Gossip Girl Fever

A world without borders where the martini water, schools catwalk, and $ 10,000 are just one bag and a pair of shoes? More than perfect, is not it? Gossip Girl epidemic has spread across all continents for a very short time, which was expected because it represents everything that we want in secret. A credit card with no limit, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Chanel suits, Gucci shoes, limousines and the best New York nightclubs. It makes all the everyday life of the main characters of the television series. Manhattan in New York elite handful of children.


The series begins with the return of the mysterious'' it'' girl Serena van der Vudsen (Serena van der Woodsen) (Blake Lively) from their studies abroad and questions why does the left, not to mention missing. Serene arrival to school and viewers have the opportunity to enter into the life of the main characters. First, we meet Blair Waldorf (Blair Waldorf) (Leighton Meester), Serena's best friend, but at the same time and the greatest rival, the queen of the social scene of Manhattan. Blair and Serena clash because of Serena's past mistakes, Blerina passionate night with longtime boyfriend Nate Archibald (Nate Archibald) (Chace Crawford), the golden boy, proud parents. Its the opposite of his best friend Even Bass (Chuck Bass) (Ed Westwick) and those tumultuous womanizer temperament, which is the only thing that makes parents proud. The series is completed by Jenny Humphrey (Jenny Humphrey) (Taylor Momsen), the daughter of a former rock musician, who by all means trying to fit into society of young rich snobbish and her older brother, Dan Humphrey (Dan Humphrey) (Penn Badgley), which links the with Serena enters a society that believes it does not belong.

The series follows a series of love stories, which seems to have no end. But it seems that Sparks fly and the sets Gossip Girl's. Vestvik Ed (Ed Westwick) (Chuck) and Jessica Sor (Jessica Szohr) (Vanessa) are related since 2008. When they met on the set. Their relationship and somewhat resembles the scenario gossips. Although currently still together, their relationship was turbulent because Jessica enjoys flirting, and knows that sometimes gets carried away and overdo. In May 2010. Ed left Jessica for fraud with his close friend, but soon forgave her and since then have been united again. Looks like Ed, and even, when she finds true love is unconditional.


Another famous couple were Mister Leighton (Leighton Meester) and Sebastian Stan (Sebastian Stan) (which appears in several episodes in the role of Carter (Carter) who have been together since they were introduced by April 2010. Lleyton when he decided to end the this relationship is understood that it is not for her. Fans were disappointed because there were rumors that they were engaged, and the wedding soon followed, but none of that.


However, the most stable couple were Blake Lively (Blake Lively) (Serena) and Penn Badge (Penn Badgley) (Day) who have been together since 2007, although the first year of hiding the link. Penn and Blake broke up in October 2010. but remained on friendly terms. Let's hope that these relations are not as friendly to Gossip Girl-in. Blake is currently dating a famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio (Leonardo DiCaprio)


Chase Crawford (Chace Crawford) and Taylor Momsen (Taylor Momsen) were seen kissing, but Chase has all the gossip ignored. It seems that Taylor has no more luck in love with the older boys from a small Jenny. Yet Chase's older than her seven years.

By the way, Connor Paolo (Connor Paolo), in the series - Erik van der Vudsen (Eric van der Woodsen), despite numerous rumors gay only in the series, which was confirmed by kissing a girl at the Step Up Women's Network's 10th Annual Inspiration Awards . Worshipers, however, can be relieved only an extraordinary actor. Connor said in an interview that the character Erika was a challenge and believes that Eric's sexual orientation is a way of life, not something bad.

This series stands out from other first class fashion. Always impeccably dressed Blair and her friends dictate new trends in fashion, and it is responsible for the stylist Dejmen Erik (Eric Daman). What is a day on the runway, but the next day it will wear on the set of Gossip Girl's. No wonder they call them the style icon and as this series has become a significant factor in the fashion world.

Starring in the series are actress and became the trademark glamor and style, and the most famous designers started the great battle over who will be the face of any brand. Blake has already started working for the Channel, and Karl Lagerfeld is absolutely thrilled. Taylor Momsen is working for John Galliano (John Galliano) and the cover face of Madonna's Material Girl fashion line. Leighton Mister advertises a new scent Vera Wong (Vera Wang), Lovestruck. It seems that these girls are currently on top of the world.


I like that this series is not spicy itself, occasionally spiced with guest appearances of celebrities like Lady Gaga (Lady Gaga), Hilary Duff (Hilary Duff) and Gwen Stefani (Gwen Stefani).

Until now recorded four seasons of the series. Filming the fifth season began in July, and producer Josh Safran (Josh Safran) promises that the new season will be happier and more interesting. Fans are eagerly awaiting the new season, but will it be the same Gossip Girl we are used to? By first showing will reveal a few details. Specifically, it was announced that the fifth season of Taylor Momsen (Jenny) and Jessica Sor (Vanessa) only appear in some episodes, as guests of the series and will no longer belong to the main post. Crush that occurred between Dan and Blair are flaring up even more. Vanessa will publish a book of Genoa, which contains all the secrets of life, and it will remove Dan from the others. But the biggest news is the unexpected pregnancy of Blair Waldorf and the question, which is whether a child? Čakovo or ...? To learn everything, you still have to be patient until 26 September, when the fifth season will begin to premiere in America. Until then ... You know you love me. Xo, xo, Gossip Girl.

An August 2007 survey by OTX, a global media research and consulting firm, placed the show on the list of top ten new shows that viewers were aware of.

Gossip Girl's digital video recorder ratings were high, increasing the show's profitability and the show had also been in the top five of iTunes sales.

Author Cecily von Ziegesar has expressed support for the show, noting that all of her major plot points were present in the pilot. The second episode in which the characters are shown to be attending a Brunch gained some approval from New York Magazine, stating that "there's no such thing as 'lunch' on the weekends", "that kids actually do venture outside of their neighborhoods" (since The New York Palace Hotel is at Midtown Manhattan), and "saying you live in Williamsburg makes much more sense... for real-estate emotional conflict", plus the fact Rihanna is played "in every situation." Gossip Girl was designated the "Best. Show. Ever." in April 2008, by NY Magazine. Other positive reviews came from publications Variety and the Boston Globe. John Maynard of The Washington Post feel that creator Josh Schwartz "turns it up a notch" from his former series The O.C., and noted Dan (Penn Badgley) as a standout character. Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the show for its use of "Gossip Girl"'s blog as a new media element noting "there's a chance to tell a story where the Greek chorus essentially has a blog."

The show has come under criticism for containing scenes too risqué for its teen audience. The Parents Television Council has shown particular criticism of the series, especially with its "OMFG" ad campaign used towards the end of the season in April 2008. It also named the episode "Victor, Victrola" the worst television program of the week in which the episode originally was broadcast. The Parents Council's negative comments include it being "the most-watched show among girls 12-17 and glamorizes casual sex and drug use among teens. [And that] storylines have featured a would-be teen rapist, threesome among teens, and teenage girls having sex with adults." Scott D. Pierce of the Deseret Morning News noted that the show is milder than a lot of what's shown on MTV, but still warned parents of several scenes in the pilot. He said it includes "among other things, a teenage girl climbing on top of a boy and removing his clothes; drunken teens having sex; teens smoking pot; teens drinking in bars, in a limo and at a party; a teen boy getting amorous with a girl who fights him off; and that same teen boy essentially attempting to rape a freshman girl who is supposed to be, what, 14?".

The series has also been criticized for having less-than believable storylines and has been described as a guilty pleasure rather than an hour's worth of must-watch television
