Gossip Girl

      CW's new teen drama, based on the series of novels written by Cecily von Ziegesar, would take us to the pompous world of these young adult socialites along the walks of   New York's Upper East Side.   Their world would be exposed to us by this omnicient character ,"Gossip Girl", who would narrate the events as she posts it on her blog. (This gives me another idea of having a blog about our community, since my mom knows every details in each houses) . Just like any teen drama, the story would revolve around the lives of these characters as they deal with the burden of their elite education, sex, fame, fashion, sex, friendship,  sex, love and … have I mentioned sex?. (I wonder if they also worry about body odor, tv ratings, curfew, boredom, sticky notes that dont stick, overcrowded jeepneys ,Piolo Pascual's sexuality and maxed out credit cards)

     Ths show premiered in the US yesterday.  This drama was actually  supposed to be a Lindsay Lohan movie but  was shelved for some reasons.  I am actually glad that it was!  It'll be a mess if trashy Lohan would start doing her garbage!!!!

      Playing the lead character, Serena, would be Blake Lively (Sisterhood of Travelling Pants) and Kirsten Bell would be the voice-over for Gossip Girl (this would mean that this series would be her 2nd show where she would play the title role). The story mainly centers between the feud of former bestfriends Serena and Blake.  Now, this wont be juicy if we dont have a guy that they should be fighting over with, that's where Nate Archibald comes in, played by hottie Chace Crawford. Blake's reign as the new Queen Bee was threatened when Blake returned after a year of hiatus without laying her reasons. What Blake is more concerned about is the attention that Nate has over Serena. We also have these character Dan who is looking from the outside together with her sister Jenny. Their parents dont pay the same taxes as what the parents of the other characters do but their lives were nonetheless spun in this web. Naughty secrets , gasping scandals. sex, drugs, parties, Armanni and Versace… thats what this is all about. What's interesting is that, all of the characters visit Gossip Girl's blog just to read about themselves and their fellow East Siders. This unseen know-it-all for some reason is everywhere. A papparazzi brutale!!!

Dont be surprised if you get that familiar "The O.C." feeling while watching the show. Josh Schwartz is the show's creator that's why. I hope we wont have another Marissa in this series (unless it really happened in the storyline of course). Also, watchout for a really good soundtrack, Alexandra Patsavas, music supervisor of the OC and Grey's Anatomy would again choose the notes for this show.

When former IT girl Serena left for unknown reasons, it damaged her relationship with her bestfriend Blair. However, when Blair realized that she is enjoying the attention she is getting, she plans of not bringing it back or at least sharing it with Serena. This throws Serena out of their circle but doesnt take her off from the eyes of Chace.

Blair has all the grudges against Serena because she could never have all of Chace's attention. Chace on the other hand is suffering from the stressful chains of his father. We also have this mischievous and morally damaged bestfriend of Chace, Chuck, who would keep things a riot!!!

Serena then found herself with regular boy, Dan.  They had that connection that broomed Serena further from the elite circle. Dan's sister on the other hand is adjusting herself within the viscious circle.

Nice!!!

I am quite sure that those who read the novels already know how things would spin. I cant wait for this series to be shown here in the Philippines.

CUTIE ALERT!!!!

Now let's have anothe reason to watch the show! Here's Nate Archibald, played by this cute Texan Chace Crawford. He firs appered in this movie, The Covenant.  I am quite sure that he is enough to make this a must see series.
