Michelle Trachtenberg News

Georgina Sparks ... getting married?

Just kidding. It's not Georgina, just her real-life alter ego, Michelle Trachtenberg, who ditched her inner Gossip Girl vixen for bridal wear on the New York set of her new movie project, A Couple of Dicks. Yes, it's called that.

In the Kevin Smith comedy, Michelle Trachtenberg plays Bruce Willis' daughter. This is certainly a departure from how we'd expect to see Evil G, for sure.

She is expected to be back on the NYC set of Gossip Girl at some point - the actress is rumored to be appearing on at least three episodes this season!

One of the most surprising elements of last night's episode of Gossip Girl was Georgina Sparks' appearance at the end, in which she nonchalantly called Dan to say that she resolved the Poppy Lifton situation and would see him at NYU in the fall.

We also saw her try to rig things in the school's offices so she could room with another Upper East Sider attending that Lower East Side school: Blair Waldorf.

But will Michelle Trachtenberg be a full-time cast member next season?

Despite Georgina's brief appearance last night, along with that of Carter Baizen (played by Sebastian Stan, who's Leighton Meester's boyfriend in real life), sources say those two are not signed to full-time gigs for next seaspm, at least right now.

As far as we can tell, Michelle's first obligation is to her new NBC series, Mercy. At an NBC luncheon in L.A., she talked to E! about her Gossip Girl future:

"It's definitely a cliffhanger, and obviously very exciting," Trachtenberg said of her season finale appearance. "Obviously one can assume from that dialogue being spoken that there are many more crazy things to come for Georgina."

She’s baaaaaaack!

Michelle Trachtenberg returns to Gossip Girl on Monday night to stir up some more trouble on the Upper East Side as the deliciously evil Georgina Sparks.

The actress admits she loves playing the bad girl.

“The nasty b!tch is back in town,” Trachtenberg told People in a recent interview. “It’s super fun to play the bad girl. I love bringing out the inner nasty.”

For the 23-year-old Michelle, pulling out her claws and unleashing a fierce, wicked side is a “challenge,” but she says she has a pinch of evil buried in her.

“Every woman secretly has an inner b!tch deep down inside - including myself,” the actress said. “But with the scenarios that Georgina is in and the lines from the script, the evil naturally comes out and flows really well for me.”

But don’t expect her onscreen persona to rub off on her in real life.

“I don’t take the nastiness off set, but sometimes when paparazzi get in my face, Georgina comes out,” says Michelle, who can also be seen with Zac Efron in 17 Again.

While Trachtenberg was absent from the set for most of this season (Georgina is currently serving time at a reform school after her shenanigans on the first season), some of her Gossip Girl co-stars have fallen for each other.

Is there some kind of love potion circulating in NYC?

Georgina Sparks is back on Gossip Girl, and when E! News caught up with her on the set, Michelle Trachtenberg revealed the following interesting tidbit:

"We're filming a scene, it's the first time we see Georgina. She has a little run-in with Chuck Bass, who is in shock at her new attire, getup and demeanor."

According to spies, the big Chuck-Georgina reunion happens in the park when Sir Charles comes upon a group of, um, oddly dressed people at a log cabin.

The assembled young people are all wearing T-shirts that read "OMJC," and one asks Chuck, "Are you a wayward soul in search of direction?"

Right about then, a hippie-looking, creepy, smiley and altogether weird-seeming Georgina pops up and asks if Chuck's been saved as well.

WTF?!

Michelle says, "There are definitely evil elements that Georgina can never leave behind, but you will be seeing a different, let's say reformed, side of Georgina."

What will this mean for Georgina Sparks' relationships with the rest of the Upper East Siders? Once again, let's ask Michelle Trachtenberg herself ...

Batten down the hatches, Upper East Siders - Hurricane Georgina is blowing back into town, according to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly.

Sources confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg will be reprising her role as Serena van der Woodsen's (Blake Lively) nemesis Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl - and for multiple episodes. She first appeared toward the end of Season One.

A Gossip Girl rep declined to comment on the record, but an inside source says Georgina, who was last seen being carted off to rehab, will reappear toward the end of the current Season Two. Wonder in what capacity?

Creator and executive producer Josh Schwartz had hinted at Georgina's return in a past interview, but we're glad it's coming to fruition. The more drama, the merrier!

In related news, have you heard the rumor that Georgina will turn out to be Lily and Rufus' MIA love child? Crazy, right? Well, it's even crazier when you consider the fact that said love child is (spoiler alert!) ******** * **.

Her character, Georgina Sparks, may be out of the picture, but Michelle Trachtenberg (after being seen with Taylor Momsen earlier in the week) stopped by the set of Gossip Girl to say hello to co-star Leighton Meester in New York City on Thursday ...

There is no plan to bring back Georgina on Gossip Girl ... for now.

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey), along with Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Serena's nemesis Georgina Sparks in a memorable Season One stint, got their kicks Wednesday at the launch party for Reebok FLASH in New York City ...

"FLASH" A SMILE: Free of raccoon makeup, Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen looks pretty at a New York event. Always nice to have a Michelle Trachtenberg sighting, as well.

Season One's notorious and mysterious Gossip Girl troublemaker, Michelle Trachtenberg, was all revved up for the unveiling of the new Dodge Challenger at the Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, Calif.

With Michelle Trachtenberg, who was absolutely terrific as the meddling Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl, is The Hills star Audrina Patridge!

New Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg is accused of being just that - and we're not even talking about her evil character Georgina Sparks.

A celebrity news rumor claims the actress was caught talking smack about newly wedded Pete Wentz as she waited at an airport last weekend.

When asked about the story by Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show, Michelle denied speaking negatively about the Fall Out Boy frontman, who's her ex-boyfriend, and who married Ashlee Simpson on Saturday.

Michelle Trachtenberg recently joined the Gossip Girl cast.

"Pete's been a friend of mine for years. I think the world of him. I would never trash him," said Michelle Trachtenberg, who added that she is "very happy" for the couple.

Nevertheless, Seacrest did pass on some sage advice: "If you're gonna talk crap on somebody, do it via text. That's how I roll."

Or get up in someone's grill at an L.A. nightclub, with cameras filming the entire exchange. That's how they roll on The Hills.

As for Gossip Girl, we can't wait to see if Georgina gets hers tonight on the season finale, "Much I Do About Nothing." Hours to go!

It's a date! Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Michelle Trachtenberg stop by New York City's Hill Country barbecue joint for the Saturday Night Live afterparty, where Ashton Kutcher celebrated his third time hosting.

The duo of Blake Lively and Michelle Trachtenberg may play frenemies on Gossip Girl, but they're getting along like BFFs in real life!
