Go Away Jenny
I hate to say it but I was right. No wait, I love saying that! I WAS RIGHT, I WAS RIGHT, I WAS RIGHT, I WAS RIGHT, I WAS RIGHT.
Jenny has proven herself to be too immature to have left school.
In the real world, do you really think ANYONE would put up with this much of her crap? Crashing an award benefit like that? Personally, I was shocked that anyone was impressed within it…the theme was trite (ooh look at me! I’m punk and rebellious!), the clothes were predictably “out there” (a ruffled skirt! we’ve never seen THAT before!) and the show was just in bad taste (kicking over expensive wine bottles? really?)
Furthermore, where does she get off asking Nate for his support and proof that he likes her? The guy made out with her once, with barely any hint that he liked her before the episode…I think most of you would agree that if this was outside the GG world, it would mean he’s just not that into her.
And of course, our little Jenny runs away instead of facing the consequences of her actions.
Good Riddance.
You know you hate her,
Taytay <3
My Prescriptions for GG
I’m not a doctor, I just play one on tv. Actually, I’m just acting like a doctor FOR tv!
After last night’s show, I made my diagnosis. Here is what I prescribe for the characters:
Dan: NO MORE FRIENDS FOR YOU! You think I didn’t hear you say “love ya” to Nate before you hung up the phone when you called him in front of Jenny? Well I did and that warrants permanent solitary confinement!
Serena: A good beating administered by Lily for mouthing off the way you do. The woman gave you life thus YOU OWE HER YOUR LIFE. Show some respect and leave your cattiness for your peer group because at least then you’re interesting.
Jenny: Go back to real school. You’re only 15 meaning you can’t vote, meaning you’re useless. Get a proper education so you can do something worthwhile for once.
Chuck: CASTRATION because:
A) You didn’t ruin Vanessa like I was hoping you would and
B) You didn’t get with Blair when you had the chance!! (nooooooooo)
Blair: Aw, I can’t get mad at you… I like you too much and you’re too pretty….
just maybe try not to be too desperate for Chuck and be more evil and kniving… ‘kay, hun?
Producers/Scriptwriters/Creative Group for GG: I prescribe a CREATIVE WRITING CLASS so you will STOP RIPPING OFF THE PLOT OF CRUEL INTENTIONS!!
Seriously, you already hinted at it when Chuck and Serena became step-siblings, but Blair’s “evil” plan doesn’t seem so terrible when it’s already been done. Especially when you hinted at Chuck turning good/liking Vanessa. What next? Serena starts doing coke and Blair teaches Jenny how to kiss? I know there were a lot of “great ideas” in that movie but you’re already basing your plot on a set of books so is it too much to ask for a little artistic integrity and innovation? I guess so.
For the readers of the blog: To help fill your daily requirement of humour and ranting read this entry twice a day and comment on the bottom :P

My Gossip Girl Weekend
Hey Guys,
Sorry I didn’t write sooner about last week’s episode but I was following the advice of Dan’s temporary “Mentor” and I was out “experiencing life to develop as a writer.” I would make fun of this old coot more but sadly enough, we’ve all encountered this artsy type in our day-to-day lives - you know, that person who thinks they’re “edgy” by being an alcoholic who reads books whose titles are impressive just so they can use there $10 words in describing their “unique” and “deep” analysis - but I digress…
Anyways, I too, like Dan, decided to spend the weekend with Chuck. I took him to my cousin’s $200,000 wedding since I thought it was to his standards. He was a good company at first - a little uppity though- but after a few drinks he started to unwind; he began to approach the ladies. Things then went downhill when he hit on the bride because he mistook her for a high class prostitute. Fortunately for him, I was there to punch out the groom when he went for Chuck. In jail, however, Chuck’s gratitude turned to anger when he found out I was documenting all of this for my blog! I found it strange that he didn’t see me carrying my laptop around the whole night, furiously typing and muttering to myself that I must find his secrets and exploit him, but I guess that’s what the drugs do to your brain. [See kids, don't be a Jenny, stay in school, don't do drugs!]
Hope you’re all laughing
You know you love me 
XOXO

