Chace Crawford Gets Shrieks in Chelsea, Snores on Lower East Side
New York Magazine's Chris Rovzar lured Chace Crawford deep into the heart of Chelsea to dish about the real-life gossip and the new season of Gossip Girl, which returns tonight. According to Rovzar, Crawford is pretty much over all the fawning:
"After some haggling involving mentions of well-lit public places, Chace agreed to meet us for a chaste lunch at Chelsea’s Empire Diner. When he walked in, wearing black Levi’s skinny jeans and a Diesel hoodie that hit his slender wrists just so, the restaurant’s flamboyant waiters shrieked and hugged him. They later said it was because he was a regular, but shrieks and hugs are a natural reaction to someone who looks like him. (We should know: By the end of our own conversation, our voices had gone up at least two octaves. Only Mariah Carey’s dogs could hear us.) 'I like to hang out on the Lower East Side,' he said. Hence the skinny jeans. 'Don’t try to get anywhere too quickly,' we joked shrilly, immediately loathing ourselves. The cool kids down on Rivington are nowhere near as sycophantic as us. 'Most of them don’t even give a shit,' he said."
And if rumors are true, tonight's episode will feature the reveal of Gossip Girl's gay character.

Gossip Girl never seen an episode and probably will not, the introduction of a gay character is not enough for me to be drawn in. However good flesh is good flesh.
What is going on with Greek?
I am pleased to see a Black gay character on the show however I would like to see an array of colorful boyfriends if possible. I am always a little disappointed when I only see Black men with White men (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Check out the gay.com ads that flash on this site and others, there is not a black couple shown. I am just sharing.

Chace is ok I guess, but the one who melts my butter is badboy Chuck Bass (played by Ed Westwick, who plays American but is as British as tea and crumpets), its all about those lips and the way he wears that scarf and ascot. GG is quite addictive, all long as you look at it like a guilty pleasure. It's not Masteroiece Theatre, its just Gossip Girl
