BLAKE LIVELY IS HOT … SOMETIMES
Blake Lively, better known as Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, confuses my eyeballs. She’s been 
quoted as saying that she hates the fact that she’s so “manly”, and about 95% of the time - that’s true. I’m a huge Gossip fan, and having seen every episode, I get to see more of her than the average person … and I’m not going to lie, she’s a little too manly for my style.
But then she goes and does something like this. I would personally like to thank the designer of this shirt/pants/dress/thing she wore to a recent CW event because it makes Blake Lively look outstanding. Check out the pix of Blake plus other GG characters below.

Gossip Girl just had its season finale, and as Serena and her classmates graduate high school, the future of the show is unknown. All I know is that Michelle Trachtenberg might be a main character in season 3, as she is rumored to be Blair’s roommate at NYU. One can hope.

One of the girls below has parents who don’t love her. Whom might that be?
LEIGHTON MEESTER IN A BIKINI, FINALLY
I didn’t know it on a conscious level, but you pretty damn well be aware that on a subconscious level during every episode of Gossip Girl I am just waiting to see Leighton “Blair Waldorf” Meester in a bikini. There are two smart people involved in these pictures: the dude who took them, and the dude who invented the bikini.
OK, I just checked Wikipdia because as well all know, it’s the #1 source of information on the ‘net. The bikini is a Greco-Roman invention, and it was indeed invented by a dude. Of course it was.
The only objectionable content in these pictures is atop her head. I just don’t think I can get on board with the Bear-Bryant-at-a-Miami-gay-pride-beach-party-in-1984 hat.
See, Leighton is what we dudes like to call a “normal” weight. All chicks that are super skinny should eat a cheeseboyguh.
LEIGHTON MEESTER SIGNS A RECORD DEAL
One of the most gorgeous women on TV, Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf Leighton Meester, has signed a recording contract with Universal Republic Records.
Billy Bob Thornton offers up an excuse for this rant on a Canadian radio station.
“Hard Candy” and “30 Days of Night” director David Slade has signed on to direct the 3rd movie in the Twilight series, Eclipse.
Nirvana’s classic performance at the 1992 Reading Festival is coming to DVD in November, and it will include the band’s renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”.
Spin magazine has named America’s 15 Best Independent Record Stores, did your favorite store make the list?
CoEd Magazine has 10 Women We Never Want To See On a Hot List Again, and Paris Hilton is on it. Damn it. I love Paris.
Katy Perry in a bikini usually equals the hotness, but not this time.
The NCAA has given the green light to beach volleyball, or “sand volleyball” as they’re calling it.
Britney Spears loses her hair extension mid-concert. I LOL’d.

I love it when respectable actors think they can achieve equal success as a musician. Oh wait, no I don’t - I loathe it. I admire Scarlett Johansson and Leighton Meester on screen, but their music is unbelievably horrible.
(See Gossip Girl Leighton Meester’s attempt at music here and Scarlett Johansson’s here)
An actor, who we all respect for mastering a craft, decides, “Oh, hey guys, I’m a musician now!” To which we don’t even to pretend to care they have a “career” in music - especially when they act like infants.
I just came across this video of Billy Bob Thornton acting like a complete ass in an interview on Canada’s QTV because the interviewer mentioned that he’s also an actor. Yes, he gets pissed because the interviewer refers to his acting career.
It’s totally worth 13 minutes of your time. The awkwardness, the attitude, the unsettled band mates. Mad props to the interviewer for keeping his composure:

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.

GOSSIP GIRL JUST GOT A LOT HOTTER
The best new show on television just got a lot hotter. Gossip Girl has introduced a new character, Rachel Carr (Laura Breckenridge), the newest addition to the teaching staff at Constance Billard School For Girls. Her girl-next-door look is rivaling Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) for hottest on the show.
We learned on Monday night that she’s not as innocent as she looks and Dan is takin’ the D train to V Town. I don’t blame him. Serena is obnoxious. For those who don’t watch Gossip Girl: is this annoying you yet? Good. Your fault.
Hottest on the show? Affirmative.
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.
You can download the song here or listen below…
“So Low”
