Gossip Girl Goodies: Ed and Drew, Chuck and Vanessa, and a Tragic Jenny Humphrey
Heads up, people! We're got a slew of juicy Gossip Girl goodness, and we just have to share!
First up, there's the much-ballyhooed Ed Westwick/Drew Barrymore makeout session. We're sure you've heard about this, but we just had to weigh in. It seems the two were caught giving each other mouth-to-mouth at a Kings of Leon concert in New York. There's even a picture -- although we have to admit it disappoints. It's just the back of a couple of smoochers' heads. At least on the show, Gossip Girl's guerilla photographers always manage to catch a perfectly framed, easily identifiable shot of the quarry. This one wouldn't make our mysterious gossip maven's strict standards.
So we've got to know -- what do you think of an Ed/Drew pairing? And what would we call them? EDrew? DrewEd? WestMore? BarryWick? None of these really work for us. But if the two are having fun together, we're happy for them. What about you?
There's more!
We also uncovered an intriguing Popgurls interview with Jessica Szohr, who plays Vanessa on the show. She drops some juicy tidbits: First, she hints that there may be something going on between Vanessa and... Chuck! "Vanessa and Chuck start to – I'm not going to say date - but there are a couple of moments that come up with them that I find really funny." Poing! Then she addresses the Rufus/Vanessa vibe that's been evident: "On paper it felt like that and so I think it might play off a little like that… to me, he's her best friend's dad who is like a second dad to her – and it would be really incestuous. But I wouldn't put it past them."
Would you want to see Vanessa and Chuck join forces -- or lock lips? And what do you think about a Rufus/Vanessa relationship? We think it would be waaaaaay to squicky for the Rufus and Vanessa to get together, but who knows where this show will go?
Also, we ran across this picture of Taylor Momsen all dressed up as Jenny Humphrey -- and we hated it! The makeup is too heavy, the dress is just odd, and WHAT have they done with her hair? And is that an itty bitty hat perched on the side of her head, or a ridiculously oversized hair clip? Bleh!
But that's our take -- what do you think? Is the outfit divine or disastrous? Talk about it!
Finally, there's this little tidbit that made us break out our rocker hand gestures: Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth is collaborating with Jemina Pearl to do a cover of The Ramone's "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" for the show. We can't wait!

I love this show! The idea of Vanessa and Chuck makes me ill! A romance between those two could drive me away.
