Cutest. Play. Date. Ever.

Gossip Girl stars Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford brought their little girls out for some early Hallowen fun at the Old Navy Pumpkin Patch in New York.

Looking at this photo, we can't help but think it'd be kinda cute if Rufus and Lily created some little half-siblings for Dan, Serena, Jenny and Eric. Right?

In any case, here's Matthew, Aven Angelica, Kelly and Helena Grace ...

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 ...

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.

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!

Yesterday's batch of Gossip Girl set photos showed Chace Crawford and Joanna Garcia filming scenes and a number of other cast members arriving to work.

Today, we have another batch of pictures for you, featuring some of the same cast members we know and love, and the return of another recurring character.

Here's a picture of Blake Lively and guest star Sebastian Stan, appearing on the show for the third season. Looks like Carter Baizen is back in a big way ...

What do you think Serena and Carter are up to?

Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle is now a dad off-screen as well as on the CW show, where he plays Rufus Humphrey, former rock star and father of Jenny and Dan.

He and his wife, model-actress Naama Nativ, 25, welcomed the birth of their daughter, Aven Angelica, on Thursday, his rep confirmed to celeb news sources.

Aven, who was born in the afternoon, weighs 8 lbs., 11 oz.

This is the first child for both Matthew Settle, 39, and his wife, who have been married for more than two years. Congratulations to them both!

NYC's WPIX morning news broadcast caught up with Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle recently and spoke with him at length about the show. He's a pretty funny guy!

In the interview, he answered fan questions about Gossip Girl, talked about the hit show's trendiness and literary references (the show is a public service, he says), what he hopes happens with Rufus Humphrey, the upcoming spinoff, and more...

Good to hear he agrees Ed Westwick is sexy. Follow the jump for two more segments, in which Matthew also shows off his guitar skills and dance moves (seriously) ...

Matthew Settle is having problems with fatherhood on Gossip Girl as Rufus Humphrey, whose children, Dan and Jenny in particular, are proving to be handful.

But the actor is "thrilled" to be an expectant father in real life.

"I'm not ready. I don't think I'll ever be ready," he told People magazine at Tavern on the Green on Tuesday night. "But I'm thrilled."

Settle and his wife, model Naama Nativ, enjoyed a dinner to benefit the Tribeca Film Institute after attending a screening of Quantum of Solace.

"We're having a girl," added pregnant Nativ, who also was in You Don't Mess with the Zohan. "It's going amazingly. I love it. He's very happy, very excited."

In describing the feeling of being a first-time parent, the Gossip Girl star invoked one of Jack Nicholson's most memorable As Good As It Gets quotes.

"Before you have a child, everything is about you," Matthew Settle explained. "But my wife, and us having a child, makes me want to be a better man."

While art is known to imitate life, in this case, the dad-to-be claims that his character on Gossip Girl, Rufus, "is helping inform my real life."

But when it comes to picking a name for the baby, they are still undecided: "We're not sure yet ... we'll see," said Nativ. "I want Angelica."

Gossip Girl stars Penn Badgley (Dan), Matthew Settle (Rufus) and Blake Lively (Serena) were all seen at the Us Weekly Hot in Hollywood 2008 awards - and lived up to their "hot" billing if you ask us. Here's Penn, his TV dad and real-life love (click to enlarge) ...