P.S. for all of you who are a little slower than most, the events and characters described are mostly fictitious =P
No More Vanessa PLEASE!!
Ever since she’s come on the show, I’ve wanted to kick Vanessa in the face.
She is always wandering around, not quite knowing what is going on, getting into everyone’s business.
Supposedly, she is this cool, rebellious, down to earth chick that doesn’t care what everyone else thinks…yet we see her in these stylish “wannabe artsy” clothes, heavily accessorized and wearing tons of make up.
Fine, that part is just for television. I will also give her the benefit of the doubt that she is “cool and rebellious” off-camera (according to Dan and Jenny) So what do we see in her on screen?
She came in first season, much to our annoyance, chasing Dan (who was “mean-to-be” with Serena). Then she sticks around as the go-to girl for advice which always turns out to be terrible. I’m not even exaggerating here. EVERY TIME she tries to help Dan, Jenny or even Rufus by essentially telling them to “do what’s in their heart” or to “be themselves” or whatever else the producers decide are hippie-like adages, it backfires on the characters (which may imply that these characters are also pretty crappy but we’re not going into that today).
Absolutely terrible.
I’m sorry to say it, but last night’s episode of Gossip Girl was the worst one I have ever seen.
From giving the episode a product placement title to the consistent subliminal plugging of Vitamin Water and Ashley Tisdale’s “Picture This” phone to the crappy, unoriginal story line, “Dark Night” was just terrible.
Alright, when Blair’s new fling’s deep dark secret was that he was “British and a Lord” (*gasp*) in the first episode I was amused. When the second episode had nothing to really talk about - I was patient and just grateful for the t.v. fix. But when they start showing 12-year-old’s dressing up as the “older kids” in a weak attempt to reach out to the show’s demographic thinly veiled by what the producers thought was “humour”, I just felt sick.
A blackout? Really? Now that’s an original way to catalyze character development. It’s way more original than locking your characters into enclosed spaces, like I don’t know, closets or some mode of elevating transportation so that their relationships can evolve…oh wait…
At least we know that in the next few episodes we can enjoy Dan and Serena’s mindless droning about their feelings or whatever it is they talk about to their friend’s and family (who really don’t care but nod and smile and spout just as much B.S. - yes I’m talking about you Rufus) and Jenny can become the successful 14-year-old she wants to be even though the past three episodes have been about her overcoming the oh-so mean and heartless people of the fashion industry that admire her spunk…how many more of these stories will they be able to churn out? I bet three.
It’s lucky that Nate is pretty. Like Vanessa I can look past his man-whoring and just stare at him instead of paying attention to his “cougar pleasuring” in between all his terrible family troubles - you know, appreciate him for what he really is…eye candy.
As for Blair, Chuck and “The Lord”. 10 bucks says Marcus is a homosexual and Chuck will reject Blair again when she goes back to him only to realize two episodes later that he really does love her but will have to steal her away from a Chinese Emperor who was pretending to be an ESL exchange student going to MIT next year.
The only good thing about this episode was the fact that we could hear Ed Westwick’s (Chuck’s) natural British accent.
I don’t know if I love it

You know you love it…
Taytay here, giving you one look into the one who gives “the look” into the scandalous lives of the Upper East Side.
Okay, that was a little lame but what do you expect from a 19 year-old math major/film minor (aka me)?
The truth is, Gossip Girl - by all means a guilty pleasure of mine since I was 12- is a huge source of another kind of amusement. Seeing these so-called teenagers in their superficial, self absorbed, “elite” world is all good and well but there are also instances - let’s call them “loop holes” - which make the show worth watching all the more.
For example, when are bloggers cool? Really, that is what Gossip Girl is right? A blogger whose material relies solely on the actions of a group of people she stalks! Plus, this all started way before Facebook and Myspace, so you know she’s hardcore in getting her “information”. Creepy. [NB: I realize I'm a blogger but the fact that I used "NB" should be indicative enough on my "cool status"]
