Ooh la la: another day at the TCA wrapped with a special panel on Gossip Girl, where we were treated to the first trailer from season four—on location in Paris! Ed Westwick was the lone cast member on the panel, along with creator Josh Schwartz and producer Stephanie Schwartz. Today we learned what it was like to film overseas, when Jenny will make her triumphant return and more.
First, let's talk about the new trailer. I'm sure you'll all see it in a matter of days but here's a sneak peek: we see Blair and Serena touring Paris, Serena taking off on the back of a motorcycle and ultimately, Blair throwing Serena in a fountain. We also see Dan with a baby (not sure if it's his baby just yet) and Nate surrounded by a harem of scantily clad ladies. It all leads up to the big moment when Chuck and Blair come face to face again in the city of lights.
Josh Schwartz said the Chuck and Blair meeting will have "explosive consequences" and that the happenings in Paris will echo throughout the whole season for all of the characters.
If you were worried about Little J, rest assured she will make a return. The producers kept mum on when exactly she'll resurface but they did promise that it will be in the first half of the season.
For more from the panel, including details on Katie Cassidy's character and Chuck's new love interest, just keep reading!
After a full day at the TCA panels, the stars of CBS, CW and Showtime stepped out for their star-studded bash. Ed Westwick represented the Gossip Girl cast and the stars of 90210 took a break from their busy Summers to attend as well. AnnaLynne McCord has had a great few months of travelling with her boyfriend Kellan Lutz, but it turns out that Eclipse wasn't her favourite blockbuster of the season—it's a tie between Inception and Iron Man 2 because of their two amazing lead actors! Jerry O'Connell, meanwhile, took a break from promoting The Defenders to gush about his life with the twins and wife, Rebecca Romijn. He says that being a dad of girls is the only way to go! David Duchovny and Ashley Tisdale also turned out for the celebration, and he's busy today with a panel for Californication, as she chats up her new show Hellcats. <
Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick flew in last week to give us a dose of hotness during the cold snap and True Blood hunk Ryan Kwanten is jetting in this week to keep things sizzling. The former Home and Away star is being flown in by Telstra to launch its new home entertainment technology called T-Box. The third season of True Blood just debuted in the US and hits our screens on August 19. Ryan has recently jumped onto the technology bandwagon by simultaneously launching a Facebook page, Twitter account and website. In addition to becoming tech savvy, he’s also reportedly writing a self-help book/sex guide. Ryan will be the special guest at a cocktail party in Dawes Point tomorrow night and Operator Please will also be performing at the event.
It’s Day Four of Westwick Watch and yesterday Ed was all over Sydney. He was groped by Jackie O during the Today FM morning show, attended a little lunch soiree with journos at The Ivy penthouse and he even managed to go on a jet boat ride around Sydney Harbour. Ed then headed over to the Pitt Street Virgin Mobile store to meet his fans. The event was supposed to start at 5:00pm, but fans queued up hours ahead of time and police were called in to control the mob scene. Bella’s future husband Ed gave us the scoop on his single status earlier this week and he’s certainly been a huge hit with Australian fans. He flies to Melbourne today for an appearance on The 7pm Projectand then jets back to England tonight. We miss him already!
