CHUCK & VANESSA? SAY IT AIN’T SO
I want to be Chuck Bass when I grow up, but my high school guidance counselor wasn’t to thrilled to hear that. They also don’t offer it as a major in 
college, and I certainly can’t get a PhD in Upper East Side badassness. I want to start speaking as if every word out of my mouth is of importance and might be the last thing I will ever say.
I’ve got to find a driver first. Driving your own car is so 2006. I want to drive around looking for people I know and speak from behind a slightly cracked, black-tinted window. As I make my earth-shattering comments, I’d give people no time to react to my perfectly timed monologues.
Chuck and Vanessa are now boning, which drives my reality/fictional compass insane, because the two are dating in real life. When they kiss onscreen, are they still “acting”. I mean really, how hard is it to “pretend” to date someone you are actually dating?
Is this Chuck and Vanessa? Or Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr? Shit.
What about these?
IDK.

GOSSIP GIRL COVERS ROLLING STONE
Just because I like watching stupidly gorgeous high schoolers spend their trust funds and have promiscuous sex with each other does not mean I want to see them on the cover of my favorite rock magazine. If you’ve seen Gossip Girl, you love it – I don’t care if you’re 14 or 44, the show’s dramatic situations and pure ridiculousness does nothing but make Monday nights at 8pm the best time of the week.
It’s weird living in New York City and watching a show filmed on location in the actual city you live in. It’s almost becoming hard to differentiate the characters from the actors, because each cast member is essential playing themselves on the show. The only difference between their real lives and their Gossip Girl lives is a script.
Jason Gay from Rolling Stone got to hang out with the cast, both on and off set:
“The outdoor sets were pretty fun, because the fans come out. There were many kids from local private schools, foreign tourists and tons of paparazzi. It’s very strange to see a mob of paparazzi photograph Blake and Serena in character as they film an outdoor scene. It’s as if the reality of the show exists behind two lenses — in real time and TV time. All the actors enjoy the outside stuff because of the fans, too. It’s like playing on stage or something. More energy, more excitement and the sense that anything could happen. And sometimes it does. There is no such thing as a closed set in NYC!”
It’s almost like the actors are famous in two different worlds. There is no “getting into character” on the set of Gossip Girl. Six of the cast members are actually dating each other, which is either really good or really bad for the show. I’ll go with the latter.
Gossip Girl is the May cover of Rolling Stone. See pictures below.

GEORGINA SPARKS RETURNS TO GOSSIP
Gossip Girl returns to our TVs and our obsessions on March 16th. Dan’s a douche and Rachel’s a pedo-whore, and shit yes that makes for good television. But the real news out of the last few episodes of season 2 is that Georgina Sparks, played by the uber-hot Michelle Trachtenberg, will return and attend to some unfinished business with Blair. Hopefully they makeup and makeout, but GG’s reps could not confirm nor deny our inquiry.
Judging by the picture to the right taken from the set of GG, Georgina and Chuck might be having pre-marital, consensual sex. Hell, we know Chuck would be down.
Georgina returns on April 27 and will be in the final four episodes of Gossip Girl’s second season.
Here’s some video to hold you over.
WEEKLY POP CULTURE UPDATE (01.21.09)
THEY INTRIGUE ME
If you are reading this sentence right now and you have not watched Gossip Girl, I wonder how you get out of bed in the morning. This is without a doubt the most compelling show on television. The show stars not only the most intriguing on-screen couple on television right now, but two of the most interesting characters in TV history. In two short seasons, Blair Waldorf, played by the gorgeous Leighton Meester, and Chuck Bass, played by the extremely talented Ed Westwick, have captivated audiences with their immaculate performances. Chuck Bass is one of the most unapologetic and racy characters I’ve ever watched and Blair Waldorf is the little miss perfect compliment to his highly dynamic character. Plus Leighton Meester is one hot piece of A, especially when she’s pisssssed. Watch this show. Start from the beginning.
GRAN TORINO
This movie was so god damn good that people in the Manhattan theater where I saw it clapped after it was over. I haven’t seen people clap after a movie since the Death Star’s demise in the 1997 re-release of A New Hope – and I think most of that room was clapping ironically. The guy next to me was either balling his eyes out or laughing his ass off the entire movie; a little extreme, but an exaggerated example of how incredibly moving this movie actually is. Some asshole will probably complain about the sub-par acting from Clint’s supporting cast, but that does nothing to sully the masterful screenplay, direction, and script that make this one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long long time. 9.75/10
TWILIGHT OPEN CASTING
Are you a Native American teen who looks very “youthful”? No? Then you would be terrible for the open casting call for the newest installment in the Twilight series, New Moon. The movie’s casting director has called for an open casting, inviting anyone and everyone to apply (unless you’re white, black, or Asian … racist assholes).
IPHONE APP OF THE WEEK
ANNOY-A-TEEN
“Have you ever wanted something that would simply drive your teen nuts? Well, here you go!
This app is very simple: it plays a high pitched tone every time you press the button that is very annoying to teens and inaudible to most adults! Now, this is not to say “all” adults cannot hear all of the sounds – those who can have exceptional hearing and have the envy of the author of this program, who can only hear three of the four tones this app makes.
Some businesses around the world play tones like this to drive away rowdy teenagers who scare away business.”
I LOL’d. Please tell me you’re downloading this, iPhone users.

OLD SCHOOL BAND OF THE WEEK
T.A.T.U.
Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about Russian “lesbian” duo T.A.T.U. already. You have? That’s a shame. Their 2002 album 200 km in the Wrong Lane is one of the best pop albums of the 21st century. I wrote this entire pop culture update while listening to that album. Stop laughing. “Show Me Love” and “30 Minutes” could easily be my theme music. If I were starring in my own movie about myself, those two songs would play during the intro, outro, and all montages.
SONG OF THE WEEK
One of the best unknown bands of the last 20 years: Self.
