O.C. Creator in Negotiations at CW for "Gossip Girl" Series
O.C. creator Josh Schwartz is in talks with the CW about creating a new TV series. The show would be based on the serialized novels "Gossip Girl."
Not familiar with the books? In a nutshell, they're quick reads about the rich and popular teens of Manhattan's most elite 'hoods and schools -- kind of like The O.C. gone Park Avenue. Can Schwartz do for the East Coast prep squad what he's already done for California's ritziest county? We're excited to find out...
Comments
i like this show i can't say i love it though because it's like the same thing the writer keeps saying over and over espcially about blaire okay wel alreay know that her dad left her mom for a man male model so stop telling us i think nate is tottaly hot and he should be playing serena's former lover meaning the role dan is playing i think it so cute that serena's little brother is friends with dan's sister in real life those two make a really good couple so that's cute this story should have more drama you know what i think i think that serena got pregnantwith nates baby and she didn't tell anyoneand she say's she went to a boarding school but no one know's for sure she might have had the babby in stuff and she gave it up for adoption who know's you know you hate me

gossip girl is a great show
Posted by: laurisa | October 4, 2007 10:29 AM
eeek.. I think nates character is horrrible, along with jennys.
Im pretty sure nate looked like a complete goof in the first episode. With his hair all slicked back? I was definitly hoping for a hot stoner image.
I think Jennys character looks nothing like she should look at all. she's way too skinny and blonde and... ya, just no. And where are her massive boobs? I think that's a big part of who her character is. A lot of the stuff about her was based around her self conciousness about her boobs..
Dans character definitly does it for me. I actually pictured him like that. Although I pictured his style & stuff a little different.
Serena and Blairs characters are ok.. I dont know. I guess they can't get it perfect sinse we all got different images when we read the books!
I can't wait to see Vanessa.
Although the way they've been completely changing the characters she'll probably come on with a full head of hair or something stupid.

ok....i no im gonna love this show cuz i just love the books....but i just hate the people they casted for the charcters..basically for everyone...y did they make eric younger??? like hello!!! theres basically a whole book on blair and eric and how she almost loses her vriginity to him!!! he cant be younger and they definitely need to fina a vanessa...and fastcuz shes sooo important and one of my faves
Posted by: samantha | August 27, 2007 6:30 PM
I think that blake lively is all wrong for the part. She is pretty but not pretty enough to be serena. Blair should for sure be megan fox and i think the girl from ice princess would be a good jenny. i think nate is perfect. but i guess everyone just has their own views on how the characters should look like. im kind of nervous for the show i hope it doesnt ruin the books for me but i must say i absolutely love the books! i dont think the show will even compare to the books. But i'll watch it anyway. Hopefully it will be a decent show.
Posted by: Jamie | August 22, 2007 4:37 PM
I always imagined Alexis Bledel as Blair when reading the books. I can understand Blake Lively being Serena, but wtf as that little girl from The Grinch being Jenny? I'm so excited that Kristen Bell is the Gossip Girl voice. I love her. I'm quite disappointed that Dan is better looking that Nate. I don't like Dan that much in the books, and now I'm going to be all shallow and fall in love with him because he's gorgeous. Gosh. I'm glad this is coming on because I'm dying without The O.C.
Posted by: Haley | August 20, 2007 8:21 PM
oh good lord, you can't use cast members from the oc, i think the cast in this is perfect!
nate is attractive, serena is a natural, blair is pretty (except she should be less bitchy), jenny (meh) and dan is the beauty in disguise, like he's not gorgeous, but just right. PERFECT!
Posted by: ryan | August 19, 2007 9:16 PM
I'd totally shave my head for Vanessa's role. It'd be the best excuse ever to do so...Meh, I need to stop the dream.

Posted by: MAGGIE | July 23, 2007 3:17 PM
i was so evcited when i heard that gg was gonna be a tv show but when i saw the actors i was so shocked i thought dan would look better and nate.......the thing that made me mad was that they said jenny had a big bust but on the preview they were very small u can even notice them and then i tought she would be a brunnete not a blond but besides that i love GG i read 3 of the books and i loved all of them i hope they make the show just like the book and i cant wait to watch it!!
Posted by: crissy | July 16, 2007 10:17 PM

Serena-Blake Lively, Mischa Barton
Blair-Sophia Bush, Rachel Bilson
Jenny-Willa Holland
Nate-hmm…???
Dan-Adam Brody
Serena’s mom (I know she’s not a big part, but whatever)-Kelly Rowan

