more Ed and Jessica after the hop…

Perhaps they were just having fun after the show, but spies claim the two were acting very much like boyfriend and girlfriend.

“They were taking shots,” a source said. “They’re definitely a couple. They were kissing and holding hands.”

Westwick, 23, and Szohr, 25, also reportedly checked out The Strokes concert together on Friday night, as well as the after-party for The Black Keys at Crimson Lounge in the Sax Hotel.

“They went straight to the VIP area and asked for no photos to be taken. They held court at the very back of the room so no one could see them.”

Eh, who knows. This could just be a case of good, old-fashioned ex sex. I’m not yet convinced the pair are back “on.”

More pictures of Ed after the split…

Ed hasn’t been out in public much, but when he was last week, it was alone.

Ed Westwick’s romance with his “Gossip Girl” co-star Jessica Szohr is definitely over. He was overheard telling a group of pretty girls he and Szohr were “no longer together” while catching the Kings of Leon concert at the Borgata in Atlantic City Saturday. A spy said, “Ed was dancing with a swarm of girls around him, and he was telling everyone he was single.

Well, once you tell people you are single, you are at least in your mind. Jessica, hopefully you’re reading this and you can know to move on! Who do you think Ed will date next?

more Ed and Jessica after the hop…

Today it seems the relationship Gods have sprinkled some good fortune onto the pair. They might (might!) be back together!

“Friends convinced them to be adult and talk things through. They still love each other and Jessica hopes they can work out their problems…They’re just seeing where things go. It was a mess for a while. Ed wasn’t even speaking to her.”

Do you care about Jessica or Ed or are they a couple you don’t give two hoots about?

More pictures of Leighton and Ed after the whisper…

Ed denied he dumped Jessica this morning, but how convenient would that be? From OK! Magazine:

Leighton Meester and her boyfriend (and sometime co-star) Sebastian Stan have split, a friend of the actress-musician tells OK!. So why the split now, when things seemed to be going so well? Leighton called it quits, because she “doesn’t know how to be in a relationship and doesn’t really like them,” explains the insider.

And since Leighton was the one doing the dumping, Sebastian isn’t taking it too well, with our source saying he’s “heartbroken” by Leighton’s decision to end the relationship.

I’m not sure if I buy the whole, I don’t do relationships. Come on, what young, beautiful girl doesn’t? Do you believe Leighton didn’t want a relationship or that Sebastian wasn’t the one?

More pictures of Ed and Jessica after the leap…

Jessica stars in Gossip Girl with Ed, so this might be a bit awkward! From the New York Post:

“Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick has dumped co-star and girlfriend Jessica Szohr after hearing rumors she was cozying up with one of his best friends.

Heartbroken Westwick split with Szohr in an emotional phone call last week after learning from friends she’d been flirting with handsome heir Marco Minuto. Panicked Szohr then flew to London from LA to beg him to take her back, but sources say Westwick is still deeply hurt.

Now, how exactly was she cozying up? Flirting is one thing, but dinner and dancing is another! Do you think Ed and Jessica will make up?

more Ed and Jessica after the hop…

Jessica covers the February issue of Teen Vogue and told the magazine:

“It can be a little awkward when all of a sudden [you have feelings for] someone you’d call to talk about a different boyfriend,” she says. “But there wasn’t a lot of thinking and talking. It kind of just happened. We had fun together, and we were like, ‘All right, let’s see where this goes.”

She, Ed, Leighton Meester and her boyfriend Sebastian Stan all go on fancy pants trips together (last year they went to Jamaica) and get on famously offset.

“I’ve heard horror stories from other actors about egos, people who don’t get along, but we’re all friends,” Szohr says. “There are people from this job who will be in my life for a very, very long time.”

more Ed and the gang after the bunch…

EW’s blog, The Ausiello Files, places bets on who will do whom:

Chuck/Blair/Nate: A recent study indicated that the only thing standing between GG and a 98 share in the show’s target 18-34 gay male demo is a scene with Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick in bed together naked. Leighton Meester can watch.

Chuck/Blair/Josh: You’ll recall that Josh is the gay NYU alum Blair tricks Chuck into kissing later this month. In other words, this trio’s already at first base!

Chuck/Blair/Dorota: Blair’s been on the lookout for a non-threatening third party to fulfill BF Chuck’s carnal desires. Enter her long-suffering maidservant. The best part? She’ll happily clean up afterwards.

We’d like to go with option #1. Please, please, please. We may just have to start watching Gossip Girl again.

more Ed and ugly tattoos after the hop…

These pictures tell us Ed thought it would just be a wonderful idea to get a large feather (?) and a topless pin-up type girl on his arms. Sigh. He should really set aside a laser removal fund. He’ll need it in, oh, 8 years or so. He has plenty of time to save!

He gave Interview a rundown of all his tattoos:

“I got “Heartbreak Hotel” tattooed on my chest. And I’ve got “21 Grams ,” “Love Me Two Times,” the song by The Doors. I have “I Heart Romance” on my forearm and “You Make Me Feel Like the One” across my shoulder. I saw it (I Heart Romance) in a bathroom stall in a bar in Brooklyn. I thought it was cool, so I got it.”

What do you think? You like Ed‘s ugly new tattoos?

photos of the Gossip Girl Cast and the other kisser revealed below..

Here are some of the details on the lip lock as reported by EW.com. Spoilery details below..

