Gossip Girl writer and executive producer Josh Safran is expected to take over for Theresa Rebeck, the Broadway veteran who created Smash. He’s been with the soapy CW drama since its first season, slowly working his way up from consulting producer to co-executive producer to executive producer.
How do you think this’ll affect both Smash and GG?

Who’s that lady shaking hands with Serena van der Woodsen? Why, none other than Cecily von Ziegesar, the woman who wrote the wildly popular YA series on which Gossip Girl is based. The author is apparently appearing as herself in GG’s fourth season finale, which airs tonight.
So, wait… do the Gossip Girl books exist in the TV world of Gossip Girl? Is the universe collapsing in on itself??
Gossip Girl recapper Tim Stack has had about enough of this soap’s twists and turns: “ I could not be more exhausted from trying to figure out all the various complications from last night’s episode of Gossip Girl,” he wrote yesterday. “Frankly, I’m worn out.”
But at least the show has also raised one question that should be easy to answer: Which of these three square-jawed studs should Blair end up with?
We’ve made it to the Sweet 16! Here’s who’s still in the game:
Ross and Rachel (Friends) vs. Derek and Meredith (Grey’s Anatomy)
Marshall and Lily (How I Met Your Mother) vs. Chandler and Monica (Friends)
Damon and Elena (The Vampire Diaries) vs. Buffy and Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Kurt and Blaine (Glee) vs. Chuck and Blair (Gossip Girl)
Veronica and Logan (Veronica Mars) vs. Desmond and Penny (Lost)
The Doctor and Rose (Doctor Who) vs. Cliff and Clair (The Cosby Show)
Darrin and Samantha (Bewitched) vs. Howard and Marion (Happy Days)
Gomez and Morticia (The Addams Family) vs. Lucy and Ricky (I Love Lucy)
Whether you think Gossip Girl went out with a bang or a whimper, we can all agree on one thing: Blair’s wedding dress was flawless. Here’s our recap of the GG series finale.
Congratulations, notexactly—you’ve won the Internet.
For the uninitiated, here’s Dan’s New Yorker-published poem (from the Gossip Girl books, not the TV show):

Spotted: Two Brooklynites who won’t be returning as series regulars on Gossip Girl next season. Adios, Vanessa and Jenny; we won’t miss you. The gap left by their absence will be filled by Kaylee DeFer, who plays Serena’s kinda crazy cousin Charlie; she’s being bumped up to series regular.
The six of you who still watch Gossip Girl are in for a treat tonight – at least, if you’re Dair fans. Blair and Dan are finally going to get down and dirty, only to find that they’re not quite compatible between the sheets. But according to executive producer Jonathan Safran, “The fun of this story is how they try to overcome” this stumbling block. Get more scoop – and see an exclusive clip of tonight’s episode – at Inside TV.
Happy Gossip Girl Day, everyone! Yes, that exists now.
Eventually, Lily decided to put Serena in the Center on an involuntary basis – and she topped off the punishment by making Serena wear a chunky, unattractive (albeit cozy-looking) green sweater. Yeah, mom really had it out for her
