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 Finale: Chair & Blouis Shocker!

Gossip Girl: A November Wedding?
Well, knock me down with a feather- half of what was rumoured on the Internet actually turned out to be true on last night’s GG finale.

I know some things are soooo predictable, but the twists and turns that have kept on coming this season meant that literally anything could have happened in the explosive finale.

Things which surprised me…

Blair and Louis actually staying together, spesh after the Chair incident! I’ll admit, I didn’t know which way I wanted this to go. Choose Louis and I’d be sad for Chuck, Choose Chuck and I’d feel sorry for Louis. This way, I guess they managed to please everyone. Still… it doesn’t sit right with me that she cheated on the Prince. Not cool B.

Vanessa completely turning on Dan: She’s had her moments- I can’t think of any offhand- but last night she finally did the decent thing and left us all alone! Of course having Dan’s cheques redirected to her for his published book meant she left with no dignity or fans whatsoever, but still… girl has finally got the hint.

Serena having an epiphany: I doubt she even knows how to spell it or what one is, but hey she had one and now wants to learn to be less selfish. Finding herself in sunnier climes and getting cast in a movie will no doubt make her less superficial… *rolls eyes*

Pregnancy Test: Well…. This was definitely unexpected. The obvious choice would be Blair and the obvious father would be Louis… wouldn’t it?! Haha no, lets be honest this will be what stops B marrying Louis- she’s carrying Chuck’s baby!

Things which I expected…

The Roof Drama: Russell not actually harming Blair and the whole hostage situation resolved in like five mins. Snore!

Charlie not being Charlie: I wasn’t sure where to put this considering I believed this to be a false rumour, with a slight amount of credibility, but hey I can’t say I was shocked when it was revealed now can I?!

Charlie and Georgie hook-up: No, not like that! But two crazy bitches teaming up seems like pure gold for season five, especially if Blair does a runner to Monaco and gets married next series- there’s going to be a vacancy!

Dan still has feelings for Blair: I knew there were feelings still lingering! Thank god for that- Blair needs her friendship with Dan to take the edge of her mature decision to ditch Chuck once and for all. Oh and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Dan plays down his love for the future Queen of Monaco!

Roll on Season 5…

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: I’m still daring to Dair!

Blair & Dan: It will happen!
For the first time in its four season history, I didn’t watch a sneak peak of Gossip Girl after it aired in America on Monday.

No, I waited and sat down yesterday with ITV2, as the average fan would do and watched it.

OMG is all I have to say. After last week’s slow offering, this episode totally stepped up the pace with Prince Louis arriving, Dan finally realising he loved Blair (yes!) and Serena getting a Royal smackdown by Blair for being such a biatch.

I really hated her in this episode, despite the hot pink Marchesa dress she wore, which was to die for I'll admit.

She came across as spoilt and selfish, which to be honest is always how she has been, but in the scene where she confronted D & B, it really sunk in how childish she is.

Randomly dialling a fling in France for info on Louis to bring Blair down was a very low thing to do, but man she does work the messy up-do well!

Blair’s pink prom dress and gorgeous up-do came a close second for best outfit on this episode, while Charlie and Vanessa tied for worst dressed last night.

Charlie, I know you’re new to the UES but honestly sheer black tights with a pink clingy dress and lank hair?! No! I’m just waiting for Serena to step in with a hot girl makeover, which will make Dan lose control of his senses once and for all.

Yes, I see that coming like so many other people do. He’s looking fit this season and I genuinely love the pairing with Blair. They spark off each other, and to see this developed in Season 5 would be amazing.

I’m done with Chair for now. Endgame for Season 6-fine. But now, let Blair get engaged to her Prince, let Serena try and ruin her, let Blair break it off and run to Dan and let Chuck stew with his Harry Winston engagement ring.

That’s how I think the season should end in three episodes time- what do you think?

Check out the latest trailer below...

Gossip Girl - It-Girl Happened One Night Preview

Blair & Dan?! Copyright CW
Seeing as it's Valentine's Day tomorrow and I'm a massive Gossip Girl fan, I thought I'd post a preview of what's to come next week.

Unfortunately we're a week behind in the UK, but that doesn't stop us enjoying the fireworks which are so clearly going off in this episode.

