Sweeps = California Lesbians & Upper East Side Threeways

Looky here. What is this? Ms Claire Bennett - the girl with miraculous powers of regeneration - appears to be going through her totally cliched "experimental phase" in college. Everyone's fave cheerleader from the former-hit show Heroes - is going to lock lips with a girl in next week's episode. And the powers that be at NBC have been flashing this photo around to whoever will post it on the interwebs. All in the hopes of luring some viewers back. I am sorry - even a fleeting lesbian storyline isn't gonna bring me back.

I am more interested with who Claire (aka Haydn Panetierre) is making out with ......Do you recognise her? That is none other than Madeleine Zima - originally from the The Nanny - but more recently as the underage girl who punched David Duchovny in the face while f*cking him (in Californication.... probably not in real life).

Can you say cheap stunt? You ain't seen nothing yet friends. The CW has just blown that little faux-lesbian stunt out of the water...

On the Upper East Side, Gossip Girl has some shocking! Scandalous! Titillating! news to share. According to EW.com, the November 9th episode will feature a little menage a trois action. No definitive word on who the lucky threesome will be..... but apparently it is 3 "major" characters.

There are a list potential threesomes on the EW.com site.....

Chuck/Blair/Nate

Chuck/Blair/Josh

Chuck/Blair/Dorota

Nate/Bree/Carter

Serena/Carter/Georgina

Serena/Dan/Blair

Vanessa/Dan/Olivia

Georgina/Dan/Olivia

Rufus/Lily/Serena's daddy

Okay..... so Olivia (Hilary Duff) is not gonna happen. And I really can't see bland Dan getting wild in any way shape or form. And Serena & Georgina = mortal enemies (which would make it super hot, but Michelle Trachtenberg is on another show so would she just f*ck and run?)

My money is on Chuck Bass. Probably Chuck-Blair-Josh. Chase Crawford (Nate) is be too scared his raging hard on for ex-roommate Ed Westwick would be seen by everyone to allow the writers to put him in a bed with Chuck and Blair. I actually wish it was a Little J/Chuck/Blair situation.... but considering there was that whole mauling of innocent, vulnerable Jenny Humphrey by the big bad Chuck Bass in the pilot.... I don't think that is gonna happen.

Oh did I mentions sweeps is coming up? Ugh. Cheap tricks and lame stunts do not make a show good.

Sarah Michelle Gellar - doting dog owner

A few quick snaps of Sarah Michelle Gellar taking her beloved dog to it's weekly vet visit. She seems like such a devoted dog owner, I can't imagine how amazing she is going to be as a mother! Any day now I think! So excited for her and Freddy.

I also found these photos of her Baby Shower that was held earlier this month. It looked like a fun time was had by all. Co star Michelle Trachetenberg was there, as were friends Shannen Doherty, Kristen Chenoweth and good friend Lindsay Sloane. SMG looks super happy and excited about her mommy-to-be status. Can't wait until she pops her precious bundle of joy out!

I am happy that she is still friends with Michelle, who played her little sister on Buffy. I didn't know she was such good friend with either Kristen or Shannen. How amazing would it have been if Kristen had sang at the shower? She has a great voice!

Hilary Duff heading to the Upper East Side

Lizzie McGuire is joining the cast of Gossip Girl this fall - one of my fave guilty pleasures. Debuting in October for a multi-episode arc, Hilary will play a movie star who in an attempt to have a normal college experience, ends up room mates with Vanessa (Jessica Szhor). I am expecting some form of dramarama to ensue

Hmmmm. This could be good. But with the whole Georgina Sparks cliffhanger at the end of last season, does Gossip Girl really need another chick in the mix - even if it is only for a few episodes. It would be nice to see some more testosterone on the show - unless it means less screen time for my dirrty man, Ed. Anything that takes away screen time from Mr Chuck Bass is bad.

With Hilary joining the cast the possibility of a Partridge Family style musical extravaganza increases even more. Leighton Meester (Blair) has an album coming out in the fall, Ed Westwick is in a Punk Band called The Dirty Youth and even Little J (Taylor Momsen) is showing her versatility as a performer with her band The Pretty Reckless opening for Aussie group The Veronicas this summer. Below is Leighton's single with Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad. Be warned, this song in amazingly addictive. Not necessarily amazing, but it is super super addictive. Enjoy! I am sure it is not as exciting as her rumoured sex tape. Isn't it convenient that the sex tape came out weeks before this single? Convenient & Interesting.
