Michael Bloomberg bestowed a mayoral proclamation in celebration of the 100th episode of Gossip Girl today in New York. Without Blair. As you can see, Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford were both absent from the event, likely working. I’ve not watched the show in a long, long time. What is happening to Chuck’s hair? Does Blake Lively look at Penn Badgley all like, ew? Is Taylor Momsen dead to them? Wait, wait. Full Story

I totally get Zoe Kravitz’s appeal. There’s a sullen pouty mystique about her, even more pronounced in person, that many people find very sexy, including Michael Fassbender, with whom she ended a year long relationship just recently ...so as to free herself for Penn Badgley...? Zoe and Penn spent part of the holiday on the beach in Miami together. Full Story

Blake Lively is back in New York after spending Ryan Reynolds’s birthday weekend with him in Boston. Here she is working on Gossip Girl with ex-boyfriend Penn Badgley. Blake moved beyond Penn. She waited patiently, killing time with Leonardo DiCaprio, until Ryan Reynolds, the main target, became available and finally agreed to check her out. Full Story

Zoe Kravitz and Michael Fassbender were together. Then in the summer, after the release of X-Men: First Class, she was seen around New York with Penn Badgley. It was thought that she and Fassy were over. But at TIFF, I saw them out together on consecutive nights, not just hanging out, but like obviously a real situation. Full Story

Page Six reported that Zoe Kravitz and Penn Badgley may be hooking up. The two were at the Friends With Benefits premiere and party the other night in New York, arriving separately but hanging out inside, and then leaving together and getting in a cab at 1:30am. Full Story

Apparently James Franco was up for it for a while. Then there was all this talk about Robert Pattinson in the role. And he had also previously said he was rather interested too. Those who make casting decisions however had other ideas.... Lonely Boy? Dan Humphrey? Indeed. Penn Badgley has confirmed the role. Full Story

Written by Duana At long last, a chance for me to shut up a little. For those who are new to the GG recaps, they involve me talking about these people in Twitspeak. Which is what they would want. GG has been off the air for approximately a year. Full Story

Well doesn’t he? Doesn’t Penn Badgley look it? Here he is last night in New York at the 2011 New Directors/New Films Festival Opening Night experimenting with stubble shading. I really wish he wouldn’t although I totally know why he is. It’s that “face too small for his head” problem he has. Full Story

Written by Duana Welcome back to Gossip Girl! It's been far too long since I cracked myself up to the tune of S and B's righteousnesses in short sentences. Ready to go? Previously on GG, Nate's jailbird daddy is going to be his roommate, Serena found out Lily sold her out as a statutory raped teen, and was also buying Bass industries, she tried to drag Dan with her but he had to bang Blair. Full Story

While Blake Lively is probably trying to convince Ryan Gosling to make her his steady, her discarded ex-boyfriend Penn Badgley was invited to bro down with Glee’s Matthew Morrison in Punta Cana over the holiday. Thanks to a lovely reader called Kate for the tip. This week the two were at the Hard Rock Resort and have been seen together every night at the casino. Full Story

Written by DuanaPreviously on Gossip Girl, Nate’s mom got Parent Trapped and agreed to date Nate’s dad again, Lily paid off Juliet, but her brother was mad that Juliet drugged her, and somehow Serena is committed to inpatient therapy, while Blair and Dan go for justice. Full Story

Written by Duana Previously on Gossip Girl, Serena was really into how much ex-sex Blair was continuing to have. Serena said she’d wait for Dan for ‘As long as it takes” and then couldn’t wait long enough to hang up her phone. Full Story

Written by Duana I’m sorry, but “Only Girl in the World” is already so tired. On the plus side, I like when we see messy-haired Blair. Birthday time! Gossip Girl is worried Serena won’t show for the party because she’s with her professor. Full Story

Remember a couple of weeks ago Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling were spotted at Disneyland together and refused to have their pictures taken at the same time and we were all like, Bitch get your tits off my quiver!?! How did she deal with the backlash? Well her publicist went to GossipCop Full Story
