XOXO, ‘Gossip Girl’

So remember when Blair told Serena that her mother has had a rough time recently because her dad ran off with his boyfriend?
Well, looks like we’re going to eventually meet this charming man, who now lives in Paris. Word is the show is casting for the role.
If “Gossip Girl” lasts, that is.
The soapy show’s Sept. 17 premiere delivered about 3.7 million viewers—about 1 million more than last year’s “One Tree Hill” on the CW.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that people stopped watching halfway through; the ratings dropped about 8 percent after the first half hour. And once fierce competitors like ABC’s “Private Practice” emerged last week, ratings plunged 30 PERCENT to 2.4 million. (But as this article in Adweek magazine points out, DVR viewings haven’t been factored into those numbers.)
Anyway, stay tuned if you want the show to stay alive.
In tonight’s installment, “Poison Ivy,” the kids stress out over a visit from Ivy League recruiters. But more importantly, Blair learns a scandalous secret about Serena that will likely stay a secret for about as long as an on-sale Gucci bag stays on a store shelf.
Until then, Upper East Siders (and everyone else), XOXO…
