Getting To Know You!

“I’ve gotten really close to the entire Jonas family this past year,” “Nick and I are getting to know each other, but we’re not confirming anything.” - Selena Gomez telling about her "relationship" to TV Guide. :] (There so going out.)

The Weekly Gossip Girl Realism Scale

Every Tuesday, the previous night's Gossip Girl episode is reviewed by New York Magazine and assigned scores according to its "reality index." Below are some of the highlights, realistic and otherwise, from the publication's meticulous, hilarious of this week's episode, "The Serena Also Rises":

•Laurel: "Kirsten Dunst? So 2007. Her rehab barely made the radar.” Plus 2, because that is kind of totally true and Plus 5 for awesome bridge-burning.

•How come Eleanor Waldorf lets teenagers decide everything for her? Minus 6.

•Plus 2 for Dan Humphrey, after all his chatter about getting out of his comfort zone and the bravado of punching the guy in the club, melting into a puddle of teen angst about how his dad will react the second he and Chuck end up in jail.

•Minus 1 for Jenny wearing a string of Jell-O cubes around her neck.

•Blair takes out her rage at being usurped by Serena on Jenny, perpetuating a centuries-old cycle of girl-on-girl bullying. Plus 8.

•Minus 3 because why doesn’t anybody ever rat out Blair to her mom? Is she the only one who gets to call in adults in case of emergency?

•Dan and Chuck in jail? No way. Cops never get called to exclusive clubs, and if they did, the perpetrators would never get arrested. Minus 4.

•It's about time the Blair vs. Serena jealousy-insecurity thing came to a head again. Plus 10 to Gossip Girl writers for putting that out there.

• “Are you gay?” Chuck asks Dan after he asks to get close to him. Plus 2, because finally. Plus an extra 3 for Chuck's totally absurd neck scarf.

• “Don’t ever go to high school, Dorota! The girls are spoiled stupid and ungrateful,” wails Blair. Plus 5 for the decibel at which this rant is performed. It actually seems like Blair is going to hyperventilate, just like a real adolescent would. And plus 20 for Blair's assumption that Dorota hasn’t already gone to high school.

•Of course Bart hired a private investigator to follow Lily. Plus 2, and of course she didn’t end up caring once he gives her jewelry. Plus 2.

•The next episode teaser shows Serena and Blair at Yale. Could they be setting the stage for Gossip Girl to spin off into a college drama? Plus 5 for dreamers who dream dreams. But minus 5 because Serena would never get into Yale.

:]

Yum! It's The Gossip Guys.

Gossip Girl hotties Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley ooze some serious deliciousness on the November 2008 issue of Details Magazine. I think the executives from Gossip Girl have finally realized that Penn and Chuck are the more attractive of the 3. Penn looks incredibly hansome and Chuck looks like his awesome self. Nate just looks okay theres something wierd about his hair. I really have never had a thing for nate. But Penn's hair looks awesome and the tan skin thing is so awesome. Here are some hilites from the interview :

Chace on after his touch-ups are done: “I literally go into the bathroom and wipe off one layer [of makeup. My occasional zit is] a big deal—oh, they turn on the alarms for that. And they get mad if I get sunburned or if I get a haircut.”

Chace on being contracted for six years, like his costars: “It never really gets frustrating. Sure, sometimes you just want to have a scene where you’re drunk or having fun. I’m hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!”

Penn on his on-and-off-screen relationship with costar Blake Lively (they were home-schooled together): “[It's] wonderful and also something to grapple with [in terms of mixing work and pleasure]. You have to draw the line somewhere. I’m fine talking about my family and personal history, because it humanizes you. But I have to save some s— for me.”

Ed on Penn’s chest hair: “Penn said he has to shave his chest hair because it’s threatening “Reeeaallly … Well, I think Penn’s chest hair may be more like a scaahf. It actually comes out of his neck! So maybe that’s why he has to cut it. Threatening? I don’t know what threatening hair would look like. We’d have to get Penn here to see!”

Ed on being miserable approaching the end of school in the U.K.:”I don’t understand how the government expects a 16-year-old to know what they want to do. It made me incredibly anxious and upset.”

Soo Akward :]

Good girl no more Serena Van der Woodsen, aka Blake Lively , kisses her new love interest on Gossip Girl, played by Stick Its John Patrick Amedori, in the middle of Times Square in New York City on Tuesday. According to E!. Amedori and Lively (both 21) shared the on-set smooch with everyone in the vicinity. It even appeared on the world’s largest JumboTron screen! In the show, Amedori plays an artist with a philanthropic side in the current second season. In the book he plays Blairs step brother. Personally I think this is so wierd because off screen Blake and Penn are so adorable. Wow that must have been akward. On set Penn and Blake have so much chemistry, you can tell these two look uncomfortable. Must keep telling myself its just a show (well an awesome one at that). Maybe the on set relationship wont last. :]

Akward :?

