Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass have always had a very passionate and tumultuous relationship on "Gossip Girl." With season two ending with Chuck traveling the world to collect treasures for Blair to prove he cares for her, it does seem that, at least for now, these two are trying to make it work.
"I mean, that's pretty romantic. I think he knows now what he wants. They're done with high school, so any drama associated with that is sort of gone," Leighton Meester (a.k.a. Blair) told MTV News. "I mean, I think I'm pretty satisfied with what happened. I was really happy when I knew they kind of ended up together at the end of this season."
But Meester also warned fans that although things seem great in the world of Blair and Chuck, that doesn't mean they'll have a picture-perfect ending: "It's still kind of a cliffhanger 'cause ... every other episode they're back [together], they're not, they're back. But now I feel like it's more official and he's willing to admit his feelings and she is too. That's a relationship I really like a lot."
She added that the couple have a "fun dynamic." "Them together just seems so real. I mean, he loves her," she said. "The point is you love to hate him. You hate to love him. And he's such a very definitive character and he's always changing too. He's awesome."
So, if things don't work out again between Blair and Chuck, what guy would she want to see with her? Well, none! "Every time she breaks up with Chuck I don't want to see her with anybody. They're never actually broken up; she still pines over him. I think, from my point of view, a tumultuous relationship is an unhealthy one, and for them to be together it's going to take work. But they might just fight and break up and get back together. They seem like that kind of couple." (bwahahahaha!!!! It's Chair or NOTHING for the Queen and you all know that what the Queen says it's law)
She may not know what will happen with Chuck, but she does have some predictions about her own character. "I don't think Blair's losing her queen-bee status just yet," she said, adding that she would like to see her lose something else. "I think we might retire the headbands. ... To me, it's always been where she's at in her life. Maybe she'll start wearing them to regress."
We'll have to wait until September for the next Gossip Girl blast, but lucky for us, we won't have to wait for teasers about season three.
On the fitting green carpet at the CW upfront this morning, Leighton Meester couldn't wait to share her thoughts on the future of Chuck and Blair, and Blake Lively weighed in on Georgina's return.
Get all our exclusive Gossip gossip after the jump…
When last we saw them, Chuck was showering Blair with her favorite treats and, more importantly, finally saying those three little words. But alas, can Bluck really work in the real world?
"Chuck and Blair holding hands, Chuck and Blair going to the movies—isn't that what he says would be unrealistic?" Meester tells us. "I feel like a tumultuous relationship is a-brewin', but that's what drama is."
The actress herself, who recently went blonde for a movie but promised to go back to brunette ASAP, says she isn't sure what she hopes will come for the couple.
"I want us to see them together, but at the same time, the reason why they're so good is why they can't be together," she says.
Unfortunately, both Blake and Leighton agree that Georgina's return could cast a long shadow over Chuck and Blair's future.
"Chuck and Blair are finally together, but yet Georgina is back to screw up her life with that major vendetta," Lively tells us. (thank you, Barbie, for using 'vendetta' and all.)
Despite the cliffhanger, whether or not Michelle Trachtenberg will be back on the show remains in question. The former Buffy actress is starring in Mercy, a nursing drama that NBC recently picked up.
Another big challenge ahead for our favorite Upper East Siders may be higher education.
"A few other people are going to college," Meester says. "I don't know if they're going to stay."
Speaking of college, Penn Badgley tells us that Dan Humphrey's half brother, Scott (Chris Riggi) might be up to no good with his sneaking around New York: "He's gotta skulk...He's a Humphrey."
And speaking of Humphreys, could Dan be coming around to the idea of Nate (Chace Crawford) getting with Little J (Taylor Momsen)? According to Penn, "He should. Nate's a solid dude." (yes. TOTALLY solid, Penny. TOTALLY!)
So, is Dan done thinking that Jenny's too young for Nate? "Probably not," says Penn. "But I personally think that Dan should relax. Dan is too uptight." (This guy totally HATES his character, doesn't he?)
Last but not least, in addition to more Georgina and Rufus-Lily spawn in season three, there is one indisputably awesome character we can promise will be getting plenty of screen time: Countess Dorota (Zuzanna Szadkowski).
