(Just for reference, Lily said that to her mother. Ouch.)

Two of my favorite shows return to television within the next week (after many many weeks of hiatus) and I am soooo excited. Desperate Housewives returns this Sunday, April 19 and Gossip Girl returns Monday, April 20. Does everyone remember the cliff-hanger on Desperate Housewives? Does Edie die?! As for GG, I just really miss Blair. Be excited

Spotted. Two people who should know better and two people who don’t know what hit them.

[This week's episode of Gossip Girl was just great. The love-square was expected yet it was exciting still. New episodes return April 20.]

I’ve realized that while we can’t tear out a single page of our life, we can throw the whole book in the fire.

(This week’s GG was intense.)

I’m about to talk about Gossip Girl.  Spoilers ahead. Catch up already.

This week’s episode of Gossip Girl had to be one of the ones to watch this season. That ending? That music? It was all so… Okay the only episode I can think of right now is that season 1 episode when”Apologize” plays at the end and Nate and Blair are about to…you know (Chuck on the outside…again? I actually do feel bad). I just loved the tone of the entire episode. The tone. Seriously thought it was a great episode from beginning to end. Poor Chuck..and Blair…and Nate..and oh what about Vanessa… I liked how Serena had Blair’s back…that’s always fun. As for Rufus and Lilly, come on now, a list of partners? Pfff. Next week’s episode looks like crap…besides the whole Chuck/Blair/Nate thing…again…but yet so different.

You know you love her.

Don’t forget to watch tonight’s all-new Gossip Girl.

Its often said that no matter the truth people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lives have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people, the ones who run as far as they can so they don’t have to look at themselves. And as for me, I can see clearly now.

Here’s the entire cast of Gossip Girl in an upcoming RollingStone. All cute. Some just plain raunchy. Oh Leighton.

Thanks JustJared for the update!

I am about to talk about this week’s Gossip Girl. Warning: Spoilers ahead. You have been warned!

Let’s talk about last night’s Gossip Girl. I know Blair kind of plays a “bad guy” on this show, but please tell me I am not the only one who feels bad for her? Poor girl is finally realizing that you can’t blackmail/manipulate to get everything you want. It’s sad because she basically did all this for the one thing she can’t have now (Yale). I’m sure she’ll be a trooper though and whatever’s best will ultimately happen. It better. Is Yale officially out of the question?

As for Chuck… same situation as Blair… sort of a “bad guy” but you feel bad for him. It really just seems like he’s looking to love and be loved. That “club” his dad was in…a little creepy but I’m curious. I’m also very excited about the possibility of Blair and Chuck getting back together (were they ever “officially” together for more than like a few days? end of last season when Chuck abandoned Blair?). I do smell a Blair/Nate hookup on the horizon…Who will it be?

Speaking of Nate. I really like him and Vanessa together. Other than some poor mis-communication (which is essential to a show like Gossip Girl), they seem to be doing well. About that Blair/Nate hookup that may come…Drama.

As for everyone else..That new teacher is a little hypocrite..way to tattle to Gossip Girl about everyone you little skank…Dan and Serena = useless. Jenny…I’m sure will get a story line again…Rufus...pfff. And where was the ever so beautiful Lilly Bass? Looking forward to next week.

Three consecutive episodes of Gossip Girl start tonight! Finally. Yes you should be very excited. Here’s the schedule for the next 5 new episodes.

“The Age of Dissonance”

Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl) has just signed on to be in the movie, The Roommate. It’s something about college. This is pretty fresh. Not only this and Gossip Girl, but she may also appear in a movie opposite Zac Efron. A modern day Beauty and the Beast deal called Beastly. I’d watch it. This all has to happen around Gossip Girl shootings. Should be fun. Looking forward to more work from this girl. Hokai!

There’s a weak link in every chain. And it’s just a matter of time before this one snaps.

Here’s something to make you love Leighton Meester (plays Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl). I chose some of my favorite questions and answers. I really love her outlook on life. I totally see eye to eye. Enjoy and make sure you check out the March 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine for more! BTW, doesn’t she look gorgeous/so cute?

How open were your parents with you about their past?
It wasn’t like a topic of conversation usually–but I was aware of it. There was never any reason to feel ashamed of it or be secretive–I never thought it was that crazy. But half of what people know, they can’t understand because they don’t know the circumstances. My mom’s such an incredible woman–she’s gone through a lot. And all of this has made us the type of people who appreciate what we have. It’s made our family pretty strong.

What do you think you’ve learned from your parents’ mistakes?
It made me realize that you can’t judge anyone–especially your parents–for what they’ve done in their past, because people change. I’ve noticed some people get very enthralled with people bashing. Sometimes people can’t help themselves. But I find a way to back out and not talk about other people. Even when people are so judgemental about what you wear or your weight, you just have to step away and be like, I’m a normal, fine human being.

Did you ever get a little wild in high school?
No. I mean, there were drugs and stuff, but everybody who I was friends with didn’t do it, so I wasn’t even around it. High school was me being a dork and studying. I only went there until my junior year–then I just dropped out and didn’t go back for my last year. But I had already gotten my diploma.

Why didn’t you finish high school?
I was very passionate about pursuing my acting career, as opposed to the daily routine of high school, which bored me to death. It was a chore–I wasn’t in any after-school clubs. The only thing I did after school was go to auditions.

Who’s the leader of your castmates?
We’re all very close. I guess Blake would be more of the planner. She’s very maternal. I’ll just go where the other guys are going–I just go with the flow.

Do you have a big group of friends?
I have a very small group of friends. I don’t want to have a friend unless I can call them one of my best friends. I want somebody to be really close and cool. I want friends who are kind of like me, who go with the flow and like to have fun. I think it’s important to trust your friends. It’s especially hard in this business when you know that people are not always who they seem.

Are you the kind of person who always has a boyfriend?
I haven’t ever really relied on relationships with guys. I’ve only ever really been with a couple of them. They come around and it’s cool, but it’s never been a big thing. I guess I’ve just been really distracted by work.

Have you ever had your heart broken?
Definitely. But a lot of times, you’re breaking your own heart. I think women have a sense about things–it’s like when I’ve ever been with somebody who lied to me. There comes a point when you’re lying to yourself [by staying with a guy like that]. It’s not like he’s going to stop. But all of this has made me grow up in the way that I look at guys and love. It made me realize what kind of person I am. Now I have certain requirements.

What are your requirements?
I need to live my life. I want to experience a lot and don’t want to have to be tied down. If somebody can join me on that, then that’s great. But I want to do so many things–and maybe someday a lot of it will be impossible, but right now I don’t see the impossible.

Too bad no one told him: you can’t save a damsel if she loves her distress.
