Gossip Girl: Serena goes back to her skanky roots...


Oh no she DIDN'T!!! After the unforgivable act in season one, you seriously thought Serena would have learnt from her past indiscretions and not sleep with her best friend's boyfriend AGAIN.

But no, if the new promo is accurate then Dan (shedding his good guy image here and now on my hit list) succumbs to her charms and they have sex in a bar.

Pretty much a re run of her and Nate- in fact I think it's even the same bar- this is the only part of me which makes me think it could be a dream, which is what fans seem to be favouring.

I have a horrible feeling that this isn't a dream and it does actually happen. Therefore ruining Serena and Blair's friendship forever, totally rewriting Dan's character and giving Blair the easy way out into Chuck's waiting arms.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chair but I have been a fan of Dair for the past year and this is where my loyalty currently lies. Yes, they have been a bit dull of late, but if Dan seriously falls for Serena's meddling, then he is not the guy I thought he was.

Yes, it is a TV show, but I have invested 5 GOD DAMN YEARS in this TV show and if they continue to destroy these characters then I will never get over it. OK, I will get over it eventually, but in the short term I'm furious about this latest development.

Even more so than the travesty that was Chuck deflowering Jenny in Season 3- that really pissed off the fans, but GG went there and I think they will go there again. Sigh.

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...

Ooooh Nate: Copyright The CW

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.

Blair and Louis: Copyright The CW

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?

Gossip Girl Returns...5 Questions need answering!

Gossip Girl: Season 5 starts: Copyright CW

Ok so Gossip Girl has already been airing in the US for the past three weeks, but finally it is due to hit the UK shores next week...Yay!

I'll pretend I know nothing which has gone on so far and pose the following few questions to those who haven't been secretly peaking at reviews...

1. Who is Pregnant? Serena, Blair, Dorota, Charlie or Eleanor, that is the short list of options and I know who I would have money on! The reveal comes at the end of episode 1, so you don't have long to wait.

2. Why does Chuck have a dog? The Bass man has been pictured carrying around a pooch, but why oh why? Hint, Dan is at fault for this plot development and it is all part of a bigger plan.

3. What will happen with Dan's book? After Vanessa totally sold out her BFF and former lover out of spite, will Dan come forward and admit he is the one behind the Number 1 bestseller? Oh you betcha...

4. Who is Nate smooching? Liz Hurley, the ultimate cougar is guest starring this season and whore number 1 hooks up with her in the first episode. Does she have a dark side, oh yes and it involves Nate in a big way.

5. Who is Ivy? Well last season it was revealed that Charlie wasn't really Charlie and was in fact an actress named Ivy. In the first episode of the new series, it's revealed that Ivy is working as a waitress in LA and runs into a certain blonde cousin of hers, who is also in LA for the summer. Fireworks ensue!

5 things I'd like to see on the Gossip Girl finale...

Gossip Girl: Season Finale

It’s been an interesting season on Gossip Girl. From the amazing two part opener in Paris, to Chuck’s meltdown (part two) to where we are now- Blair about to be torched on top of a building, I’m sure you’ll agree it has been eventful!

As an avid fan of the show, here are my thoughts on what I’d like to see happen in the finale of series four...

1. Dan and Blair revisited: I don’t know about you, but I feel mighty short changed by this relationship. After one kiss (the other one didn’t count!) they decided enough was enough and now Dan is moving on with Charlie while Blair is torn between The Prince and Chuck. Yawn. To have Blair go to Dan after dumping both Louis and Chuck would be unexpected and give season five somewhere to go... you know you want it just a little bit as well!

2. Let the rumours about Charlie be true: Ok, so the latest leak going around the internet is that Charlie isn’t really Charlie at all. She’s an actress hired by Carole to get her hands on the Rhodes Trust fund and everything we’ve seen so far is all an act! Ahh so that explains why she is a crazy lady! Just for the sheer madness, I would love this to be true.

3. Prince Louis turns out to be OK: The guy has literally rode into town in his shiny limo with Blair’s lost shoe- how can they then turn him into the bad guy?! Blair has never had a decent love interest, so please producers, whatever she chooses- keep Louis as nice as he has been and one day bring him back to pursue Blair in a much more underhanded Chuck-like way.