I love love love love love the preview of gossip girl, ever since the oc went down hill because of them killing off marissa cooper i've been wanting a girlie girl tv show and now i have it. I was sad to see that jenny didnt have huge boobs, isnt that what kinda makes her who she is. Dan was okay too, I thought he was suppose to be blonde and more lanky, and urbanish..but whatever. I think yall did a great job on casting blair, serena, and nate. He's freaking hott and the fashion looks awesome. I cant wait till the show comes out, ill be watching and i'm sure hella more people too and like the book says, "you know you love me" and i DOOOO !!!
Posted by: jane smith | July 10, 2007 2:15 AM
I loved the idea of Gossip Girl being a TV series. It's what I've been waiting for since I started reading the FIRST word in the first book! I also watched the Sneak Peak video on CW.com and it's awesome! I might've expected a much more timid, shy, or let's just say "closed" Dan and a less confident Jenny, but, hey, my dream is already true! I'd love to know if it will be playing on ANY other channel other than the CW during its start on September 26, 2007. (yes. that's how detailed I read)But since I dont know how to figure that out YET, I'll stick to the "Extremely-Happy-And-I-Cant-Even-Wait!" me. :D Big Thanks to "everyone" who came up with this idea (Josh Schwartz, etc.)

a few days ago the preveiw thing for gossip girl came on the cw, and i started SCREAMING! that is how excited i am for this lol. i havent finished all the books but i did finish most, i just started reading about 2 mounths ago. i really want this show to last as many seasons as possiable. i would be so dissapointed if it only got 1 or 2 seasons. cant wait (:!
Posted by: maggie | July 1, 2007 11:20 AM
I've read every Gossip Girl novel (Just finished the last and final one. Tear) so I'm SUPER excited for the show. But I have a bone to pick with the casting people of CW. Blake is a PERFECT Serena, but I can't say the same for Blair. Leighton Meester only has the height and hair color going for her. I'm not that disappointed that she's playing Blair but I was looking forward to the sparkling blue eyes. Oh well though. The rest of the cast is very disappointing though. I agree with alot of you when you say that Nate and Dan were cast wrong. Dan's supposed to be this gorgeous Abercrombie modelesque lacrosse playing stoner with golden brown hair and gorgeous green eyes. The guy they cast for him loosely fits that description. And Dan's supposed to be the skinny pale, shaggy-haired poetic type. Jenny, his little sister, is the biggest casting disappointment for me. She is supposed to be dark-haired, petite, and very well endowed. Instead they cast a skinny little blonde? That makes me sad. I'm pretty upset that they didn't cast a Vanessa, but if the show does as well as I hope it will, she'll deffinately be a regular for next season. I know that it's "based" on the book and all, but for those of us that have followed every book religiously and fell in and out of love with all of the characters so many times, it hurts a little to see them not portrayed the way that they were in the book. Either way, I absolutely LOVE the CW for deciding to make Gossip Girl a T.V. series, and I know that I'll be watching every episode.
Can't wait for the Gossip Girl prequel coming out in October! And can't wait even more for the NEW series about the Carlyle triplets. Who knows, maybe they'll even make that a series after.
Posted by: Victoria | June 30, 2007 10:00 AM
i agree...they casted dan, nate and even chuck wrong......but i'm still going to love the show....i really love the books once i read 3 book in ONE day, there just so good...but i dont know havlf the things that happened in the book is going to be wrong in the movie and i kind of hate that...but i guess i have to wait...im so excited...
Posted by: caroline v | June 25, 2007 2:39 PM

