Welcome to Gossip Girl Insider - the Internet's #1 Gossip Girl fan site - and the 14th edition of our fun, traditional Friday Caption Contest!

This week's winner is blake-lover. Nice work! Scroll down for the full list of entries we received. The winning entry appears under the photo!

(all, thinking...)
Eric: Man that photographer is hot.
Serena: Man this dress sucks... my boobs are showing.
Lily: Man i loved that grudge sex...
Bart: I'm gonna get it onnn tonight!
Chuck: I'm Chuck Bass?

The girl is a tad pretty. Blake Lively showed off her amazing legs and ... well, every other feature outside of New York City's Ed Sullivan Theater, where she taped a segment for The Late Show with David Letterman Thursday.

Once we track down a clip of her interview we'll post it for you! In the meantime, just admire the photos ... a difficult request, we understand.

The actress and the rest of the Gossip Girl crew return to the CW with the show's season premiere, "Summer Kind of Wonderful," on Monday!

UPDATE: Here's the video of Blake's interview. Thanks D!

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is always fashionable - and smiling, it seems.

The actress certainly was in good spirits as she rocked an ikat shirt and Rich & Skinny jeans while filming in Brooklyn on her 21st birthday!

Blake Lively certainly lives up to her name in this outfit!

So says Madchen Amick.

The actress, who plays Nate Archibald’s mature, beautiful love interest on Gossip Girl, makes out with the handsome 23-year-old - and certainly causes plenty of drama in Monday's season premiere, "Summer Kind of Wonderful."

Luckily, she’s not above kissing and telling.

“Chace is a very good kisser,” Amick, 37, says. “If anyone gets the opportunity to kiss him ... he will not disappoint.”

It appears not, at least from the make-out scene in question.

The Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl catches up with Nate and pals Serena (Blake Lively), Blair (Leighton Meester), Chuck (Ed Westwick), Dan (Penn Badgley) and Jenny (Taylor Momsen), at the end of the summer.

“[Nate] has been keeping busy having an affair with an older married woman,” Amick explains. “Things continue [with Nate], but she gets very intertwined with the other characters and there’s a lot that I’m not supposed to say.”

However, of her story arc, which she says will last four episodes, Madchen Amick will say that “she causes a lot of trouble.”

The actress, who has two teenagers, says her kids got to visit her on the set, but she didn’t let them watch her maul Crawford.

Chuck Bass or Nate Archibald? The incomparable Miss Blair Waldorf had romantic entanglements with both in Season One of Gossip Girl. But which handsome prep schooler do you think she belongs with? Tell us in the poll below ...

Yesterday, we told you how to emulate the gorgeous hairstyle of Gossip Girl starlet Blake Lively. Today, we're taking a look at the hair of another cast member - Taylor Momsen - and some of the variations she's shown of late.

Gossip Girl's "It Girl" and youngest actress (she's 15!) went from pretty to punk for the show's second-season premiere party in N.Y.C., swapping soft curls and subdued liner for stick-straight hair and sparkling shadow...

Which hairstyle looks best on Taylor Momsen?

The much buzzed-about Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl is less than a week away - Monday, September 1 at 8 p.m. EST.

For some of us, it feels like it never left.

The gang is all over New York shooting, and we've covered it for you with extensive Gossip Girl spoilers and photos all summer long.

Now it's time to let the show speak for itself.

For one, Ed Westwick, who plays bad boy Chuck Bass, told MTV that he's happy to be back at work, with new episodes airing soon.

"It's been great," Westwick said. "It's been intense, and we're very excited to get back on the air and get back out there."

"When you're working on it, and you're on the inside of it, you don't find yourself getting caught up in the buzz," Westwick added. "But we are aware of it, and it's fantastic. It makes us feel our work is a success."

Reading Michael Ausiello's column today in Entertainment Weekly, we came across this interesting Gossip Girl spoiler we thought we'd share ...

Q: Any Gossip Girl gossip?

A: Team Schwavage (Josh Schwartz-Stephanie Savage) is going to unveil a new lust interest for Serena van der Woodsen, and I hear he's loosely based on a dude named Aaron Rose from the Gossip Girl books. Don't read? Me neither! Thank God for Wikipedia, which describes Aaron as the "herb cigarette-smoking and vegan step-brother of Blair Waldorf and son of Cyrus Rose. He drives a red Saab, and had an un-requited crush on his stepsister, Blair. Later on he dated both Serena and Vanessa, and was accepted to Harvard University."

Interesting! While we doubt that Serena's love interest will be connected to Blair in this fashion in the TV series, it will be interesting to watch if he's at all like his book character. What does everyone else think?

Will Serena be romanced by a new man this season?

Below is a clip of the first few minutes of the upcoming Season 2 premiere of Gossip Girl, "Summer Kind of Wonderful," preceded by a recap of some of the most critical moments and things you may have missed in Season 1.

Which you don't really need, if you're reading our site, since you're obsessed and obviously saw all of Season 1. But it's still cool. Anyway, here goes ...

Season 2 of Gossip Girl premieres Monday at 8!

A few Gossip Girl spoilers courtesy of E! Online ...

Q: Loving the scoop on season two of Gossip Girl, but what is going on with Vanessa and Jenny? Clearly they are not chilling in the Hamptons!?

A: Jenny has been an intern for Blair's mom, Eleanor, and is clearly moving on up because she'll even make a surprise appearance at the infamous White Party (as discussed in full detail in Gossip Girl Insider's official recap of "Summer Kind of Wonderful"). As for Vanessa, a new, scandalous romance brewing, and a lot of people don't like it one bit. (Hint: older man.)

Q: What's going on with those hot boys on Gossip Girl?

A: Nate is still in financial trouble (thanks, Daddy!), but he gets a loan from a new friend to help cover the difference. And Chuck... well, Chuck will make you squeal like a 13-year-old girl (especially if you are a 13-year-old girl) when he gets close enough to a certain Upper East Side lady to swap spit with her. Yes, Chuck Bass is kissing someone, and we think you'll very much like who!
