Remember when Gabe used to recap Gossip Girl? That was the best! I’m upset that he stopped because I, who started watching BECAUSE of the recaps, was forced to continue watching Gossip Girl because of how I realized that it is Television’s Best Show. OMG it is so good. Did you guys see the finale? !!! Chuck! Let’s not get into it. What we’re talking about right now is how Nate has submitted himself for the “Lead Actor in a Drama” Emmy category. Classic Nate! Just kidding, that’s not really classic Nate. Classic Nate would be to give a mostly blank but vaguely disapproving look and then call Dan and uncharacteristicly suggest playing videogames. That guy does not care about videogames! And more to the point, that guy is not a lead actor in Gossip Girl! It’s as if Joey submitted himself as lead actor in Friends. Chandler and Ross maybe, but Joey? Definitely not Joey. But this brings up an important and pressing question that ALL the blogs will certainly be asking today: Who IS Gossip Girl‘s lead actor?
Is it Dan?
Is it Dan’s dad?
Is it Bing.com?
Is it Wallace Shawn?
Is it a champagne flute?
Is it Chuck? (Yes.)
Is it Carter Baizen?
Is it Sonic Youth?
Is it the prince nobody cares about who Blair is engaged to?
Is it Gilt Groupe?
Is it Jack Bass?
Is it Vitamin Water?
Is it Eric?
Is it Jay McInerney?
Is it William Baldwin?
Or is it cellphones?
Important questions and decisions!

Dorota’s equally stereotypical husband.
It’s Bing.com.
But seriously, I don’t watch this show–even though I obviously should because no duh–but I hate Ed Westwick’s stupid face so much. It’s really dumb!
It is kind of dumb! But I like looking at it anyway.
That’s fair.
THANK you, I sometimes feel kind of alone in hating that stupid face. Look at it!
It’s a tight race between the martini and the bottle of vodka in the background
Definitely Vitamin Water.
But in all seriousness, Penn Badgley is clearly supposed to be the main dude on the show, even if his character is pretty much the worst person who ever lived (besides Vanessa).
and Jenny
I would definitely vote Jenny as “worst” over Vanessa any day. It’s too bad Vanessa is kind of a jerk, her actress is so pretty~!
Seriously why do they ugly up Vanessa so much? Jessica Szhor is gorgeous!
I think Vanessa is worse than Jenny because Jenny just doesn’t give a fuck that she’s a terrible person, whereas Vanessa thinks of herself as a moral paragon.
Good point.
Still, Jessica is so pretty. (Gossip Girl can’t judge me for being shallow, it definitely has the monopoly on that!!)
As I’ve never seen even an Access Hollywood preview clip of this series I’m just going to assume it’s about a teenage girl who starts a gossip column during her first year of high school and then has to deal with the repercussions of the major scoops she digs up (hope she has an army of raisins). At least that’s what the first season would involve. By season eight she’d be in college and helping her best friend deal with drug issues and not knowing if she should date Gaim (pronounced ‘Guy-im’) the academic with a hazy past or Lukaah (pronounced ‘Luka’) the academic turned criminal with a shady past. Right? Am I close at all? I’m close.
The sexual tension between Dan and Nate is Gossip Girl’s leading actor.
So true! Remember when they had that talk about how they hugged too much?
That was so erotic.
Sometimes I get all worked up about trivial things at work or home and then I realize there are real problems like who is the lead actor in Gossip Girls. My problems don’t seem so big anymore.
It’s probably Kristen Bell’s terrible fucking voice every time she tries to convey that she has discovered a ‘scandalous’ and ground breaking secret.
“Scandalous” – Recess
I would like to add that I only like kristen bell as Uda Bengt. #PartyDownF0r3v4!1!
Watch Veronica Mars
Watch Veronica Mars
This cannot be repeated enough times
Watch Veronica Mars!
Downvotes for V Mars! Aaron Echolls, is that you?
This post is a gold mine! Full of possibly unpopular opinions I agree with! Ok, two of them. And both of them involve Gossip Girl. So this means I have *opinions* about *Gossip Girl*. Gross, self.
TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK NOW!
what to do….. oh, I know!
Your a h8r!
nailed it.
I’m going with Wallace Shawn but that is just because Wallace Shawn is the best and I think he deserves as many Emmys as we can possibly throw at him.
I think we should hand them to him and not throw them at him, that would hurt to have little metal statutes thrown at you
I’m just happy there’s a Gossip Girl post on Videogum again. Gossip Girl recaps: NEVER FORGET.
Kelly is like my Videogum District Representative, because she talks about the ISSUES that MATTER to ME. (And it’s Vitamin Water JK it’s Eric JAYKAAAYY like that show would have a gay storyline worth following despite the fact that it’s set on the island where the rest of America put its BEST gays JK there are gay people everywhere and they are ALL THE BEST!)
This post is the best. I miss Gossip Girl recaps so much. Come back, recaps! Jenny is gone! It’s safe now.
To the question at hand, it’s obviously Chuck and selfish impulse decisions. In a perfect world it would be Wallace Shawn though. Every one of his lines is perfect!
Hi Kelly, will you write Gossip Girl recaps? I haven’t seen all of the last season, but I assume it will be back next year.
GASP that is a brilliant idea. Kelly, this summer you can catch everyone up on Gossip Girl where Gabe left off! Yes? Yes.
Yes.
Yes Yes.
YUP!
YES
THIS can’t be repeated enough. The few episodes I saw of this season were Bonkers. I need Gabe to watch the plot with the jailed teacher so we can all enjoy his horror.
y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y/y?
It’s definitely not Nate. He WOULD submit himself. He was probably stoned out of his droopy eyeballs when he did it. He’s in jail, right? Almost in jail? Whatever. He was barely around this season. He’s the worst.
It’s not Chuck. He’s a supporting actor. As in the part of the story he’s involved with supports the whole show in continuing to be on the air. But again, not the lead.
The lead actor is Dan. I don’t know if anyone else suggested this, but if so, we’re all correct.
Also, there is nobody more suited to recap GG than you Kelly. I say this in regards to the “AHHHHHH!!” text messages I would receive after you watched an episode.
JACK BASS! Oh my god it is totally JACK BASS.
It’s Jack Bass’s silly facial hair.
I take that back….I am beginning to think it is really the ghost of Bart Bass.
No no no, it’s the bar at Daniel. Best bar in NYC.
Kelly, before this post I was of the mindset that videogum didn’t really need another writer but fine, if it needs to have one, Kelly seems pretty great. I considered you a nice, if perhaps needless, addition.
But after this glorious post? How did we live without you! You’re amazing! You’ve got just enough of Gabe’s attitude that we all know we’re still reading videogum but you’ve really been bringing lots more different stuff to the blog-table as well! I’m so glad you’re here! I eagerly await more posts from you. I like your style, girl!
(ps, I’m sorry if you’re not a girl. I know a man named Kelly. Also maybe you are female but prefer to be called a woman. I’m going through a transition where I have to consciously refer to myself as woman rather than girl. If you are also going through that transition and I just knocked your progress back a step, I apologize.)
Thank you! I am a girl!
I fucking hate this fucking show.
(but Gabe’s recaps were the best. Rape Afterparty!)
One time I watched this show and became a woman. True story.
You forgot David O. Russell. You know, from that scene where Serena gets a job with him because she’s read a book. This is now how I understand job hirings to work. That’s how they work RIGHT???