No, it’s not Chace Crawford. The kisser is Neal Bledsoe who’s guest-starring in episode 6 as Josh Ellis, NYU’s head of freshman affairs.

Circumstances:
Josh’s given the job to select a new student for the honor of delivering the freshman speech, he’s, shall we say, a person of interest to Blair played by Leighton Meester. In fact, she’s so determined that she goes so far as to pimp out her boyfriend to the gay guy in charge. Ha!

Are you surprised? Horrified? Me, I see it coming..

more photos of Ed and Jessica after the hop…

A source for Page Six said Ed was “supposed to join her” but didn’t because the two were “fighting.”

Uh oh.

Do you think Ed and Jessica are headed for a split?

more photos of Meester and Weswick smooching below..

Then again all the Gossip Girl stars are so hot and they all could easily pair up one way or another. In reality Leighton is dating another Gossip Girl co-star Sebastian Stan. As for Ed he’s dating me.. not really, Westwick is dating another Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr.

More pictures of Chace and Ed after the move…

The reason for Chace’s move is pretty understandable. Supposedly Ed is a real slob to live with. And nobody likes to live in a pig sty! From US Magazine:

The source says Crawford — who will star in the upcoming reboot of Footloose — moved out on Monday and into a rented penthouse apartment in the luxe Dwell 95 building in NYC’s Financial District.

The reason for Crawford’s change of scenery?

Apparently, Westwick is a slob, and Crawford couldn’t take the mess any longer, a source tells Us.

If Ed is such a messy housekeeper, it was lucky Chace stayed this long and they parted as friends! How long would you have been able to live in a dump with a pal?

More pictures of Kellie Pickler and Ed Westwick after the jump…

Kellie and Ed were present with a bunch of other stars to show off kilts.  Mike Myers, some models, Andie McDowell and several others walked the runway for Dressed to Kilt, a fundraiser for Friends of Scotland. From the LA Times:

Ostensibly a “judged” catwalk contest, Pickler pulled down the award for “most elegant,” male model Marcus Schenkenberg for (you guessed it) “sexiest model,” “Gossip Girl’s” Ed Westwick took honors for “most stylish” and Mike Myers took home the (Scottish Canadian) bacon in the “best catwalk comic” category.

Kellie looks super thin and gorgeous in the dress.  But the hair and makeup?  What were they thinking?

Anyway the source said:

“It stinks!” an insider insists. “Those boys are slovenly and have garbage and clothes everywhere. You’d think they were living in a frat house!”

Oooh, the closeted gay men would in Kappa Sigma would looooove to have those two in their fraternity.

more photos after the hop…

She also dished to Teen Vogue about her new “edgy” album. Leighton is recording an electro-pop album—not bubblegum—due out this spring. Oh, and also remember that awesome little news piece stating that Leighton was born in prison because her mother was caught smuggling marijuana?

Not true. Damn! She did, however, live in a halfway house with her mother for a few months. Why was her mother in a halfway house. Unfortunately, Leighton didn’t offer that information.

Wold you buy Leighton Meester‘s electro-pop album?

more juice after the jump…

The spy, who coincidently has friends at W magazine (media spies are everywhere, young Hollywood, take note) said Ed and Jessica kissed “on the lips” but alas, “not a french kiss” and the pair “were being flirty when people were not paying attention.” Or so they thought! Only to be greeted with a waterfall of Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr hook-up rumors once they landed. Woops! Better luck next time guys!

More Ed Westwick posts:

Drew Barrymore and Ed Westwick?

more photos after the slurp…

Sources say that last weekend, the two were spotted flirting outrageously at the Saturday Night Live afterparty. The chemistry definitely culminated this week when spies say Drew “straddled” Westwick in public, which, no doubt, “hurt” the viewers eyes a bit.

So are Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz officially a roaming pack of Hollywood cougars? Forget the wedding rings and babies—it’s time to ravage the cast of Gossip Girl! It’s really quite inspiring for all us single gals bravely approaching the big 3-0 without a wedding ring. Bravo Drew! Let us all follow your lead.

Although the opening number is a slight decline from its pilot episode (3.5 million), “Gossip Girl” attracted more adult demographic aged 18 to 49 that goes up 6 per cent. CW also announced that it also appeals higher to women aged 18 to 34, a demographic which has become the most-coveted. Their key demo rounded up in three major cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago as reports by Aceshowbiz

I say big cities love to fantasize and Gossip Girl gets your imaginations running, doesn’t it?

They do have very fresh looking cast. Chace Crawford is so cute of course there have been rumors that him and Ed Westwick are gay. The rumors were denied by Chace Crawford’s publicist ”These endless rumors are absolutely untrue” as reports by Nymag.

Perhaps we can ask Carrie Underwood, afterall she did go out with him. She could have some idea, you think? Why do so many cute guys have to be gay? No saying he is but what do you think? Chace and Ed are gays or not?

Watch video of Gossip Girl Season 2 Episode 1 Part 3:

Wild stories have crept up that the pair carry on while on set and don’t care who sees them.  You believe that?  Chace skipped out on Ed’s big 21st birthday possibly as a way to squelch rumors, but it only seems to have fired them up.

It seems that any young man who cares about his clothes or hair now is labeled as ‘gay’ and in a relationship with a male friend…Zac Efron, Pete Wentz, etc.  Fair or unfair?
