‘Gossip Girl’ gets a cougar

“Gossip Girl” has a new hottie, and she’s out of high school.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Madchen Amick has been cast as a “cougar” named Catherine Mason, who’ll be the older gal tempting Nate (Chase Crawford) into a May-December romance.

Now, I had several thoughts upon hearing this news.
One, if Amick’s birthday on IMDB.com is correct, I’m a wee bit disturbed by the fact that this show regards a 37-year-old as a cougar. I thought that term was restricted for gals who are at least 40. Amick needs at least a few more notches on her belt before she can take that title away from the likes of Demi Moore, people!
Two, Mad-CHIN Ami-whosits?!? She’s the kind of actress who I think I’ve seen before, but can’t quite place. (And sorry, EW, referring to her as a casino owner’s wife on the blink-and-you-missed-it “Viva Laughlin” doesn’t help.) Again, trusty IMDB to the rescue! I discovered that I know this chick from my much-missed “Gilmore Girls!” She was Sherry, the girlfriend of Rory’s dad, Christopher. You know, she got knocked up just as Lorelai and Christopher were about to get back together, but it didn’t matter because Lor was destined to be with Luke anyway and…whoops! Got carried away there.
Three, was Amick cast simply because for once in her life, she’ll fit in with the show’s other oddly-named actresses? Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, watch your backs.

She’s best known, probably, because she was awesome back in the day in Twin Peaks. She was Shelly the waitress who was married to psychotic Leo the truck driver.
