Lucky Penn Badgley, he gets to celebrate Halloween AND his birthday at the same time! Saturday night, Svedka Vodka presented the second event in their Adult Playground 2033 Series at 1 OAK. Blake Lively was sleek and stunning in her flight attendant costume and Michelle Trachtenbergdeserved at least a double take in her elaborate Marie Antoinette ensemble.
Uh, did she pull the “plunging V-Neck” off the floor of a GAY man’s bedroom? Which popular New York television actor has very specific ideas about Women’s Fashion? Click below to find out…More »
Sometimes it seems like you can divide downtown bars into two categories: those that thrive on celebrities and those that shun them. The trendy spots are pretty obvious, although in constant flux. The Box, Beatrice Inn and Jane Ballroom are all recent Page 6 magnets. But what happens when the Botox-and-Restylane set leaves its comfort zone and mingles with the proles? More »
When Chace Crawford has a good night, looks-wise, it’s sort of unfair to humanity. And last night at the premiere of Penn Badgley’s new movie, The Stepfather, Chace was having a very, VERY good night. Like, possibly the best he’s ever looked. Also in attendance were Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, Matthew Settle, Connor Paolo, and Jessica Szohr (also looking even prettier than usual. Which, again, is not fair, because if anyone deserves to have a night where they look prettier than usual it shouldn’t be a cast member of Gossip Girl.) Suspiciously missing? Penn’s girlfriend Blake Lively. Instead, the blonde at Penn’s side was co-star Amber Heard. More »

Conversations will soon turn on to the U.S. Open. The arrival of tennis stars has been more of a bang than a whimper in New York. Serena Williams glowed at the unveiling event for her wax figure at Madame Tussauds on August 27, 2009. Later that day she and Roger Federer attended the 2009 US Open Draw Presentation at the New York Times Center. Tennis champion Rafael Nadel was out and about as well enjoying good times with Olympic Medalist Fencer Tim Morehouse. And what are they up to tonight? More story… More »
[Hilary Duff, Penn Badgley]. You might have noticed that we have a Gossip Girl of our own, telling us when Constance Billard’s best are on the streets. Well they’re back at it, filming the next installment following some Gramercy happenings. Hilary Duff is on set again, telling us that she’s more than making a quick appearance on this season. It’s time to place bets: Dan’s love interest? Just friends (when does that ever happen)? A non-romantic character, like a new girl? Transfers are always a mysterious plot twist. Well we’re curious to see, and fortunately the wait is not too long. With the premiere on September 14th (check out the very Hamptons-y poster, below), soon the college bound crew will return to our DVR list. We’ve missed them. More »
