About Gossip Girl
In this highly anticipated drama from Josh Schwartz, the creator of The O.C., wealthy Manhattan prep school students have scandalous affairs -- and every move is documented by the anonymous Gossip Girl on her blog (voiced by Kristen Bell).
When Serena Van Der Woodsen returns to town after a stint at boarding school, her friend Blair is just as surprised as everyone else. Tensions flare between the two girls, and the drama spreads to include members of their clique, including Serena's brother, Eric, Blair's boyfriend, Nate, and middle-class siblings Dan and Jenny.
The show is based on the popular series of young adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl.
Stars include Blake Lively ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants") as Serena van der Woodsen, Leighton Meester ("Surface") as Blair, Connor Paolo ("One Life to Live") as Eric, Ed Westwick ("Children of Men") as Chuck, Chace Crawford ("The Covenant") as Nate, Penn Badgley ("John Tucker Must Die") as Dan, Taylor Momsen ("Spy Kids 2," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas") as Jenny, Kelly Rutherford ("Melrose Place") as Lily, Sam Robards ("The West Wing") as Howie "The Captain" Archibald, and Matthew Settle ("Brothers and Sisters") as Rufus.
