Spreading It Thick

Aren't all blogs a gossip center of some sort? Whether we're talking about products, discussing other bloggers, or things that happen in our daily lives, we all are gossiping in some way. I know I've been guilty of blog gossip before on a couple of my blogs. Most of that gossip dealt with my personal life, friends, and family, but some of it has also been about other bloggers. A lot of us choose to spill it to our blogs instead of gossiping to our friends.

Blogs and gossip are two key features of a new tv series Gossip Girl on The CW. Gossip Girl is a new drama centered around teenagers and based on the novels of Cecily Von Ziegesar. The show centers around the lives of a bunch of teenagers in New York, specifically the Upper East Side who deal with teenage issues including sex and drugs while attending an elite school of some sort. The show is created by Joshua Schwartz who also created The O.C., and Stephanie Savage.

What's so interesting about this new teen drama? While the show mainly deals with the lives of two best friends, Serena and Blair, and their crush on the same guy, Nate, the series is actually narrated by "Gossip Girl", a blogger who uses her blog to gossip about the other teens to keep rivalries stirring and the gossip spreading. "Gossip Girl" is voiced by Kristin Bell, and she keeps the flames of gossip burning while she continues to anonymously blog about the inner circle of these friendships. It wouldn't be much fun if her friends found out she was the one dishing the dirt would it?

Gossip Girl airs September 19th on CW, and I think it's going to be a show a lot of teenagers will tune into. Check out the Gossip Girl widget below to get a sneak peak for yourself.
