'Gossip Girl' recap: A little bit goes a long way

Mr. Shawn certainly is evidence of that. The incredibly talented Shawn also added a nice sheen of class toGG. But the entire plotline served Blair best (I was expecting Cary Grant and I got Danny DeVito). Leighton Meester is really developing a fine comic timing. Her reaction shots are high-larious. But poor Dorota my favorite character was treated like crap. Still, I have to appreciate all of the airtime given to her....

Even Kirsten Dunst didnt get through the night unscathed, with Laurel deeming her not front-row-worthy at Eleanors show. So exactly when did Serena become friends with this Poppy chick? How much time has passed since last week? Credit: Giovanni Rufino/The CW I thought she was like the new queen of the school. But enemies Serena and Blair are soooo much more fun than friends Serena and Blair. I laughed out loud when Serenas seat card was replaced by Ramona Wong....

'Gossip Girl' recap: Going dark

I can just see production assistants running around with water bottles, misting the cast. We need more moisture! Penns chest needs to glisten! Credit: Giovanni Rufino Poor Jenny was being worked to the bone by Laurel. I guess none of that White Party bonding has helped their relationship. We dont have time for things like helping people. Then, poor little J. had to clean the atelier for Eleanors arrival, including the bathrooms....

But then they hired a 28-year-old actor so that seemed like a little bit of a stretch....

But I have the best excuse ever: Mark-Paul Gosselaar just stopped by our office. (See him meet Annie here.) On to the show… So last nights theme was courage. Or, how to scare your dog sless.

'Grey's Anatomy' scoop: Can 'annoying' April be redeemed?

Yay for Jacksonbut not so much for his Mercy West cohort, who hasnt exactly endeared herself to viewers. The fact that she nearly got Derek killed in last months harrowing hostage-themed finale certainly didnt help. Among Aprils biggest critics: Drew herself! Series creator Shonda Rhimes said she felt like April became part of the tribe in the finale. Did you feel the same way when you shot the episode? SARAH DREW:I definitely had that feeling....