OMG!! i can't wait for this series to come out! i read the books like religiously. Blake Lively will be perfect for Serena, she has the effortless
beauty look and totally suits the character. Can't wait to see it guyz!!
Posted by: trish | June 21, 2007 7:22 PM
omg!i cnt w8 4 d gossip girl series!!
but i think the people who were casted for serena,blair,jenny,and nate are all wrong!!
love the books!!
xxxxxxxxx
Posted by: Hannah A | June 20, 2007 10:25 AM
THIS IS TRULY AMAZING!!!OK I THINK SERENA IS CASTED PERFECTLY!! I LUV BLAKE AND SHES PERFECT 4 THE PART...I HAVE 2 AGREE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE NATE...NATE IS SUPPOSE TO BE BIG AND BUFF WITH EMERALED GREEN EYES TANNED AND LOOK LIKE A STONER...THE NATE THEY CASTED IS LAME AND LOOKS LIKE A DORK!!!...NATE IS SUPPOSE TO BE HOTTTT!!!DAN WAS CASTED WRONG BUT IN A GOOD WAY I THINK... THE GUY PLAYING DAN IS SUCH A HOTTIE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...DAN AND NATE SHOULD SWITCH PLACES!!!AND WHATS WRONG WITH JENNY???I THOUGH SHE WAS SUPPOSE 2 HAVE BIG DOUBLE D CUP BOOBS AND CURLY BROWN HAIR NOT BLONDE. THAT IS BAD CASTING...TAKE SOME ADVICE READ THE BOOK AND GET ACTORS WHO MATCH THE DECRIPTIONS!!!!!
Posted by: Dani | June 18, 2007 6:04 PM
IT REALLY DOESNT MATTER I THE CHARACTERS END UP LOOKIN LIKE THE ONES IN THE BOOK ANYWAYS... IS "based" ON THE BOOK NOT- COMPLETLY ABOUT... IS FUNNER WHEN THEY USE SOMEONE YOU NEVER EXPECTED- A BLONDE BECOMES A BRUNETTE... WATEVER! IF IT WORKS IT WORKS. I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING VANESSA FOR THE 2ND SEASON- AFTER DAN THINKS HE'LL GET WAT HE WANTS WITH SERENA
Posted by: EMI | June 17, 2007 9:34 PM
okay so i've read almost all of the books and they are incredible.
I cannot wait for the television series to air. It's going to be nothing short of amazing. However, who is playing vannessa? on IMDB, it doesn;t show here or aron. anyway, are there any auditions going on in Denver????

Posted by: Emma Actress | June 17, 2007 5:37 PM
eric van der woodsen:

tyler waldorf:
is there gona be one.
aaron rose:
aaron dosen't come around for a long time so i wonder who they will cast.
nate archibald:
he soooooooo dosen't fit the description....soooo disappointing =(
blair waldorf:
i like the girl playing her, but she should have shorter hair, and look mor elike audrey hepburn
serena van der woodsen:
not the right choice, she should look softer.
jenny humphrey:
okay like wow, this was sooooooo bad!!!she should be a brunette not blonde! and she has big boobs!
dan humphrey:
yea, he's hot , but he should have longer hair.
if u have any more quetsions or comments about the characters ask me!
You know you love me

Posted by: Julia | June 16, 2007 9:05 PM
i can't wait for the show...but it's annoying cause they said that serena left for a mysterious reason and in the book she just left for bording school. and jenny and nate are not at all how i pictured them.
Posted by: Julia | June 16, 2007 9:02 PM
there cant be a dan without a vanessa.and i think lizzy caplan would be a great vanessa! and jenny is supposed to be a brunette not a blond!

Posted by: shanni | June 11, 2007 12:57 PM
wut is the reasoning behind no VANESSA???
Posted by: motley crue bebe | June 10, 2007 11:16 AM
when i read the books which i have read all of them, blake lively is the girl i pictured as Serena,and when i found out she would be playing her i died. where is vanessa? im so angry that shes not in it right now! also nate is supposed to be buff and hott not small. dan is hott which is good not really what i pictured but i like it. jenny is supposed to be kinda chunky and brunette...blonde and skinny doesnt work! kati and isabel dont matter....have the producers even read the books? probobly not! i love these books and i wish they would care more about the characters than the elite fashion thing they are going for now!

