OMG!!!!! can’t wait to see Hil on GG!
Good for her! It’ll be a good role I think
even though i like some of hilary’s music and have nothing against her, the first thing i thought reading this was ‘noooooooooooo’.
there’s something a bit too mainstream about h-duff which i feel would detract from the elite quality of the show.
lame. i can’t stand her..
no no no no no no no why ?
well okay then… as long as she does a good job. cant be worse than vanessa and chucks model girlfriend
OMG! this is awesome!
cant wait for new eps!
Just what we all needed…………another untalented actress…………..thanx Jared!!!!!!!!
WTF?!? THEY CAN’T BE SERIOUS!! HILARY DUFF SUCKS
her career is going nowhere
This is like the best story you have ever reported jared!!!!
well at least it’s better than Ashlee Simpson… And what are you expecting ? it’s GG, a teen show, they are doing this to increase the ratings that all…
АААААААААА)))) КРУТО)))) не могу дождать 3 сезона))) оч хочу увидеть Hilary в Gossip Girl))))))) это оч круто))) посмотим как Хил справится))))
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay good for her !! She really deserves a break-up role
sweet, i luv hilary. but GG sucked. i dont really want to watch it anymore.
whoa, what? how is GG an elite show?? lol its acted by C-list nobodies. chace getting footloose was going to be maybe good.. until they chose Hough as his co-star! now it’s totally a C-list movie.
holy ****! hilary duff on GG?
this season it’s gonna get better :)
Noo! She is not the tipe of girl of GG.
I like her, bur in GG the girls are different.
Many of the people in there was not famous before.
I don’t know. Maybe she doit great. But is wear.
Any way. GG <3
xoxo.
WTF!! No! Ruining a series I actually like!
Umm.. I love Hilary Duff, but on GG… I don’t think thats such a good idea. But if she does a good job then I’m fine. =)
Hilary better lose weight fast!!
Short and stocky, she’s going to look like little Miss Piggy next to Taylor Momsen and Blake Lively.
Diet and exercise like there’s no tomorrow Hilary!
wuuuuuuuuu:D cant believe it! i hope they take vanessa out of the series, cant stand her!
this season will be great!!! LOVE HIL!!
this is going to be great!!
omg noooooooo!!!!!
i have nothing against hilary but she does not fit in the cast of gossip girl.
plus i cant stand her high pitch voice, the show doesnt need her!! ugh!
Ugh…why? Why are they ruining this show…I dont have a big problem w/ Hilary Duff but honestly why the heck r they putting her on GG
@karenina: OMG me 2 i CANT stand Vanessa hopefully wen Hilary’s character leaves she can take Vanessa w/ her to travel the world and never come back to NYC lol
Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE her so much!!!!!!!! and I liked GG too :)
YAY!!! Great news, love GG and Hilary!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
this is definitely going to ruin the show! death of GG…
SHE CAN’T ACT and she is TAINTING the show. Keep her away !
i don’t like this….. she’s not the GG type of girl:S but I’ll wait and see what happens, also I dislike the fact that she’s going to be Dan’s love interest…. NO! he has to be with Serenaaaaaaaaa
YUCK. This is horrible news. I agree with a PP she is too mainstream for GG. I also HOPE when she leaves that she takes Vanessa with her. I hate that this also gives Vanessa a storyline. More YUCK.
no no no ;/ she is stiff, dowdy! bleach ! Dorota, Poland is proud of you ! :)
I’d rather enviserate myself with eyebrow tweezers than watch this show, but even I wouldn’t have predicted HD.
NOOO
SHES TOO FAT FOR GG!!
N TOO UGLY
I am not happy. At all.
YESSSS! I love GG, and Hilary.
Yeah!!! Hilary is great! I can´t wait to see this
@vanessa: u suck!
Looking forward for Hil appearance
RIP GG
OMG !! NO !! SHE WILL ROUIN THE SHOW. !! HILARY IS DISNEY GIRL, SHE DOESN’T FIT IN GOSSIP GIRL STYLE !! EVEN LOHAN WOULD BE BETTER CHOICE !
oh dear god. please no.
