Breaking News: Chace Crawford Named PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor

17 06 2009

PEOPLE magazine unveiled its annual Hottest Bachelor issue today, with Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl) taking the title.

Crawford’s photo spread and exclusive interview will hit newsstands this Friday.

I interviewed him last year, and he could’ve have been sweeter.

Also included in the list are Ryan Eggold (Ryan, 90210) and Kellan Lutz (George, 90210).  PEOPLE.com also has video of their photo shoot.

I can’t wait to buy my copy!

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

Who’s going to hook up with the new stud on 90210? Please say Kelly. — Rosemary
MICKEY: Kelly?! She will be his guidance counselor, Rosemary, you perv! Don’t make me go all “Palin” on you. As usual, I’m hearing that Annie and Naomi will scratch each other’s eyes out volleying for the tennis stud’s attention, but that his love will belong to Silver, who returns to feisty form this season. (Any suggestions for who should play Teddy’s Clooney-esque movie-star dad? I’m thinking Peter Gallagher would totally rock it.)

**Gallagher played Sandy on The O.C.
