Gossip Girl Under the Paley Moonlight

The hotties of Gossip Girl make an appearance at The Paley Center for Media’s 25th Annual William S Paley Television Festival in Hollywood on Saturday. Blake Lively (in Smythe), Leighton Meester (in Julie Haus), Taylor Momsen and Jessica Szohr all made appearances.

Here are some tidbits from the Gossip Girl panel via TV Guide:

– Blair (Leighton Meester) will be down one sidekick when the show returns next month. [Creator Josh] Schwartz revealed that Nan Zhang (Kati) enrolled at Brown University during the strike — and didn’t even bother to tell anyone at the show! As a result, Nicole Fiscella (Isabel) will lead Blair’s minion march alone.

– There was lots of discussion about how, in the Gossip Girl books, Chuck (Ed Westwick) was gay and had a pet monkey. Said discussion ended with someone on the panel (I forget who) concluding that the “monkey turned him gay.”

Jessica Szohr landed the role of Vanessa simply by crashing a barbecue Schwartz hosted. Schwartz recalled opening his door, seeing Szohr for the first time and shouting, “It’s Vanessa!”

– SPOILER: Schwartz/Savage teased that this season’s final five episodes will build toward a wedding — but not necessarily the one we’re expecting (i.e. Lily and Bart).

Maybe it’s Blair’s mom and that new guy she is seeing. Or something cooler like Blair’s dad and Roman. But I do think its going to be one of the parents getting married.

Leighton looks so gorgeous! She’s one of the prettiest actresses on tv right now.

Leighton looks the best out of them all!

They all look so sweet, and the other girl is going for that sexy vamp look.

leighton is amazingly gorgeouss
prettiest one!

i agree
even thought leightons dress isn’t the prettiest she still looks gorgeous!

Taylor looks gorgeous! They all look pretty.

Blake is the best looking

Blake looks the best out of them all!

Leightons ugly

Leighton is gorgeous!!
The other also look very pretty:)

Leighton is gorgeous!!
The other also look very pretty:)

leightons so beautiful and blake got a nose job…

Blake looks like she’s 30 already.

Blake is so fricken pretty!

does it matter who is more pretty!! they are the best end of story.

Leighton is so pretty! I’m loving all the yellow dresses I’ve been seeing lately… I may need to go get one myself!

Or maybe it’ll be Blairs mother and Cyrus… who in the book she married on Blair’s Birthday… hmmm. haha that’d be awesome I’m really looking forward to seeing Cyrus and Aaron so hopefully they dont ditch them

wooooa…they are all so freakin beautiful!blake shines,leighton is cute and taylor is pretty…and the girl who plays vanessa (can’t remember her name) is freakin hot!!gorgeous eyes!

They all look beautiful. Why can Blake Lively not dress up like the other girls? She’s always the most casual one there.

I hope the wedding is not something like Lily/Bart turns into Lily/Rufus. I love Lily/Rufus bunches but that would be too soap opera.

Blake - best head of hair in Hollywood.

i hope blair ande chuck find each other in the up coming episodes!! evryone ims gorgeous, but im partial to leighton!! Go Blair!

Wedding: Lily/Rufus FTW!!!

LOL at 20-22 being the same poster! Ridiculous.

Leighton is absolutely gorgeous. She has an elegant, natural beauty that the other girls lack. Blake is always covered head to toe in make-up and Taylor looks way beyond her years to the point where it’s almost disturbing.

Leighton is perfection.

leighton is extremely beautiful
blake is also very pretty
taylor is going through an awkard stage + i know someone said shes a hugeee ****
leighton takess the cake even though her outfit isn’t the cutest

I absolutely agree with Sophia..
leighton is simplyy divine.

wow!
they all look stunning.
and i like what they’re wearing!
i LOVE GG!can’t wait for season 2!

I LOVE LEIGHTON!

leighton is the prettiest among the three!

I think the book and the show are two totally different things.
They are both very different.

All pretty but I like Leighton and Jessica’s looks more.
