just what gossip girl needs- another self-absorbed bitch. now that chuck and blair are finally together, GG lacks the grasp it once held on its addicted watchers. It hasn't quite turned Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Houswives because not everyone on the show has slept with everyone. Little J is still holding out. However just bringing in actual celebrities is a desperate attempt to fill the void of Chuck and Blair's evil games. Luckily, everyone still wants to know how things end so it will probably last this season and maybe another before blake lively and chase crawford beg off.
