As our girl Tracy posted in Daily Blabber this morning, Blake Lively and Penn Badgely, who play boyfriend and girlfriend on Gossip Girl, have officially been outed for dating in real life too.

People Magazine snapped exclusive pics of Serena and Dan Blake and Penn making out on a romantic trip to Mexico, and now that the cat's out of the bag, their TV dad is weighing in on the romance.

Matthew Settle, who plays Dan's dad Rufus on the show, first told People,  "In real life, Penn rolls with the punches better than anybody ... I don't think he needs any advice."

He also thinks that us fans out there are going to go crazy over the duo. (How right is he?!)  "I think people are going to love them as a couple... They're a very hot couple. They look good together. And I think they're good for each other, so why not?"

Time for an intervention

Serena’s missing. She didn’t come home last night and neither Georgina nor Dan can get a hold of her. Vanessa is helping out Rufus and his band. We’re about to see the rocker play a real show. Nate arrives, and there’s hope they’ll actually go on a real date before he gets a call and says he’ll be right there.

Across town, Dan goes to find Serena and asks Chuck if he’s seen her. Chuck also gets a mysterious call and is on his way. Dan is left out of the loop. Chuck and Nate meet up in the elevator at Blair’s. The awkwardness of the three of them uniting to help their friend is slightly amusing.

Blair and Little J are still battling for control of the popularity crown. Now with her new boyfriend, Jenny has a slight edge—especially since she and Asher are throwing a huge bash for everyone tonight. Eric gets upset when the two of them are making out, and he tells her he has a weird feeling about Asher. She thinks he just has a crush on her, but really: what is his deal? Does he know something about this guy?

Georgina a.k.a. Sarah chats up Vanessa. Apparently Dan and V have sort of adopted her. Since when did they all become such fast friends? Dan’s been talking to her about Serena and they agree the girls should meet. Michelle Trachtenberg reminds me so much of Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions.

She’s Baaaaack….

‘Tis the season for SATs and everyone has their own methods for passing. Some study, some pay off stand-ins, some don’t worry. Chuck has done some research for Serena on Georgina. According to him, she’s far away—and that’s a little disappointing since Georgina apparently brought out the devil in Serena. Clearly, he at least knows a little about her past. Just when Serena thinks she has nothing to worry about, Georgina shows up as “the ghost of parties past.”

Blair is still playing hardball with little J to win back the girls. She is hosting a spa/study session that night. The girls pick her. That’s all right; J’s new plan is to find a king to complement her when she takes over as queen. So far all she’s spotted is a dog-walker.

Hey gang, Gossip Girl is back! Have you seen the new ads? OMFG. Well, okay, things weren’t that hot tonight, but no doubt they will be soon.

Things started off with Blair in a Breakfast at Tiffany’s re-creation; only instead of Audrey Hepburn chasing after her cat it’s Blair… or Jenny? Nate steps out from behind a corner and calls her Jenny. This must be a nightmare. B wakes up and has to face the wreckage of her life since she was dethroned as Queen Bee before spring break.

Jenny is trying desperately to fit in with her new crowd (a.k.a. Blair’s old crowd), and it’s obvious she’s out of her league. She went to Aspen with Hazel, she owes $120 for brunch already, and the label-speak is just lost on her. How will she ever keep up?

Good afternoon, Gossip Girl fans!

When Gossip Girl returns to the CW on Monday, April 21 at 8 p.m., you better watch it, or at least record it. You see, the CW will no longer be streaming new full episodes of Gossip Girl.

If for some reason you do miss an episode, they will repeat on Sundays at 6 p.m. Aside from that, your only other options are to wait for the DVD or to purchase the episodes on iTunes.

So, if you're a real Gossip Girl lover, show your support for the teen-filled drama, and make sure to watch it on Monday nights.

XOXO, Gossip Girl

Good evening, iVillagers. Your TV Cocktail Waitress here.

Do you remember when Seinfeld made the Soup Nazi famous? Well now our elite class of friends—Chuck and Serena—have had the same effect on grilled cheese.

Remember in the pilot episode when Chuck ordered Serena a truffle grilled cheese sandwich? Well that sandwich was served by chef Christopher Lee, a real chef who works at the real restaurant Gilt. And now Lee has added that sandwich to his menu, and at the suggestion of Gossip Girl actors Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, it's called "The Gossip Grill - 'You Know You Love It.'"

However, we have a special treat so you can now make this gossip-worthy sandwich yourself. Check out Secret Sauce for the recipe.

XOXO, Your TV Cocktail Waitress

Here's the gossip on the CW's frosh drama, Gossip Girl. Rumor has it that the CW has given the show a full-season pick up on account of how awesome it is and it being one of the the most popular shows on itunes.

I love this show. I love the sex, I love the drama and I love Penn Badgley . No guy in my high school looked like him. Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy if they just ordered five more seasons right now. It is so much better than The O.C.

Oh yeah, I said it.

Did you watch the Gossip Girl premiere last night??? Are you hooked on Serena van der Woodsen and her ex-BFF Blair Waldorf yet? Do you think the show really does have the potential to be this year's O.C.? Tell me what you thought below. I'm dying to talk about it!

P.S. Love Penn Badgley who plays Dan Humphrey -- so cute!
