Just a taste...

Which is exactly what I'm getting of Gossip Girl right now! Just a taste. This summer has been relatively quiet since Season 3 ended with a bang...what, too soon?

Luckily, it's probably not too soon, since we see that Ed Westwick as Chuck Bass is alive and well and joining the ladies in Paris---with a new leading lady by his side! Meh. I heart ChuckandBlair so of course I am not for this. We'll have to see how the storyline progresses in the city of love.

The biggest news besides Chuck's survival story that I've seen this summer is one Jenny Humphrey sent packing for an undisclosed amount of time, which is fine by me. I'm over Taylor Momsen and her rants and antics; I don't care if she doesn't want to be "Miley fucking Cyrus", look at her these days! How could you, Chuck Bass??

In minor news, I'm just wanting to see Chase Crawford on HD again. Who cares if he's not so much a clean-shaven, dapper Nate Archibald in real life? I love a sexy, scruffy possessor of "the good shit" anyway. Hell, I'd hit it if he passed it to me. Don't judge!

Dan and Vanessa don't count, so I have no idea if they are into any great hijinks. Overall, the GG summer has been pretty tame.

BUT! We finally have photos rolling in from Paris with the summer heat waves! Blake Lively and Leighton Meester look amazing whether they relaxed and happy on a wrought-iron balcony or having a cat fight in front of a marble fountain. I wonder what kind of crazy stunt S pulled to earn that unsolicited dip? Hmmm...looks like Gossip Girl already has temperatures rising!

OK, ok. Enough with the heat analogies. I live in Florida, spare me. Let's just talk about the REAL star of these scenes...these pants. Love 'em, or hate 'em? My instinct says they are repulsive, but methinks they will grace some fall fashion shows for sure.

Either way, lots of fashion sneak peeks to look forward to now that GG has resumed filming! Can't wait til Season Four airs September 13th on the CW!
