BLAKE LIVELY can’t wait for “Gossip Girl” to end.

And we don’t blame her.

“Gossip Girl” started out as a great show, but after a bunch of messy love triangles and crazy plot twists, the whole thing’s pretty much gone down the tubes.

Which is why it wasn’t that much of a surprise when entertainment news revealed that the show’s upcoming season would be its last.

Are LEIGHTON MEESTER and “Austin Powers in Goldmember” star AARON HIMELSTEIN dating?

‘Coz they were just spotted in each others’ arms… in Rio!

Leighton Meester was just spotted with a new cutie, Aaron Himelstein, at the romantic lands of Rio de Janerio in Brazil on Friday. Star news reports that the brunette “Gossip Girl” star, who just turned 26 just last Thursday, had visited the famous Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio with Himelstein‘s hand locked into hers.

In recent star news, BLAKE LIVELY‘s restraining order against a crazed fan has been extended up to three more years.

Now she can finally sleep more soundly!

LEIGHTON MEESTER was forced to become a brunette for “Gossip Girl,” according to the latest entertainment news. Because Leighton was actually a blonde (a natural blonde, mind you)… before she became Blair Waldorf, the sassy Queen Bee of the Upper East Side (who is now the Princess of Monaco, BTW).

Before “Gossip Girl,” Leighton was relatively unknown, appearing in B-movies or guest starring on various TV shows. But when she ditched her blonde hair and landed the role of Blair Waldorf, she became one of the hottest television stars in Hollywood.

“Gossip Girl” star, PENN BADGLEY recalls the time he was nearly molested by 50 Catholic schoolgirls while shooting for the TV series at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Apparently, they looked innocent and innocuous at first, but then they started pawing the “Easy A” actor and actually started undressing him in public…

Badgley, 25, has his share of fans but never as intense as that crowd of schoolgirls who used their strength in numbers to overpower the hunky actor and practically dry hump him beneath the cover of their uniforms.

TAYLOR MOMSEN has finally realized “Gossip Girl” producers aren’t taking her back, so she’s issued a statement saying she quits acting. For good. Which is something Hollywood gossip websites have heard all too often from celebrities who just can’t get acting gigs in Tinseltown (here’s to you Amanda Bynes).

“I quit Gossip Girl and now tour and am in a band. That’s pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully, I’ll be able to only do that for the rest of my life.”
