Teens give big love to 'Gossip Girl'

It’s kind of a mystery how a show can pull in middling ratings and still be a cultural phenomenon, but somehow, “Gossip Girl” has pulled it off in a big way.
The edgy teen soap has been off the air since May, but you’d never know it from all the coverage it’s been getting lately.
The series and its stars have been all over:
• Fashion magazines (they’re part of Vanity Fair’s annual Bright Young Hollywood issue)
• Gossip columns (dating co-stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are making out all over the set, and no one’s talking to the actress playing Penn’s new on-screen love interest because it’ll make Blake upset!)
• and even respected news organizations like CNN.com (about the CW’s meant-to-be-controversial uber-sexy Season 2 ad campaign)
Then, as the ultimate badge of honor, “GG” was the big winner at last night’s Teen Choice Awards.
It snagged SIX surfboard trophies: Choice TV Drama, Breakout Show, Breakout Male Actor (Chase “Nate” Crawford), Breakout Female and TV Drama Actress (Blake “Serena” Lively) and TV Villain (Ed “evil Chuck” Westwick).
And if that isn’t enough to make you say “YAY!” then remember this: It’s less than a month now until the show’s back on the air for its sophomore season.
Yup, our favorite snarky blogger returns on Sept. 1: It’s a holiday, people, so remember to set your TiVos, if you can’t roll your bloated, sunburned self home from that Labor Day BBQ by 8 p.m.
And what’s in store for our beloved prep-schoolers, besides the already-reported new love for Dan and summer fun in the Hamptons?
Ooh, Serena and Blair get in a catfight over …
a flashlight.
That’s the word from Michael Ausiello, the former TV Guide guru who’s now freshly ensconced at Entertainment Weekly.
Sheesh, Mike, I hope you can get better “GG” scoop that THAT in the future.
That’s all for now, boys and girls, arrivederci, ciao, au revoir and all that …
