Spotted ... "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester having sex with her BF... on video.

We've learned a Meester tape is being shopped around town. It was shot a few years back, and shows Leighton in mostly innocuous though nude scenes -- with several big exceptions ... one involving her very talented feet. (tmz)

gossip girl recap!

Because of Passover, the theme of Gossip Girl was, fittingly, redemption. As Cyrus, the drama's spiritual center, prepared a brisket for an evening seder, the characters around him continued to simmer in the oily stew pot that is the Upper East Side, trying, like so many aromatic vegetables, to hang on to their individual essences while absorbing and being absorbed by others. After much mishegas, Blair was forgiven by Nate, and later Cyrus, for acting like a social-climbing psychopath. "She is changing" for the better, confirmed Chuck, who redeemed himself for his first-season sin of trying to rape Jenny on the roof at the Kiss on the Lips party by offering her a heartfelt apology. Meanwhile, Serena was forgiven by her mother, Lily, for running away to Barcelona, causing a scene at Eleanor's seder, and the general sin of being an exotic butterfly who merely wants to be free, but sometimes makes mistakes. "Oh, sweetie," Lily tells her daughter during their heartfelt conversation, which takes place in front of a glass-doored refrigerator packed with colorful produce, "I could never think of you as a bad person. You got into Brown." (nymag)

gossip girl recap

happy tuesday everyone!

If a woman has thousands of dollars worth of hair extensions and doesn't make an effort to groom them, do they really exist? Meanwhile, Jenny struggled to remain true to her Humphrey-ness in the face of peer and adult pressure, and Blair continued to be torn between the happy-go-lucky golden retriever that is Nate and her animal attraction to Chuck, the fun but dangerous pit bull. "He would almost be scary if he wasn't wearing plaid," Dan remarks, of the latter. Wouldn't we all.

• Dorota: "Maybe girl from Brooklyn cry, Mr. Nate nice boy, he wipe tears, he touch her hair, she touch his … not that this ever happen to me." Plus 5. Also, plus 5 for the weird implied flirtation between the maid and Vanya the Russian doorman in the van der Woodsen building that also somehow involves product placement for Ann Coulter's newest book. We don't quite get why Dorota would be a right-wing fanatic, but something about it feels right, and we like that they're developing her character. 

• Jenny's text to Gossip Girl reads: "Rager at the VDW!" Plus 1 for the use of rager.

• Chuck is always hanging around in Lily's living room in his smoking jacket drinking booze in front of the fire. Don't other people, like, an entire family, live in that apartment? Minus 3, because what if someone wanted to play Hungry Hungry Hippos? And doesn't Lily basically live on that couch, in her enormous pregnant-ness?

• It's totally unrealistic that Lily would say that she thought the party Serena put together for Jenny was "delightful" and act like Jenny was at fault for being ungrateful when Jenny had clearly, strenuously objected to having such a party the day before and it was beyond evident that Serena was being a pouty egomaniac. It is, however, realistic that Rufus would sit there like a lump while that conversation was going on, so: Even.

(nymag recap)

gossip girl!

"It was time for the rise of the New Blair. But then a funny thing happened: The New Blair was pretty much exactly the same as the Old Blair. She lounged around in lingerie, freaked out about not getting into Yale. She drank too much, and acted like a bitch. One might take this as evidence that the character of Blair is less multifaceted than her Upper East Side comrades. But we think it's just the opposite: Her character is like the Hope Diamond. Unbreakable, and precious." (nymag recap)

gossip girl's back!

although i'll be mourning the end of the city for a few weeks, there is one silver lining on my gray television cloud, and that is the fact that gossip girl is finally back! i dont know what they think they were doing taking like a month off without telling me, but i'm just...so glad they're back.

that also means....more recaps!! this one is also from nymag. they really know what they're doing over there:

"Like a crocus poking out of the late-winter snow, last night's new episode of Gossip Girl was a welcome arrival to the cold and barren television landscape. As its petals slowly unfolded, it stirred the life that has lain dormant inside our souls since the show went on unexpected hiatus in February, and gave us a glimpse of colorful spring ahead. And how colorful it was! Last night's plot — the Constance Billard/St. Jude performance of The Age of Innocence — required everyone be dressed in ridiculous costumes (everyone except Jenny, Chuck, and Vanessa, who were not in the play, but who, let's face it, always wear ridiculous costumes). Blair was tragic and noble in black, while Serena was luminous in white, her creamy breasts nestled like eggs in the feathered Easter basket of her dress. Nelly Yuki was forced to wear a fat suit to play Mrs. Manson Mingott, and when Blair spat at her, "My problem is a two-faced, four-eyed devious little snipe in a fat suit!" it was like the first balmy spring breeze blew across our faces."

yessssssssssss.
