Regarding our earlier story about Chace Crawford's publicist demanding (but not receiving) solo treatment on the cover of Details, a new twist: When Crawford did the cover of Out, she demanded the exact opposite. Read about it in our updated original post.
The television show Gossip Girl is not all teenage sex in limousines, classy drinking at posh hotel bars, fashion internships with elite designers, and xoxo-ing. Behind the scenes, a compelx machine is at work, where diva personalities are "managed," drug abuse is "handled," and eating disorders are ignored. (No quotation marks on that one.) And while the tense relationship between Leighton Meester (Blair) and Blake Lively (Serena) is played out in the press like their fictional frenemy relationship on the show's Gossip Girl blog, almost entirely ignored is the backstage backstabbing going on among the guys.
Ed Westwick (Chuck), Chace Crawford (Nate), and Penn Badgley (Dan) all seemingly get along in non-fiction. Westwick, with his not so secret nasal sports, and Crawford are in fact best friends, and their living together and ubiquitous enjoyment of each other's company has led to ample evidence for gay rumormongering. Badgley, the real life and television boyfriend to Lively (well, they broke up, for now!), is friendly with the other two, but less so.
But just because the guys get along … doesn't mean their Hollywood handlers do. CONTINUED »
For all five of our readers who follow Gossip Girl, Details magazine shot a beautiful cover of the show's leading men, along with an in-depth interview with each. To make a long story short: Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford totally love each other in a not-gay-bromance kind of way (maybe), Penn Badgley is kind of an ass and thinks he's better than you, and all the boys love Christian Bale. We knew we loved these guys for a reason.
Drew Barrymore has gone where every Upper East Side tween would empty out their trust funds to go: The actress reportedly made out with both Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford in a matter of days.
'People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping. It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here. You know those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a café talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again.' —Ed Westwick on his non-sexual roommate relationship [P6 Magazine, Earlier]
Remember when the gossip columns were filled with plants about Chace Crawford — the Gossip Girl star whose publicist wasn't pleased that he was being labeled a big 'mo — and his female relations?
Then rumors started that Crawford and co-star/roommate Ed Westwick shared more than just scripts?
Enter this obvious plotline: Gossip columns are beginning to report Westwick's own lady exploits: "The Gossip Girl guy was 'seriously making out with some random chick' at Lit bar Wednesday night, says a spy. 'When the two left together, Ed was leading her by the hand. He was moving quick, but he had time to wink at a hot brunette before slipping out.'"
Gossip Girl costars and roommates Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford can’t get enough of one another’s company:
The twosome showed up at a recent show by Brit popsters The Ting Tings, and a spy says “they were never more than a foot apart. It was freaky.
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."
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]
