Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford arrived last night at "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" - Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday. Here's our man ...

Chace's terrific character, Nate Archibald, did not appear on last night's Gossip Girl episode, "All About My Brother." But he was there in spirit ... or something like that. Do you like his look?

OMFG. Best Gossip Girl episode ever.

From beginning to end, "All About My Brother" was as good as it gets in terms of drama, scandal, catiness, backstabbing, love and all the other reasons we've grown obsessed with Gossip Girl.

The social war between Jenny and Blair is heating up, but the "gay bomb" is about to drop as a male character is outed - and Serena van der Woodsen's dark secret (or at least part of it) is finally revealed.

Follow the action right here in our episode guide!

Throughout the day, we'll be posting Gossip Girl quotes, photos, videos and music from "All About My Brother," so check back often.

And, at any time, feel free to talk about the episode and all things Gossip Girl related in the Insider's exclusive forum! Enjoy.

Tonight, Gossip Girl returns with its third new episode since the writers' strike, and 16th overall this season, "All About My Brother."

A number of secrets will be revealed tonight (we think) - a gay character and the secret Serena van der Woodsen has been hiding.

The Gossip Girl Insider staff has been busy compiling spoilers, videos and photos from what will surely be an exciting, drama-filled episode.

We will have a thorough recap (along with quotes, a music guide and our staff's Round Table discussion) up for you after the program. Enjoy!

What the heck is Serena's secret? What is the deal with Jenny's boyfriend? Will Blair triumph in her quest for social glory?

We'll find out tonight in "All About My Brother." Here are a few more videos from the episode. First, Serena thinks she's in the clear, but Georgina is making her move - on Dan - as Vanessa looks on...

Follow the jump for another clip from "All About My Brother," in which Dan gets protective of Jenny, saying Asher is coming on too strong...

Below are some pictures of the Gossip Girl cast filming in various New York City locations this week. So fun to see them at work. Here's a nice one of Blake Lively and Chace Crawford for starters...

Blake Lively (Serena) and Chace Crawford (Nate) out for a stroll.

Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge many more photos of the Gossip Girl cast. They seem to be quite busy filming new episodes, and looking pretty darn attractive and stylish doing it!

That's the word on the street - and in New York Magazine. Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl and actress Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore) have been seen out multiple times. Are they dating? We're not sure, but we're curious what you think of this couple ...

Does Chace Crawford have eyes for Rumer Willis?

The Gossip Girl cast - Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen and Leighton Meester - collectively made People magazine's Most Beautiful list. No argument here!

The beautiful and talented cast of Gossip Girl.

On-screen, they are gorgeous, scheming, back-stabbing high schoolers. Off-screen... oh who are we kidding, they are still gorgeous. But fortunately, they're somewhat kinder to one another.

"I assure you," Badgley says, "we are all fun and charming as hell."

This isn't a Gossip Girl spoiler in the true sense, as we don't fully know the answer. But we think we are getting closer to figuring out Serena's secret thanks to a new clip and a comment by one of our readers.

Calling attention to the promo clip for next Monday's episode, "All About My Brother," this Gossip Girl fan has an interesting theory as to just what the heck Serena and Georgina did.

Our guess: Nate. Or some other dude. What we're saying is that it looks like a Serena van der Woodsen (gulp) sex tape might exist.

Check out the clip below and see what you think.

Distressed, Serena is watching a video on her laptop, in which there appear to be female and male voices speaking her name, followed by moaning of some kind. Yeah. This looks scandalous ...

There's also the Gossip Girl spoiler about a gay character coming out, though we think we have a pretty good idea how that's going to go.

Please let us know your theories regarding Serena's secret. Follow the jump, too, for another (less juicy) clip from next Monday's episode ...

It's our favorite show no matter what, but just how realistic is Gossip Girl? The fun New York Magazine rating system attempts to answer this, taking into account the real and surreal moments from each episode.

According to the show's unofficial publication, this week's new episode, "Desperately Seeking Serena," rated even on the realism scale. Below are some excerpts from this New York Magazine feature ...

• They exclusively refer to Nelly Yuki by both of her names, even when addressing her to her face. In high school Asians are always two-namers. Plus 3.
• Ooh, new Sex and the City ad! Plus 1.
• Nelly Yuki likes Flo Rida? No, no, no. Minus 2.
• Nate Archibald's dad going into rehab was "on the front page of every newspaper in the city"?? We didn't get to see that in an episode? Robbed! Minus 2.
  
• We love how, on TV, people sit down for one drink and it always automatically cuts to them being drunk. Serena has one Cosmo and then we cut to her being a whore. Let's be honest, that's exactly how it happens in real life. Plus 2.
• Georgina drinks Cosmopolitans? She has her own COKE dealer. Crazyface is not drinking Cosmos. Minus 1.

• Serena van der Woodsen can never solve her own problems. She always calls Chuck, Dan, even Blair to help her out. So real. She's pretty. Other people fix things for her. Plus 2.
• Isabel made a joke about booking a flight to Tel Aviv in reference to going to study at Jenny's? Is that a joke about Kati fleeing the country? Or the Humphreys living in war-torn territory. Either way, not clear, and probably offensive. Minus 2.
• Nate did that thing all attractive boys do when they want to kiss you. All they have to do is get their face near yours, not even saying anything, and you have to kiss them. It's a law of nature. Plus 2. Another Plus 2 because nervous Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) is making wry commentary throughout the whole thing.
• Georgina finds Dan in the park (Minus 2, you can't randomly find someone in the park, and where the hell did that golden retriever come from). Another Minus 2 because Dan would clearly be too worried about Serena to flirt with someone else.

While we've been fixated on the two biggest Gossip Girl spoilers - who comes out of the closet, and Serena's secret - here's another we came across this morning.

An insider on the set of Gossip Girl reports that someone on the show overdoses in the second-to-the-last episode this season.

That would be the week after next. "All About My Brother" is the next Gossip Girl episode, set for May 5. "Woman On The Verge," scheduled for May 12, is the episode in question.

"Things go down, there's a lot of OMG moments," star Chace Crawford recently revealed on E!'s Daily 10. "It's good."

Which of these characters will suffer an overdose on Gossip Girl? Or will it be someone new? Got any ideas? Share them with the Insider!
