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

Amy in Pittsburgh: So excited Gossip Girl is back in production! What can you tell us?!
Sorry, Hilary Duff haters, but Duff joins the Gossip Girl cast as movie star Olivia, and she’ll be getting her movie-star cooties on the entire cast, not just Vanessa and Dan. Also on Gossip Girl this season, Chuck and Blair are totally getting married and having a million babies. (OK, not that, but they are staying tight. Yay!) And believe it or not, the show really is trending away from “Dan and Serena are the one true pairing of Gossip Girl.” Certainly, that arc might turn back sometime in the future, but for now the show is trying to establish their separate identities, apart from their on-again, off-again shenanigans. Is that great news or the worst thing you’ve ever heard? Post in the comments!

Gervase in Montreal, Quebec: Thanks for the interview with Blake Lively about Papa van der Woodsen. Are we actually going to see Serena’s dad this season on Gossip Girl?
TV Diva’s Magic 8-ball says: It is decidedly so. We will finally meet Serena’s dad this season on Gossip Girl.

Cristina in Teaneck, N.J.: Will Adrianna and Naomi reconcile with Annie on 90210?
As far as Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord), Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) and Annie (Shenae Grimes) being best buds in the second season (something some of you would like to see), AnnaLynne says, “Never. Not going to happen. I’m sorry. I wish.”

Marianne in Toluca Lake, Calif.: Any scoop on 90210? I’m in for the long haul.
Michael Steger
tells us, “They’re talking about renovating the Blaze newsroom, so it’s going to be where everything happens and everybody meets up. They’re going to make it very loungey, very comfortable.” (The Blaze newsroom is where we’ll meet Rumer Willis‘ character when she guests in a season-two episode.)

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

 Korbi, Did you know that Adrianna on “90210” broke up with the guy who plays Ty and is now dating Jesse from “Breaking Bad“? -Wendy
I did, yes. Seems Adam Gregory and Jessica Lowndes are over, but she’s already rebounded with “Bad”‘s Aaron Paul, also known as Sarah’s fiance Scott on “Big Love“!

And on the subject of “90210” break ups, you should be aware that one of the show’s longest running couples is heading for a split. They’ve had rocky times before, but will be legitimately done by season two. Any guesses?

23 03 2009
  • There’s a very bizarre video on YouTube where Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill) says he’s not coming back next season–because the execs don’t want him to!  That seems very strange to me so I don’t know what to believe.  Apparently neither does E!Online.
  • There’s a Q & A with Austin Nichols (Julian, One Tree Hill) and some other new stuff posted on Southern Gothic Productions blog.
  • PEOPLE has a story on Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) celebrating her son’s second birthday.

  • Matt Barr (Psycho Derek, One Tree Hill) has been added to the cast of the Gossip Girl spin-off.  Since his character’s last name is van der Woodsen, he could be Lily’s future husband and Serena and Eric’s dad.  Or they could be trying to throw us.  Maybe she ends up marrying his brother or cousin or something?  And where does Rufus play a role in this if he’s supposedly the great love of her younger life??
  • Kate Voegle (Mia, One Tree Hill) is working on a new album in addition to filming OTH episodes.
