Lory in New York: What is gonna happen when our Gossip Girl favorites graduate school? Please, tell me anything. You know we love you.

Looks like the Gossip Girl series is sticking close to the books when it comes to college admissions: In an upcoming ep, several of the kids head to New Haven to check out the Yale campus. If they eventually graduate, they’ll join a prestigious list of fictional Yale alumni that includes Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls), Joshua Lyman (The West Wing) and Montgomery Burns (The Simpsons).

Why are teens donning knee-highs, plaid skirts and the pricey designs of Tory Burch? Thank the CW’s (CBS) (TWX) Gossip Girl for the newfound preppy with-a-touch-of bohemian style that’s hitting malls nationwide.

As teens tune in to check out the latest styles worn by characters Serena, Blair and Chuck, fashion retailers are seeing serious results. And now that the CW and Gossip Girl are focusing on customization, helping teens mix and match, TheStreet.com’s Kristin Bentz says retailers like Urban Outfitters (URBN) and J-Crew (JCG) are profiting even more.

Check out the video to see how Gossip Girl is changing the face of retail fashion and merchandising.

Thanks to Amanda for sending this in!

The girls of Gossip Girl know where it’s at when it comes to fashion. You wouldn’t expect any less from the top of the rich social elite, especially from Blair Waldorf, daughter of the fictional fashion designer Eleanor Waldorf. Sporting preppy, sleek clothing, the girls of the Upper Eastside know how to make a style statement.

Real life designers have taken note. Fashion lines are scrambling to get their clothes onto the lovely loose-lipped ladies, as big labels on these soon-to-be big stars have started to earn clothing companies big bucks.

According to a recent feature in the New York Times, merchants, designers and trend consultants say that Gossip Girl is a heavy influence on how teen girls with excess money choose what to wear.

“It represents a stylistic departure,” Sari Sloane, the vice president for fashion merchandising for Intermix, told the New York Times. “A move away from a Hollywood look that was very casual and improvised, to something more polished, more big-city chic.” Read the rest of this entry »

Summer is upon us and the Gossip Girl cast is on location in - where else - Long Island. Leighton Meester and Blake Lively arrived from Manhattan, ready to show off their swimsuit bodies on the set …

Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Blake Lively arrive in New York’s Hamptons region, ready for some sizzling summer drama. Sweet!

It’s summer, and that means not so much new TV. But some of The CW’s hottest shows are still stirring things up with beach scandals, casting stories, and directing rumors. Here’s a roundup of the latest scoop on Gossip Girl and 90210.:

*It’s not just Manhattan and Brooklyn anymore! Chace Crawford spilled that Gossip Girl will expand its horizons this fall — the cast will be shooting scenes in the posh Hamptons, and we can expect some “beach scandal.” Oooh! We wonder who it involves…

*Speaking of Chace Crawford, if you’re in the market for his London lawn chair (!?), CasaSugar has found it. We’re more in the market for another kind of, ahem, Chair (Chuck/Blair action, that is).

*And speaking of the Hamptons, NyMag.com reports that a mere four people showed up to a recent Gossip Girl casting call in the Hamptons. Seriously? There have to be more than four GG addicts in the area, right?

*But don’t feel too bad for the cast. All three Gossip guys have earned a well-deserved spot on People’s Single & Sexy Men of 2008 list. Congratulations to Ed, Chace, and Penn.

*Ed’s also featured in People’s Where The Boys are photo gallery. His band The Filthy Youth played at NYC hotspot The Annex.

*On to 90210! Eonline’s Kristin reports that the 90210 premiere may be two hours — and as previously reported, Tori Spelling will definitely appear in the premiere! No news on whether or not Donna and David are still together, though. We’re psyched to see Tori in her element.

*But first, we have to send our sympathy her way. Tori’s pug Mimi LaRue passed away Tuesday at the age of 11. We’re so sorry to hear that, Tori.

*Meanwhile, TVWeek.com says that Jason Priestley’s in talks to direct some 90210 episodes.

Gossip Girl costars and real-life couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgley grab a bit to eat at Tortilla Flats in New York City on Tuesday.

The two lovebirds ate together and later played a few games of bingo. Afterwards, Blake and Penn were seen taking a cab to a nearby Starbucks where they were seen holding hands and getting cozy.

Penn wore a Florianópolis (nicknamed Floripa) t-shirt. It’s the capital city of Santa Catarina State in southern Brazil!

Of this years Fox’s Teen Choice Award nominees, Gossip Girl leads the pack of with 14 nods, including “Choice” TV show drama and “Choice” TV actress nominations for Blake Lively and her co-star Leighton Meester.
