RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Adam in Corona, Calif.: Any news on Gossip Girl yet? What about Dan and Serena for season three?
It’s too early to say for sure, but our sources tell us that next year on Gossip Girl does not look like the Year of “Dan Serena Dan Serena whoo!” At this point it looks like you can expect more of a brother-sister vibe from Dan and Serena (remember, they do share a half-sibling, Chris Riggi‘s Scott), rather than a whole epic love story thing, à la Chuck and Blair.

Rachel in Seattle: Is Georgina going to be Blair’s roommate next season on Gossip Girl?
While we know Michelle Trachtenberg is tied to NBC’s new medical drama, Mercy, she will be causing some trouble for Blair. Leighton Meester tells us, “Blair is going to NYU, so she might have some trouble there on her own regardless, but maybe Georgina will be coming in to stir some stuff up. I really like working with her, so it’s good.”
