Based on the teen novels by Cecily Von Ziegesar, the utterly addictive Gossip Girl follows the lives and loves of a group of rich New York teens. When the privileged prep school teens on Manhattan\'s Upper East Side first learn that Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) is back in town the way they learn all the important news in their lives: from the blog of the all-knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl. No one knows Gossip Girl\'s identity, but everyone in this exclusive and complicated vicious circle relies on her website and text messages for the latest scoop. Even Serena\'s closest friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester, Entourage), is surprised to find that Serena has suddenly ended her self-imposed exile to boarding school and returned to Manhattan. Keeping track of the shifting friendships, jealousies and turmoil in this wealthy and complex world isn\'t easy, but it\'s what Gossip Girl does best.
