On-and-off-screen coupleBlake Lively (in Dolce & Gabbana) and Penn Badgley look positively sun-kissed at the CW Network’s Upfronts at Lincoln Center on Tuesday in New York City.

The Gossip Girl costars recently came back from a lovefest in Mexico this past weekend!

“It’s the first show we developed exclusively for the CW,” President of Entertainment of The CW Dawn Ostroff said of Gossip Girl. “It’s amazing the kind of press and attention that it’s gotten. We asked, wow, do we take that building block to build other franchises? We’ll be able to create a real brand with pop culture, buzz-worthy shows.”

Other GG castmates pictured: Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Ed Westwick and Taylor Momsen. (Leighton’s purple top is from TRL.)

Gossip Girl hotties Leighton Meester (in Giambattista Valli) and Chace Crawford attend a press conference for GG at the 2008 Telefilm Festival in Milan, Italy on Sunday.

Costar Michelle Trachtenberg spoke with TV Guide and learned that Leighton’s been blowing up her spot!

I was reading that on the set, they call her “Georg-i-na,” as in “rhymes with a female body part.” Oh dear! Who told you that?

I believe it’s Leighton Meester who’s out there telling that tale. [Laughs] There are definitely many nicknames for Georgina.

What do you think Georgina’s motive is for making Serena’s life a living hell? She wants a friend. I know that may not seem like too much motivation, but to some people a friendship and the loss of a friendship can be devastating. Also, when Georgina sets her mind to something there’s nothing that can stand between her and getting it.