All the drama aside, Blair looks stunning in this trailer- full floor length spectacular, while Serena looks exactly the same as last week- too much boob and hair on display!

Have a look yourself and let me know your verdict...

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

Gossip Girl: Chuck and Blair's epic meeting!

Chuck and Blair in Gossip Girl: Double Identity
Woohoo, Gossip Girl is back on UK screens tonight, but that hasn’t stopped me having a little sneaky peak at the episode which aired in the US on Monday.

OMG is all I can say. It was one of the best episodes ever and considering it was only the second one of the season that’s saying a lot.

Of course the reason it was so utterly heartbreaking was Chuck and Blair’s epic exchange at the train station. I literally had tears streaming down my eyes, and before you say anything- Yes, I am very sad like that!

It’s what happens when you invest the best part of three years in a TV couple! Anyway, outfit wise- this was another cracking effort from Eric Daman.

Despite Serena parading around Paris in one very unflattering pair of blue trousers and a sparkly jacket the whole episode, Blair got to rock at least four outfits.

Without a doubt the Oscar De La Renta ruffled gown stole the show, especially when teamed with Harry Winston jewels.



THAT scene (watch above if you have some Kleenex handy) needed an epic dress and Blair looked sensational, even after she broke my heart by declaring she didn’t love Chuck anymore.

He didn’t seem to take that statement too well either, in fact he looked on the verge of tears as she handed back the stolen engagement ring to its rightful owner.

Long story… which does get explained in the episode, but everything else just paled in comparison to that one scene.

I can’t wait for this season to play out and with Chuck on his way back to NYC with new gal, Eva (bleugh!) in toe, it’s going to be catfights all the way….

Check out the Gossip Girl premiere on tonight ITV2 8pm.

Gossip Girl: Belles De Jour Sneak Peaks

Gossip Girl: Belles De Jour
Yes, I know all you lovely people in the US and Canada have had the pleasure of seeing the season premiere last night, but for us here in the UK we’ve still got a while to wait…

So to cheer us Brits up, here’s some fabulous CW sneak peaks of the fashion fest that is the first episode…

The first clip shows Serena and Blair discussing boys and college, but is it my imagination or does S look mighty shifty? Hmmm...


In this second clip, it may not be in character but it shows the delicious Chuck Bass aka Ed Westwick talk about filming in Paris. Swoon...

Gossip Girl: New Trailers Released!

The countdown to Gossip Girl S4 has begun!

I’m literally hyperventilating over the fact that there is only 17 days left to the GG season four premiere. Squeal!

Just because I’m nice, here are some fab new trailers promoting the return of the best show ever. Shut up- it is.

We have Blair calling Humphrey a donut, Serena trying to pick between Dan and Nate, Blair meeting a prince and Nate becoming Chuck 2.0 with some skanky looking hookers...

Gossip Girl S4: Ooo La La!

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?

Gossip Girl Back in Fashion!

Gossip Girl season four has finally begun filming! I may have been counting down the days since the OMG ending in May left me lost for words, so to hear this news has made me a very happy bunny indeed.

Filming started in Paris at the start of July, with leading characters Blair, Serena and Chuck all papped in a variety of fabulous outfits.

Serena may well have the edge on Blair this year however, with her gorgeous Grecian maxi dresses, sequinned minis, tailored blazers and straw boaters.

Blair meanwhile has experimented with clashing patterns, leopard print and ruffles aplenty in the pap shots I've seen, and lets just say the result isn't very good.

Don't get me wrong, she is my favourite character and I've loved her style since season one, but after a so-so series three, this one seems to have gotten off to a bad start.

As for everyone's favourite motherchucker, he's now got a French girlfriend and walks with a cane- probably the result of being shot in Russia a few months ago; do keep up!

He's also looking uber-hot in tight shirts, which have a slightly Patrick Swayze circa Dirty Dancing feel about them!

Personally I'm very excited about kick off in Septemeber, especially since the set shots this week have shown all the gang back in NYC wearing some very gorgeous couture!

More on this as soon as it kicks off in the States, until then check out my fave Gossip Girl spoiler sites, TV Fanatic and Spoiler TV
