Erm. Sorry. Can’t help it.
Yes, Gossip Girl’s baaaaack! Bringing the yogurt, the name-dropping and the panicked phone calls. Oh, the drama. Jenny’s in! Jenny’s out! Jenny’s in again! Blair has to suck it up and be nice! No, wait, she’s a bitch with a plan!

That said, I worry for my beloved Dan and Serena. The thing about GG filming on the streets of
Though I suppose if Dan and Serena are going to be
Can this bad girl stay good? Will Queen B ever regain her throne? Will N’s haircut continue to stand in for a personality? Stay tuned. Until next time, XOXO.
