Gossip Girl: OMG, Nate and Blair!
It’s true. As we teased in last week’s Spoiler Chat, a core couple is reuniting on Gossip Girl. The just-released location photo above means that hot little kitty is debagged, and my sources confirm what your eyes are seeing: Gossip Girl‘s newest (old) hookup is Blair (Leighton Meester) and Nate (Chace Crawford). Gasp!
What does this mean for the epic romance that is Blair and Chuck (Ed Westwick)? And why the frak are Nate and Blair back to nooky anyway? I’ve got the exclusive scoop…
Sources tell me that unlike Blair and Chuck’s deep adversarial passion, the renewed Blair and Nate coupling is about familiarity and comfort.
According to one insider, “Blair and Nate are both at a crossroads. Blair has to accept she isn’t going to Yale. Nate is being sucked into his family’s expectations, and they are both there for each other and enjoy the familiarity. At first it’s platonic, but, of course, that doesn’t last long.”
Blate. Blah.
Still, don’t worry, Bluck fans. Even though Nate and Blair are playing tonsil hockey for the time being, I have it on good authority that Blair and Chuck have not been forgotten. For that matter, Gossip Girl boss Josh Schwartz just told the Chicago Tribune‘s wonderful Mo Ryan, “We get that that [relationship] works for people.”
So in the grand tradition of the Derena merry-go-round (“Dan Serena Dan Serena whoo!”), Chuck and Blair’s time will come around again. But can you stand the wait? Will you watch between now and then? Post in the comments!
I recently saw a photo of Nate and Blair kissing in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl. What the hell?! We waited all season for Blair to get together with Chuck! Please say it won’t last. — Clare
Ausiello: Let’s ask exec producer Stephanie Savage about that incriminating photo: “I think they look really cute together kissing in the snow.” Um, let me take a different approach. What does the rekindled N and B romance mean for C and B? “Tell those Chuck and Blair fans to hang in there.” That’s better. — Source: The Ausiello Files
Anything new on Gossip Girl?
Gossip Girl is currently casting for a sexypants jet-setter with an accent. The character, Gabriel Serrano, will be either South American, Australian or a continental European. He’s in his 20s, so he’s probably meant to be a love interest for Blair, Vanessa or Serena, but I’m secretly rooting they age him down a little so Jenny can have a little fun for once. — Source: Kristin on E!Online
What’s coming up on Gossip Girl? This season has been amazing so far!
As if a long lost sibling and declining admission to Yale isn’t enough, Serena’s insta-gal-pal Poppy Lifton is coming back to make her life even more difficult. I’m guessing another feature in Women’s Wear Daily is not on her to-do list this time around? And Rufus is going to run into some money problems soon, but with Lily by his side that shouldn’t be too big of an issue right? She could easily take care of those with a small loan from her Bass Industries inheritance! — Source: Kristin on E!Online