Aww another bummer for Serena and Dan’s relationship. You gotta be kidding right? :((( I’d rather Brittany Snow pleasee….. well, perhaps i could stand couple episodes..
wow. some people here are REALLY RUDE! hil’s not fat, love.
she has become a WAY better actress than a lot of people in GG!
don’t get me wrong, i love the girls, but Hi’ls gonna KICK ASS in this show. CAN’T WAIT! <333
Ugh. I love Hilary Duff, but seriously they should’ve picked somebody that isn’t well known yet. They’re good with the cast they have, in the beginning most of their cast wasn’t known, (except for maybe Blake, since she was in the Sisterhood movies) but they need to give somebody else a chance at stardom. Just like when New Moon came out and big names were attached, I got upset. The first Twilight was good because it gave the cast a shot at fame, they need to learn to pick nobodys, so they create somebodys. Give other people a shot at fame, don’t keep reusing. It’s a lot cheaper to pick new people anyway, because the more famous the person is they pick, the more dough is gunna be brought out because they’re a big name. If you ask me Gossip Girl was fine, should’ve left the cast, and brought in new unknown people.
Wow, finally Dan-Serena is moving on! But i can’t imagine Hilary doing anything bitchy !
I LOVE HILARY!!!
omg !!!!! i <3 Hilary Duff !! i’ll start watching Gossip Girl !!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH ARE THEY THINKING?!!?!? SHE IS NOT GG MATERIAL!! SHE’S TACKY!!! NOO I CAN’T BELEIVE THIS, PROBABLY WRONG INFO!
oh nooooo…..!!why and when??
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES *————*
It’s a TV show and they should cast whoever they think will bring in ratings, #49.
They don’t ‘need’ to give anyone a chance at anything. It’s the people who’ve already made it that should have first dibs on roles.
Twilight was a bad movie and people knew who Kristen Stewart was.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH *————–*
I smell something “jumping the shark”
is it H. Duff’s career or Gossip Girl?
my guess, both.
Hilary Duff is great actress. She’s amazing!
WTF????NOOOOOOOO
HILARY DUFF SUCKS
noooo -_-
I like some of her songs, but not her acting
I hope she doesn’t last much
you’re crazy! She’s amazing!
like someone commented before.. R.I.P GG!!
OMG’, OMG’, OMG’, I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL, can’t wait to see Hil on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Hilary Duff.Nice polite cute girl.I only hate the fact that this storyline means more vanessa abrams screen time.Now they are attaching her to known names, after they attached her to every single cast member .I don’t know what that moron is still doing on the show
Love what you did there JJ
x
well, this may be the season I lose interest in the show, especially with Hilary Duff joining . . .no offence but she cannot act. I mean if is anything like past season then I do not know if I will continue to watch it.
omg, im gonna watch it. hilary looks like a rich girl on the upper east side, shes hot too unlike NYC prep
yayy… I love Hilary cannot wait to see how she does on the show.. can’t judge anything !!
womp womp.. couldn’t they get a good looking girl who could act. oh well, i’ll just stop watching it for the few episodes she’s on. hey bb, stop being so fcuking gay. ‘OMG”. hahahahaha
Ewww….they couldn’t find anyone else??
Guess better Hilary than Hailie.
She’s gonna ruin the show. Seriously why can’t GG hire unknown actresses who have talent instead of going for untalented famous ones???
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I CANTTTTTTTTTTTTTT WAIT!
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HERRRR
OMG! can’t wait to see the new eps!……………….I can’t imagine her in gg!
Well, the ratings have declined in season two. Season three (college years) are going to dip even lower, and it will be canceled.
love her and looking forward to the show next season then
[start of rant] If they wanted decent ratings, they never should have f*cked up last season. They lost at least a MILLION viewers last season because of the idiocy in the writing department, and because Josh and Stephanie chose to give us Nair instead of Chair, and Dan and some sl*t and Nate “the manwh*re” instead of Derena or Serenate. And by Derena and Serenate I don’t necessarily mean them together as couples. Even some friendly interaction would have been nice. It was only in the finale that we finally felt the Non-Judging Breakfast Club’s energy return. The producers should have been banking on that energy throughout the season. Don’t even get me started on the full-fledged disaster that was 2×20.
