gossip girl rips anne hathaway storyline

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.

let me tell you a story about my morning (cw radio interview)

Here’s the scene.

I wake up at around 7:30 this morning when one of my roommates slams the bathroom door.  Which would be fine, if I didn’t go to bed at 2:15.

So I’m angry, and really crabby, but I can’t fall back asleep.  I want to go punch him in the face because it happens every morning, but then he stays in the bathroom and takes a shower.

“Fine,” I think. “I’ll just go to sleep.”

Well, I can’t.  I try for 15 minutes, but I’m wide awake.  But this is OK, because I have a bunch of homework due later in the day,  I figure that I should seize the moment and get started on it early.

The songs on my iPod are a little bit stale, and I think it would be nice to listen to some FM radio.  It’s something that I haven’t really done since Howard Stern went to Sirius, so I decide turn on the radio.

First, I try the student station that the same door-slamming roommate is going to start working for next week.  But it doesn’t come in clearly.  I flip around, and eventually land on 102.9.

So I’m sitting there, reading an article about the demise of the American newspaper for a while, and then who do I hear get introduced?

Carly Weber.

I was like: “Hey! I know that person.  I know someone on the radio!”  It was a weird experience.

And then something really weird happened: I was nervous the entire interview, trying to will Carly not to make a mistake and sell HooplaNow better than I would if I was being interviewed.

And she did – so I was happy.  It’s been a good day since I heard the interview.

But there was one thing that I didn’t understand.  Carly said that the day of the Super Bowl was her favorite day of the year because football was over for a long time.

I think the hating football part of that statement is a bit ludicrous, but it’s a free country, I guess.

For those who like football, or are simply interested in pro sports studio shows, NBC is going to have an amazing 11 talking heads on their studio show.

Enjoy the game everyone.  Or, if you don’t like football, enjoy the commercials and Bruce Springsteen.
