For some silly reason, both Rumer Willis and Brittny Gastineau have not heard that Gossip boy Chace Crawford may not swing for their team. Learning this information will help them understand why he showed exactly zero interest in them at a birthday party they all attended, despite Rumer’s wearing “the shortest jean shorts.” Or maybe it’s because he has seen both Rumer and Brittny in daylight. You would’ve thought Rumer learned her lesson when a previous outfit consisting of a “see-through her white dress [and …] a black bra underneath” failed to earn his gaze.

Gossip boy Chace Crawford’s recent mouthing off about the television show that made him isn’t exactly on par with the lashing Katherine Heigl gave Grey’s Anatomy’s writers and producers, but he’s made clear he’s sees himself as a big enough star not to follow strict orders. He tells OK!: “There was an episode where we were crashed out on the sofa after a big night out and they wanted me to wake up in my boxers, so I argued with them about it. I mean, first of all, who gets wasted with their buddy, and smokes weed and then strips down to their boxers before they pass out on the couch?! No one does that. Why am I naked on my buddy’s couch? It was weird so I fought it.” Um, asked and answered?

Somehow we’re completely ready to trust the gaydar of New York online editor Chris Rovzar’s gaydar regarding Gossip Girl “roommates” Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick, who calls B.S. on rumors they’re dating. Also, we’re completely despaired. And not actually ready to trust anything. [NYM]

Just a day after the Internet was abuzz with rumors — equally plausible and impossible — that Gossip Girl co-stars and roommates Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick are lovers, weren’t afraid to hide it, and were spotted open-mouth kissing in Crawford’s trailer, Westick’s rep calls the report “absolutely untrue.”

With near certainty, these photos of Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford – routinely spotted getting close with ladies and/or talking about dating them – will once and for all silence any rumors he is of the homosexual variety. [Photos: OU]

LOLGAYS “NEWLY available Jamie-Lynn Sigler is a hot commodity. Since her split with nightlife king Scott Sartiano a few weeks ago, we’ve spotted a slew of guys putting the moves on the “Sopranos” star around town, though the pretty actress has remained aloof to their advances. Actor Chace Crawford was smitten with Sigler at a party last week.” [P6]

Chace Crawford, the heterosexual actor who plays a heterosexual heartthrob on teen sensation Gossip Girl, yet again, explains an ideal date: “The ideal, I think, when you’re starting out, is something low-key, like playing the [Nintendo] Wii, ordering in pizza and then grabbing a beer. … [But come time to step out, the actor says he’d take off] “to a concert in Central Park or an NBA basketball game, if she likes sports.” [People] If she likes sports! Oh that’s a good one.

Also: “Part of me being single is focusing on my work right now. I’ve been dating my gym bag for a while now.” Because it’s so easy to meet ladies in the locker room.

Page Six continues to be the only gossip sheet buying, or propping up, Chace Crawford’s sexuality ploy: “NEWLY single Chace Crawford isn’t mourning the loss of his ex-girlfriend, Carrie Underwood. The “Gossip Girl” heartthrob was all over town last weekend, drinking and flirting with gaggles of gals. On Saturday night, Crawford sat “between two beautiful brunettes” at La Zarza in the East Village until 1 a.m. “flirting and taking shots of Patron.” Then on Sunday, Crawford and his co-stars Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick had a boys’ night at Stanton Social on the Lower East Side. Our spies there saw Crawford sipping blood orange margaritas and befriending his waitress.”

Of course, this could easily be interrupted as Chace going out with his gaggle of fag hags and drinking girly drinks.

Emily Brill, daughter of faded magazine honco Steve, now fancies herself a gossip columnist. Blogging about her sightings of Chace Crawford and Rumer Willis, Emliy writes the duo were seen together at Rose Bar around 2:30am, leaving together for the Beatrice Inn “via one big black Escalade.” Lady Brill, perhaps perturbed she’s not a part of that scene, posits the twosome might be an item, proving she clearly has no idea about blogs after all.

ANY GUESSES? When American Idol Carrie Underwood tells InStyle that “I’ve been cheated on a time or two. It’s tough,” just who might she be referring to?

Chace Crawford answered the question on the CW Morning News: “I don’t have any real guidelines for any particular girl. If they ring your bell, they ring your bell.” Make sure to ring it with a penis. [HS]

If it weren’t for parties at a Theory store, we might be left wondering whether Chace Crawford really is dating Michelle Trachtenberg. After all, they were spotted “flirting heavily” at Upstairs, so they must be banging each other, right?

Let’s get Michelle on the record about this matter: “I mean, did you not just hear me? I don’t talk about tabloid bullshit, and Chace is a co-worker of mine, so … Tabloids make up crazy shit, and I don’t have to play into it.” There you have it — they’re totally together!

From blogs! Down By The Hipster spotted Gossip Girl’s Chace and Michelle Trachtenberg at Soho’s Upstairs. [Earlier]

Chace Crawford’s camp moves fast to plant an item that he’s now enjoying a fling with new Gossip Girl castmate Michelle Trachtenberg, a rebound tryst following his heartbreaking split with Carrie Underwood — a relationship she pretty much denies ever having. But don’t get jealous, JC Chasez; it’s the same melancholy ploy as before. What one spy refers to as Chace and Michelle “flirting heavily” could easily be mistaken as the oldest in fag-hag conversation: “OMG this Cosmo is sooooo good!” “I know!!!@!%!@!”

“For the record, we’re both straight,” insists JC Chasez of reports he’s dating Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford. “We’re not dating.”

His story grows even cuter after you watch him on Tyra offering all sorts of excuses about why he’s not dating a girl.

FROM THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE “Carrie Underwood confirmed to Isthishappening.com sources this morning that she is no longer dating Chace Crawford!!” [ITH]

Just because Gossip Girl co-stars Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford live together doesn’t mean they’re gay, silly! It just means Chace and is playing cabana boy with JC Chasez. See how that logic thing works? [Earlier]

Here, yesterday on the set of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley play a fictional couple. Just like these two.

Evelyn Karamanos moves quick. The WKT publicist, who also reps Christian Slater and Eliza Dushku, didn’t like seeing all those rumors circulating yesterday of client Chace Crawford gaying it up with JC Chasez, even moving in with him.

So, we’re guessing, she quickly had this item dispatched to Page Six. Chace and JC spending so much time together isn’t because they’re lovers, but because they’re the new pussy posse!

“The Gossip Girl hunk was ’surrounded by women’ at Tao Friday night, and they were ‘dancing wildly and pawing on each other’ and drinking Cristal and shots of Patron with former boybander JC Chasez.”

Well played.

It’s cute how Gatecrasher’s Ben Widdicombe uses the term “BFFs” interchangeably between “best friends forever” and “boyfriends forever”: “BFFs JC Chasez and Chace Crawford hung out all night with some very attractive male friends by the outside bar.” [Gatecrasher, Queerty]
