OMFG.

That's about all we can say after reading that, according to Entertainment Weekly, Gossip Girl's November 9 episode will feature three major characters having sex.

At the same time. In the same bed. Together.

Wow, The episode, titled "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They," will apparently feature a sordid tryst involving one of the following couplings ... er, threesomes ...

Chuck-Blair-Nate: Hey, it's already been rumored (falsely) that Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick are more than friends. Leighton Meester can watch, right?

Chuck-Blair-Josh: You’ll recall that Josh is the gay NYU alum Blair tricks Chuck into kissing later this month. In other words, this trio's already at first base!

Chuck-Blair-Dorota: Blair’s been on the lookout for a non-threatening third party to fulfill Chuck’s desires. The best part? She’ll happily clean up afterward!

Nate-Bree-Carter: One’s a Democrat. One’s a Republican. One’s ... Carter Baizen. Throw them all together, and voila, you’ve got a threesome. A sexy one.

You'd think anything this kinky has to involve Chuck ... but is that too obvious?

Serena-Carter-Georgina: Serena and Georgina’s dark past together probably included kinky stuff back in the day. Throwing Carter in there? Not a stretch.

Serena-Dan-Blair: A lot of people picked up on something between Dan and Blair in this season’s "The Freshmen." S and B do share most things in life ...

Vanessa-Dan-Olivia: It’s only a matter of time before Vanessa and Dan take their platonic friendship to the next level. Who better than Olivia to initiate?

Georgina-Dan-Olivia: Jealous Georgina roofies Dan and Olivia and then proceeding to have her way with both of them. Not hard to imagine at all, is it?

Rufus-Lily-Keith: MIA Keith van der Woodsen, father of Serena and Eric, returns with a bang. One that's almost certainly not going to happen, but hey.

Who do you think it is? Comment below!

Below are excerpts from the weekly New York Magazine plus-minus reality index of the previous night's episode of Gossip Girl, the greatest show of our time.

We've posted our official episode recap of "Dan de Fleurette." Now here are some highlights from NY Mag's completely arbitrary, uniquely hilarious analysis:

• We love the "Everybody Loves a Player" T-shirt on the RPG all-star at the coffee shop. Plus 3, because it's just so right.
• Okay, so Olivia Burke enrolls like three weeks after everyone else? Why? NYU probably wouldn't go for that, and even if it did, didn't she say she wanted a normal freshman experience? Minus 4.
• Of course Dan would willfully not know who the star of Eternal Nights was, even if she was a sexy starlet. Plus 2, with another Plus 4 for the name Eternal Nights, and its "King Arthur but with vampires" premise.
• Jonathan is at fencing camp in Torino? No way he'd get an extra month off of school before junior year. There are PSATs coming up, right? Minus only 1, because it's at least an appropriately gay sport.
• Rufus really does a great Lily impression. Plus 2, because he has to have something to practice when he's not knitting.

• Blair already had BW-monogrammed headbands ready? Plus 1.
• We're not ready for Chuck and Jenny to be so friendly and flirty at this stage. Yes, they're sort of related now, and yes, Chuck has changed. But the girl wouldn't simply forget an attempted date rape, even if it took place three seasons ago in a different borough. Minus 2.
• Tory Burch and Georgina Chapman are actually decent actors. Plus 2. The same cannot be said for Tyra Banks, who was basically terrifying. But that's kind of real in its own way. Plus 4.
• Vanessa: "I dated a guy who kept part of himself hidden. He never gave anyone a chance to accept him. And in the end, everyone lost." Minus 4 because THEY DATED FOR LIKE A WEEK.
• Hundred Acres is at least in the right part of town for Serena's plot. Plus 1.

Bree Buckley was in Texas during last night's episode, but she'll be back soon enough. The bad news for Nate Archibald? She's got an agenda.

Meanwhile, Jenny Humphrey will soon be getting a new boyfriend named Damien. Word has it that he could be a bad influence on her, as well.

Here's what E! Online has to say about both characters ...

Q: I really like Bree and Nate together on Gossip Girl this season. Please tell me that Joanna Garcia is sticking around for a while?!

A: Sorry, Bree's not exactly a paragon of sweetness and light. Her intentions might not be as pure as we've been led to believe. The redheaded Gossip Girl newcomer mostly just wants revenge on Carter, and she wants it bad.

Better luck next time, Nate.

Q: What's up with this new guy coming to Gossip Girl?

