Spoiler: Watch with Kristin

5 05 2009

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

Romana in Cape Coral, Fla.: What can you tell us about the Gossip Girl finale?
Chuck and Blair! What else is there to say? OK, how about that the spawn of Rufus and Lily will be played by an unknown—extrapolate from that what you will about said spawn’s future on the show. (Of course, nobody had ever heard of Jessica Szohr before G.G., and now she’s a big star with endorsement deals and everything.)

Joey in Sedona, Ariz.: Does Serena do any damage to Gossip Girl when she tries to out her in the G.G. finale?
No, not really. Gossip Girl escapes Serena’s attack relatively unscathed—but then again, nobody effs with Kristen Bell and gets away with it. (Except Sylar.) Oooh! Speaking of Kristen Bell, she is magnificent as Uta of Valhalla Catering in the Party Down finale, and there’s an opening at the very end for her to recur in the likely (but not assured) second season. Yay!

Karina in Littleton, Colo.: I know it’s not really called Lily, but is there anything new to spill on the spinoff?
Actually E! News just caught up with the older version of Lily, Kelly Rutherford, and she shared an awesome-sounding bit of info on the tentatively titled show: “I just went in recently did a bit of a voice-over, like a Wonder Years kind of thing where I’m looking back on my life. I don’t know if they’ll use it, but I was able to see some of it, and it looked fantastic.” So there you have it! Gossip Girl plus Wonder Years equals amazing!

Lia in Helena, Mont.: Please tell me something about the One Tree Hill finale!
Julian appears in the finale, so maybe that means he and Brooke will finally decide to be together? Plus, both Mia—and her portrayer, real-life singer Kate Voegele—are releasing their albums in the OTH finale. “There’s this amazing scene that we shot at a Best Buy, and they have a huge line of fans. Mia’s releasing her record, and Mia’s record is my record. So on the day that my album, A Fine Mess, comes out in real life, Mia’s album, A Fine Mess, will be coming out on One Tree Hill.” A little confusing, but you get it!

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 5

26 04 2009

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

The countdown concludes today with one seemingly very happy couple and the saddest love story to come out of the teen drama world.

2. Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) and Penn Badgley (Dan, Gossip Girl)

blake-and-penn

Though they knew each other already, Lively and Bagdley didn’t began dating until season one of Gossip Girl. When I interviewed Bagdley last year he wouldn’t confirm or deny the relationship,but the two have slowly opened up about it to the media.  From a Details magazine article: “Penn, who was home-schooled with Blake a decade ago, when both were child actors, calls the relationship ‘wonderful and also something to grapple with’ in terms of mixing work and pleasure. But he won’t say more. ‘You have to draw the line somewhere. I’m fine talking about my family and personal history, because it humanizes you. But I have to save some shit for me.'”

1. Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill) and Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill)

cmmurray-and-bush

Murray and Bush hold the honor of being the only teen drama couple to be married–and divorced.  The two met on One Tree Hill in 2003 and married in 2005.  But the wedded bliss was short-lived: Bush asked for an annulment just 5 months later.  Though neither have ever explicitly said the cause of the separation, rumors persist that Murray cheated on her.  But since the end of their relationship, the two have shared many love scenes on the show, which I give them both a lot of credit for.  I cannot imagine having to pretend to be in love and kiss the person that broke your heart.  Murray said in an interview last year that “It’s one of those things where you grow up a lot faster. You’re put in a situation where you’re gonna deal with things right in your face. But I think [Sophia and I] are both professional and mature enough to get through it. And now it’s just easy. We’re just friends. And she’s got James, and James and I are friends. It’s just a little tight group in Wilmington.”  Murray got engaged again not long after ending things with Bush, this time to Kenzie Dalton, a sometimes-extra on the show.

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 3

24 04 2009

Part 1, Part 2

Part three of my countdown focuses on a fairly new couple and one that still leaves me feeling heartbroken.

6. Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) and James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill)

sophia-bush-james-lafferty-couple-01

Reports that these two are currently dating started circulating in late 2007 and continue still to this day, though neither has commented publicly about it.

5. Rachel Bilson (Summer, The O.C.) and Adam Brody (Seth, The O.C.)

rachel-and-adam

Bilson and Brody began dating not long after The O.C. debuted in 2003.  Their characters had an on-off relationship throughout the series, and the couple themselves broke up towards the end of 2006 (though fans were strongly rooting for them!).  During their relationship, they lived together and co-owned two dogs. From a New York Post article: “They say, ‘Don’t date your co-star,’ but that’s who you’re around,” says Rachel. “If you’re in an office, and you see someone every day and you click well, you’ll start dating. It’s the same thing.” The two lived together, and after their breakup in December 2006, they divided belongings and dogs—Adam took pit bull Penny Lane, and Rachel walked away with Thurmen. “Oh yeah, during the divorce, that was a given.”

Top 5 Biggest Vixens Pt. 2

10 03 2009

Part One

4. Rachel Gatina (One Tree Hill)

When Rachel joined the show in season 3, she took sex appeal to a whole new level.  Instantly making waves with Brooke as she tried to control the cheerleading squad and work her way in Lucas’ pants, Rachel became Tree Hill’s resident bitch.  No guy was off limits (even married Nathan or the older Uncle Cooper!), she stole a math exam and unleashed the time capsule that led to the school shooting.  She later struggles with a drug problem, disappointing Brooke yet again.
