The Tuesday Gossip Girl Reality Index

Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's reality index of last night's Gossip Girl, a column we post and link to Tuesday morning that's not to be missed.

We posted our official guide to "The Last Days of Disco Stick" Now, some highlights from NY Magazine's nonsensical, yet thorough and very funny analysis:

  • Dan Humphrey would clearly walk down the street giving strangers high fives - even if he hadn't just had a threesome. Plus 1.
  • "Vanessa is very vocal" during sex, Nate says helpfully. Plus 1.
  • Why is Olivia always so mature? She's a movie star. Minus 3.
  • Okay, first of all, did Lady Gaga do a backflip onstage in the background when Vanessa walked up to Dan and Vanessa? Plus 5.

Jenny and a Guy

  • Drug dealers don't have "a guy." They are "the guy." Minus 5.
  • "Dude, I'm Chuck Bass. Even Europeans must know what that means." Plus 10. We swear sometimes they're writing this show for you, commenters.
  • We've said this before, but it bears repeating: If Olivia is a giant movie star, why are there never paparazzi following her around, ever? Minus 5.
  • Jenny is reading Nylon. Plus 1, because we would, too, if our stepsister had been on the cover 1.5 million times in the past two years.
  • Blair is wearing tights as pants! Minus 100.
  • "He gave six girls from Nightingale gonorrhea of the throat last year." Plus 500.

CW Confirms Gossip Girl Schedule For Spring 2010

Updating a story we told you about earlier this week, the CW officially confirmed its rumored plan to put Gossip Girl on a six-week hiatus early next year.

This is part of a strategy to air three shows - Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and the new drama Life UneXpected - in two time slots with zero repeats of any.

While six weeks with no Gossip Girl is a letdown, you can sort of the logic of the CW. And at least we have each other here at Gossip Girl Insider, right?

Bottom line? Gossip Girl will air Monday, January 11 and then return on Monday, March 8, when it will air every Monday until the end of the third season.

GG Cast #1

We believe that will take place May 17 or May 24. It has not officially been confirmed. The Monday night mid-season rotation at the CW will be as follows:

January 18 – March 1                

One Tree Hill, 8:00-9:00 pm  
Life UneXpected, 9:00-10:00 pm

March 8 - April 12

Life UneXpected, 8:00-9:00 pm
Gossip Girl, 9:00-10:00 pm

April 19 – Season Finales (May 17 or 24)

One Tree Hill, 8:00-9:00 pm
Gossip Girl, 9:00-10:00 pm

The Tuesday Morning Gossip Girl Reality Scale

Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's reality index of last night's Gossip Girl, a column we post and link to each Tuesday morning that's not to be missed.

We posted our official recap of "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" Now, some highlights from NY Magazine's nonsensical, but thorough and funny analysis:

  • Okay, let's just cut right to the threesome. The Parents Council had nothing to worry about here. Plus 10 anyway, because Dan's drunk "I can't believe my luck" would-be sexy face was totally realistic; and because Vanessa's newly revealed status as a sci-fi geek makes her participation more likely.
  • Why is Gossip Girl like so late on the Jenny vs. Eric feud, which began two episodes ago? We can't believe she'd slip like that. Minus 3.
  • The nerd crew is awesomely indignant when Olivia tells them that Endless Knights IV isn't happening. "But Warner Bros. sent out a press release!" says one. "I'll never trust Harry Knowles again." Plus 3.

Tripp and Serena

  • Tripp hires Serena. Plus 1 because it was an idea only a man with a penis for a head, or a child who only cares about things that are shiny, would have.
  • When Lily throatily said to Jenny, "You have your father's natural rhythm," Jenny should have recoiled slightly, because it was kind of gross. Minus 1.
  • Nate on S and B: "Can you even fight about that?" Plus 1, because Nate is clearly wondering when he and Chuck get to have one of those "fights."
  • Chuck stocks the elevator he locks S and B in with "single malt and macaroons." They're girls; obviously they prefer vodka and Twizzlers. Minus 1.
  • Jenny's middle name is Tallulah? No points, just ... yikes.
  • Jenny, with her lack of jewelry and updo, wouldn't be allowed out of the house by Lily wearing that terrible black concoction with the feathery boob shield, much less those dreadful finger-only gloves. Minus 3.

Gossip Girl to Take Six-Week Winter Hiatus

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.

Gossip Girl Threesome: Even Racier Than Thought!

OMG. The Parents Television Council is going to love this.

According to E! Online, it's looking like the Gossip Girl threesome is even racier and more central to the show than was originally reported:

  • First, the threesome is featured in not one, but two episodes.
  • The big scene takes place Monday night (November 9), but will be recounted with flashbacks the following week, November 16, where we will learn - and watch - even more about what happened during it. 

