she's BLAIR and BLAIR is her



A moment please as I squeal like a fucking fangirl and make imaginary love to The Queen.

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."


Fuck, I love her. Like really love her. She loves her character, she UNDERSTANDS Blair AND Chuck. She knows them so well which is why she's fantastic at everything and anything. She's in this relationship; the moment the camera rolls she's as much in love with him as Blair is. That is fantastic, it's very rare that you get an actor to support so much what the writers are attempting to portray.

Well. I suppose we just got confirmation that she never wanted Nair together, did we? :P

it's got to be the HAIR

MMACCCCCEEEDDDIIIEEEE!!!!



You have been looking SERIOUSLY fine lately, haven't you, McEddie? We even got arm!porn here, didn't we? The hair is good, the clothing fit, the bulge is back. It's fantastic! Our new GG leading man, with self-tanner, ascot and his own center-stage production. Watch out, Giorgio!

Who's your daddy?

so you THINK you can dance?



Congratulations to Chace Crawford, 'Gossip Girl' star. He's just been cast as the lead in the new version of 'Footloose'.

The 23-year-old Crawford was born just a year after the release of the original film in 1984. "He's never danced before but he's an extremely good athlete, which makes him likely to pick it all up fairly easily," explains our mole in the studio. "And he's really up for it. After all, he's an actor and so he needs to be challenged."

Ayyy.... Chace. Look how they treat you, baby. First, no one bothers to condition your hair, then no one bothers to give you acting lessons and NOW they want to make you into one of the most iconic dancing characters WITHOUT ever have danced before? No one loves you, do they? They shove you in the back, give you horrible plot lines, make you crawl back to a girl you obviously dont care about and now they want you to dance. I mean, I'm surprised you haven't developed a drinking problem or something. Considering last time you were 'challenged' the fandom revolted against your CRAZY!NATE look. At least the fuzzy beard is gone. Someone had mercy on my soul.

general UPDATE

We've collected a few wankings and Inca will take great delight in posting some of the few left because it's like finding water in the desert these days.

Also, the Vanessa petition has officially reached 533 signatures and we printed 4 copies of it. We UPS overnighted it to CBS, Warners, CW & Entertainment Weekly. We also emailed the link to all of the above. So that's done, thank you so much for all those of you who participated. Like we've stated before, we're not under the delusion that this will remove the character from the show, though according to the Poll that Spoiler TV is running the majority of people dislike the character, but it's more to make the writers be aware (if they're not already) that the direction they continue taking her character is pissing their audience off. So that's that.

On other news:



This shit is apparently still flopping on a dock somewhere in North America. I would probably not be so unhappy with the entire concept had they used ANOTHER episode other than Prom to shove this in but you know, that's done and over with and no matter how much I dislike it, it happened.

The last of the Fanfiction Showdown polls will go up tonight and that will conclude our Fanfiction Showdown. The polls will be open until Sunday, May 24th at 8pm est. So get to reading so you can make an educated decision! ;)

QUEEN of thoughts



So when you're sitting there wondering why we're so one-sided when it comes to The Queen and everything she is let us enlighten you. I think what makes Leighton (all hail the Queen) amazing as both an actress and a public figure is her fantastic understanding of her character; where it's come from, where it is and where it's going. It lets her make EDUCATED comments regarding Blair and Chuck's relationships. Which is something we can't say about certain other people.

When Leighton gives an answer, most especially about Chuck/Blair, she not only puts in her own composed and REALISTIC thoughts but she gives you a hint of something she HOPES might happen and something that would really happen. She doesn't pimp it or piss the fandom off, she's classy. We never heard her pimping the whole NBC triangle; she was subtle if anything.


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!

You see? THAT is a public persona. This is why we girl-crush her, dammit!

I can see some of you already worrying about Chair but really, I'm not. Chuck and Blair love one another more than any other couple in this show otherwise it wouldn't have taken them so long to be together. I think you all should be prepared for obstacles coming between them now that they're together, because they need to add drama. Michelle is only coming for three episodes; once more I'm not worried. In CHAIR we trust. If we can bounce back from the atrocity that was Chuhobo and Nair we can pretty much do anything. Really. We've hit rock bottom and look at us now.
