Jeffrey Tambor, aka
Arrested Development's beloved George Bluth, is the
latest star to sign up for a
guest stint on the HBO comedy
Entourage. Tambor joins
Sopranos star
Jaime-Lynn Sigler and
Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester on the guest star roster for
Entourage's fifth season, premiering in September.
While both Sigler and Meester are set to play possible love interests for everyone's favorite semi-successful actor Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier), Tambor will be throwing a wrench into their plans for love when Vince suddenly discovers his propensity for older bald dudes. Okay, that's not true at all. Fact is, there's no word on what role Tambor will be playing, or if he'll be playing himself. Regardless, it's Jeffrey Tambor, so it will be awesome.
Since producers probably won't use my love interest idea (although I am totally copyrighting that right now, just in case) what are your opinions on Tambor's role? Should he be a studio exec? Mentor? Rival for Jaime-Lynn Sigler's affection? Post your thoughts in the comments below.

(S01E18) That's it.
Gossip Girl is done for the 2007-2008 season.
The show's season finale left me on my appetite. It didn't end with a huge bang, it didn't left me with tons of questions I wanted answered now, it didn't make me want to rush to the water cooler to chat about it with my friends. Actually, it made me wish that the series had concluded its first season with "
All About My Brother," an episode that ended with a huge bang and would have served as a better season finale.

(S01E17) "We're here to help Serena no matter what the problem is." - BlairAfter a "wow"
episode last week, expectations (at least mine) for this week were pretty high. I had loads of questions about the video and hoped that answers would be giving in "Woman on the Verge." The episode definitely met my expectations and set the scene for what could be an action and drama packed season finale next week.
What I liked most about this week's episode is the "no matter what" friendship seen between Chuck, Nate, Blair and Serena. They were able to put their problems aside and work together. As the saying says, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." The quartet definitely proved that saying this week.

Word on the Upper East Side streets is that evildoer Georgina Sparks will elect residence in NYC permanently next fall.
According to E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos,
Michelle Trachtenberg's mutli-episode arc stint will become a regular one when
Gossip Girl returns for its
second season.
Trachtenberg has gotten fair reviews about her portrayal of bad teen Georgine Sparks so far, and her addition to the cast did create some, err, sparks! The character is there to generate some waves and is not worried about hurting people along the way (see "
All About My Brother" if you need proof). So what will this permanent addition mean for the show? More drama? More secrets? More backstabbing? Serena going back to her evil ways for good? No matter the answer, you can bet that Sparks will see her name in print on the
Gossip Girl blog more than once.
Kristin Dos Santos also says that the show will have a second season of 24 episodes and that the first few episodes back will see the characters on vacation in the Hamptons.

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester is heading to Los Angeles. According to E!, the actress is set to reprise her guest-starring role on Entourage. Back in season one, Meester played pop singer Justine Chapin in the episodes "The Review" and "Date Night." The character was modeled after a pre-tailspin Britney Spears--a self-professed virgin who happened to have a thing for Vince (Adrian Grenier).
Meester will appear in at least one episode in the first half of the season. Production of season five of Entourage began in April, with a premiere set for September. The show was supposed to return in June, but was delayed by the writers' strike.

(S01E15) "I made one mistake. It doesn't mean I need a human ankle monitor." - Jenny Back in early February, I told you
what I thought of Gossip Girl so far. Starting this week, I'll review
GG on a weekly basis. What an episode to start reviews with! Since I've never read the books the series is based on, I had no idea who Georgina Sparks was but I had a hunch that she was not daddy's little girl. I didn't expect her to be so twisted and evil.

The CW recently released
risqué campaign posters to get new viewers to tune in to its show
Gossip Girl. The campaign, titled "OMFG," got fans and the press talking as soon as the sexy posters hit the web and magazines. Two posters were released: the one you see on the right featuring characters Serena and Nate, and another one with Blair and Chuck. Also, a "OMG" version of both posters was used.
This week, the Parents Television Council (PTC) took notice of the ads and declared war against The CW.

At the end of March, gossip columnist
Michael Ausiello from
TV Guide reported that a male character on The CW's
Gossip Girl would come out of the closet and that this revelation would significantly impact the lives of the other characters.
Since then, fans of the series have been speculating about who could that character be. Fans of the books will recall that Chuck is presumed gay and that Dan questions his sexuality. However, neither are the person Ausiello was referring to (note that there are no plans to have Dan go down that path on the TV series at this point). Want to know who it is?
Spoilers coming up!Continue reading And the gay character on Gossip Girl is...

It's that time of the year again. Time to put away the bathing suits, winterize the boats, and start thinking about getting the big coats out of the back of the closets, at least up here in the Jet City. While it will be sad to see those long summer days fade into fall, the silver lining is a truckload of new and returning shows, all set to debut.
One of the first out of the gate is
Gossip Girl, which premieres next Wednesday at 9 on The CW. They were nice enough to send a copy of the pilot over to TV Squad HQ, and I couldn't resist the possibility of a good teen drama, so here is an early look at what the fifth network has cooking.