Posted by: claire | June 4, 2007 6:58 PM
OMG i cant wait for the Gossip Girl series!!! but i have a few questions for CW. Were is Vanessa and Aaron? Hello that was Dan's gf, and Aaron is Blair's Stepbrother. Well there be cussing like in the books? they say way more then just what TV is allowed. Other then that i just wanted to tell the actors that most of then look the part and that i am SO HAPPY THAT GOSSIP GIRL IS GOING TO BE A TV SERIES, i am going to have all my friends watch it!!!
Posted by: Jesse | June 3, 2007 10:20 PM
When is this show gonna air....nd how long is it goin to be?...
So excited!
Posted by: Lecia | June 1, 2007 9:34 PM
OMG! first of all i would like to say soo exciting! i loved all of the books and i cant wait for the show! heres what i think...
Blair = horrible. nothing i had imagined and her teeth bug me.
Serena = PERFECT! i am a big fan of blake lively and i think she is gorgeous!
Nate = gross. he NEEDS to be more toned down. hes supposed to be a relaxed beach boy stoner type not a preppy boy.
Jenny = where is the brown curly hair and big boobs? i was disappointed
Dan = hotter than nate in my opinion. he needs to be more mysterious (longer hair, more artistic)
Kati and Isabel = i could care less b/c they arent that important
Chuck = good! vair sleezy
i really think that lizzy caplan who played janis ian in mean girls would make a really cool vanessa!
Posted by: Meghan | June 1, 2007 12:14 AM
okay, so here is what i think of gossip girl. Blair is really good for her part. She fits the description i always had in my mind. Serena i perfect! Everyone that says she isn't good for the part can go..i dont know. For jenny, she isn't what i picturred her to be, but i think that we will all grow to love her. I think it was a good choice to make. For nate, EW! he isnt what i pictured at all. sure, he is good-looking, but he should be more surfer,preppy boy(with lighter brown hair). and where are vanessa or aaron? they are definetley crucial to the show. and i could care less about kati and isabel. but whatever; im sure the show will be amazing. oh, and i airs on september 5th at nine p.m. AH, i dont think i can wait all summer! me and my friends are gonna like have a party or something :]
Posted by: Lindsey | May 31, 2007 3:48 PM
Wow, i think that they casted this show perfectly, right down to sleexy chuck and gorgeous serena. I love to hate the blair character which is perfect and nate is sooooo cute. I am so excited for this series i don't know how I am going to survivie this summer, because i want it to start NOW!!
Posted by: Sydney | May 31, 2007 12:22 AM
Ok so theres going to be a movie?
And a tv series?
Who is Erik?
And whos Rain?
Are they in the books?
I haven't finished the books yet. So thats why I might not know.
When does it show?
What day?
What channel?
Are they going to follow along with the books?
If someone could answer these...
It'd be MUCH APPRECIATED!
THANKS :)

who will be playing the role of blair's stepbrother aaron???????????
Posted by: gossip | May 30, 2007 7:28 AM
although i konw serena is a main character it seems that the show is almost completely about her. this is what i think of each character.
Serena: not what i ever pictured her i pictured a charming gorgeous girl that everyone fell in love with instantly. i just dont see that in blake.
Blair: almost perfect. im sorry to everybody that thought megan fox should play her. i think she plays the role really good and i cant wait ti see what she can really do.
nate: not what i pictured him, hes supposed to be more toned down i think.
chuck:i dunno, i never even really cared for chuck in the books lol.
Kati and isabel: ?? seriously, atleast they're not the MAIN main characters.
jenny:nothing like the jenny in the book but that girl can act and act perfect. shes my favorate character i think.
dan: is very hot. but not dan-ish he needs longer hair.
did i forget anyone?
:) those are my opinions.
cant wait for GG!
<3
Posted by: maggie | May 29, 2007 8:29 PM
okay the cast is all wrong!! serena is supposed to be flawless and look good in whatever but i dont get that vibe from her actor...nate is supposed to be handsome..and have green(not blue) eyes....the blair character is perfect though.. Rufus humphrey is supposed to have wirey grey hair..duh. and lastly Jenny Humphrey is supposed to be about 5 ft 2 with huge breasts. See the characters are ALL wrong.
Posted by: Kaitlin | May 29, 2007 7:50 PM
The girl who is playing serena definitley did not encompass the image that was portrayed in the book. Serena is supposed to be charming, light, and airy. The girl who plays her seems-in a lack of a better term, rugged and sort of boyish.
The girl who is playing BLAIR seems fit for the part although MEGAN FOX always seemed to be an obvious choice. I definitley see megan as blair more.
Overall, the casting was VERY disappointing. I've always had strong images of each character and high hopes.
However, I am still looking forward to the series because GG is an amazing series. I am excited to see what they come up with.
Posted by: Ren | May 29, 2007 3:59 PM
when does it come out????? anyone know for sure?
Posted by: gossipfreak | May 29, 2007 3:03 PM
all i have to say is that the girl who is playing BLAIR and the guy playing CHUCK BASS do not look at allllll how the book portrayed them to be. i think they did a terrible job with the casting,never in the book did it make blair seem to look that way.
Posted by: jenna | May 28, 2007 9:48 PM
okay so i have read the entire series, well the books that have been published who knows if ther are anymore. and the funny thing is. that im distgustingly obsessed with the OC and distgustingly obsessed with the book series gossip girl. the show to me seems a little bit of OC gone NY but who cares i love it!! hmm i think adam brody would play an amazing dan, but i just dont think they should put an OC characters in the show.

