Promoting a non-Gossip Girl project, the Donnie Darko sequel S. Darko, Ed Westwick (aka Chuck “MotherChucker” Bass) sits down with pop culture mag, Interview, dishing on branching out from Bass with a dream role.
Here are some excerpts from our fave Brit’s chat:
INTERVIEW: What character would you love to play?
WESTWICK: Being from England, and being a lad, I have to say James Bond. It would be wrong of me to say anything else.
INTERVIEW: How about buffing up for an action feature, are you ready for that?
WESTWICK: It’s a good reason to get in shape, I guess, isn’t it? I think it would be exciting to be involved in an epic 300-esque thing.
INTERVIEW: Maybe there’ll be a 301. They could make it a musical.
WESTWICK: I’m sure they could. They’re doing a Broadway musical of American Psycho.
INTERVIEW: You’d be good for that.
WESTWICK: I know, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I had to ring my manager when I heard about it. I’m obsessed with that film.

The Humphreys might be resisting the Upper East side lifestyle but it looks like Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr) has signed up for some penthouse scandal as she joins forces and lips with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick).
Here are Blindie’s TOP 10 moments from Gossip Girl‘s “Remains of the J” episode:
- Dan Humphrey (Penn Bagdley) has been denied financial aid from Yale! Economic crisis indeed!
- Dan reciting the theme song to The Jeffersons as he rides up the elevator on the East side to a deluxe apartment in the sky!
- Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) tries to win Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) back and Vanessa Abrams and Chuck Bass hook-up out of revenge -yeah, because that always works like charm.
- We live for those little touches of NY authenticity, like famed party photographer Patrick McMullan at Little Jenny’s sweet sixteen party!
- We love when art imitates life! Blair got it on with Carter Basin in last week’s episode and now Chuck and Vanessa are locking lips -and both are real life couples!
- We also love that the Gossip Girl domestics like Blair’s maid and Serena’s doorman are Russian and not the stereotypical Latinos.
- Serena is tired of high school life so she jets off to Spain and OMG, she’s married in the next episode!
- The love child of Lily and Rufus has resurfaced and he’s made contact with Dan!
- Nate is definitely a manwhore! He tells Blair he wants to be with her, “but not like that,” then makes out with her! Make up your mind Nate!
- Vanessa’s storyline has just been upgraded as she beds Chuck! Finally!

As the Upper East Side private schoolers put on a play (The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton), it’s their lives that end up taking center stage!
Here are the TOP 10 moments from Gossip Girl‘s TV return in “The Age of Dissonance” episode:
1. Even though the role she wanted as innocent May in the school play goes to Serena (Blake Lively), Blair (Leighton Meester) perks herself up by saying all the role required was “pretty” which Serena had a lot of!
2. Dorota (Zuzanna Szadkowski) tries on the play’s wardrobe weave and gives herself a sultry look in the mirror, while she exchanges a look at Penelope (Amanda Setton) who is also dressed in a maid outfit for the play.
3. Nelly Yuki (Yin Chang) stepping up and really bitching Blair out and giving her a taste of her own medicine makes us proud of GG‘s resident Asian!
4. Twilight DVD commercial plays during a Gossip Girl commercial break! Also, the United Color of Bennetton-esque Loreal commercial featuring Beyonce, Eva Longoria and Elizabeth Banks equally made us happy we were recessionistas and didn’t have DVR!
5. Chuck (Ed Westwick) is sidelined and given yet another bizarre storyline that doesn’t involve Blair. We need to really start a Chuck-Blair petition!
6. Carter Basin (Sebastian Bach) is back! The poker-playing bad boy who nearly stole Nate’s (Chace Crawford) money last season returns in Chuck’s bizarre storyline…We’re guessing he’s really going to be Chuck’s nemesis–we love bad boys!
7. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) as the liason of culture and the arts for Serena to nab the play’s director was yet another useless storyline! We’ve given up, just write her off! We’d rather see her kissing Ed Westwick courtside!
8. Ment-whore teacher Rachel (Laura Breckenridge) gets it on with Dan (Penn Badgley) in the wardrobe closet at the school–but she turns out to turn off righteous Dan when it’s revealed that she is trying to sabotage Blair! We celebrate her return to Iowa!
9. Hags around the world rejoice! Serena’s efforts don’t work on the hot director–he reveals he’s gay.
10. “Chasing Dorota” teaser plays…We’re putting our money on the fact that Dorota IS Gossip Girl!