"I think she's going to be around a lot more next season," says Leighton.
Squee!
Leighton Meester can do no wrong.
The formidable actress works her magic in the second-season finale of “Gossip Girl” tomorrow at 8 p.m. on WLVI (Ch. 56).
Meester’s Blair and her frenemies are graduating from high school, but this is no “90210” affair. That notorious texter Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell) interrupts commencement with a hot flash of trash.
Naturally, the students instinctively reach into their gowns for their cell phones and gasp at Gossip Girl’s audacity. She has some choice insults for the graduates. The worst? She terms Serena (Blake Lively) irrelevant.
That sets off the blond mannequin. She vows to expose the vicious blogger who’s got the 411 on everybody’s lives.
One of the first casualties in Serena’s war is the growing bond between her peers as they prepare to head off to college. Gossip Girl retaliates by unleashing all their torrid secrets in a text that practically causes their cells to combust - just as Blair is finally on the verge of getting Chuck (Ed Westwick) to admit to her that he loves her. (AHHHHH, the angst!)
Devastated, Blair decides she’ll have to move on. Chuck, like high school, is so over for her. But some things can’t be set aside as easily as a yearbook.
Blair’s graduation means the school will be without its queen bee.
“What would high school be without hierarchy?” wonders one of Blair’s teenage vipers-in-waiting.
“Bearable?” suggests Jenny (Taylor Momsen), who is tempted to fill the power vacuum, if only to rule benignly. That’s what she says.
Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) can’t decide what they mean to each other. I know what they mean to me: time-killers.
Not every story is neatly resolved. Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) makes a cameo that promises plenty of trouble for Blair in the fall. (OMG, Blair/Georgie roommates would be a dream come true but you know I'm NEVER that lucky!)
When “Gossip Girl” began, Serena was its heroine and Blair her bitter rival. But since Lively has mastered only one facial expression - something between surprise and a burp - the writers wisely shifted the story’s heart to Meester. She can move from witchy to lovelorn in a blink and cut through the script’s camp simply by lowering her gaze, exhibiting range and poise befitting a talent much older than 23.
Enjoy her on your TV while you can. She is going places, and that’s not idle talk.
What is this– Oscar season for lists of hot women? Sheesh. In the past week at least three lists have come out that feature the top 50 or 100 beautiful women/people. What gives?
And on every single one of those lists you will find Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. These chicks are rocking it this year and have been recognized by a plethora of magazines for their style and good looks.
So what is the latest list where both ladies make the grade? That would be Glamour Mag’s “50 Most Glamorous Women of 2009.”
Blake makes the list at number 28 with the description: “She plays with fashion and pulls it off.” Leighton edges out her co-star by a mere margin once again and comes in at number 26. A reader wrote in saying: “She seems to have more fun with clothes than her character does.”
So if you haven’t figured it out already, these girls are beautiful, hot and glamorous. No objections on our part. To see the entire list of ladies, head over to Glamour.com.

Nate Archibald's ex-girlfriend, struggling artist and barista Vanessa Abrams, recently compared herself to you. Do you agree imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
Vanessa. Ew. I wish she would imitate me. But sadly the best she could ever hope to be is a cheap knock-off. The Forever 21 to my Prada. I feel bad for her. I really do. If she dropped dead I would totally participate in a moment of silence.
ME: We would too. We'll even have a vigil. I swear :D
(On her music)#%^&@$@#%*(%$ LEIGHTED SINGING TOGETHER #$^^*(&^%#@$%
One other person she really wants to work with? Her GG co-star Ed Westwick. "I would love that. I’ve thought about it a lot, so we’ll see. He’s very talented."

"Leighton fully understands why viewers have become fixated on the love affair between Blair and Chuck. "They're so perfect because they get each other. Chuck knows about her deep, dark side, and he finds it hot," she says. "But the best part of their relationship is that it's realistic. People dont always date for a while and then slowly fall in love. They start by hooking up one night. It takes time to get to know someone, and then you realize you're in love later on."
