Look at that smile!  Gossip Girl Blake Lively turns the big 2-1 today!  We spotted the bubbly starlet on set with poodle Penny.  I'm sure Blake is going to have a rager tonight and I'll put some money on her showing up to work tomorrow reeking of champagne.

      

We should be used to it by now...give up?  Leighton Meester, of course!  Leighton basically told us we could kiss her ass as she buried her face into her body guard on the set of Gossip Girl today.  Luckily Blake and Ed were a little bit less shy and gave us a preview of some of the great style we can expect next season; only two weeks away!

          

These pictures are INTENSE!  Check out these amazing shots we got from the set of Gossip Girl yesterday; its a no holds barred Serena versus Blair DEATH MATCH!!! Who do you think could take it?  On the one hand Serena/Blake is kind of a beast and definitely has the height advantage, but on the other I could totally see Blair/Leighton fighting dirty!

This is making me so excited for next season, only a couple of weeks away!!

            

The weather was crazy in New York yesterday.  The sky went from blue to black to blue to black and finally back to a sunny sky by the end of the day, but the hail and strong wind weren't enough to stop the cast of Gossip Girl from going to work!  Ed, Penn, Leighton and Blake were all busy on set yesterday, filming scenes and hiding under umbrellas when they got a chance.  Are y'all excited for the the season premiere, less than a month away!

             

Going to the airport these days is stressful, mostly because you need to show up like 5 hours before your flight, and celebrities are not immune to running late.  We spotted Penn and Blake heading out of JFK this weekend for Los Angeles and the Teen Choice Awards and they were clearly in a rush.  Penn stops to sign autographs but Blake has this look on her face like "Let's move it!"  She keeps reaching back for his hand like a mom who has to drag her little kid along to make the flight, I'm surprised she didn't just scoop him up and run to the gate with him on her hip!  But luckily for everyone we know that they made it safe and sound to the awards show. Phew.

      

Each summer Fox holds one of the most prestigious award shows in all of Hollywood; The Teen Choice Awards.  Nominees are in tight competition in categories like like Choice TV Villain and Choice Female Hottie for the coveted award of a surf board.
Everyone who's anyone was at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles last evening eagerly and anxiously awaiting to see just who was going to take home a surf board.  Not surprisingly most of the cast of Gossip Girl walked away with an award as well as the show's host Miley Cyrus who won Choice TV Actress Comedy for Hanna Montana.  To see a complete list of winners click here.  The show will air tonight on Fox at 8pm.  Click through the gallery to see the mostly hits and some misses of last night's red carpet fashion.  (Ed Westwick, what were you thinking with that scarf?!)

           

We spotted Blake Lively on the set of Gossip Girl today in a scandalous bandage-style Herve Leger dress and a really sick pair of t-straps.  Also hanging around the trailers and trucks was co-star and boyfriend Penn Badgley.

   

The gals in slacks are back! Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn were all on hand last night for the NYC premiere of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.  The ladies rocked some um, interesting choices for the red carpet.  I was not a fan of Amber's elephant gray jumpsuit nor did I like Alexis's slicked back hair, pink lip stick and frilly, black mini dress-it was a little too Robert Palmer back up dancer for me.  I think the stand out of the evening was America, who looked gorgeous in a strapless blue frock and half up swept hair.

The cast was joined by Blake's Gossip Girl co-stars Leighton, Chace and Ed although Penn was noticeably absent (dis!) and Ali Lohan, who's making the rounds in Manhattan.

When we last saw the girls they were gathered together trying to sort out their summer of magical Levis.  We catch up with them a few years later as they've moved on to college, with new loves, new adventures but the same old pair of jeans.  Check out the trailer here.

         

Or should I say Gossip lady?  Actress Madchen Amick (pictured in the printed dress that almost blew away) is joining the cast of Gossip Girl.  I'm not exactly sure who'll she be playing, but since Madchen is a bit more "mature" if you will, I'm thinking she might be a girlfriend of Rufus, a mother to Vanessa or maybe even a teacher at the prep school.

The Gossip kids are hard at work, filming in Manhattan.  Click through the gallery to check out the newest cast member and the return of Jessica Szohr!

P.S. Are you still watching the repeats?  Even though this is the third time that some of these episodes have been shown, I'm still totally tuning every Monday night, and tonight won't be an exception!  I need my Gossip Girl fix!

           

It was a celeb studded red carpet last night as The Dark Knight premiered in New York City.  Christian Bale (Batman) and co-stars, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman were all on hand to promote their new film.  Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively, Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick were all there to catch new the Batman as well as reality star Lauren Conrad who seems to be on a different coast every day.  The Dark Knight opens in theaters on Friday but to check out a trailer click here.