A: Damien (Kevin Zegers) is bad news. If you like raccoon-eyed Little J, you're in luck, because sources tell us Damien's going to bring Jenny "to a dark place."

Break out the mascara and eyeliner, J.

What do you make of this new guy in Jenny's life?

Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff weren't the only famous guest stars on Monday's episode of Gossip Girl – designer Tory Burch made a cameo as well.

“I have never acted before, so I was a little nervous about messing up my line," she said, adding that despite all her jitters, "Blake Lively made me laugh and put me at ease though, and the crew was so gracious.”

Though Tory’s scenes weren’t filmed in her actual office, the designer says that the set was a dead ringer: “They did an incredible job recreating my office, down to the books I have on my Lucite shelves and framed photos of my boys!”

While she didn’t get a chance to dress Gossip Girl’s leading ladies, Tory Burch has some ideas on what she would like to see Blake’s Serena van der Woodsen and Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf wear from her real fall collection.

Serena (Blake Lively) and Tory Burch on last night's Gossip Girl.

“Serena’s style is sophisticated yet rebellious,” says Tory. “I think she’d live in leather leggings, with an embellished top and oversized vest. It’s a cool, sexy look Serena could wear uptown, downtown, and everywhere in between.”

As for Blair Waldorf? “[She] has a quirky ladylike style and looks great in contrasting colors, prints and textures."

"The booties and leather driving gloves add just the right amount of edge. I would add a custom-made headband that would be cool enough - even for college.”

"Get Dan to dump the whore, or I'm going to tell the whole world Scott's secret."

In case there were any assumption that Georgina Sparks was done raising trouble for our favorite New Yorkers, the above quote, playing at the beginning of the CW's promo for next week's "Rufus Getting Married," put that to rest.

As Rufus and Lily prepare to make it official at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden (her second marriage in the show's three-season history), tension looms.

Will they learn that Scott is their child? Will they go through with the wedding? Check out the promo below and tell us what you think will go down ...

A new Gossip Girl airs in 12 hours. But because we know you love some spoilers, and because Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are so awesome and sent us an advance copy of the episode, we've got a few teasers for you now.

Here's what you can expect in "Dan de Fleurette" ...

• Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks' characters star in a movie called Fleur. The CW even set up a website for the faux film (screen shot below).
• This is only our opinion, but Hilary was actually pretty cool. As for Tyra? She's not a good actress, but you can laugh at her at least.
• Dan, Nate, Vanessa and Serena all have run-ins with Olivia Burke (Duff), but only D has no clue who she is. Always the last to know.
• Olivia, who's at NYU trying to live a normal college life, likes Dan because she can be herself around him. But when he does find out ...
• Lily is far from pleased that S isn't going to Brown. S gets a job (gasp!) to prove to L that she's not just deferring college to party. She ends up working with one of the Fleur stars, and actually comes through!

• Nate and Eric have only a few scenes but are both awesome.
• Scott appears in the episode only briefly, and you won't believe who he's about to meet up with at a restaurant in Boston.
• Jenny tries to issue a decree of egalitarianism at school. Freedom for all! This backfires as word gets back to Blair that the system of hierarchy she worked so hard to instill is being threatened by the new queen.
• Speaking of Blair, she is having a really hard time fitting in at NYU and resorts to extreme, semi-pathetic measures to feel like her old self. Luckily, by the end she's set straight and embarks on a new quest.
• While there is limited Chuck and Blair interaction, he does play a pivotal role in her story line, and the few scenes they have together will likely make you melt. Seriously. We're talking MAJOR swoon alert!

A Gossip Girl source confirms that Broadway vet Aaron Tveit is reprising his role as Nate’s wealthy cousin, Tripp Vanderbilt, in November for at least six episodes.

The politically minded Tripp will announce that he’s running for office (possibly the senate) and Nate will get involved with his campaign. Holley Fain, who portrayed Tripp’s fiancée, will also be returning for multiple episodes.

Tripp was mentioned in the season premiere by Nate's grandfather, who, in a bit of foreshadowing, called him about a way to potentially stick it to the Buckleys.

Tveit will juggle his Gossip Girl arc with his Broadway gig in Next to Normal.

In other Gossip Girl casting news, actress Sarah Steele (Spanglish) has been cast in a potentially recurring role of Kira Abernathy, a Constance Billard girl who tries to befriend queen bee Jenny. Her first episode airs November 9.

What do you make of the arrival of these guest stars new and old?
