I love Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes of shows. There is always a crisis and somehow it gets resolved in that hour. And in that time you might just laugh and cry many times. I just hate that in Canada we have to wait for another month and a half before we get to see the Thanksgiving episodes from the States. But we still appreciate it.
Episode eleven of the season is called, Treasure of Serena Madre, and it goes like this: It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side if there wasn’t a serving or two of some major drama for the holiday. Blair (Leighton Meester) suspects her mom (guest star Margaret Colin) has been keeping a big secret from her, but it turns out to be something else entirely. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) is supposed to spend Thanksgiving with her parents, but has a fight with her mom (guest star Gina Torres) and shows up on Dan’s (Penn Badgley) doorstep. Rufus (Matthew Settle) learns that Lily (Kelly Rutherford) has been lying to him about her mother, Cece (guest star Caroline Lagerfelt). Chuck (Ed Westwick) tells Nate (Chace Crawford) that he has some potentially damaging information about one of their friends. Jenny (Taylor Momsen) learns that Eric (Connor Paolo) was behind her very public embarrassment at Cotillion and can’t pass up a chance to get even. Serena (Blake Lively) is put in a very awkward position when her mother invites Trip (guest star Aaron Tveit) and Maureen (guest star Holley Fain) to join them for Thanksgiving dinner..

The People’s Choice nominations were announced today. I was one of those people who voted for my favorites so this was neat to see if my choices made it. Twilight, House, Vampire Diaries, Three Rivers and Gossip Girl made it. But Zachary Levi didn’t make the list. I think that I nominated him for every category. I guess it doesn’t work that way.

I have to say that Gossip Girl has really brought the guest stars this year, Hilary Duff, Jimmy Fallon, Lady Gaga and one of my personal favorites, Kevin Zegers. I was going to write about Kevin before…he starred in the Air Bud movies and he grew up in Canada…right near where I lived in Ontario. We all know he has to be cool then!
The tenth episode of the season is called, The Last Days of Disco Suck, and it goes like this…Hoping to impress the elitist theater kids at NYU, Blair (Leighton Meester) sets her sights on landing a private concert with the hottest musical performer of the year, Lady Gaga. Dan (Penn Badgley) and Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff) sign up to write and star in a school play, based on an idea by Blair and directed by Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). With Blair out of the picture, Serena (Blake Lively) turns to Nate (Chace Crawford) to help her get through a difficult situation. As a favor to Chuck (Ed Westwick), Jenny (Taylor Momsen) agrees to hang out with Damien (guest star Kevin Zegers), the son of an ambassador who is staying at Chuck’s hotel, but the experience proves to be a lot more intriguing than she expected.

Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester were seen on the set of Gossip Girl today, they were shooting a scene where they were visiting a homeless shelter. It seems like Chuck has become a lot more compassionate this season since he’s been with Blair. I guess they bring out the best in each other. MAJOR SPOILER!! When they are at the homeless shelter Chuck sees someone from his past. I know who it is…so do you have any guesses? I didn’t post the picture on purpose because I didn’t want to give it away.

It seems like the day of the magazines, I always love the first of the month so I can see them all. Leighton Meester is on the cover of the December 2009 issue of Glamour magazine. Leighton always looks amazing in magazines.
I love the quote she gives at the end of the interview. I am sure many celebrities would like to be able to say the same thing she does.
“I’m proud of the work that I’ve done. I don’t care what people label me as. If they want to say I’m an actress, and I should never sing, that’s fine. If they know me for my music, because they don’t watch my show or my movies, that’s fine, too. I’m doing what I want with my life. I just do…me.”
I think she’s great at all she does…don’t stop Leighton.

Blake Lively is on all the covers of the magazines Robert Pattinson isn’t on for the month of December 2009. And here she is on the cover of Marie Claire. This issue hits news stands on November 10th. Here are some of the highlights from the interview in the magazine.
On one of the remarkable things about you is your ability to imagine yourself in situations that are much bleaker than what you’ve experienced in your own life. As a character, I get to be this wild, outgoing person that I’m so not. I think it all comes from being the youngest of five. I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to to be helpful as an actress.
Do you think of yourself as Southern, even though you grew up in L.A.? I grew up in L.A., but I was the only one in my family born there. I have a tight-knit Southern family, so whenever I tell people I’m from L.A., they say, “Yeah but you don’t count,†I guess because of the Southern values I was raised with , and the way I eat – the more sugary and cheesy and fried, the better.
The way you dress is so bold. You seem very comfortable with yourself right now. Living in New York, I feel stronger and more like a woman than ever before. In high school, it was like, what power do I have – I have long blonde hair, you know? But working as hard as I do now, I feel a sense of power and respect, too. And I’ve learned an incredible amount about fashion on Gossip Girl. Clothes are a personal expression, and my style is as ever-changing as I am: I’m growing, maturing, developing, I’m going through new things in my life, and with that, what I choose to wear changes.
