the first actress to win over her castmates with sweet treats - Katie Holmes generously bought cupcakes for the 200-strong cast and crew working on her 2008 movie Mad Money.

Following the internet leak of the Anna Sui for Target lookbook last month, Target execs have been quick to backpedal on any suggestion that the range has been inspired by Gossip Girl. "One of Target's top executives got nervous about being that closely associated with the show, given the [debauchery] its characters get into," a source told the New York Daily News. An episode of Gossip Girl was scheduled to shoot inside Anna Sui's SoHo flagship store last Thursday. Models dressed in the designer's Target range were going to be used as extras in the background, and even Sui herself was rumoured to make a cameo appearance. However, Target pulled out of the shoot at the last minute, leaving everyone on the Gossip Girl set furious. "The crew was thrown into a frenzy because they had to scrap everything they had planned," says an insider. "They can't believe Target would bail on them, especially after publicly announcing the collaboration. It's Target's loss, because the line would have sold better if it had played a part in the show." Regardless of the fall-out, the Anna Sui for Target collection will go on sale in September as planned.

First Jessica and Tony, now this! We've all heard the tales of stinkiness, sloppiness and unneighborliness coming from the apartment of Gossip Girl babes Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick, but we always thought their togetherness was sweetly bromantic. But now, word is that Footloose star Crawford is hot-stepping out on Jessica Szohr's man and moving downtown to be closer to Wall Street. Why Wall Street? Yeah, we're not sure, either.
ADD A COMMENT |  Taylor Momsen might want to consider auditioning for a role in an upcoming "Twilight" flick. The "Gossip Girl" star-turned-punk rocker has been keeping some late hours moonlighting as a rock star in her band, the Pretty Reckless. "I'm nocturnal," Momsen told MTV News. "I'm a vampire, I decided. I write at night. I don't write a song; I write in a stream of consciousness. I never edit everything. I have books of lyrics. You can write a hundred songs from it, but I try to pick one stream." Momsen said she had been hard at work on her music long before she formed a band and got a record deal. "I wrote the whole record first before I looked for a band, really," she said. The debut Pretty Reckless album, which drops in the fall, will cover a wide range of topics, none of which you should analyze as direct comments about Momsen's life. "A lot of the songs aren't specific," she said. "I write about how I feel and what I think and what's influencing me at that moment in time. It's not necessarily about a boyfriend, even though it might sound like it. Every lyric has at least four different undertones. There's a light version ... and then a really, really demented version. There's different ways to see it. That's the way I like it, 'cause I don't want you to know everything about me." But there is one thing about her she wants to clear up. Thanks to her life on "Gossip Girl," Momsen knows how powerful rumors can be. And there's one particularly crazy rumor she insists just isn't true. "I don't really Google myself," she said. "I try not to. I read somewhere there was this whole blog about how I shoot heroin. I was like, 'Guys, I don't shoot heroin.' Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's really obscene. I like Kurt Cobain, but I'm not trying to emulate everything about him."

I could've sworn "Gossip Girl"'s powers-that-be said Derena was dunzo last season. But does this photo, just taken on set, indicate otherwise? As we all know, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are real-life bf/gf, so maybe this was just an intimate personal moment...Or maybe it's an attempt by the producers' to drive fans insane...Thoughts?

| 7/8/09Source: Life & Style Before any more gossip spreads, Kelly Rutherford is giving her side of the story about the drama surrounding her estranged husband, Daniel Giersch,and their two kids. The CW star, whois in the midst of a bitter custody battle with Giersch over the former couple's2-year-old son, Hermes, and newborn daughter Helena, reveals to Life & Style that she chose to leave her spouse while she was pregnant because "it was pretty obvious [they] weren't getting along." Add to the mix, according to Rutherford, entrepreneur Giersch's mounting legal troubles involving several lawsuits and "things only got more intense."
Soon after filing for divorce, the 40-year-old actress found herself in the delivery room giving birth to her baby—but without Giersch present. "When you're in labor, you don't want the man you're divorcing in there, especially someone who's said cruel things about you," she explains. Meanwhile, things are heating up in the L.A.courts, as Giersch tries to prevent Rutherford from taking Hermes back to New York while she works onGossip Girl. "I'm notmoving without my kid," she insists. "I'm not doing anything without my son." What's more, Rutherford believes having dad out of the picture altogether wouldn'tbe so bad. "The most important thing is that children have love and stability in their lives, whether that comes from a mother or a father. [Alone], I can raise them to be much more peaceful."

Don't hate her because she's beautiful. Blake Lively, the gorgeous star of the hit  TV show Gossip Girl, comes by her good looks without too much effort."I have never worked out," Lively, 21, says in the August issue of UK Glamour. "I do panic before I have to wear a really skimpy outfit, but I don't have enough willpower [to exercise]."Even shooting a scene where she had to wear cut-off jeans and a bra recently didn't faze her. "I had to do a scene in a bra and shorts for the first time in two years," Blake recalls. "On the day of the shoot, I ate a pork burrito, chips and coke. Afterwards, I thought, 'I probably shouldn't have done that.' But whatever."When you look that good naturally, it's hard to make a case for regular workouts. But the svelte Lively wants to start working out at some point because she knows exercise is good for you."I know you feel better when you [work out], so I am planning on getting a trainer," she says. One person who's not complaining about Blake's physique is her boyfriend and co-star Penn Badgely, 22. The attractive couple has been dating since 2007.

Production continues on the NYC set of the hit CW series Gossip Girl as Chace Crawford was spotted filming new scenes for the show’s upcoming 3rd season with a new castmember. Here are pics of Chace and actress Joanna Garcia on the set of Gossip Girl earlier today: 
As you may already know, Joanna Garcia starred on another CW series called Privileged but that show got canned so, thankfully, she got picked up to join Gossip Girl. It’s unclear what character she’ll be playing (sexy older woman? college teaching assistant?) but one suspects she’s just as rich as the GG kids are. The scenes filmed today were done on a heliport … so Garcia’s character prolly has a lot of cash. I can’t wait to see if she brings something new and exciting to the show.

 Is the Upper East Side big enough for Serena, Blair and the Duffster?! We're about to find out because the onetime tween sensation is joining Gossip Girl for a multi-episode arc, sources confirm to me exclusively.The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it's safe to say she'll be majoring in Drama!Duff will debut in this season's fourth episode, slated to air Oct. 5. Gossip producers spotted an opening in Duff's schedule after NBC passed on her comedy pilot Barely Legal. What say you, Gossip gurus? Do you approve of Duff's casting? Thoughts on who she'll be paired with romantically? (My guess: Dan.)
