Oh Dan Humphrey how I love you… GOSSIP GIRL is on tonight at 9pm and I cannot wait. To wet your appetite, here is a fun interview with my newest TV Boyfriend Penn Badgley from E!
Gossip Girl is the first freshman series to get a full-season pickup. That must feel pretty good.
Yeah, it’s cool. We were on set when we heard the news. [Executive producers] Josh Schwartz and Stephanie [Savage] had us all gather around the speakerphone, and they told us, so that was exciting.Were you guys expecting it?
I wasn’t really surprised. People who expected us to do better [ratings] right off the bat were being unrealistic, because the CW is still trying to establish itself as a full-fledged network. I think a show like Gossip Girl is just going to keep building an audience. It seems to be doing that slowly but surely every week.Are you getting recognized already?
Actually, multiple times a day. If I go out in the city, chances are it’s going to happen, especially if Blake [Lively] and I are together. We have this Serena and Dan complex going, so people freak out if they see the two of us.In the books, Dan has a bi-curious element, no? He has questioned his sexuality.
Yeah, I think he’s straight-up gay in the books. But I don’t think network TV really has the balls to make one of their [teenage] series regulars gay. Let’s say the show builds up to become a big hit, then I think they’d maybe explore it in year three or four. It would be an interesting thing to do. It could bring in a whole different demographic.
Um, listen up The CW… LET DAN HUMPHREY BE A BIG OLE GAY!!! Read the rest of the interview with E!’s Watch with Kristin

I agree. I mean, he lives in Williamsburg and has the whole hipster-queer style down already! It’d be so much more fun if Serena was his hag! Hahaha.