We think we know who's involved, but the flashback element is something we hadn't considered until now. What do you suppose happens between the participants and what will the fallout be the following week? Share!

Gossip Girl Threesome Sparks PTC Complaints

The much-anticipated Gossip Girl threesome scene in next week's episode of the hit show is coming under criticism from the Parents Television Council (PTC).

The group has released an open letter to The CW that they are objecting to the idea of such scene, which they are claiming is "reckless and irresponsible."

"Gossip Girl routinely depicts teenagers engaging in promiscuous, consequence-free sexual behavior, and that's bad enough," PTC president Tim Winter wrote.

"But will you now be complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers engage in behavior heretofore associated primarily with adult films?"

Should the PTC launch a formal complaint with the government and regulators agree with the PTC about the episode content, the CW could face a large fine.

Rumored 3Some Participants

Rumored threesome participants Dan and Vanessa.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules stipulate that the government may pull "unsatisfactory or unsuitable or contrary to public interest" program.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that the episode could be nixed by the FCC, but we don't see it happening ... unless the scene is way racier than thought.

The episode, "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" airs next week, and while the threesome scene has not been leaked, a couple of promos have hyped it up.

Speculation about it has also been running rampant for weeks.

In concluding its letter of protest, the PTC pleaded to the CW to "ask yourself, how does airing this program serve your obligation to serve the public interest?"

The CW has not publicly responded to the letter but has released two sneak previews from the episode instead. The clips contain no hints of the threesome.

Tuesday A.M. Gossip Girl Reality Index Time!

Below are some excerpts from New York Magazine's reality index of last night's Gossip Girl, a column we post and link to each Tuesday that's not to be missed.

We posted our official episode recap of "The Grandfather: Part II." Now, some highlights from NY Magazine's quite nonsensical, yet quite thorough analysis:

  • They timed this well with Election Day. Plus 1. And votes do change on stupid sh!t like a saved life, though usually the opposite happens, like a secret family, or slashing someone in the face with a broken water glass. Plus 1.
  • After all the buildup, Olivia's Jimmy Fallon appearance was so totally not that bad. It wasn't even bad at all.The way everyone was carrying on about "Bathroom Boy," we assumed Dan was into golden showers. Minus 10.
  • Serena, on Patrick's trying out for a role: "Ryan [Phillippe] totally lost his mojo after Reese got with Jake." When you're right, you're just right. Plus 1.
  • PR Rule No. 1, KC says, is "My PR network is my only value." Really it's "SEND AS MANY ALL-CAPS E-MAILS TO STRANGERS AS POSSIBLE." Minus 3.

Future NYU Queen

  • Evidence of shark-jumping ahead: Promos for "OM3"; and Leighton Meester's video, which is beneath her and horrible on many levels. Minus (OM)3.
  • Serena says she's not a prostitute, then decides to knock back a few in a hotel bar with a married man who says he "would love to have someone to sit with, not talking about politics, not talking about anything." Plus 2.
  • You would never meet a NY1 producer at Cafeteria. Minus 3.
  • Patrick wears skimpy boxer briefs, drinking Jack Daniel's from the $7.89 flask. Plus 2 for the reality of the JD, and for the view that came with the undies.
  • Serena asks a man: "Let me guess, you want to go upstairs and see if two blondes make a right?" Great line, but S would never think of that. Minus 2.
  • As Olivia answers the door, she's wearing a T-shirt, because it's the morning. Serena, on the other hand, is in sequins, tie-dye, and makeup. Plus 1.

Gossip Girl Episode Recap: "The Grandfather: Part II"

Monday night's Gossip Girl featured an intriguing political plot line, along with some vintage cattiness and backstabbing from our favorite pair of frenemies.

With the polls too close to call on Election Day, someone set Nate's cousin up to save a drowning man to make him look like a hero in his bid for Congress.

But when the plot is exposed (by Vanessa, obvs) it's up to Nate to take the fall to save Tripp's bid to represent Manhattan in Washington, D.C. It worked!

Meanwhile, Serena and Blair are going at it like never before, trying to one-up each other at the election party. It ends with Blair's fake shoved in a cake.

Elsewhere, Dan and Olivia hit another hurdle as she told an embarrassing story about him on Late Night. But Dan was more concerned with other things.

For all the details on "The Grandfather: Part II," here's our episode guide!

The SVDW

Serena lost a job (willingly) and a friend (unwillingly) last night.

We're compiling a list of the best quotes from Monday, as well as a list of the music played during "The Grandfather: Part II." They'll be up soon!
