Gossip Girl hunk Penn Badgley rubs shoulders with Brooke Shields and Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton at the exclusive opening of the Renaissance New York Hotel 57 on Thursday (September 17) in New York City.

The 22-year-old Gossip Girl hunk gave JustJared.com an exclusive interview after British singing sensation Mr Hudson’s smashing performance.

JJ: Hi, Penn! How have you been?

PB: I’m great - I can’t complain. You’re always done up more than the rest of the people here! This jacket is very nice - what is this? (tugs at jacket zipper) Zara! It looks even nicer than that, though.

JJ: Thank you! What’d you think of Mr Hudson’s performance?

PB: He’s great - I’d never even seen or heard of him before and it was nice - it was simple, pleasant music.

JJ: How was the US Open [with girlfriend Blake Lively]?

PB: It was amazing - I loved it! I had never watched tennis in person and I’d grown up being aware of it and watching it but it was so much more exciting to see in person. [Roger] Federer with that between-the-legs shot - that was f—in’ incredible. That was really the highlight of my weekend - I was hoping for that kind of moment. At that point, I was expecting it. The game had reached a point where it was either going to end soon or it was going to go on for, like, two hours. So I was hoping, hoping, hoping that would happen. It was great.

JJ: Did you watch the finals?

PB: You know what, I was working and I wasn’t able to see them, so I heard just today that del Potro won! He is two years younger than me! I was looking through the US Open profile thing and he was born in ‘88. Amazing.

Ugly Betty star Becki Newton and her husband, The Starter Wife actor Chris Diamantopoulos, spend the day along Miami Beach before attending the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Fontainebleau Hotel. Check out the sensuous massage Chris, 33, gave Becki, 30, a massage after their romantic walk together!

FYI: The couple first met underground! Becki has shared, “[Chris and I] actually met in Times Square on the subway platform. I was walking one way… and he was walking the other way. So we walked by each other and we had that moment where we looked at each other. And I started laughing because he was cute and he busted me checking him out. I kept walking and 30 seconds later, I felt a little tap on my shoulder. He said, ‘Excuse me, I think I might be lost.’ I said, ‘Mmm, I don’t think you are.’ He said, ‘Maybe you’re lost?’ I said, ‘No.’ And he said, ‘This area’s very confusing, maybe we should just figure this out together.’” After riding the subway together, Chris asked Becki if she wanted to see him onstage in The Full Monty. She recalls, “He said, ‘I don’t want to be too forward but maybe you’d like to come see me naked on Broadway sometime.’ So I did and now we’re married.”
