'Gossip Girl' to gather steam with celeb guests

Pinoy fans of Leighton Meester have a reason to rejoice now that the femme fatale is back via the third season of “Gossip Girl.”

Airing on ETC every Tuesday at 8 p.m., “Gossip Girl” continues the saga of privileged teenagers enmeshed in a tangled web of love, lust, deceit and, yes, gossip.
Meester as the ever-stunning Blair Waldorf, along with actors Blake Lively, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick who each reprises their roles in the hit series, go on with their story after they have graduated from high school.
A sneak peek at the first three “Gossip Girl” episodes held at Aquaknox Restaurant, Makati City on Sept. 22 show the same catty dialogs, fast-paced and engaging storyline and fashionable young ones as in previous seasons.

In the episode “Reversals of Fortune,” couple Chuck and Blair try to spice up their relationship by playing mind games. Blair’s ex-boyfriend, Nate, meanwhile, has a new love interest in the person of Bree Buckley.

The Humphreys spend their summer in the Hamptons, with Dan struggling to get the hang of their new-found, good life. Vanessa looks forward to seeing her best friend—albeit she is disturbed with the “change” in him—so she could introduce him to this “new guy” named Scott.
Serena captures the interest of the paparazzi and so scandalous pictures of her find their way to the tabloids.

All that happening in a single episode.
Yet some die-hard fans at the screening, thought the first few episodes of season 3 lack punch.
Marice Lupoy, moderator of Gossip Girl TV (a Multiply community), said, “It was just like any other episode. There’s nothing new and nothing really explosive.”

The guest celebrities in coming episodes of “Gossip Girl” season 3 such as Hilary Duff, Joanna Garcia, Tyra Banks, Tory Burch, Georgina Chapman and alternative granddaddy Sonic Youth are wont to change that notion as the season progresses.

“Gossip Girl”is based on Cecily von Ziegesar’s best-selling book series. The TV series had won several Teen Choice Awards in 2008 and 2009.