4. Nate to throw his hat in for Blair’s heart: Then Serena really would be in Blair’s shadow! Lol ok, this would just be fun to see and let’s be honest, Nate is only really interesting when you pair him with Blair. Remember her trying to set him up with Epperley? Exactly, we learnt that he was selfish in bed and loved the Sound of Music. Hilarious.

5. Serena and Vanessa to realise their love for each other: Hehe, this made me laugh writing it- I hope it makes you laugh reading it. While Vanessa’s uselessness has been evident from series one, Serena has really bored me this season- how to fix things, put the two together and give the lads a treat!

Let me know your thoughts...

Gossip Girl S4: Ooo La La!


4.01 Belles De Jour- picture courtesy of Gossipworld


OMG. The first Gossip Girl trailer for Season 4 has just had its premiere online and the verdict is in.... frickin fantastic!

Featuring clips of Serena, Blair and Chuck running around in Paris, our fave trio have certainly been busy over the summer holidays if this trailer is anything to go by...

Blair pushing Serena into a fountain, Serena getting hot and heavy with well, everyone and Chuck finally re-uniting with Blair in what looks set to be an dramatic confrontation.

As for the outfits- well, Eric Daman has outdone himself with the first two episodes of the new season. Here’s my verdict on B, S and C’s outfits from the teaser trailer...

Blair: My favourite character doesn’t quite do the business fashion wise in this trailer. Sure she looks stunning in a beret, but compared to Serena, it’s all a bit mismatched and dare I say it- boring. Thankfully she rescues it right at the end with a stunning red strapless dress, smoky eyes and a jewelled necklace to meet Chuck for a rendezvous.

Serena: I’ve often thought about it, but having seen her strut her stuff in this new trailer, it’s official- I want to be Serena. Sequined mini dresses, high waisted pink harems, sparkly tailored jackets and an emerald green maxi dress, which is just too gorgeous for words. Full marks Miss Van der Woodsen.

Chuck: Seems our playboy has got a new look and my god does he look hot! Fitted shirts, casual waistcoats, ruffled hair and the addition of a cane makes him officially GG’s hottest male. Nate who?

So... teasing over, here's the CW's official OMD trailer!!

Style Wars: Taylor Momsen Vs Jenny Humphrey


Taylor Momsen as Jenny Humphrey in Gossip Girl

It’s hard to tell who is most damaged right now; Jenny has just fled Gossip Girl having hit rock bottom by sleeping with Chuck and Taylor Momsen has been pictured in the kind of clothes that would make my mum blush…actually forget my mum, they're making me blush!

What’s pretty disturbing is both Taylor and the character she portrays are only 17, although you’d never be able to tell; both have a fond love of raccoon eyes and suspender belts which make them look in their late twenties, and that’s me being kind.

Taylor’s arguably much more outspoken what with her vibrator comment last week, in addition to sacking her stylist and swearing left right and centre.

That said, Jenny’s no saint- last season alone she became a drug dealer, tried to seduce Nate while he was with Serena, lied to her dad on average about four times an episode and then went and slept with Chuck. Real life is never this dramatic!

Being a bad ass apparently pays off though, as Taylor’s ‘I don’t give a toss’ attitude has generated so much publicity she’s now been picked to model Madonna’s Material Girl line and been announced as the face of Galliano’s new fragrance.

Jenny meanwhile has been let off the hook for all the trouble she caused, by going off to Hudson for the summer for some quiet reflective time. Lol I don’t buy that for a second- you know she’ll be back to cause mayhem come September.

I really disliked the direction they took Jenny in last season and it seemed that once she took a downward spiral, Taylor emerged as this Courtney Love clone with a whole new attitude to match.

The reason I find both of them so hard to separate is because they so blatantly changed at the same time. Once upon a time Taylor and Jenny were all sweetness and light in cute dresses and coloured tights. Now they both look like they’ve stepped out of a Gothic horror movie/strip joint.

Suspenders and stripper shoes are not a good look on anyone and yet this is all Taylor seems to have in her wardrobe. Jenny is mildly better; at least she wears more than her underwear!

Yet despite it all, I can’t help but like Taylor a wee bit- I know, I'm a total hypocrite- as we should, in theory be shocked about her behaviour, but hell, she’s pretty damn brave wearing what she wears and acting like she does.

No-one else could get away with it and it seems people like her as much as hate her. She’s clearly hot property right now, so what do you think- do you love or loathe the new Queen of controversy?
