Gossip Guys

Spotted: Gay men everywhere getting a weekly dose of sex, backstabbing and bad behavior. . . thanks to a precocious set of high school kids. Since its premiere a year ago, The CW’s buzzed-about show Gossip Girl — based on the series of books following the sordid lives of NYC prep-school teens — has had us putting away our Mean Girls and Cruel Intentions DVDs in favor of this fresh generation of rich bitches.

With the first season DVD out August 19, catch up on — or relive — all the things that kept us tuned in: The eye candy (Penn Badgley and Chace Crawford: sigh), the same-sex subplots (one of the teens comes out!), and our favorite, the venomous dialogue between queen bees Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester): “I always knew you were a whore,” Blair snipes at her frenemy, channeling Intentions’ evil Sarah Michelle Gellar. “I never took you for a liar, too.”

It’s all chronicled by never-seen blogger Gossip Girl — the velvet-voiced Kristen Bell — whose deliciously campy narration makes the drama (think death, blackmail and lots of bed-hopping) that much juicier. “Revenge — we hear it’s best served cold,” GG purrs at one point. “Who’s hungry?” Our appetite for this is insatiable.


Gossip Girl - The Complete First Season will be released August 19 on DVD from Warner Home Video. The second season will premiere September 1 on The CW.