shwartz better make this good!
Posted by: gg | May 27, 2007 4:00 AM
sooo excited for Gossip Girl
I think the girl they got for blair is perfect plus in the Trailer she looked like she can reaslly act!
Posted by: courtney | May 25, 2007 9:22 PM
they cant not have a V, it makes no sense to have dan but not vanessa. it starts sept 5? i think blake livly isnt as beautiful and gorgeous as i pictured serena and she doesnt have the same personality eathier to me, dont get me wrong blakes gorgeous but not serena but blair is perfect exactly how i pictured her. and nates to perfectish looking he needs to have shagier hair i keep getting him and chuck messed up in the preveiws. jenny is completely different but idc cause she plays the role really good. dan needs longer hair. : )
Posted by: maggie | May 25, 2007 12:53 PM
Megan Fox? Sorry to her fans, but she looks like white trash. She doesn't have the class that blair has. I like the fact that no one on this show is inhumanly gorgeous. it makes more sense.
Wait, the preview is Sep. 5. June 1 is a friday!
Posted by: hottie02020 | May 24, 2007 9:23 PM
WHO S VANESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how can u hav a plot W/OUT VANESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck - Ed Westwick
Kati - Nan Zhang
Isabel - Nicole Fiscella

Gossip Girl - Kristen Bell
I cant wait for this show!
click link for sneakpeak: http://www.cwtv.com/video?vid=gossipgirl
Here's the official CW trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0oWK67kuNQ&NR=1
They didn't actually follow the description of each character when they did the casting especially Jenny! But since its just based on the book I guess they could alter the characters.
here's a link for Connor's pics. http://alexander6260.tripod.com/id28.html
i decided to post this link coz people just end up finding Connor's younger pics which make them think Erik's gonna be the younger brother. Actually, Connor's really 16 (i think) so I dont know if they're gonna make Erik the younger or older brother. anyone have any idea?

ok so i saw a clip from the gossip girl series on e today and i was very dissappointed. The person playing Blaire totally dosn't look like i imagined. I also think that the girl from the grinh playing jenny, are you serious. isnt she like ten???
Posted by: katy | May 17, 2007 6:47 PM
OMG!!! I am soo excited for the gossip girls series to come out i thnk blake is a perfect serena...the grl hey picked for blair is good but megan fox would have been better shes got that whole attitude...AND OMG MIKE VOGEL AS NATE ahh that would be perfect, adam brody would make a good dan nd mackenzie from 7th heaven a good jenny...but i was soo disapointed that they chose that guy to be nate instead of MIKE VOGEl
Posted by: gossipgirlfan | May 17, 2007 5:58 PM
gossip girl is amazing and meghan fox should be blair hands down thats exactly what blair is supposed to look like plus the girl they got doesnt have blue eyes and the whole point of blair his her blue eye death stare. but besides that its not a bad casting job just bad job on blair. the other girl better do an amazing job to make up for her laking in looking like blair.