There’s finally evidence that Gossip Girl costars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are an item!
The two hot stars of The CW were snapped locking lips Monday night at the New York Knicks-Los Angeles Lakers Game at New York’s Madison Square Garden. (Also, direct your attention to Cheech Marin right behind them!)
It was only in November that Westwick and Szohr were first spotted kissing at a Dallas airport.

Is Gossip Girl jumping the shark? A teacher-student romance and an “Eyes Wide Shut” storyline in one episode?! These kids aren’t even in college, let alone the big bad world of finance and they’re already embroiled in scandals.
Here are Blindie’s over-the-top ten moments moments of Gossip Girl‘s “Carnal Knowledge” episode:
- Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) gets detention! We should’ve known this episode was gonna be a shocker when the Queen Bee actually gets punished. Well, at least she made Dorota (Zuzanna Szadkowski) do all the work.
- Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) wakes up in a hotel room with a strange tattoo on his arm, and flashbacks of a night of debauchery reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick’s last film “Eyes Wide Shut.” All obvious questions aside, but does Chuck even go to school anymore?
- Does anyone else think the english teacher Rachel Carr (Laura Breckenridge) looks like Shannon Doherty (from the original 90210 years)?
- That awesome dialogue that keeps us coming back for more: “Is a scandal still a scandal if you can’t text about it?” Hazel (Dreama Walker) complains when their cell phones are confiscated at school; “Talk about the filthy rich,” Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr) says when she sees Chuck in his apres-party unkemptness; “I can’t believe we’re here on a Saturday evening, that’s a lot of cancelled retstaurant reservations,” Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) laments when she has to attend an emergency parent meeting at the school.
- We love when Blair compared Dan and Ms. Carr to that infamous teacher who had an affair with her student, Mary Kay Letourneau!
- Blair’s plan to take down the english teacher backfires and she faces expulsion for spreading a rumor about Dan Humphrey getting it on with Ms. Carr.
- Rumor starts to become truth when Dan meets with the english teacher at a dimly lit cafe. Really? Who does that? Like they couldn’t talk at school?
- We love how Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) is quick to sell Dan up the river as soon as she sees him barely touching Ms. Carr for like a split second. Blair snaps a photo on her cell phone and uses it to bail Blair out of her lies so she won’t have to go to Oberlin!
- Chuck goes on a wild goose chase for the mysterious masked woman who pleasured him the previous night and finds out his father was involved in a secret gentleman’s club. We’re not sure where this is going but since the woman has already turned up missing it’s definitely gonna be scandalous and shocking and age-inappropriate!
- Dan and Serena are splitsville again! And Dan’s already jumped into bed with the english teacher, or should we say the english teacher has already jumped his bones. Too bad the dean of Constance Billard was about to call and offer Ms. Carr her job back!

We thought that after the Rufus and Lily spin off was announced, their Gossip Girl lovefest would take a backseat to the teenage drama, but the parent PDA continues! And what’s with the obsession over Yale? Pick another Ivy League, there are seven others!
Here are Blindie’s top moments from Gossip Girl‘s “You’ve Got Yale” episode:
- Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) tries every trick in the Blair Waldorf book of backstabbing and then some to kick his Uncle Jack out of the company - from planting drugs, to setting him up with a transsexual and putting his name on Megan’s’ List (the California sex offender’s list).
- Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle) and Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) are playing sleep-over and her daughter Serena complains she is “pretending not to hear what [she} hears in the middle of the night.” Awkward!
- Why is Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) still sacrificing herself for Blair (Leighton Meester)? She even gives up her spot at Yale so Blair can move off the wait-list. Bring back bitchy Serena!
- Blair gets a dog! We were expecting a Labradoodle or a Portugese Water Hound, because we heard those are quite trendy now.
- Genius dialogue from Chuck as he calls Rufus a “half-priced hustler!” and says “I don’t care where you import them from, I want them young and unstable,” as he orders up some women.
- Nice to see Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) and Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr) still hanging in there with the minimum amount of lines needed to receive a paycheck, but really their scenes were so unnecessary.
- Chuck finally gets a mother as Lily follows through with her plans to adopt him to help him gain control of his father’s company. And Chuck returns the favor as he comes to Lily’s aid when a coked up Uncle Jack tries to rape her at the opera.
- Serena oders a home dread-locking kit! Really? There’s a home kit?
- We love that Serena is choosing the slackers Ivy League, Brown University!
- Blair gets schooled by the new teacher! That’ll teach her to “act out on people.”