I thought GG jumped the shark last season, but I at least was mildly relieved with the last couple of episodes. It was slowly starting to recover. But WOW. Hilary Duff? Who’s the casting director? I want him or her FIRED. Enough is enough. Now they’re just trying too hard. Reeling people in with bigger names? It doesn’t work. They tried that in season seven of the WB’s Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and it still wasn’t enough to save the show from crumbling. It was canceled.
Wow, this makes me hate the new season already. If they want the ratings to go up again, come up with some captivating storylines that people will gravitate towards, not move away from. HEAVILY advertise the Chuck & Blair relationship because, let’s face it, Chuck and Blair are the reason most people watch, and perhaps allow for some more interaction among the leads. But don’t keep hiring guests who cannot act. The GG cast is already full and needs no more additions. Focus on what you have and improve upon it. This idiocy frustrates me to no end. Can’t they hire some new blood to write for this show? I don’t want to see it end. TV without Chuck and Blair would be a dismal place. GG just needs a remedy. Anyway, that’s my two cents. ED AND LEIGHTON, you carry this show on your shoulders. [end of rant]
Wow, first Ghost Whisperer, then Law and Order, Now gossip girl. Can’t she get any actual steady work??
iam from indonesia, and i always watch GG every week from you tube. Blair and chuck is the first reason why i watched this movie. I am sure They have a big reason to put Hillary duff on GG. But i hope she can act well, so no matter what will happened on the next season, wish its no the end of season.
#77 : Yeah u right, ED and Leighton : u carry this show on your shoulders… LOL.. hahaha
lame.
stunt casting and major changes are not smart during the most difficult time for a teen series: when the series regulars split up and go to college, changing the setting and chemistry of the show.
I LOVE HILARY DUFF SO I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS! I THINK SHE WILL FIT IN GREAT!
AGH!!
NO!!
First they cast Brittney Snow for the spin off & now this??
Why are they trying so desperately to ruin a good thing?
:(
“also reports that Olivia will be the new love interest for Dan”
And I say: Only for Dan??? Why I think that she will be the “love interest” for the whole male cast??? lol!
this blows. i can’t stand hilary duff. she won’t fit in with GG and i can’t stand her face and her voice; she’ can’t act!!! horrible idea.
ugh! If they book Hilary, why not Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, too?! ew! It’ll totally ruin the best show ever! Not to mention that her storyline is totally like Hannah Montana… And if they hook her up with Dan, I’ll kill them!! I’m serious -.- I’m sorry but when i look at her, all i see is the lil Disney starlet.
i like her, it’s going to interesting.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EW EW EW :(
she just can’t be on gossip girl, she will ruin the show
Ohh myyy goddd
are you kidding???
couldnt they get a real actress?
no offense but she is going to look so weird.
dans too hot for her hope he moves on fast LOL
I hate her, no more gossip girl 4 me
I don’t think that’s it’s a good idea to couple up Hilary and Penn!!
Serena and Dan are the COUPLE, it will change everything on GG!!
+ Hilary is not such a great actress, singing suites her more!
I don’t want her on TV, I want her between my legs!!! Yeah baby!!!
no wayyyyyyyyyyyy
hilary duff sucks.
why gossip girl?????
JUST BRING BACK DAN AND SERENA PLEASE. GF for Dan for a short while, I’m alright but DAN AND SERENA!
Yay Hilary is back on tv! Can’t wait her awesome come back. Hopes she does well playing Olivia Burke and may her character be great like what they did with Georgina Sparks.
I can’t wait for Gossip Girl to return this fall. :D
You all act like this **** is Masterpiece Theatre. Please, it’s a show on the CW for crying out loud. This girl can act her ass off. Steady work? Check out her IMDb profile and tell me if that’s not steady work with five movies in coming out soon, a new clothing line, and a perfume. “Like OMG are the fans mad because Hilary is going to be on the show.” Get over yourself, this show is not Friends or 30 Rock. It’s a damn teen show on the CW.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SHE CAN’T ACT, SHE IS A TALENTLESS OVERRATED SUCKER
SHE’S TOO MANINSTREAM AND MILEY CYRUS’ISH..