Posted by: jenna | May 12, 2007 11:13 AM
so this would be my cast for the gossipgirl series:
Blair: Willa Holland
Serena: Blake Lively
Nate: Maxwell Zagorski
Vanessa:...don't know yet
Dan:Zac Efron
Chuck: Tom Felton
Jenny:....don't know yet
Posted by: gossipgirl006 | May 4, 2007 5:22 PM
yeaaaaah
Hayden Christensen ( like star wars III ) for Nate =D
Blakie Lively ( sisterhood for the traveling pants ) for Serena
Posted by: flora | May 4, 2007 3:25 PM
oh boy. the casting directors REALLY got the casting horribly wrong. The girl who's playing Jenny, looks NOTHING like her. Im so dissapointed...expect for that Blake Livley is playing Serena. But I think Nick Zano should have played Nate or Eric. Big dissapointment...CW.
Posted by: caitlin | May 2, 2007 5:02 PM
lol, zach as nate?
i would never
picture that.
Posted by: maggie | April 29, 2007 7:52 PM
Zac Efron as nate.
Posted by: meh | April 29, 2007 1:39 PM
blake lively is the PERFECT blake!
Posted by: sula | April 26, 2007 8:16 PM
yeah, she would.
but i think blake
will really do good
any idea when it starts?
Posted by: maggie | April 21, 2007 11:10 AM
i think sienna miller would be a good Serena!!
dont you think ?
Posted by: ruby | April 20, 2007 11:15 PM
is it going to be on tv in AUSTRALIA??!!!??!!??!??!?!?!
HOPE SOO
Posted by: ruby | April 19, 2007 4:52 AM
Hayden Christensen is soo nate =]
Hilarie Burton stars as Serena is the worst thing ive heard, she definitely blake..
blair she shud be Megan Fox . she cat-like just like blair
and that little curly head off seven heaven can be jenny, just give her boobys
puurfect
Posted by: ruby | April 19, 2007 4:51 AM
i heard june 1st will be the first episode. is that right?
Posted by: maggie | April 15, 2007 3:27 PM
im completely addicted to the books. the shows going to be so great. HOW great would Paul Dano be at Dan Though!! im so excited! :D
Posted by: maggie | April 13, 2007 3:23 PM
i know! how come they cant even pick a vanessa!? i dont know if tht blair they have is right, somehow, she doesnt seem pretty enough. the serena they have is almost PERFECT! the nate is going to be soooooo hot! but the jenny is sooooo wrong. people who see her arnt even gonna know who she is! also, wht about the other characters? the other love intrests tht happen to the other characters. wht bout them?
Posted by: Emily | April 11, 2007 7:51 PM
nate: "MIKE VOGEL"!!!!
Posted by: erica | April 10, 2007 4:54 PM
omg i can not wait im so excited! i love the boooks and the show is going to be so amazing except they better make sure nate has greeen eyes or he definately will not be the same and i wish jenny looked older cause she looks very young and also theres no one playing vanessa i def. want her in the show
besides that i can not wait at all !!!
Posted by: sam emanuele | April 10, 2007 12:53 PM
I hope u all love me on TV!
Kisses!
Blair
Posted by: Blair Waldorf | April 9, 2007 11:49 AM
OMG BLAKE HAS TO BE SERENA.. SHE IS SO SO SO PERFECT
Posted by: g.g. fann | April 8, 2007 11:38 PM
ok nick zano should play eric
and blake is perfect for serena or someone completely new. that would be good too. noone from the OC should be in gossip girl. that would completel ruin it. and as for blair, no adriana lima. they need new faces, because everyone in hollywood, is already portrayed in a different way by the paparazzi. so yea kthx
Posted by: seindbhm | April 7, 2007 10:59 PM
this is so exciting! i love gossip girl. and the cw.
blake lively is going to be wonderful for serena.
however, i just saw like the people on imdb.com and the actor for eric looks 12. actually, the girl for jenny looks older than him.
dont they know that eric is serena's OLDER brother??
Posted by: brooke | April 6, 2007 9:00 PM
