Stories I Could Tell: Gossip Girl

Has become my latest obsession currently. It's a US drama series that was created by the same producer that produced The O.C. , Josh Schwartz but it's nothing like The O.C.

The series is basically about a group of scandalous teenage socialites who live in the glamorous and sophisticated Upper East Side of New York City. These rich teenagers live the high life - all they do are shop, party and drink. But as teenagers, they deal with sex, drugs and problems with their friendships and relationships.

The narrator, Gossip Girl, is an unseen character who runs a blog about the lives of these teenagers, and is always on the lookout for the scoop on everything and everyone. Rumor has it that Kristen Bell plays the role of Gossip Girl.

The casts are wayy hotter than The O.C.Let's take a peek, shall we?

Serena was the IT girl in her school before she mysteriously dissappear for boarding school in Conneticut. However, she returned to NYC due to her brother's admittance into rehab. ( I still think that her return to NYC aren't that simple).Serena keeps a steady string of admirers, including Dan Humphrey & Nate Archibald.

Blair, Serena's BFF, is rather vain, though her friendship with Serena causes her to be insecure at times. Blair uses her charm, money, and social clout to get whatever she wants. She's like the Queen Bee at school and has 2 sidekicks, Kati and Iz.Her father left her mom and her for a male model. Blair's character is very uptight and she's always never good enough for her mother, Eleanor Waldorf ,who is a renowned fashion-designer in NYC.

Nate, is also from prominent families in NYC. His dad is a lawyer who forces him to follow his foot steps. He's also Blair's long-time boyfriend...They are like childhood sweethearts. Hence, his dad always pressure him to marry Blair in order to help his dad to score a deal for his law firm. Has slept with Serena before she left for boarding school.(FYI, his real-life girlfriend is none other than American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood)

Chuck is the epitome of rich-spoiled kids who loves sex and alcohol. He's Nate's best buddy and kindda close with Blair too. Both of them have successfully plotted a plan to tarnish Serena's reputation during Ivy Week. He has feelings for Blair too. They even have a secret affair not long after Nate broke up with Blair. He even tried to sleep with Serena and Jenny too. ( Do you think he looks a lil' bit like Jonathan Rhys Meyers?)

Ahh..My favourite character in the series..Dan Humphrey. Not from any prominent families in NYC...Secretly in love with Serena for 2 years before finally becoming her boyfriend after she returned from boarding school. He's funny at times..Kindda goofy too..Nonetheless, he's a very intelligent guy who has a smokin' hot rock- star-cum-art-gallery-owner father. Oh by the way, his dad had a history together with Serena's mom. Talk about 4th degree of separation...Scandalous, aren't they???? Indeed.

Aww..Little Jenny Humphrey..Dan's lil' sister who wants to be the next IT girl ala Serena ...Would do anything to try to fit into the rich and fabulous clique in her school i.e. Blair and her sidekicks. Once, she even betrayed her brother's secret in order to win Blair's heart. A good seamstress though, always make her own clothes that are kindda stylish. (I know..not in this picture..Hate the purple stockings)
