Ha! I kid you not.   This website is really extensive too.  It has sections such as: How We Met, Reception, Ceremony, Bridal Party, Proposal, and even their own blog.  I love this move on the shows behalf.  Anyways, here is the link to the website.

13 May 2008 - 7:56Georgina Is Moving In On Dan

Serena & Blair go searching for Georgina & Dan

Ok, another ridiculous episode.  I’m happy to finally know Serena’s big secret… It would have been kind of awkward if she actually killed someone.  Georgina is out of control.  How in the world is she going to get away with all these lies?  And don’t even get me started on how absurd it was that Lilly & Rufus made out the night of her rehearsal dinner.  How are they going to wrap all this up in one episode?  I feel like we’re all going to be left with a lot of questions unanswered.

8 May 2008 - 6:39Gossip Girl To Get A Super Long 2nd Season

Gossip Girl Long Season

EOnline is reporting that the CW plans to have a super long season of Gossip Girl next year to make up for the writer’s strike.  This is kind of surprising considering how low the ratings have been since the show picked back up.

Leighton Meester also revealed that in the next season Gossip Girl will have a few episodes that take place in the Hamptons.

Other notable information from the article is that Georgina is set to become a full time character.  I don’t know if I’m going to be able to handle her on a permanent basis.

7 May 2008 - 6:22People Magazine Interview With Eric Van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo)

peoplemag.jpg

People Magazine recently did an interview with  Eric Van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) about his character coming out of the closet…

How does it feel to be playing a gay character on a popular TV show?
I’m an actor and it’s a part. Being gay is nothing but another way to live your life. It’s just who he is.

A lot of gay teens will be excited to see someone gay on the show. Are you ready for that?
I guess it’s a possibility that fans could take Eric’s coming into his own as a source of inspiration. He does it with a degree of gentility and self-respect. He doesn’t make apologies for who he is.

Did the fact that he tried to kill himself earlier have anything to do with being gay?
As the actor portraying Eric, I don’t believe that I tried to commit suicide because of that. Eric is 14 so his decision to be gay could be permanent. It might not be. It’s about finding yourself. At the moment, this is who he sees himself as … that’s very empowering.

How will the news play out in the next few episodes?
My issues get swept under the rug in the face of Georgina. She has information about my family that no one else is privy to. Dealing with Georgina becomes the main focus because things become very, very hairy.

How will the other characters react to the news? Everyone okay with it?
Each character has their own reaction. It does seem to create a rift between me and Jenny. Chuck steps up as big brother though.

So this brings out the nicer side of Chuck?
Eric’s relationship with Chuck is a vehicle for seeing that he does have a good side. He can be a good person when duty calls. Chuck seems to really care about Eric. It’s a time when Eric feels very alone. Chuck does not push him away as many other people are inclined to do. Eric gets to have a good time with Chuck. Most people have been coddling him because they think he’s a suicide risk, Chuck is totally open to let Eric enjoy his life rather than try to preserve it.

But there are going to be some intense discussions about the fact he’s gay, right?
Is there ever a Gossip Girl [episode] without them?

When did you find out your character was gay?
I was told about a month ago. Two of the producers explained the situation. It seemed like a good thing. Up to this point, I’ve had a volatile role on the show. Sometimes, I’m there. Sometimes, I’m not. It’s the producers giving me more screen time and a chance to prove myself as an actor — so I wanted to make sure I delivered.

Did you have to keep it a secret?
We tried to keep it under wraps as long as possible.

How did that go?
Pretty well, actually. The cast has as much to lose by secrets getting out. There’d been a lot of conjecture but no real facts had been slipped.

What helped you prepare for this episode?
I feel like I know Eric better than most people so I drew on my knowledge of the character. I did have some conversations with Stephanie [Savage, the executive producer] and Joe [Lazarov, also a producer] working out the ins and outs of how this developed.”

6 May 2008 - 10:25Erik Is Gay. Asher Is Gay. Serena Is A Murderer.

Erik Van Der Woodsen

Ok, that was the most ridiculous hour of television I have ever watched.  So much for Serena’s big problem being a sex tape.  Who would have ever thought that a sex tape would be 30x less scandalous than the truth.  Not to mention Jenny’s boyfriend Asher, is hooking up with Serena’s little brother Erik.  So… between Jenny & Asher, Asher & Erik, Serena & Dan and Rufus & Lily they have really created an incredible spider web of incest on this show.  Ridiculous.  But very entertaining.

1 May 2008 - 7:39Ed Westwick In “Son of Rambow”

Ed Westwick will play older brother, “Lawrence”, in the upcoming film “Son of Rambow”.  It’s gonna be weird to see Ed playing a character other than creepy Chuck.  I have a strange feeling that his character in this film that is set in England in the 1980s won’t dress much like Chuck either.
