Fans certainly aren't going to like this breaking piece of CW scheduling news, but Gossip Girl is poised to take a six-week hiatus beginning January 18.

The reason: The premiere of Life UneXpected on the network. The new show will be airing its first season (only six episodes) in Gossip Girl's time slot.

Of course, while six weeks without our show always stinks, it is worth noting that this does not in any way shorten Season 3. When Gossip Girl returns in March, it will run 11 (or 12) consecutive Mondays until the season finale.

By our calculations, and according to our sources, this leaves four more episodes before the hiatus the show is taking from January 18 until March:

• Next week's "The Last Days of Disco Stick" (3.10)
• An as-yet untitled episode November 30 (3.11)
• "The Debarted," January 4 (3.12)
• "Jenny, Full of Grace," January 11 (3.13)

Note that this is all subject to change and not 100 percent confirmed. The episode air dates, that is. The hiatus has definitely been confirmed.

Ed Westwick (Chuck) and Robert John Burke, who plays Chuck Bass' late father, Bart Bass, were seen on the set yesterday. Guess this clears up any doubt about Bart's return - except for the circumstances in which it happens.

We know that it's not a flashback, and that Bart, who died almost a year ago now in the middle of Season 2, is really dead. A Christmas Carol reunion of sorts seems like the most logical explanation. Tell us what you think!

Monday night's Gossip Girl featured a number of intriguing plots, ones that may have even made the much-touted threesome tame and obvious-seeming.

Okay, it was still hot, but brief, and clear from the start where it was headed. Whether Jenny would prevail, or whether Serena and Tripp would hook up?

Those were left in doubt until the very end, and are still primarily unresolved. Click here for our episode guide to "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, who as we know is an aspiring singer as well as a terrific young actress, has released her official music video for "Somebody to Love" (teased during last week's episode) featuring Robin Thicke.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is featured in the new issue of Marie Claire this month, and needless to say, the 22-year-old looks stunning as always.

Below are some excerpts and photos from Blake's interview ...

On acting: "As a character, I get to be this wild, outgoing person that I’m so not. It comes from being the youngest of five. I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to to be helpful as an actress."

On Gossip Girl fashion and expression: "Living in New York, I feel stronger and more like a woman than ever before. In high school, it was like, what power do I have - I have long blonde hair, you know? But working as hard as I do now, I feel a sense of power and respect, too.

I’ve learned an incredible amount about fashion on Gossip Girl. For me, clothes are a personal expression, and my style is as ever-changing as I am: I’m at a point when I am growing, maturing, developing, I’m going through new things in my life, and with that, what I choose to wear changes."

On being a Southern girl at heart: "I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there. I have a tight-knit Southern family, so whenever I tell people I’m from L.A., they say, 'Yeah but you don’t count.'

I guess it's because of the Southern values I was raised with, and the way I eat - the more sugary and cheesy and fried, the better.

On her early school daze: "When I was only 3 years old, my mom enrolled me in the first grade. My older brother was supposed to start school, but he didn’t want to go alone, so my mom told them I was 6 since I was so tall. But after a few weeks, they said they would have to put me in mentally disabled classes because I wasn’t up to pace with the rest of the kids.

They thought that I was slow because all I wanted to do was sleep while the other kids were doing their projects. [laughs] So my mom took me out of school.”

So far, the Gossip Girl cast has provided only vague details about what fans should expect from Lady Gaga's appearance on the show November 16.

But Gaga herself recently opened up to MTV about why she agreed to do it.

"First of all, my sister's a huge fan, and she's 17 years old. So when I called her and said Gossip Girl wants to put my new album on the show and have me perform, she was like 'Oh my God, you have to do it,'" she said.

"And I'd seen it. It's a great show."

Of course, Lady Gaga had no interest in a stereotypically awkward musical guest cameo. She wanted it done in typical Lady Gaga fashion.

"I hate most TV show performances, because they kind of come in out of nowhere, and everyone's, like, really into the story line, and then all of a sudden somebody breaks into song," she said. "It has nothing to do with the story."

Lady Gaga made sure her Gossip Girl appearance was unique.

So rather than showing up on the set for the day, Gaga met with writers and producers to ensure she was doing a performance she felt good about.

"I really sat down with the Gossip Girl writers," she said.

"I was like, 'Look, the reason I want to do this is because I'm trying to say something that is not mainstream. So, if I can say it on your show, that would be, like, a real coup d'état for me as a performance artist.'"

The result sounds like an elaborate music video.

"I am the narrator behind what is going on with the characters and make the song part of the moment," she said of her "crazy performance-art piece."

"We used these ladders. Ladders are kind of a monster symbol about bad luck. And I have this 35-foot-long dress on and these X's, very gothic-inspired."

"It was great. They let me do whatever the hell I wanted. It was amazing."

What's the best complement to the season's super-bold lash look? Decidedly pretty, sweet rosy lips, as seen on Blake Lively at a benefit hosted by Chanel.

Makeup artist Angela Levin, who created the look, tells Us Weekly she wanted something to match the stunning simplicity of the star’s diamond brooch.

She thus opted for dark, sexy eyes, but the rest of her face light and fresh.

To get the look, Angela said she lined the Gossip Girl actress' upper and lower lashes with shimmering black liner and stroked on three coats of mascara.

She then created the perfect pink shade for lips by blending two shades - first, a nude shade, followed by a slightly darker one to get the perfect pink hue.

The result? A gorgeous Blake Lively ....

Gossip Girl stars Ed Westwick (Chuck) and Leighton Meester (Blair) paid a visit to a homeless shelter for an upcoming scene for the hit show on Friday.

Whatever the purpose of their visit, the two looked classically handsome and beautiful as always. Gaze upon the unparalleled beauty that is Chair ...

What does the rest of the season hold for Chair?
