Hilary Duff to Join the Cast of Gossip Girl

hilary-duff

Stunt-casting much? The cast of Gossip Girl is heading off to college (NYU, ‘natch), and they’ll be joined by Hilary Duff, who’ll be playing Olivia Burke, a famous film star in search of the normal college experience (coughOlsentwinscough). The twist? She’s rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).

I’m sorry, I’m trying very hard to find an angle to this story that I care about, but it’s not happening. The days of GG are numbered, I’ll tell you that. I can only pray that the nauseating NYC Prep will meet a similar fate, and soon.

  • man…posting has been really slow lately…whats up? no fresh news? i know this is really messed up…but im glad michael was finally able to get people to stop talking about the gosselins! but then again i probably would still rather have michael alive w/ tons of gosselin covers…..rip mj

  • I kind of like GG, but I’m not sure how much attention Hilary will bring to it. She and Jessica aren’t all that popular; it’s definitely Blair/Serena/Nate/Chuck that people are tuning in for.

  • I can’t stand that NY Prep show…those kids make me sick! I too, hope they cancel the show! I can’t stand how they think they are better than anyone else because they have $. That’s ok though because one day, when they fall from grace, you will have their picture on here for us to make fun of!

  • I am so so mad!! I can’t believe they selected HER. The GG cast is so fresh, unique, and absolutely stunning in their own way. Hilary Duff is none of those. She doesn’t fit in. Ugh, as long as she doesn’t do anything with Nate and Chuck, I think I can bear with it. But I am still very very disappointed with the GG casting people.

    • I agree, she just doesnt belong there… although it seems like a great effort to maintain a vanessa in the “story”, cuz seriously vanessa sucks, she doesnt do anything and she’s not even pretty, she’s just there to fill up some blanks but whatever, GG could totally live without her, they should kill her or something

  • NYC Prep is lame. I agree, it needs to go. Those kids wouldnt give us lowly people the time of day, so why should we care about their lives?

  • I am currently reading the GG books, and I have to say I am rather addicted. I’m reading one every day, and they are so much better then the dumb TV show. The show has got it all wrong. The plot line is much more interesting in the books…

  • YEZZZZZZZZZZZZ… no GG isnt gonna die soon… I LOVE THAT SHOW!!! but i mean really it isn’t going to last- everyone has already hooked up with eachother- it wont last… sadly.. .but I am excited! I love HDUFF

  • has anyone seen the real world cancun this season?
    (maybe i’m the only one with this sad existence.)

    anyway!

    jonna off the show looks just like jessica szohr in that photo.

  • This season of GG was so good until the season finale. As an episode by itself, it was incredibly lame. The only thing worthwhile was the things it set up for the next season. But I would probably watch it anyway since I have invested so much into their relationships, haha. Oh man, I need a life.

  • I am sorry Beet, but I disagree with you about Gossip Girl. There is no other show on TV that a gay man, like me, can enjoy women fighting and backstabbing. I love it!

  • God, of all the stupid reality shows for me to like I actually enjoy NYC Prep in a train wreck-can’t-look-away-omg-are-these-kids-for-real kinda way.

  • sure GG’s days are numbered… for now though, i still love the show. just the outfits they wear on it make it worth watching…

    and hil joining the cast! wooo!