WE WANT A REAL ACTRESS WITH REAL TALENT AND A RESUME FILLED WITH INDIE PROJECTS
NOT THIS BARBIE WANNABEE
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
frankly saying a bad decision…………….her acting really sucks………
OMG! Can’t wait for Gossip Girl! and I like Hilary! I think she’ll great! xoxo - Kyra
yaayy she’s awesome,i feel gg is gonna get better the new season :))
@ava: I agree, I will have to see her in it but its like putting zac efron in the show…..too well known now!
NO NO NOO!
I freaking love GG. been watching it since the pilot ep. BUT NOO. NOT HILARY DUFF. she’ll ruin it.
:(
it’s gonna be perfect! and strange…
what the ****? dnw lizzie mcguire in my show.
Hil must be excited! i remember a while ago she was telling how obsessed she was with GG and Chuck Bass ;)
ohhh thats not even fair!…what about Kristen Bell? she deserves a spot on the show
I absolute HATE this!
The show needs better writing as it is. Not a Hilary fan at all. Bad enough she has the gall to play the Bonnie from the Bonnie and Clyde movie but I can’t see how her “self conscious look at me I’m so pretty” acting style will fit in with the show.
The new season is going to be terrible.
Of course this is all because the rating for GG were never that great. Even the buzz is dying down.
I wonder what “shocking” low brow ad they will come up with for the new season this time.
i’m so xcited to see wat happens next, i’ll b laughin if a grrl fight happens too :)
ARE YOU SERIOUS!??? OMG
OMG!can’t wait!
wow i have mixxed feelings bout this. first of all, dont get me wrong, i love the girl, but on gossip girl ? i don’t really know what to expect, olivia in the books is known as a bitchy girl, and really, im use to seeing hil playing the good, nice, girl. this should be intresting… a lot of the girls on GG are badass and slutss and bitchyy … but hil ? we will have to see
I’M SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!
I adore Hilary!!!!
She is goign to be awesome <3333
haha, i hope shes an italian popstar named “Isabella”
we should see than judge from what ive seen of her so far, she pretty good
shell do good and if shes bad, then let the trashtalking begin…
HAHA how great for dan going from breathtaking tall thin serena to the short chubs horsey duffster..lucky man LMAO
WTH?????!!! NO NO NO NO!
puhhlleeaasssee…she’s not a GG material. At all!
seriously..,what the heck?
SHE WILL DO WELL !!!! i cant wait to watch the new season . xoxo
Me too..
I saw this and was like, NO!
she’s gonna muck everything up…
i used to like her but not now, and she SO does not fit into the gg scene. Ew?
:( :( :( :(
*sob.*
Oh God. This show has officially jumped the shark. Last season was bad enough.
i like her and i like GG, good combo.
wooooooooow, that’s great.
i love u hil<3
HILARY IS MY LIFE… X3
PEERFECT, PEEERFECT!
I Love Vanessa Abrams…now i love her.
happy for her
i think it will be great. ugh, but i dont like the idea that she’ll be roomate with V. omg… can’t wait. love her.
NONONONONONONO!
this is all wrong, i cannot picture hilary in this cast.
to me she is the goodie too shoes, as i’ve been watching her ever since she first came out, gossip girl is way different to her normal acting she doesn’t even look like apart of the cast! so therefore i don’t support this.
this is going to be interessting!!
i really wonder how she’s going to dress, especially when she’s next to all these tall girls.. :p
I do not cair about her. More storyline for Vanessa and dan! Yes, yes,yes.. It’s about time!
wew!! thats really good news!!
hilary starring on GG!!!
GG show will go strong with hilary
hoho
Oh god…all the good music is gossip girl will be replaced by her….
Has Disney had enough of her? Now she has to take over the only good teenage show that doesn’t constantly talk about girls getting pregnant and tries to have some sort of after school special on it?
oh my god hilary duff. i love her so much. she´s the best of all.
i´m so happy and excited to see her in gossip girl. she´s amazing actrice. WOW
greetings from germany
isabell
eeeewwwww..so not looking forward to this… she CAN’T ACT, when are people going to realize this. I really hope its only for some episodes and not the whole season,
OMG!! I LOVE HER!!! She has done a good job in the first episode! pple stop hating her. she is great! H-Duff 4 ever!
