Interesting since I’ve had my VCast phonethey’ve never added one on here before. See what happenes when V & D play a little game of “I never…”

If you’re a Gossip Girl fan and you have no objection to spending your Friday afternoon in a sea of teenage girls at a mall in New Jersey, you may want to take note of this: “Gossip Girl cast member Jessica Szohr will be appearing at the Mall at Short Hills, Short Hills NJ today at 5pm!

Come meet Jessica, Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley and designer Vivienne Tam! The Teen Vogue Haute Spot is a concept retail store in the Mall at Short Hills. It’s a place for girls to interact with various brands and themselves! See the hottest looks for Prom and test out the latest technology from HP including Vivienne Tam digital clutches and touch screen computers. Plus win a free HP digital clutch computer!”

So if you live in the New Jersey area and can make it definitely try! Jessica seems like a down-to-earth woman from everything we read and know about her on the outside and I’ve heard/read nothing but sweet things all around.

People had an article/interview up on ther site about Michelle Trachtenberg which you can read in full here. She also discusses co-stars fallin in love on the set of their hit shows which includes GG. So they mentioned Jessica & Ed, Leighton & Sebastian Stan as well as Blake Lively & Penn Badgley.

While Trachtenberg comes and goes on the Gossip Girl set (her character Georgina is currently serving time at a reform school after her shenanigans on the first season), some of her costars have fallen for each other. Are they drinking a love potion?

“I haven’t tasted or drank the love potion yet because I’m actually not dating anyone from the set,” Trachtenberg jokingly said. “But we all roll up with Red Bull in the morning, so maybe there is something in there.”

With Ed Westwick dating Jessica Szohr, Leighton Meester meeting boyfriend Sebastian Stan on the set and lovebirds Blake Lively and Penn Badgley still going strong, Trachtenberg admits it’s usually only a matter of time before costars to hook up.

“There’s bound to be love on and off camera because actors work closely on set together pulling 16 hours a day with each other,” Trachtenberg said. “You spend such close time with each other and everyone is really pretty and very attractive. People just tend to gravitate towards each other.”

Sorry for the downtime folks… something was wrong with two of my sites JSN and FRO.

I alerted my host and she reparked the domains but it took a little longer for the DNS to resolve here than Francia but we are back and up and running once more!

I will be updating new things to the gallery tonight in the form of caps from Jessica’s mini special with Dove & the real GG girls.

Remember Jessica will more than likely introduce their stories and maybe even narrate, not 100% sure. These girls are the real life version of Blair, Serena, Vanessa & Jenny.

I’ve updated the sidebar a little with new affiliates who were so kind to wait until the sidebar was in working order for me to add them. I know the sidebar has been working for awhile now but it’s quite different from the way I usually add affiliates so that’s why this site takes a little bit longer.

I also got the chance to add an amazing LJ Community for Jessica to the sidebar so make sure you go over and check it out. It would be best if you signed up fpr LJ (if you’re not a memeber) because some communities do add posts that are only for Friends to see!

It’s Official! Check out Jessica’s gorgeous shot for Dove – which is brought to you by StyleWatch a subdivision of People.com

As if she’s not busy enough with her starring role in Gossip Girl — and off-screen romance with costar Ed Westwick — Jessica Szohr is teaming up with Dove to host a series of mini-episodes that take you into a real-life version of those stylish young New Yorkers who inspired the show.

GOSSIP GIRL: Real NYC Stories Revealed, part of Dove’s go fresh campaign, will feature “inspirational stories from four real girls who have grown up on the Upper East Side of New York City,” and how they deal with careers, finances, success and relationships. And one added bonus of her newest role, she points out, is getting to try out all Dove’s newest products. Her favorite? “Dove go fresh Burst Body Wash because it’s so important for me to start my day off right.”

Overall, Jessica’s beauty philosophy falls in line with the Real Beauty concept that drew her to partner with Dove. “Less is certainly more when it comes to makeup for me,” she says. “When I am not working, I usually just rely on clean skin, soft skin then stick to the basics — foundation, powder and a great mascara.” But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to get glam. “I love Nars lip glosses,” she says, and “Stila Smudge pots do amazing things for your eyes.” Be sure to tune in on Monday to see Jessica’s teaser for GOSSIP GIRL: Real NYC Stories Revealed then stick around after the show on the 27th to see how Dove’s real Gossip Girls compare the show’s on-screen characters.

So we will have caps of maybe a intro Jessica might do to set the scene to reveal the GG: Real NYC Stories Revealed. You can click on the image and it’ll take you to the image in the gallery where you can pop out the full version of the picture. She looks so lovely.

UPDATE: I added a couple more images of Jessica shooting the special and promos.

We will be getting brand new episodes of Gossip Girl starting April 20, 2009! So that is less than one week away people! As you know already, I’ll be providing screencaps for you the night of or early morning that Tuesday so that they’ll all be added. I believe they’ll pick back up with Vanessa and Chuck in this episode but no stills have surfaced of Jessica/Vanessa in the episode.

So let’s hope that changes and I’ll be updating the site as news comes in!