No Bubblegum Here

''I'm a pop singer. I'm not gonna try to be 'Oh, I'm hardcore....' I'm with Disney! But bubblegum isn't really my thing.'' - Demi Lovato

Jesse's Going Greek

According to EW, Jesse McCartney will be joining the Greek cast on ABC Family. The singer/actor will play the part of Andy, a heavily recruited freshman jock who'll be torn between two of the Frats on the show. He's set to make his Greek debut in early '09 when the show kicks off its fourth season. Good for him maybe he will sing on the show! :]

ANTM Gamer Style

An America's Next Top Model video game for Nintendo DS will hit the shelves in November.
You'll guide your very own model in her quest for the top model crown. There'll be challenges and photo shoots just like the show! Im so excited (Haha lame I know) this game is so going to be awesome. Make sure to watch on Wednesdays on The CW. :]

Is that Ashlee Simpson?

Is that Ashlee Simpson? No it's Rumer Willis with her new and improved hair. :]

Rumer Willis goes through airport security and then departs from LAX on Saturday. She will guest star on CSI: NY’s landmark 100th episode, where she will be playing a character by the name of Mac Taylor. The epsiode will air on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Personally i think she looks so much better with the long hair. It makes her look so much more feminine. She has such a strong face and the shirt hair was to harsh. The long hair is a great improvment and the red sticks out in a good way. Is long red hair the way of the future? Who knows. What do you think of this new look: Woohoo or Boohoo?

A Girl Anthem :]

Britney Spears a surprise visit at radio station Z100 New York City on Monday afternoon. Here's what she had to say:

Talk about [your new single] “Womanizer”. It’s a really cool song. I like the fact that it’s so empowering for girls because it’s basically saying, ya know, we know what you’re up to. It’s about guys cheating on other girls and stuff like that. And it’s kinda like a girl anthem, so that’s why I like it.

I gotta ask about the T word here. Are we gonna see a tour anytime soon? We’re dying for a tour. Oh, definitely next year. Definitely.

Anything else you want to say to New York City that we don’t all ready know? I miss it here so much! I love it so much! It makes me it’s kinda like bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years. And when I come here, it’s like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still. But I love it. It’s the energy. It’s crazy.

Listen to the full Britney interview at Z100.com. :]

Fairy Dust :]

Paris Hilton's fifth addition to her fragrance empire, Fairy Dust, won’t be hitting stores until the middle of next month, but here is an exclusive first look at the new images from her print campaign. The ads for the pink peony, orange blossom, gardenia and vanilla creme features a winged, wand-wielding Paris playing a real-life fairy, and asks, “Do you believe in fairy tales?” She looks like on of those Babrie Fairytopia dolla. :]
:]

Fashion Face-Off

It's 90210 vs. The Hills – on the same night! Doherty wore her red Richard Ruiz to The Late Show with David Letterman while Conrad sported the black version to a Nylon party. Which do you like better? The red flowing one with strappy gold shoes, or the black cinched at the waist version.

Feeling Blue

Daniel Radcliffe was recently seen in a blue suit, While walking the red carpet to the opening night after-party for his Broadway debut of Equus at New York's Pier 60. The blue is nice on him and its not bad, But i think we should leave the colored suits to Chuck Bass. Maybe Colored suits are popular for men in Engalnd.



But i think we should leave the colored suits to Chuck Bass. Maybe Colored suits are popular for men in Engalnd. Hmm.. Chuck dont let this stop you from wearing more colored suits. Daniel, Chuck is calling he wants his colored suit back. :]

Miley, Models, & Mystery :]

Miley Cyrus and "boyfriend" Justin Gaston have dinner at Table 8 in Los Angeles on Thursday night. The couple has usually been seen out and about with Miley’s parents, but this time they had some alone time! They were also seen in the car together. Uh-Oh I keep trying to convince myself they arent together but uh... dinner without the parents. I need some holding hands, hugging, kissing (yuck) proof. Until then we will have to see. Oh and Miley your bangs were staring to look so cute again. Not these new bangs are terrible. But why did you have to cut them? Ooh if Justin told you to do it, didnt we already learn out lesson not to listen to boyfriends (Nick) about what to do with our hair. We dont want you to dye your hair all black again. :?

The Serena Also Rises

The upcoming episode of Gossip Girl is bound to be great. Just take a look at this photo. Is that Serena? Sorry Blair its Serenas time to shine. :]

Be Careful Miley

Miley Cyrus has developed a vocal chord nodule, caused by continual straining of the voice. If left untreated the small bundle of tissue could lead to surgery and affect Miley's voice. "Her concerned parents took her to the doctor, who diagnosed the beginning stages of a nodule," a source told Star Magazine. Miley's doctor has recommended that she rest her vocal chords for three weeks. Ignoring the doctor's advice, Miley kept her recent performances, at Stand Up to Cancer event on September 5 and Concert for Hope fund-raisers on September 14, short. She plans to go ahead with her concert at Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort Casino on Saturday, September 27. Could her vocal chord strain be the reason why the normally super busy Miley has been finding time to go around with new boyfriend Justin Gaston almost daily? Be careful Miley! :/

What A Cutie.

