Penn Badgley must be one popular guy on the Gossip Girl set, considering how many co-stars came to the premiere of his new film, The Stepfather. In attendance were his TV dad, TV sister, TV half-brother (who finally revealed his true identity to Rufus and Lily last night!), TV ex-lover/stepsister, TV stepbrother, TV best female friend, TV best male friend and Chuck Bass (does Ed Westwick sharpen his cheekbones before going out?). Kelly Rutherford aside (who was probably busy filing papers against her ex-husband or something), the only major absence from the regular cast was Leighton Meester. Hmmm, are we allowed to assume she and Penn hate each other now? Is that fair? Yes, no, maybe?

Ever since Gossip Girl started, the behind-the-scenes bromance between Chace Crawford and Ed Westwickhas tugged at our heartstrings. They live together! They play basketball together! They’re real life BFFs! It was all so adorable.
Sad news to report today though: the live-in bromance is over. Crawford has flown the coop. The Chelsea bachelor pad the duo has shared since season one belongs solely to Westwick now, who is apparently too much of a slob for Crawford to deal with. Crawford found a new apartment in the Financial District to leave the mess of piled up ascots and eyebrow clippings behind, and to give Westwick the chance to whisper sweet nothings to his off-screen girlfriend, Jessica Szohr, in private.

Congratulations, Chace Crawford! The Gossip Girl star is People’s Hottest Bachelor Of 2009, despite competition from Robert Pattinson and Bradley Cooper. So why did R-Pattz not get the nod? Were they worried he and Kristin Stewart would make it official before it ran? Would he not answer questions about “the perfect date”? (Says Crawford, “A pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation.” Aw.)
Do you think Pattinson was robbed or is Chace truly the cream of Hollywood’s bachelor crop? Soak in the gallery and vote in our poll.
Looks like that public sex won’t be necessary, after all. Page Six reports that Chace Crawford is moving out of the Chelsea apartment he shares with Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick. “Chace wants to move out to a bachelor pad,” says their source. “He wants privacy and has told his agent to spare no expense in finding the perfect loft.” And if it kills those gay rumors, all the better!
Even if Westwick would still “die for this f—ing dude,” Crawford has good reason to bolt. The apartment, which they’ve shared since the show began in 2007, is reportedly a pigsty. Meanwhile, his wingman (with or without benefits) has been giving his attention to another co-star, Jessica Szohr. But even if the dudes are drifting apart, they’ll always have Chelsea.
Watch out, Jessica Szohr!Ed Westwick might nail you in public just to prove he’s straight. The Gossip Girl actor gave his most fevered dismissal yet of the rumors surrounding him and bff co-star Chace Crawford in the new Rolling Stone.
[It's] f—ing ridiculous! “It’s funny because I love this f—ing dude dearly. I would die for this f—ing dude. He’s my brother. But, by God, we are so into our women it’s ridiculous. But what are you going to do about it? Get pissed off and stay home and cry about it?…I made out with a girl in public. F— it, I’ll have sex in public. That one’s still on the list. Still haven’t ticked that one off. Well I have, but they haven’t seen me. Not George Michael public.
Rather than squelching the gossip, this quote is causing the gaydars at Videogum “to burst into flame.” Seriously, if you’re trying to get people to stop talking about you and your Chelsea roommate:
Don’t say “we are so into our women it’s ridiculous.”
Don’t say f— when describing how much you love him.
Don’t reference George Michael.
When posing for photos, try not to look like Savage Garden.

Amanda Bynes has been in the spotlight since the age of seven, and now, at 22, she is one of the few child stars who has avoided rehab and the troubles that normally plague children of show business. Fresh faced and looking ferocious in an animal print dress on the cover of Cosmopolitan, Amanda dishes on marriage, dating, and her unlikely friendship with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
On her friendship with Perez Hilton:
“I don’t have a lot of friends who are actresses. They’re catty, and they’ll cut you down. I like that Perez is proud of who he is and doesn’t care what anybody thinks.”
On the idea of marriage:
“I say I never want to get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I’d get bored! As I get older, I don’t settle. I’d rather tell somebody ‘This is what I want–take it or leave it.’”
On dating actors:
“Obviously, Chace Crawford is gorgeous, but I wouldn’t want to date him. He’s too pretty. Maybe he’s a smart guy and maybe he’s my soul mate [laughs], but that’s not the type I go for.” [Source, Photo: Cosmopolitan]
On last night’s Gossip Girl, Dan blew a gasket when he found his little sister Jenny and best friend Nate locking tongues on the front page of the titular blog (their first kiss, shown above, occurred last week). Confronted by a belligerent Dan, Nate whimpered that he’s a senior and Jenny’s a sophomore, so it’s not really that bad. Dan made his Brandon Walsh 2K douche-face and told him to move out of his family’s apartment.
While the fictional coupling of two teenagers is fine with most CW viewers, a good number may know that while Taylor Momsen (Jenny) is really 15, “high school senior” Chace Crawford (Nate) is actually 23. Staged or no, we’re watching a college dropout suck face with an underage girl in slo-mo. A girl that isn’t even old enough to drive. OMFG, indeed.
Monday’s episode ended with Jenny realizing the ramifications of their potential relationship and ditching Nate, so it’s possible we won’t see these two dry humping anytime soon. But the morality of the characters (and creators) has been known to fluctuate. In one episode, Jenny is stripping to her bra for a creepy photographer. In the next, skeev king/ascot enthusiast Chuck Bass is suggesting he wouldn’t deflower a middle schooler (riiiiight). If Momsen and Crawford do eventually simulate us some statutory rape, Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston should send the producers a flower bouquet out of appreciation.
While we refuse to believe that Lindsay Lohan could love anyone other than the fabulous Samantha Ronson, Big Apple spies want us to think otherwise. Never! Apparently, while all alone at the big Diesel party in Brooklyn last week, Lindsay rubbed thighs with Gossip Girl pretty boy, Chace Crawford. According to the trash-talking sources, Lindsay:
Threw herself at the doe-eyed Chace.
Made sure their bodies were touching at all times.
Gave him dirty, f*ck me looks, whispered in his delicate ears, and turned every comment “into an innuendo.”
Currently texts Chace 3-4 times a day, much to the amusement of his Gossip Girl cast mates.
Here’s a thought: has anyone considered that maybe sweet, innocent Chace was possibly the one rubbing all over Lindsay, if any rubbing occured at all? We know it’s revolutionary to suggest that Lindsay may just not be a slut (anymore), but perhaps it’s become a little too easy to accuse Linds of wanting to bang every penis in sight. Plus, she’s got a girlfriend people! Sorry Chace, but we think you’re gonna have to get laid elsewhere (Scandalist says: Call us!). [Photos: WireImage, GettyImages]
Lauren Conrad and Chace “with a C” Crawford recently “exchanged digits” and apparently things get a little text heavy when they hit up each other’s hometowns (Chace works in NYC, Lauren lives in The Hills, obviously). A friend of the Gossip Girl hottie says “they’re just friends,” but it’s way more interesting to assume they’re getting it on. Though don’t probably don’t get too x-rated - when these two dull stars get together they kinkiest thing they do is twirl each other’s extensions and stare blankly into each other’s fake-lashed eyes. Even if they are booty calling each other, we’re sure there’s no booty involved. These two vain and vapid hotties would rather not mess up their hair, you know? [E! Photos: WireImage, GettyImages]
