Gossip Girl

Not too long ago, my friend Li Sa had introduced to me yet another teenage drama series called Gossip Girl. Now here’s the thing, I had actually read the book a while back, and it had some appeal to me then…that is until I got bored of “reading”. I didn’t follow up cause I felt there was just too much drama in the book. But apparently that is just perfect for a tv series. So now I’m HOOKED to Gossip Girl. Look here for the official book site of Gossip Girl and the shows website.

****I know i’m late on this but I just started watching…

What’s it about? Gossip Girl, is a narrated story by a girl that is just known as Gossip Girl via her blog/website. It revolves around a bunch of spoilt bratty kids that have overly succesfull and too wealthy parents, and most of their time is either spent doing phrases “Like-oh-whatever” and “That-is-oh-so-passe”….I’m kidding but the first is true!

On the tv side of things The main characters are Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively), Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), Jenny (Taylor Momsen), Nate(Chace Crawford), Dan(Penn Badgley) and Chuck (Ed Westwick). Including some other adults who acts as either the caring dotting dad, Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle) or the biatchy moms Lily VDW (Kelly Rutherford) and Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin). And our lovely Gossip Girl is the voice of Kristen Bell? Anyway the Tv series starts off with S getting back to town (The east side of NY -which is from my understanding the posh and glamorous side of the city) from boarding school. Her entry to NY is all the buzz and Gossip Girl just got the scoop so everyone now knows that Serena is back. Needless to say, her ex-best friend Blair is not all that happy to see Serena. Why? Serena is really trying to behave like a good girl, which she hopes to be and more importantly why is she back? On top of that Blair is trying to really set the mood and deflower herself with her since forever boyfriend, Nate. Dan is also having a hard time swallowing the fact that love of his life, Serena still doesn’t know he exists. And Chuck?…..Well Chuck is pretty much loving the agony everyone is having while he struts around in his very expensive clothing and prances with all the money in his hands…. his dad’s money obviously. But while the teeno’s have issues of their own… Even the rich parents have their internal and external probs.. So the drama! So whats the deal?…. Do you really want me to tell? Spoiler up ahead: (highlight the words in white) Serena slept with Blair’s bf since childhood, Nate. And her brother Erik is in the Ostroff rehab center since he tried to commit suicide from depression. Rufus who is Dan and Jenny’ s dad used to date Serena’s mom Elai. Dan hates Chuck for trying to take advantage of his baby sister Jenny at a party Blair throws. So will S and B get back together as BFF’s? Will N finally get to get it on with B? Is D going to speak or have some sort of conversation with S?

And the darling of the group, Serena. Even holding food she’s gorgeous… ughh… yes I’m jealous hahhaa.Yeah…. soo the drama… but I’m liking it. Think of the show as a younger version of Sex and the City….minus lots of sex, but we still get some action going on here and there. Casts of the show is fab! Everyone suits each character nicely. The boys are all cute and each with their own distinct personality. And I just adore Black who plays Serena, she is pretty and every bit of sunshine. Blair is acted out like the spoilt yet traumatised girl that she is, well done Leighton… and what a name! You know you love me, xoxo Commercial Girl
