Chris Riggi News

You gotta hand it to TMZ. One day after their hilarious Taylor Momsen look-alike, the celeb gossip site may have one-upped its own absurdity with this one.

Check out Rufus-Lily spawn Scott (Chris Riggi) at The Stepfather premiere in NYC Monday, and living Broadway legend Liza Minnelli at an event last month.

Liza actually made it into our library of Gossip Girl quotes this season when Chuck told B "the only queens at NYU are the ones with tickets to see Liza."

Awesome. But not as much as these two having the same hair ...

Who's better looking?

Below are four more cast interviews with the stars of Gossip Girl, who give us all the latest dish on their characters as we gear up for an exciting third season.

We previously heard from Ed, Jessica, Taylor and Penn. Now here's Connor Paolo with some insight as to what we can expect from Eric van der Woodsen ...

Remember the scene we showed you photos from yesterday, showing Lily and Rufus apparently having a genuine, joyous reunion with long-lost son Scott?

Or is Scott (Chris Riggi) actually a lying weasel trying to come between Rufus and Lily (Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford) and make off with the latter's money?

Here's what E! Online has to say about the scene:

Believe it or not, the heartwarming reunion scene looks to be genuine! Sources say the kids (Dan, Serena, Jenny and Eric) learn about the half brother early in the season, but in episode five, Rufus and Lily finally meet their long-lost love child.

Turns out Scott is up to nothing more scandalous than his quest to find his birth parents after all. He's a good guy, it turns out. At least that's the word.

Interestingly, Scott's main story arc is the first five episodes of Gossip Girl Season 3, but he departs again after the big reunion. More likely than not, however, the character will recur again at some point later in the season in some capacity.

Are you happy that Scott is a good guy? Do you believe this is just a smoke screen? What do you predict will happen with him on Gossip Girl?

This recent photo from the Gossip Girl set appears to show stars Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford embracing Chris Riggi, who plays Scott, the mysterious love child of Lily and Rufus (who they do not know is still alive as of the end of Season 2).

That's about to change, however, based on this  ...

Is a family reunion in store on Gossip Girl?

While the plot line involving the mysterious love child Scott has already been developing for awhile, no one knows it! We don't know what to expect once his identity is revealed to the rest of the Gossip Girl characters we love. Should be very interesting.

Also spotted on set during this round of filming? The lovely Michelle Trachtenberg.

Below are some more images from the Gossip Girl set that we recently came across, showing a pair of hot new couples - Nate and Bree, and Vanessa and Scott.

Here's Chace Crawford (Nate) and Joanna Garcia (Bree) behind the wheel ...

What do you suppose Nate and Bree are up to?

We're certainly interested to see what happens with these new characters and to see if these upcoming pairings have any chemistry. Click to enlarge more pics:

As yesterday's Gossip Girl spoilers certainly hinted, Vanessa will be getting involved with someone we met at the end of last season. Scott certainly came to mind.

Well, here's Jessica Szohr with who we believe to be Chris Riggi (Scott) on the set of the show in NYC. Think they make a cute couple? We may soon find out ...

Here's a good one for you sleuths and spoiler nuts out there - and thank you so very much to the anonymous tipster who emailed this to us, Gossip Girl style!

We have no idea who took this (it may have been done on a camera phone), but check out what appears to be Rufus meeting Scott, his long-lost love child ...

As always, we can't verify what is really taking place when people send us set photos. But that looks like Matthew Settle and Chris Riggi to us. Our main question is, does Rufus Humphrey realize who he's talking to here, or is Scott's identity a mystery to him?

Theories and comments welcome!

The spawn of Lily and Rufus is here!

Actor Chris Riggi will appear in the Gossip Girl season finale as Scott, the long-lost love child of Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle).

That means on-again, off-again Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) will come face-to-face with their half-brother.

Who is this guy? How did this come to pass? And what does it all mean for our favorite Upper East Siders, young and old? Theories abound, for sure.

The return of Scott is going to be "a major grenade" in the relationship of Lily and Rufus. But what got the turbulent pair to this unexpected place?

Earlier this season, Rufus found out Lily didn't just break up with him when they were teenagers, she ran away to secretly give birth to their son overseas.

That reveal was shortly trumped by the news that their boy Scott, who'd been adopted by a nice suburban family, had recently died in a sailing accident.

Of course, as it turns out, the adoptive parents were lying and it was actually their other kid who had died. The Rufus-Lily-spawn, Scott, is alive and well.

Now he's coming to New York City. What does this mean for the kids, Dan, Jenny, Serena and Eric? Can Rufus and Lily's fragile relationship survive it?
