Gossip Girl Stars: Hard at Work
Gossip Girl Stars: Hard at Work
Though the show is called Gossip Girl, there are still plenty of hot guys as well. And Penn Badgley and Chace Crawford were busy adding some male sex appeal to the set this morning.
Sporting a grey t-shirt, distressed jeans, and a pair of brown suede shoes, Mr. Badgley was all about brightening the day of a few female fans with a meet and greet.
Meanwhile, Chace had his hands full with a whole different kind of female admirer- new co-star Madchen Amick. And it looks like they’ll have plenty of on-screen chemistry!
Miss Amick is being brought in for the new season as an older May-December love interest for Crawford’s character Nate Archibald. And according to the rumor mill, Madchen’s character has a host of other surprises up her sleeve.

With the overwhelming success of Gossip Girl, it appears producers are already thinking about how to expand the storyline. And when Madchen Amick appeared on the set earlier today, it opened a whole new can of worms.
The “Twin Peaks” beauty, 37, is reportedly set to play Catherine Mason, a May-December older love interest for Chace Crawford’s character. And with a hot body like that, Nate Archibald will be after her in no time!
Speaking of Chace, he was looking might fine today on the GG set as well, sporting a blue polo shirt and grey trousers as he listened to his iPod between scenes.
The paparazzi also nabbed shots of Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Penn Badgley, and Blake Lively all hard at work on episodes for next season.
Theaters Give Chace on Halloween
While CW fans get to know him as lacrosse-playing teen-about-town Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl, Chace Crawford has also been busy screaming for his supper.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley, a supernatural thriller starring the 22-year-old heartthrob (who also made magic in the teen-witch chiller The Covenant), has been given a Halloween 2008 release date after indie distributor Freestyle Releasing acquired the U.S. rights to the film, the company announced Thursday.
Crawford plays Joseph, the nice guy who befriends new-girl-in-school Molly (Haley Bennett), who, for unknown reasons, is becoming increasingly freaked out by… something.
Crawford is one on a long list of current and former CW/WB/UPN stars, including Chad Michael Murrary, Jessica Biel, Sophia Bush, Barry Watson, Tom Welling, Kristen Bell, Brandy and Emily VanCamp, who have flashed their scary sides to beef up their big-screen credentials.
Gossip Girl: Getting Up Close and Personal
The gorgeous cast of Gossip Girl left their home base of New York City this weekend and flew to Los Angeles where they were honored by the Paley Center for Media. Not only was the panel one of the prettiest we've ever seen, but it was one of the most fun, too.
Click in below for more pics and scoop from the night…
Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen), who was introduced by moderator Tim Stack as "the best head of hair in Hollywood," and Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf), who was originally a blonde and had to dye her hair during the Gossip Girl audition process, pose for the photogs with Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey).
Taylor meets up with Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa Abrams), whose characters will begin hanging out when the series returns for five new episodes on April 21. Fun fact: Jessica met Girl executive producer Josh Schwartz last year when she attended a barbeque at his house with mutual friends. He took one look at her and told producing partner Stephanie Savage, "That's Vanessa!"
Seen here with Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) made the ladies swoon with his thick British accent—and made it impossible for Josh Schwartz to understand a word he said. He gave two thumbs up to the pairing of his character, Chuck, with bratty girl Blair. Of her portrayer, Leighton, he said "How could I not [be happy]? I mean, come on, look at her." Awww…
The show's resident good guy, Dan Humphrey (played by Penn Badgley), will get dirtied up a bit this spring…though his lady love, Serena, will likely get in more trouble. Schwartz promises the return of "bad girl" S.
Kelly Rutherford's character, Lily, may or may not be a bride to be. "We are building toward a wedding, but we won't say whose [wedding] or if it happens," said Savage. As for Lily's shaky relationship with Rufus Humphrey, Matthew Settle doesn't see why it would be a problem for their respective onscreen kids, Serena and Dan: "It's 2008. I think they should have a double date…"
By the way, Blair and Jenny go to war this spring, Schwartz told the audience. But when Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), a blast from Serena's past, shows up, Blair will be very intimidated…
Stay tuned!
