(S03E10) "Vanessa, you are in love with Dan." - Olivia
Last week's threesome scenes left a few viewers wanting more. This week, viewers were not only treated to more footage from the threesome scenes, but to a lot of drama caused by said Olivia-Dan-Vanessa threesome experiment. As expected, the threesome made Dan and Vanessa's feelings for one another resurface, even if they didn't clearly admit it or deny it.
The episode also featured a guest performance by singer Lady Gaga (pictured above in a behind the scenes photo with Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester).

(S03E09) "Nobody puts Jenny in a corner." - Gossip Girl
Even if this was Jenny's episode, the much talked about threesome scenes stole the show.
The Parents Television Council (PTC) tried to get the network not to air this week's episode of
Gossip Girl due to the threesome scene it included. In a letter sent out to the network, the PTC claims The CW's decision to air the episode is "reckless and irresponsible." In the same letter, they mention that by airing this scene, the network is, in a way, letting young kids know that they should take part in such sexual behaviors.

(S03E08) "Bla
ir and Serena at war again? Yummy!" - Gossip Girl
I disagree with Gossip Girl on this. Blair and Serena at war again? Same old. Same old. Once again, Blair and Serena are at odds while wanting to be friends. Can we move on?
I'm tired of Blair and Serena breaking up, making up, fighting, backstabbing one another, not understanding one another, etc. I hope the writers planned for the duo to not cross paths for a few episodes so we can get some quiet time before they fight some more and then make up.

(S03E07) "Time to get to work ruling the Kingdom." - Jenny
It was only a matter of time before Jenny started acting like a real Queen Bee. Mind you, even after this week's events, Jenny is still nowhere near as evil as Blair was, but she is definitely not Little J anymore.
While Jenny ruled her kingdom, Chuck tried to do the same with the launch of his new club. He wanted to launch his club honestly and by himself. As expected, things didn't go as planned, but that doesn't mean he isn't happy with the end product, eh?

(S03E06) "What are friends for?" - Vanessa to Dan
Thanks to
Gossip Girl,
Firefly's Gina Torres is back on TV! It was about time that this fantastic actress returned to the small screen. Torres plays Vanessa's mother, Gabriela, and is set to appear in a few episodes. This new character finally allowed the viewers to know more about Vanessa, who's been a background character/sidekick for the past seasons.
As it was posted here before, I wasn't able to watch the episode live but allowed you to post your comments in a temp post. Here we go with my review, which includes some of the comments you left.

(S03E05) "Ah the Wedding March.... here comes the awkward pause." - Gossip GirlAs you can see from the picture above, Sonic Youth appeared on this very special episode of
Gossip Girl, spoiled by the official episode title, and performed their 1986 single "
Star Power."
As expected, Rufus and Lily hit a few bumps in the road before making the episode title come true. The episode also featured the return of Georgina, Scott, and Bree, which equals to blackmail, lies and drama. Three words that work very well in the world of Gossip Girl.

(S03E04) "How can I rule over people I don't understand?" - BlairThe main storyline this week on
Gossip Girl may have been the introduction of Hilary Duff's character Olivia "Kate" Burke, a movie star who comes to NYU in the hopes to get a normal college experience, but I much preferred Blair's storyline.
Blair is still at the bottom of the food chain at NYU and doesn't know how to get Queen B status amongst people she doesn't know. Thanks to Blair spiraling down to Constance to bring order back, and to a very clever plan mastered by Chuck to bring his girlfriend back to reality, we were treated to interesting scenes, including one that had Dorotea speaking her mind to Blair!

Not the TV character from several years back. Actress Hilary Duff. She has
just signed a one year deal with NBC to star in a new series.
Duff has been concentrating on movies and music since
Lizzie McGuire ended in 2004 (the show lasted four years, but it was actually only two seasons, plus a big screen movie). According to
Variety, Duff was going to be in a series for CBS in 2004, but it wasn't picked up.
As part of the deal, Duff is going to guest star in several NBC shows, as well, maybe as a tune up for starring in her own show and promotion for herself and the show. I wonder how they'll pick which shows she'll guest star in? After the jump, some suggestions.

The
Beverly Hills 90210 spin off was looking for an actress in her 60's who could play an actress and alcoholic. Who better for the role than
Arrested Development's Jessica Walter? After all, she is an actress and her
AD role of Lucille Bluth required that she pretends to be drinking/drunk in a lot of episodes!
TV Guide and
Entertainment Weekly confirmed earlier today that the actress was cast in the lead role of
Tabitha Mills, an actress who had her career prime in the 70s and who is now best friends with a liquor bottle. Worried about his mother's well-being, her son Harry moves his family to Beverly Hills. Continue reading Jessica Walter joins the 90210 cast

Hilary Duff is the new Patrick Stewart. By that, I mean it's
rumored that she is going to be the star of
Beverly Hills 90210, the Next Generation (Please note this is not the actual title. Just my take on it).
Apparently, she's been approached by the CW for the role of Annie Mills, a high school girl into theater, boys, cars, iPods, cosmetic surgery, ostracizing her friends and all the other standard things that Beverly Hills girls are into. There is no word yet on whether she's accepted the role.

I would put this in the "What the f***?" category.
Tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC is a repeat...from this past Tuesday. That's right, they're dipping waaaay back into the archives, because fans have been asking for it. The guests are/were Hilary Swank, Hilary Duff, and Dancing with the Stars castoff Shandi Finnessey.
Now, OK, I understand that the show probably has to be a repeat, because Kimmel is sitting in for Larry King tonight on CNN at 9 (though I wonder if it's live or taped or what's going on with that), but do they have to air a repeat from three nights ago? Seriously, that's just bizarre to me.
It's keeping with what all the late night shows do now, from Letterman to Carson Daly. When they show repeats they're always fairly recent. But they're usually from 2, 4, 6 weeks ago, not 3 days.

The Disney Channel has picked up two new
pilots,
The Amazing Hannigans and
Housebroken.
Hannigans will be about wizarding family-run
magic shop (jumping on the Harry Potter bandwagon a little late there). Housebroken will be a spin-off of the hit show
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, also known as one of the most irritating shows in Disney history (placing
somewhere near
Lizzie McGuire). It will be about the Tipton Hotel's handyman, Arwin, and his adventures in
helping his sister take care of her kids. So, I guess that means it'll be like
The Suite Life if Arwin was the
uncle of Zack and Cody... and didn't want to date their mom.
