It had been rumored Badgley was close to signing to portray the musician and had beaten an eager Robert Pattinson to the role.

The first day of the Coachella Festival in California was a star-studded affair on Friday - and it had little to do with the acts onstage.

Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley recently caught up with Conde Nast Traveler and shared some thoughts on his recent travels with the magazine.

"The landscape in Iceland was intimidating and brutal: geysers, waterfalls, billion-year-old moss-covered lava, " he says of his trip to the island nation.

"And Reykjavík's nightlife is just as wild. At Prikid bar, they played great American hip-hop, served shot after shot of a licorice liquor called Topaz, and treated me as if I were the entire cast of Ocean's Eleven," he adds.

The gossip guy also talks about his trip to Southeast Asia; however, his ol...

Actor Ryan Gosling has played down rumors he's dating Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, insisting she is "a good friend."

The Notebook star was first linked to Lively in October, when the stars were spotted together at Disneyland in California and they sparked further speculation last week when they were seen getting close at the after-party for the New York premiere of Gosling's new movie Blue Valentine.

However, he is refusing to be drawn on the dating gossip - instead choosing to praise Lively for her onscreen talents. He tells People.com, "She's an incredible actress; she's a good frie...

Usually Ryan Gosling is accompanied by his mother at all of the major award shows and movie premieres. But last night at the Blue Valentine premiere in New York, she wasn't by his side. Instead, it was Gossip Girl's Blake Lively.

GASP!

This isn't the first time Ryan and Blake have been spotted together recently, the two reportedly went to Disneyland last month right before she announce...

Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley was sent into shock on April Fool's Day this year after an elaborate prank by his girlfriend Blake Lively left him convinced rocker Steven Tyler was his biological father.

The actor is an enthusiastic singer and guitarist and has often queried where he gets his talents from, because neither his mom nor dad are good with musical instruments. So Lively decided to play on his uncertainty and used that to her advantage to make April 1st one to remember by sending Badgley an email from a woman alleging he was her lovechild with the Aerosmith frontman.

She explai...

"Hellcats" star Aly Michalka looked hot in a little black dress at the "Easy A" premiere in Los Angeles on Monday. We're not crazy about the little cape-like part of her ensemble, but since she looks so good we'll overlook it.

Marie Claire UK talked to Blake Lively about her new film, "The Town," starring and directed by Ben Affleck.

Without any knowledge of her "Gossip Girl" role (he supposedly thought she was fresh out of acting class), Affleck was so impressed by her audition that he rewrote the part of Krista, a drug-addicted single mother and ex-girlfriend of Affleck's character in "The Town," especially for her.

Blake Lively on cooking and staying at home:
Despite her natural warmth and cosy front - she'll insist later how she prefers cooking to going out, ("That's my true talent, acting pays the bill")

Blake Lively was a quick change artist while filming scenes for "Gossip Girl" earlier this week. At one point she wore black shorts and a yellow tank top. Later she donned a loose blue blouse and khaki skirt. Both times she showed off her fabulous legs.

The show's creator Josh Schwartz recently dismissed reports Blake asked to be written out of the hit TV show so she can pursue a film career. Rumors suggested Lively was fed up with her small-screen commitments and had demanded her character be killed off so she could leave the program.

Schwartz tweeted: "Have to respond. No truth to rumo...

All the Gossip Girl OMG moments were a little too WTF to produce overly compelling drama for this week’s season finale. For starters, with so many people shacking up these days, it’s becoming a little difficult to know who’s sleeping and around and who’s just…sleeping.

Jenny (Taylor Momsen) woke up in Nate’s (Chace Crawford) bed wearing his shirt, and not much else. Chuck (Ed Westwick) disrupted the sleeping beauties (who were just sleeping) and then carried on his merry way to the top of the Empire State Building where he was going to wait to propose his love (and possibly more!) to Blair...

After so many weeks of secrecy and lies, this week Gossip Girl took a stab at coming clean with the truth. The first big revelation this episode was about Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and why she’s been missing for so long. It turns out that Lily has been hiding because she is “sick” with some form of cancer that apparently only her ex-husband William (Billy Baldwin) can treat. This, of course, made Rufus (Matthew Settle) jealous and angry that William would even suggest that Lily hide her illness from him and the kids. The scope of the matter only proceeded to get worse as William told Lily tha...

After so much recent scandal, the Gossip Girl tank is beginning to run on empty. This particular episode was pushing the multiple week feud between Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Jack (Desmond Harrington) to the limits. With Elizabeth (Laura Harring) supposedly out of the picture, Jack put his offer on the table. He told Chuck that he could get his hotel back if he gave Blair (Leighton Meester) to him - physically.

While concerned about Chuck, and out shopping with Serena (Blake Lively), Blair had a not so chance encounter with Jack where he also laid his cards on the table, planting the seeds of...

Its spring and love must be in the Gossip Girl air. Nate (Chace Crawford) and Serena (Blake Lively) still can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Their morning romps in the kitchen, however, are starting to take a toll on their roommate Blair (Leighton Meester). At least she can amuse herself and fake orgasm while reading a magazine to prove an ever-so-annoying point to the happy couple.

Blair's need to amuse herself comes from Chuck's (Ed Westwick) recent absence after a run in with his potential mother to be, Elizabeth (Laura Harring). After staking out the hotel she was staying i...
