On this week’s Gossip Girl Serena caused a load of trouble and got away squeaky clean as per usual. She threw an impromptu rager, and worse, ruined her mom’s life by trumping her 3 week highschool relationship with poet-virgin Dan Humphrey over her mom’s undying 20 year love affair. Weak.

The Dan-Serena romance is starting to get annoying as it morphs into an Edith Wharton novel plus fashion, vodka and unapologetic product placement. On the other hand, the real-life relationship blossoming between Blake Lively and Penn Badgley is something we can stomach. The two are trying to keep things under wraps, but come on, if you’re playing the romantic leads on a CW teen drama, chances are you’ll be boning within days of the pilot.

We like these kids because they’ve teamed up with the CW to create environmental PSAs which give viewers incentive to go green. Maybe they’ll help out with the new local green incentive programs that have popping up; cities across the nation are offering residents financial rewards for green lifestyle changes. The message: small changes + minimal effort = mulah. Sounds good to us. Drizzler

Hello faithful beanSTOCKd readers, Greenehorne here.

Spotted: casting fliers for the reality version our favorite prime-time teen soap since the OC.

“Are you the real Gossip Girl? Maybe an adorable Seth Cohen (The O.C.) prepster who hates TV? Either way, we’d love to chat with you. We’re looking for NYC prep-schoolers for a reality show [to air on] a major youth-oriented network.”

Hmm…the networks desperately want to fill the void left by the writers’ strike. No wonder they take every other week off. But I feel this plan may not work out for the mystery network. Blue-blood Manhattan could never be the next Laguna Beach. For one thing Upper Eastside mummies and daddies may find little Parker and Brooke’s performing for the cameras too gauche. Who knows what dirty secrets may come out; whose acceptance to Dartmouth may be jeopardized.

But more importantly, will these future reality TV starlets promote green lifestyles like their fictitious peers? We loved watching D. cancel his subscription to the baby ninja puppy catalogue. His sacrifice helped save the 62 million trees destroyed each year to make catalogues. Brooklyn boy is such a do-gooder.

And who am I? That’s one secret I’ll never tell.

You know you love me.

xoxo Greenhorne

This may be complete nonsense, but Chace Crawford could be playing the field behind Carrie Underwood’s back. Again, we warn you, this has a 90% chance of being complete bollocks, but if you don’t mind playing second fiddle: Chace Crawford is kind of on the market!

Crawford was recently spotted getting it with soap opera jail bait Leven Rambin at another one of our favorite NYC endroits, the Beatrice Inn. Then, he hooked up with GG co-star Leighton Meister. Double-dipping in one night? If it’s true, then high five, bro!

If it’s not true? Then props to monogamy, I guess. Monogamy, in fact, has a positive environmental impact. According to the National Academy of Sciences, a married household uses resources more efficiently. Divorce and break ups mean the split up and increase of energy, water and other household consumption. Though living the player lifestyle is always respectable, we’re hoping that Chace and Carrie are going steady…for the sake of the environment, ofc. Drizzler

The resemblance is uncanny

Gossip Girl just keeps getting better. Reasons why this week’s episode made it on our radar again:

1. Most of the episode took place in one of our favorite NYC venues: The Box

2. This episode was chock full o’ sex. Like every other scene was sex. Sweeeet.

3. Chuck swiping Blair’s v-card in the limo ride home. Who saw that one coming?! It’s like that time Voldemort raped Harry.

4. If you were watching online, those Victoria’s Secret new bra ads where the rexy Australian chick (in a “witty” limerick) rhymes the word ‘air’ with the word ‘air’. Nice. Guess poetic skills don’t matter when your boobs and ribs are all out.

5. Blair saying “I’ve got moves…,” getting up on stage, removing her headband seductively and touching her shoulder. And Chuck totally getting off on that.

6. That massive Archibald family ring. We’d love to add that bling to our already heavily bejeweled fingers, but only if it’s conflict-free, eco-friendly, and set in Green Gold, meaning that the mining technique used actually reverses the ecosystem damage caused by large-scale mining. Green Gold = locally managed mines that use no toxic chemicals, reforestation, and ensure profit is pumped back into the community.

And this Green Gold always looks tip top with an Eleanor Waldorf ensemble and a painful Blair-Nate encounter. Drizzler

Omagod I can’t tell the difference

Is anyone a bit disturbed/excited about how Chace Crawford, who you may know as Blair’s prepster boyf in Gossip Girl, is a blatant Zac Efron lookalike?

Chace Crawford (left), who we foresee becoming TV’s latest heartthrob, looks like Efron + 10 years - 3 pounds of makeup. Who’s the hotter twin? We’re pulling for Crawford, but Efron stepped it up by taking a green limo to the 2007 Teen Choice awards.

What we’re wondering is, how did Aaron Carter manage to weasel his way onto the show? Kandz
