Gossip Girl
: Apparently when executive producer Josh Schwartz said back in June that there were “no plans for spinoff at this moment,” what he really meant was: “We aren’t planning anything for Jenny Humphrey.”
After months of speculation, CW finally announced that they will be creating a backdoor pilot for what could possibly be a Gossip Girl spinoff. (This would be similar to what Shonda Rhimes did with Private Practice.) If the test run is successful, the new series would not involve any actors from the sophomore show, nor would it even be located in New York.

No Spinoff for Gossip Girl
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors,
Who would have thought that Gossip Girl would be the subject of an erroneous rumor?
Yesterday, reports were spreading around the internet about a possible new drama for the CW. According to the buzz, Josh Schwartz’s show was already prepping itself for a spinoff. If you believed the word on the street, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) was the golden girl bound to her own gig.
Those who follow the GG books know Humphrey eventually winds up in a whole new series called The It Girl. Her character at some point elects to go to a new boarding school after a string of socially embarrassing moments.
But given Gossip Girl‘s own struggle to find an audience, I personally thought this decision to branch off seemed a bit hasty…and it turns out I wasn’t the only one.

Celebrity Double-Take: Kelly Rutherford vs. Kelly Rowan
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, The CW, The O.C., Gossip,
Okay - it’s now time for another one of my random celebrity pairings. Today, we have Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford (on the left) with The O.C.‘s Kelly Rowan (on the right).
In addition to looking alike, these ladies have several other similarities.
- Both women are obviously named Kelly.
- Both have the initials K.R.
- Both actresses play(ed) rich mothers on a Josh Schwartz-produced show. (Which completely threw me off because I once thought Kelly Rowan had shifted from CA to New York.)

‘Gossip Girl’ Fans To Get a Full Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Announcements,
Strong word-of-mouth has earned CW newbie, Gossip Girl, a full-season order. The Josh Schwartz (Chuck) series is a perfect replacement for those who loved his last production, The O.C. The show stars Blake Lively (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) as Serena van der Woodsen, a girl who returns to her vicious private school after mysteriously leaving town. Leighton Meester plays Blair Waldorf, Serena’s former best friend and current frenemy.
The catty series has so far proven to be a much darker version of our typical teenage dramas (imagine The O.C. plus Heathers). And with voyeuristic narration supplied by the anonymous ‘gossip girl’, things get to be so much cattier.
For those who have not yet watched the series, it’s not too late. The first two episodes are currently hot iTunes downloads. Once you get yourself caught up, you can find Gossip Girl on Wednesdays @ 9pm on The CW. I promise you—the backstabbing here is much more exciting than that Private Practice/Bionic Woman battle. Plus - you’ll come to learn valuable fashion lessons. Had I not watched last week, how would I have known that blue eyeshadow was back?