A pregnant Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet Affleck share a smile as they head to a nursery school in Santa Monica, Calif. on Wednesday. Jen, 36, will be hosting the first “Voices for a Senate Majority” fundraiser to support Democratic senatorial candidates. Most kids are crying on the first days of school but Violet looks to happy. Shes so cute. :]

Still Together :]

Even though this couple may be broken up on Gossip Girl they are still happy and adorable together off screen. Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley head to the their set in New York City on Tuesday. Penn, 21, reportedly was a good Samaritan on-set as he helped open a door when a lady came in her apartment pushing a baby on a stroller. What a gentleman! After those last two episodes I was worried about them. But then i realized those episodes were filmed months ago! Silly me, anyways just a cute picture of the couple. :]

Chuck Bass Snogging ... Drew Barrymore?

Last night photos sprung up of *GASP Drew Barrymore and Ed Westwick in full makeout mode. Woah woah woah isn't it Nate who goes for the older women? Barrymore is 33 and Westwick is 21. A bit of an age difference if you ask. Don't get me wrong the whole British accent thing is definitely a huge plus and he is on Gossip Girl. Meaning you would get to meet Leighton, Blake and Penn (*Swoon). A Vanity Fair photographer caught the actress and the 'Gossip Girl' star in a heavy makeout session at the Kings of Leon concert on Sept. 23. Us Weekly reports that "They were spotted chatting this past weekend at a Saturday Night Live after-party, which The Kings of Leon also played. They then headed to NYC's hip Fat Cat Billiards, where they stayed until 6 a.m., shooting pool with Gossip Girl cast members (including Crawford), actress Ellen Page and Emile Hirsch." What do you think of this new couple- Woohoo or Boohoo?

The Weekly Gossip Girl Realism Scale

Each Gossip Girl episode is reviewed by New York Magazine, then assigned a score according to their staff's arbitrary but hilarious "realism index."

Here are some of the highlights, both realistic and otherwise, from the publication's meticulous analysis of week's show, "The Ex-Files"

• Plus 2 for Lily finally coming home. And an additional Plus 1 for the fact that her version of "caring" for her kids is overordering room service. Plus 2.

• Didn't they just befriend Nelly Yuki to bring her down? Why is she still hanging around? Is it seriously because the other Asian girl left the show? Minus 2.
• "Google revenge, you'll get BlairWaldorf.com," says Dan. Snarf, snarf, snarf, you can't win us back that easily, you sexy dweeb. Minus 1.

• "Having to see him," Serena admits to Lily, "it's going to be hard." She seems so sweet and unsure, huh? Our immediate reaction was: "Aw, that's sweet. This will change." Plus 4, because we were so right.

• Wait, did Nate just randomly (and awkwardly) catch up with Vanessa on a random Brooklyn street corner? What, is Brooklyn Chelsea now? Minus 1.

  

• "Are those Tory Burch's last-season flats?" Blair asks. "I got them on sale?" the poor girl replies. Plus 3, because Blair's expression does not change a tic, but somehow gets TEN TIMES MORE EVIL. Leighton Meester is a genius.

• "I guess it's better to be ignored than tortured," Jenny says. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Oh, Lil J. Obviously, that's not true. Minus 2.

• Serena thinks it’s a good idea to try to be friends with Dan. "Friends eat lunch together," she says hopefully. Awkward. Also, completely realistic. Plus 5.

• This new "Amanda" girl is too aggressive. It's like she's up to something. Minus 2, because this should have been less obvious.

• "Lunch?" Blair asks. "As in the meal before dating?" Plus 3.

• Ha, Amanda is is kind of Hannah Montana–esque. Plus 1 for Jenny Humphrey, who is completely master of her domain this season.

• Dan says to Vanessa, "Look, V, I gotta go." What, he talks like them now!? Minus 2, because he's too self-centered to pick up on mannerisms of others.

Who Said- Hannah Montana

"I am fully committed to Hannah Montana . It's what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people," Cyrus tells PEOPLE, adding, "I couldn't do it alone. We have an amazing cast that is so supportive, including my dad who has been there for me every step of the way."

Over the weekend reports circulated that Cyrus, 15, and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, have been causing drama on the Disney Channel set by coming to work late and openly talking about wanting to get fired. There were also rumors of a rift between Miley and her costar Emily Osment. A Disney Channel rep calls talk of on-set squabbles "just gossip," while a source close to Miley Cyrus says: "It's a lot of craziness." "Every minute of her day is planned out. When she's not shooting the movie or the series, she's recording the [Hannah Montana] soundtrack.It's not going away any time soon." Phew. Miley's blond wig and catchy dance tunes aren't going anywhere. Children breath a sigh of relief our favorite pop sensation Hannah Montana is here to stay! :]
