Gossip Girl Spoilers: Nate Gets a Cousin
The Gossip Girl producers will be expanding Chace Crawford's enviable gene pool in the form of a cousin for Nate, according to Entertainment Weekly today.
The yet-to-be-cast character will be in his 20s and is described as a wealthy, confident, politically-minded and - all together now - extremely good-looking guy.
But before you go fixing him up with Blair, Serena or anyone else on the Upper East Side, you should know that this cousin of Nathaniel Archibald is married.
You should also know that his name is Kip Vanderbilt.
But all signs are that Kip is not a descendant of New York's legendary Vanderbilt family, though. For starters, Kip's dad's name is William, not Cornelius.
Any casting suggestions for who should play Kip V. - or opinions on what this Gossip Girl casting news means for our favorite characters? Will Kip cause trouble for fair Nate Archibald? Will he have man-bangs too? Share your thoughts ...

I think it should be Ian Somerhalder, at least they both look kinda similar and I could believe that they are on-screen (even off-screen) relatives. lol. xoxo

Ok, Chace's man bangs are ridiculous. It's looking gay now. He needs to shear that off a bit.

okay...yeah your right cousins dont have to look a like...! chase as edward...i have to say i saw that too in my mind...i think everyone who has read twilight pictures edward differently...after seeing the movie however...rob was a great choice...stefanie did want henry cavill to play edward... getting back to GOSSIP GIRL...hes not a bad choice for nates cousin...but i agree with those who said jason lewis and josh duhammel...but im sorry those who said rob as nates cousin...i dont see it at all! hahaha wouldnt it be funny if it turned out to be rob! i hope though chase plays a vampire in new moon...they are looking for beautiful men...and well...chase...is just plain beautiful!

chace face::
umm, chase as edward? LMAOO, i love chase but that is a god awful idea. it kinda shows that you didn't read the books. have you even seen the movie? YOU may not find rob good looking, but not everyone likes the prissy, perfectly shaved, every-hair-in-place kinda guy.