This is such a great idea! I was looking forward to the movie with Lindsay Lohan but squeezing 13 books into like a 1 1/2 hour movie is stupid. A tv series is brilliant! All the actors that have been cast seem perfect. See here, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0847169/ if anyone wants to know the actors cast. I agree, Megan Fox would have been a good Blair. But Leighton Meester would be pretty good too. OMG I cant wait for this to come out! Hopefully it airs in Australia not long after America. I hope there's more than one season!
Posted by: Jen | March 31, 2007 9:25 PM
a tv show is way better than a movie.l imagining having to compress all thirteen books into two hours? stuoidest idea ever. as for the seasons, who says one season = one year? gossip girl is divided into thirteen books. i'm pretty sure they'll be able to make it last more than one season - if it's not a total bust.
Posted by: Marisa | March 31, 2007 5:37 PM
how about no to all of that. i dont think sohpia bush is good for blaire she looks too old for someone whos supposed to be 18 or 17 sophia bush is like 24. and the character thats supposed to be serena doesnt seem like her at all. ugh they really have to think this over but i cant wait despite anything!!!! YAY
Posted by: nicole | March 30, 2007 6:22 PM
Um, the TV show is a good idea, and as long as they cast good characters, that wont let us GG fans down, then they can count on me to tune in every week!
Posted by: Crystal | March 17, 2007 2:18 PM
I personally think that Chace Crawford is absolutely gorgeous and that he is perfect for Nate! My prediction came true. I think that's the only wise casting decision they have made so far. Megan Fox would make a great Blair. Oh well.
Posted by: Nic | March 14, 2007 12:07 PM
OFFICIAL CAST:
BLAIR - LEIGHTON MEESTER
SERENA - BLAKE LIVELY
NATE - CHACE CRAWFORD (EW!)
the rest havent been decided yet.
chace crawford is the fugliet thing ever! ughh im so mad!!
Posted by: lexi | March 11, 2007 2:52 PM
I think Megan Fox and Blake Lively are the best two people for Blair and Serena!!!
Posted by: Kat Livelly | March 10, 2007 9:19 PM
okayy.youre all idiots, why on earth would hilarie burton play serena or sophia bush play her or blair.thats lame.
natalie portman wont want to play any tv role, including vanessa.
kirsten cavallari is an idiot, and she shouldnt be acting on this.besides the fact that she represents everything that serenas not, she cant act.
zac efron, no.
christina augulera is not an actress, and doesnt fit the part.
avril lavigne, wtf?
the cast of the oc doesnt want to act again on like tv shows.
and mischa barton doesnt want to act for schwartz again, not that he wants her so much either.
so i could go on and on with all of your idiotic ideas, but im not going to.it would probably tkae hours.
p.s. no one here knows when the casting calls are, stop asking
Posted by: sami | March 10, 2007 9:56 AM
i think the cast should be like this ;;
blair-megan fox
serena-blake lively
nate-jesse mccartney
dan-adam brody
jenny-mackenzie rosman
&& i dont know about the others.
but thats just my opinion.
im super excited for this tv series !
--hope the cast is good--
;]
Posted by: lovely | March 8, 2007 11:31 PM
Blair: Sophia Bush.. i dont think Megan Fox would be good
Serena: blake Lively
Nate: im thinking Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Jesse McCartney
Dan: Daniel Radcliffe all the way.. he's got that poetic look he's perfect
jenny: im not sure.... mayb lindsay lohan mayb Michelle Trachtenberg im realy not sure (somebody that looks innocent but can get away w/ sexy)
Vannessa: idk
Posted by: #1 Fan!! | March 7, 2007 2:25 PM
Blair - Megan Fox
Serena - Blake Lively
Nate - Channing Tatum
Dan - Adam Brody
Vanessa - Britney Spears could be Vanessa since she shaved all of her hair off..
Jenny -Lindsay Lohan
Posted by: gossip | March 5, 2007 2:32 PM

