Gossip Girl S5: OMG Moments!

I have been unusually quiet about my favourite show ever. Here we are in the home stretch of S5 of Gossip Girl and I have barely made a comment about how crazy it has been this year.

Well, no more dear readers! Here are my top 5 OMG moments so far in Season 5 of, to borrow the phrase from NY Magazine, the greatest show of our time...

5. Nate as the big man: Pair Nate with Blair and you have fireworks, pair Nate with Serena and you have an impossibly beautiful couple on screen. Pair him with a guest star and we all get pretty bored pretty fast, so thank god this year they decided to give him a non-girl related storyline. Ok, so he had to go through getting it on with Liz Hurley in order to get to Editor of the NY Spectator and he's currently sleeping with Serena's cousin, but hey- he has never looked fitter!

4. GG is Georgina: Well, that was what we were lead to believe at the end of the 100th episode, which went down as one of the biggest surprises in GG history. Shame they went and blew it the week after by revealing she just hacked into Gossip Girl and was only pretending to be her. Having Whoregina back on a more permanent, trouble causing basis was nice, although as a long term star of the show, there is only so much crazy to go around.

3. Dan's rise and fall from fame: Suspending our belief just for one moment that Dan Humphrey could get to the top of the NY book charts for one moment and then is casually dumped the next was a great plot development for the underdog this season. Loved that he sacrificed his friends for fame, after working so hard for five years to actually fight his way in and not be deemed an outsider. Bless him that his current storyline will involve him being bad in bed with Blair as well- turns out you can't have it all Humphrey.

2. The Royal Wedding of the decade/Louis being a total ass: Wow this was an episode and a half to kick off 2012 in style. Did I see all the twists and turns coming? Hell no and that was half the fun. Chuck showing up to stop the wedding after Eleanor came to fetch him, Serena finally telling Dan how she felt, Georgina ruining the wedding and of course, Louis being revealed as the ultimate villain of the piece. I'm really sad it came to this, but after a whole season of him realising Blair loves Chuck, the worm finally turned and he totally screwed Blair over by marrying her and then heartlessly revealing he no longer has feelings for her. I actually cried at that part. Boo!

Finally! Copyright The CW
1. Dan and Blair: This has been my favourite storyline of the past year- two total opposites with great chemistry and banter that could rival the greats finally getting together. Their crazy airport dash after the wedding was fantastic, as was Blair finally realising what a great friend Dan was. What followed was Dan taking a chance and actually making a move and Blair surrendering to the fact that she had feelings for her BFF's former lover. Now they are officially together and are going to experience some sack troubles, it's sad to think they may not make it through to the end of the season. Of course, that does lead the way for a Chuck and Blair reunion!

What are your favourite moments of season 5 so far?

OMG Gossip Girl: Blair's Wedding Dress!!

Oh my. A runaway bride in couture and a tiara so magnificent it would light up a room? It can only be Blair getting married in Gossip Girl.

This week the first shots of the gorgeous Leighton Meester surfaced wearing a beautiful strapless gown and running, what looked like, away from her wedding to Prince Louis.

First things first though, let us size up the dress. Full marks for this, it is very very Blair. Although I love the extensions and free waves, I have to admit, I would have thought Blair would have gone for an elegant up do though.

The make-up is perfection (I may go for something similar myself on my wedding!) as were the accompanying jewels. Diamond earrings, a diamond choker (which looks suspiciously like the necklace Chuck gave her on her 17th birthday!) and of course that HUGE sparkler.

Her tiara is the perfect finishing touch as well- fit for a royal princess, that is if she actually goes through with her wedding to the most boring man ever.

Will she become the runaway bride like the pictures suggest, will she end up with Chuck like everyone is hoping, or will she run straight into the arms of her unlikely hero, Dan?

Answers on a postcard please...

Blair Champions Aneleena!

Gossip Girl Is Back!

Gossip Girl: The Kids Are Not Alright Pictures from TV Fanatic
Yes I've watched the new episode before it aired last night, but I was still very excited for the return of GG to our screens.

