Confession time. One of my guilty pleasures is watching Gossip Girl. I know it isn’t the most cerebral TV show but it sure does get you once you start watching. If you don’t know what I mean then don’t start watching even a single episode unless you want to get hooked. If you’re already hooked, then you obviously know what I mean.
So what brought about my confession? Hillary Duff.
I have never been a Hillary Duff fan and was even turned off with her mouthing off against Faye Dunaway, even if Faye Dunaway kind of deserved it. From where I come from there’s something called respecting your elders.
Anyway Hillary Duff is going to be on Gossip Girl. According to EW, “The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it’s safe to say she’ll be majoring in Drama!” As for the confession it seems that Duff is a fan of the show and her favorite character is Chuck Bass. I guess we do have something in common. There’s just something about Chuck Bass that makes me watch Gossip Girl. Maybe it’s as Hillary Duff said, “I don’t know why, because he’s so bad and terrible. He is so sad that I feel bad for him.” So come fall we’ll be seeing Hillary Duff aka Olivia Burke but we’ll have to wait and see if her character will be into Chuck Bass as she is or some other guy.
Benjamin Bratt’s top rating drama The Cleaner has been picked up for a second season.
The A&E Network has renewed the series that tells the story of William Banks who, with his unconventional team, tries to save people from their addictions whatever it takes.
The thirteen episodes that will comprise the second season will premiere next year.
I haven’t heard anything new from David E. Kelley so I was thrilled to read that he has signed on with NBC to do a legal drama.
The new show will reportedly be about a father and a daughter, both of whom are lawyers.
This new series will be Kelley’s first with NBC. Most of his shows have either been with ABC or with Fox.
Kelley also had success at CBS in the mid-1990s, with “Chicago Hope” and “Picket Fences.”
Here we go again… fresh rumors of a Veronica Mars movie. But aha, now there seems to be real basis… and not, say, the speculation of bored fans.