leighton meester is playing the part of blair! i am very happy with that because she is gorgeous and she's a new actress that i haven't really seen so im very excited!!
Posted by: Anonymous | March 3, 2007 12:55 PM
omg! blake is totally serena. if they cast any people like avril or lindsey, im not going to watch it!
Posted by: katherine | February 28, 2007 9:02 PM
I'm so happy Josh Schwartz is producing the show. He is amazing, I was absolutely obsessed with the O.C.
Blair - Megan Fox
Serena - Blake Lively
Nate - ??
Dan - Adam Brody
Vanessa - ??
Jenny - ??
But definitely Megan Fox for Blair and Adam Brody.
I heard that Lindsay Lohan was casted as Blair for the movie (that didn't happen) LIKE HELL NO! She will totally wreck it for me if she is casted as Blair.
I can't wait to see who Nate is those ;)
Hope you see the shows soon! I'm definitely excited!
xoxo

OMFG, you guys I was looking around to see if they started casting for the Gossip Girl TV show and I came across this: http://tvbb.zap2it.com/showflat.php?Number=685805
It turns out they already picked Blake Lively for the part of Serena! But Blair ... I'm not so sure. I think they should totally recast Blair's role. Megan Fox should def. play her.
Posted by: facade gorgeous | February 26, 2007 6:06 PM
i lo veeeeee gossip girl books!
i think that these should be the characters-
BLAIR- Sophia Bush
SERENA- Blake Lively
NATE- Channing Tatum
DAN- Adam Brody! <3
JENNY-Michelle Trachtenberg
VANESSA- im not sure..
Posted by: butlere | February 24, 2007 7:04 PM
MEGAN FOX AS BLAIR PLLZZ!!
Posted by: Lexi | February 23, 2007 10:25 PM
Alright, so anyways I'm from Ontario Canada and I'm completly obsessed with Gossip Girl. Besides The O.C was a great show to bad it had to end. And by the way, no, it didnt do horrible after season one. But anyways Gossip Girl would be such an amazing show I swear they'd get like a billion viewers on there first week. When is it coming out anyways? I think Megan Fox would make a good Blair because Sophia Bush just doesnt have the certain charm for Blair. But anyway it would have to be someone really good. I think for Serena they should *really* look hard because, c'mon, its Serena were talking about. I think that Ryan Donowho would an amazing Nate. For Dan? Someone emo? I think Adam Brody is awesome but.. I have to say I dont think he should play the character of Dan. Maybe Timothy Parmer? I think thats who I'm thinking of anyways. For Jenny, shouldnt it be the girl who is actually on the cover of "the It girl" book? But maybe she doesnt act. I dont know, lets find out? And Vanessa? I really dont know that ones tough but I couldnt even imagine shaving my head theres just not way! Maybe Britney Spears? Haha no. Comment back <3 xxx
Posted by: Michelle | February 23, 2007 9:09 PM
Blake Lively would make a fantastic Serena. I could envision in that role perfectly.
I also agree on Megan Fox playing Blair.
For Vanessa Abrams, I picture Christina Ricci, or if not HER someone who looks like her.
I think Michelle Trachtenberg would make a good Jenny Humphrey, though they'll probably make her wear falsies or something.
Posted by: facade gorgeous | February 23, 2007 11:53 AM
So who's playing jenny ?
I know everyone say's this but.....i know the perfect person to play jenny's character. Are there going to be auditions open to the public? I know, crazy right ? But, its worth a try.
Posted by: skat | February 23, 2007 2:49 AM
whoever thinks kristin should play serena is srsly on something. thats such bull.
Posted by: andrea | February 22, 2007 10:37 PM
omg i loveeee the books sonnn.
i will totally watch the show.
i was a big fan of the OC and this will be an awsome replacement.
adam brody kinda looks like a dan but idk if he'd want to do another tv show.
kristen CANT be blai she's blonde blair is brunette.
i kinda see a blair as a rachel bilson.
you should find someone that kinda looks like her.
all the guys have to be hottt like they were in the OC.
Posted by: sarah | February 22, 2007 10:24 PM
i seriously agree with everyone about sernena being blake lively
and I also think megan fox would be an amazing blair.
Posted by: carly | February 21, 2007 4:56 PM
gossip girl books are AMAZING. I think making it into a TV series would be a great idea.
characters:
blair: kristin cavalari
serena: sophia bush
dan: adam brody
nate: channing tatum
Posted by: Stephanie | February 20, 2007 2:16 PM
NO KRISTEN OR LAUREN!
Urgh they are NOT ACTORS.
Blake Lively would be absolutely fantastic as Serena but then I think new characters for everyone else!
Posted by: Kai | February 10, 2007 3:15 PM
Hey im a HUGE fan of gossip girls !!! Its such a fun story to read and i cant wait to see it on tv. I only hope that it matchs up with the images i have already set it my mind for the story.For Blair i think that Sophia Bush would be the absolute perfect match. Shes such a nice pretty actress and i think that she could pull of blair very nicely.
But whatever you do with the show hurry were all waiting!!!
Posted by: tay | January 31, 2007 8:38 PM
haley bennett for blair, check out her myspace....her with dark hair could be perfecto
Posted by: ynk | January 28, 2007 7:49 PM
I just read on the NY Times site that Lindsay Lohan has signed to play blair...i don't see that working. GG should be made into a TV show, there are too many plotlines for a movie.
Posted by: Helen | January 28, 2007 9:57 AM
ehhmagod
they are not going to give out random casting info, i think they should make the desicions by calling people in.
blair- megan fox
serena- blake lively!!!
dan- taylor handly
love ya babes

Hey y’all! I’m a teenage guy from somewhere in the US! Id like to express my opinions here too and I got a lot…. So do I got your attention? I hella hope so! Hehe.
So two days ago I was on the phone to my friend when she told me the bad news - - THE O.C GOT CANCELLED—I yelled like a crazy girl that just got dumped on the phone and broke my cell phone! HAPPY NEW YEAR? Yeah I don’t think so!
One of my favorite shows cancelled?! I thought… oh no… But then I guess in some instance I see why… Why kill off a main character? Marissa was the best! Anyway, this isn’t about that!
I have red some of y’all’s comments in relation to what actors should play the characters in Gossip Girl. I’m here to tell y’all that Diana DeGarmo would be absolutely perfect for the role of Blair. Her fansite (dianad.com) appears to get larger each time I visit…
The best part is that over 40million people watched her on American Idol and voted for her. The woman has proven she can sing. I know that this tv show isn’t about singing unless Blair’s future career move is to become a singer!
Miss Diana DeGarmo can most certainly act she has proven it time and time again in 2005 a musical called West Side Story (WSS). Playing the lead, Maria she definitely showed off her acting skills as well as her accent she gives off to the audience. Amazing.
Also no offense to the DeGarmo fans.. but at the time I honestly didn’t think she could pull that off. Thanks to my ex girlfriend who literally dragged me out the front door and into the car and got my ass to the San Jose theater id honestly thank her. (I was a typical all American male guy who was interested in sports, NO musicals). The whole time I sat down watching Diana DeGarmo in astonishment as she lit up the stage with her presence it was breathtaking. I was shocked and stunned at the same time! The second I got out of the theater I called my male friends and told them they must see WSS with Miss Diana she is spectacular! They of course in turn cursed me out! Saying I was a major gay theater freak – lame yes I know, but I got some of there asses up and saw the show again – incredible. I was just so blown away each time.
2006 Miss DeGarmo was in another musical called Hairspray which played in NYC. I was lucky enough to see it 3times. All three times it seemed like she got funnier. If that even is possible? She doesn’t fail to impress me every time. Her character Penny i