Highlight's included...

- Blair getting a personal smack down from her mum- I never saw this coming, but it was very humbling for the former Queen B.

- Dan being so damn gullible and always throwing everything away for Serena.

- Lily finally redeeming herself- lets be honest, she hit rock bottom before Xmas.

- New character Raina seriously giving Leighton and Blake a run for their money both in the beauty and style stakes.

-Dan & Blair being too cute for words in their exchanges...I predict at least a kiss before the season end. Yay!

- B and S looking a bit casual in this ep. See pic above- Loved Blair's scarf and Serena does look eerily like her mum.

Next week looks A-Mazing.. Blair and Dan go head to head as interns, which includes a punch up at a party. Welcome back guys, we've missed you.

I don't know about you, but I am loving season four of Gossip Girl. After flagging last year, it is back with a bang, especially if last night's episode is anything to go by!

My eternal love goes to ITV2 for playing the episode a mere two days after it airs in the US, as the Witches of Bushwick was not to be missed.

When it comes to fashion romances, there are none so great as Chuck and Blair, who consider naming designers in a frantic frenzy some kind of kinky foreplay.

Both so effortless stylish, with a touch of old age Hollywood glamour about them- they are simply delicious to look at on screen together.

How hot was Blair when she unzipped her dress and went to Chuck's party in her underwear?! For two sinners to go up in flames like that in public was an AMAZING moment in GG history.

Anyway, to the sub plot- three witches drawn together to take Serena down. Juliet, Vanessa, and Jenny all have a score to settle with the blonde one and boy, did they hang her out to dry.

I loved Serena's Carolina Herrera dress she wore to the masked ball by the way; so delicate and pretty. Maybe they were trying to show her vulnerability in this episode?

It didn't show any leg and hardly any cleavage, which for Serena is practically a cry for help!

Being shunned by Nate, Dan & Blair was one thing, but to be bungled off in a taxi by the evil Juliet? Surely a step too far?!

Who knows, but one things for sure- Gaslit, episode 10 of season four is sure to be a blinder. XOXO

Leighton Meester lands Vera Wang deal

My fave Gossip Girl is clearly making waves in the fashion industry; she's just landed a big gig as the face of Vera Wang's new fragrance.

After fronting lines for Reebok and Herbal Essences, this is a major career high for Leighton, showing just how popular the young actress has become.

WWD first reported the news last week that the lovely Leighton would be shooting the campaign in Manhattan last weekend, with images not hitting magazines until next summer.

The youthful fragrance won't be available to buy from department stores until SS11, just as Leighton will be finishing up shooting S4 of Gossip Girl.

Her co-star Blake Lively may be winning the plaudits of the fashion world for her style but clearly Leighton is one step ahead of her rival, by landing one of the biggest campaigns for next season.

No doubt Blake will respond with a big campaign of her own, but until then it's Leighton who wins this round. Let the games begin...

Leighton Meester looks sexy at Teen Choice Awards

Blake Lively who?! I’m just kidding, I love these two ladies in equal measure but Leighton totally has the style edge when it comes to taking a risk.

Just look at this ensemble- Emilio Pucci mini, teamed with Cathy Waterman jewels and finished off with some gorgeous rosette Christian Louboutins. Stunning!

Blake always looks hot, but samey- legs and boobs if you will, whereas Leighton is more quirky.

Despite their differences in fashion, Leighton dismissed ongoing rumours (yawn) of a feud with her TV BFF and said they were like a family now, which isn't surprising- filming a TV show for months on end must be intense.

Am I the only one bored of people labelling them as frenemies all the time though?! Seriously, it's been like four years, they're both gorgeous and talented- lets move on!

Well... rant over, back to GG gossip. Leighton was papped in New York today filming alongside Clemence Poesy and giving her a run for her money in the style stakes.

Both ladies were pictured rocking some serious bag candy and were fawning over some cute pooches both in character and out.

Wicked whispers on set suggest the two may be about to lock horns over a certain Chuck Bass. Bring. It. On. 33 days to go!
