Is Jenny leaving ‘Gossip Girl?’

Looks like little J. may be getting her own TV show.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that the makers of “Gossip Girl” are already looking at a spin-off, set in a girls’ boarding school, with Jenny Humphrey (played by cutie Taylor Momsen) as the possible star.
Makes total sense. The “GG” books spun Jenny off into her own series, “The It Girl.” In those novels, Jenny opts to leave her private NYC school after a string of embarrassing incidents plunges her popularity quotient into the toilet.
The books qualify “embarrassing” as appearing scantily-clad in a teen magazine. But I’m guessing that having your boyfriend publicly outed as gay, followed by having the cool crowd find out that you lied about losing your virginity, qualifies too.
Anyway, THR says that a Jenny-based show isn’t a sure thing. The producers could adapt the same Jenny storyline to another character that’s yet to be introduced.
So keep your eyes peeled when “GG” is back in the fall, boys and girls. There may be a new star in the making right in front of you…until then, XOXO!
UPDATE: “GG” creator Josh Schwartz tells E! Online that this rumor isn’t true. Then again, the same story quotes a CW source as saying the network would consider the idea if Season 2 does well. Considering that “GG” has super-duper buzz and gossip column mentions galore—but you know, so-so ratings, which are kind of important to TV execs—methinks someone has put the cart before the horse.
