Gossip Girl plans to rip its season ending storyline loosely from the whole Anne Hathaway, my boyfriend got arrested because he posed as part of the Vatican type of story, according to EW.com.

Michael Ausiello has the details…

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the show is planning a season-ending story line loosely inspired by the actress’ infamous (and fizzled) romance with Italian grifter Raffaello Follieri, who was convicted last October on 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. In the world of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively’s Serena will play the unsuspecting ingenue who falls for a handsome European socialite — in this case a hunk named Gabriel (casting is under way).

Looks like GG will take things darker than the Hathaway saga too, which makes me happy.

It ultimately puts Serena’s life in danger. Moreover, it triggers the return of Michelle Trachtenberg’s Georgina Sparks and casts our heroine’s sworn frenemy in the unlikely role of savior.

Sounds good to me.  But did you know that Gossip Girl isn’t the first TV show to incorporate the Hathaway storyline into their show?

The first was The Simpsons.

So there you go, there’s some knowledge the guys can use to hit on females this weekend.  May you be as lucky as Marco Jaric, who’s dating a certain world-famous Victoria’s Secret model.
