Gossip Girl is the CW's new teen drama created by Josh Schwartz, creator of the hit show The OC. Based on the series of novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl follows the lives of privileged teens and budding socialites who live on the Upper East Side in New York City. They attend elite private schools and have access to the most exclusive spots in New York. They also have to struggle with sex, drugs, and a ton of drama. Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively (Accepted) as Serena van der Woodsen and Leighten Meester (Surface) as Blair Waldorf, whose perfect world is turned upside down when Serena unexpectedly returns to New York. The series is narrated by the anonymous Gossip Girl (voiced by Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell), a blogger who dishes on all the Upper East Side gossip on her website.
