• Since When Were Any Pictures of Anyone Born After 1990 Considered "Vintage?"

  Or.... when did we get old? Is it us, or should the words "vintage" and "MySpace" never, ever appear in the same headline? If you watch Gossip Girl (like we do, with no shame, thank you very much), you might be nominally interested in these "Vintage MySpace Pictures" of Taylor Momsen on this blog apparently put together by a 13-year-old. If like us, you were born before the 90's, you might be interested in why they're called "vintage?" Maybe you're just a creepy old dude who wants to look at pictures of a 12-year-old-girl. In that case, stop right here, Mister!  Read More...

• Cultural Clusterf*ck: Gossip Girl Meets 30 Rock

  In what will surely finally give 30 Rock the huge ratings boost it deserves, the NBC comedy series has announced a series of high profile guest stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Oprah Winfrey.  But what should really do it for them is this idea for a guest appearance, which is apparently confirmed by the producers...

• While You Were Sleeping: Obama Narrows His Choices

  Bloc Party is so eager to beat illegal file sharing, they're releasing their new album online, three months ahead of the hard-copy release. Rihanna and Pink will join the Jonas Brothers and Kid Rock at the VMA's. Still no confirmation on whether Britney Spears will repeat last year's travesty (oh please oh please oh please.)  Blake Lively and Leighton Meester do indeed hate each other. Sort of... Read More...

• I Hate Myself For Loving You: Blake Lively

  I generally prefer older women... at least women in the similar age range. Hell, I won't even stay in the same room when Gossip Girl is on, it's like the Spice Girls of TV: people know it's terrible, but they get caught up in its infectiousness and in ten years will act as if they don't remember buying in. Anyway, Blake Lively is an exception. As we've mentioned here before, it seems very unlikely she will make the same life choices and career mistakes of a Lindsay Lohan or some of the other young starlets of this century. But that doesn't mean we're standing tall about this appreciation either... Read More...

• New "Gossip Girl" Ads Make Us Feel a Little Funny Down There

  We watch Gossip Girl when we remember that it's on, which isn't very often, but correct us if we're wrong: wasn't it originally intended for teenagers? Boozing, copulating, mature beyond their age teenagers, we have to assume, because these new steamy ads should at least have a NC-17 rating. 'Twas not too long ago we were teenagers watching Dawson's Creek and thinking to ourselves that the mere mention of sex handled so casually by Katie Holmes was scandalous for the then WB. Looking back, that shit was as mild as Sesame Street compared to Gossip Girl. And we kind-of like it, which kind-of makes us feel like pedophiles, or sad, old farts. On that note, we're pretty sure Blake Lively (Serena) is having an orgasm in the following ad, and that is so not Dan giving it to her. Read More...
