Gossip Girl Continues Filming (photos)

The cast of Gossip Girl were spotted out in New York filming the newest season. Might I say that Hilary Duff is looking OMG good in that bandage style dress? Who knew that was beneath the girl next door??

But the BIG Scoop on the next season? Ed Westwick is filming a gay kissing scene!! Apparently his character, Chuck Bass, gets smoochie with actor Neal Bledsoe.

Bledsoe reportedly plays an NYU administrator who is looking for a student to give the freshman speech. Leighton Meester’s character, Blair Waldorf, reportedly sets Bass up with him to boost her chances at getting the gig.

The Chuck Bass character had flings with men and women in the Gossip Girl books by Cecily von Ziegesar, but this will be his first gay encounter on the show.

Nothing like being a pimp to further your career. Ah yeah that’s what I remember from college. Setting my friends up with administrators to get great padding on my resume. That and charging the professors for dates with my roommate. Hey a girl’s got to do right?

Is anyone really “shocked” by a gay kiss at this point on TV? Especially from a show like Gossip Girl? I’m sure the “outrage” that is due to come will only fuel more viewers. Just like it did when the OMFG ads came out.
