Gossip Girl costars and real-life couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgley took a romantic getaway together last weekend to Paraiso de la Bonita, a luxury resort in Mexico’s Mayan Riviera.

Though they have dodged relationship rumors about themselves, the evidence is clear with all the kissing, giggling and frolicking on the beach. Penn was even seen applying sun tan lotion to her lower back!

To check out the pictures of the steamy kissing and cuddling between Blake, 20, and Penn, 21, check out People.com.

What should we call this couple — Plake? Blively?? Bladgley???

FYI: Blake and Penn were home schooled together for two years when they were younger. They just happened to end up on Gossip Girl together and share a love arc! <3

Penn Badgley and Jessica Szohr shoot scenes for their not-such-a-hit drama Gossip Girl on Monday in New York City.

Not such a hit? Well, according to overnight Nielsen ratings, only 2.44 million viewers tuned in to the return of Gossip Girl last night, which is only slightly better than its last original episode on January 9. However, GG did help The CW score its highest ratings ever in the Monday 8-9pm time period among adults 18-34 (1.9/6) and women 18-34 (2.9/8).

So what did taking down streams of new Gossip Girl episodes online do? Absolutely nothing!

Check out this new interview with Penn at NYMag.com. And it’s been reported that model and magazine heiress Lydia Hearst, 23, will be on the season finale of Gossip Girl. She will the play the role of interior director Amelia and has a moment with Chuck (Ed Westwick).

And what happened last night?? Wasn’t someone supposed to be of “the gay persuasian”? More Here! »

NY Magazine has a cover feature on the CW’s hottest drama, Gossip Girl. Here are two of the most important excerpts from the article:

– Leighton [Meester] will even talk about a subject most starlets consider taboo: boys. She’s loosely entangled with Sebastian Stan, who plays scruffy trust-fund hippie Carter Baizen on the show. They were introduced by Chace, who became best friends with Sebastian in 2006’s forgettable supernatural thriller The Covenant. Leighton and Sebastian were snapped kissing outside of a Halloween party in October, and now he might move in with Chace and Ed. For a girl who claims that she never has a good time on dates, she seems a little smitten. “We still hang out,” she says coyly. “He reminds me of Ray Liotta.” (She’s obsessed with GoodFellas.)
– It’s true: Ed [Westwick] and Chace [Crawford] aren’t dating. It’s better. They’re roommates. We like to imagine that they live in one of those ridiculous primary-color apartments from The Real World, with a climbing wall and a koi pond and cameras in the shower. But in reality the apartment is more like any apartment shared by guys in their twenties, with scant furniture and video games and food-encrusted dishes.
