'Gossip' guy Neal Bledsoe kisses (Ed Westwick) and tells: Was it good for him? | Ausiello | EW.com

From Kristin:

Nanda in New York City: Help us, TV Gossip Girl: Do you have any good Chuck and Blair spoilers? Please?!
You Gossip Girl fans can all exhale: Chuck and Blair aren't breaking up any time soon.

Bianca in Palm Beach, Fla.: Can you please put the Chair fandom at ease and let us know that this Chuck "gay kiss" storyline on Gossip Girl does not mean Chuck will be playing for both teams but is really just a scheme and will serve to bring Chair even closer at the end of it? Thanks!

OK...so...the good news is that Chuck is not really playing for both teams on the TV version of Gossip Girl (in the books he's definitely bisexual). The bad news is that Chuck's gay kiss is not doing Chuck and Blair's relationship any favors? Why? Because Gossip Girl's resident crazy lady (that's Blair, just so we're clear) tricks Chuck into kissing that boy, and Chuck's pissed after the fact. Don't panic, Chuck and Blair are not totally breaking up over this, but it does put a major kink in their relationship.

From Ausiello:

Chuck Bass kisses a boy! Dumbledore rejoices! Fangirls weep and rejoice! Secrets to be revealed. Is Chuck playing both sides? Let's watch!

Spotted: Chuck Bass sucking face with a dude!

It’s true! Multiple Gossip Girl insiders confirm to me exclusively that the CW phenom is currently shooting an episode for its upcoming third season in which Ed Westwick’s legendary lothario kisses another man.

So who’s the lucky guy? And what are the circumstances surrounding the same-sex smooch? Keep reading for all the spoilery details…

First things first: Sorry to disappoint, but no, it’s not Chace Crawford. Westwick’s “romantic” interest is up-and-comer Neal Bledsoe (CSI: NY, Guiding Light), who’s guest-starring in episode 6 as Josh Ellis, NYU’s head of freshman affairs. Since Josh is tasked with selecting an incoming student for the honor of delivering the freshman speech, he’s, shall we say, a person of interest to Blair. In fact, she’s so determined to snag the slot that she goes so far as to pimp out her boyfriend out to the gay guy in charge.

The catch? All you need to know is there is one. Oh, and wait until you hear what Chuck says to Blair following the lip-lock. (Must. Resist. Temptation. To. Spoil.)

It was only a matter of time before GG played the maybe-gay card with Chuck, who swung both ways in Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl books.

What do you think? Surprised? Titillated? Horrified? Choose your adjectives below!

Question: How is Chuck gonna react when he finds out Blair tricked him into kissing a guy on Gossip Girl? Is there gonna be a revenge? —Amy

The kiss itself isn’t the issue. It’s the general lack of trust between them that causes problems. And the tension grows the following week when another breakdown in trust occurs — this time involving the bar Chuck opens in his new hotel.

Producers/Other:

CHUCK & BLAIR: IT'S ON!

"Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) are definitely going to be a couple and stay a couple this season," Gossip Girl executive producer Stephanie Savage tells PEOPLE. But don't expect it to be all chocolates and roses: "Chuck and Blair in a relationship is going to be something very unique and something we haven't seen before. They have definitely found ways to not be boring." Now that sounds interesting.

AG: Since we talked about how you hate it when things are leaked, anything you can leak yourself before someone finds it in a trash, or taped to a streetlamp?
JS: Well, there's something we're putting together right now, an event we're really excited about. It's something we've been wanting to do for a while now -- a musical. But a musical in only the way Gossip Girl could do it. Sometimes we have an idea like this, but then something else comes up and we put it on the back burner. Hopefully this time it'll happen.

Exclusive: Desmond Harrington Returns to Gossip Girl

Jack Bass, the devious uncle of Gossip Girl's Chuck (Ed Westwick), is set to return to the show later this season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

"I will be back this year," says Desmond Harrington, who plays the character. "I think it's episode 15 or 16 where I show back up. It's fun playing Uncle Jack."

When we last saw Jack, he tried to attack Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford), who had taken over Bass Industries for Chuck. Jack was then sent packing back to Australia with a sore jaw after being punched by Chuck.

Chuck Bass shares a gay kiss this season

Harrington, who currently plays Det. Quinn on Dexter, says the producers asked him to come back, but he doesn't yet know the plot details surrounding Jack's return to New York. However, the actor says he hopes to continue making Chuck's life a living hell. "I think, if anything, I am there to screw that kid's life up basically," Harrington says. "I think he might be, out of all the most evil characters the show has ever had on it, the most evil character. He's evil."

Are you excited to see more of Jack Bass?

**Queen Bee** · 10-12-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm glad

I want a dance tonight *stomps foot*

Jenndeve · 10-12-2009, 04:02 PM

Me too

**TheMusicLives** · 10-12-2009, 04:04 PM

Great title!

blair4eva · 10-12-2009, 04:09 PM

tftnt!!!!

my god... lily has married 2 men in a matter of less than 2 years... barf.

I am not sure chuck is in the wedding or whether he is just wearing a boutinear...

i don't know.. I am still not down with a Humphrey-Vanderwoodson-Bass family mix, but I am glad that lily saved the company from jack by adopting chuck.. and I am glad chuck has a home other than his hotel room..

**Queen Bee** · 10-12-2009, 04:10 PM

Mags, in the promo he's at the front with Dan/Serena/Jenny/Eric, he's part of the wedding party

**ChrisM** · 10-12-2009, 04:12 PM

I can see the issue with it, but on the other hand I think he's grateful to Lily and he knows she sees him as family. I wouldnt mind some comment on it though, but I think he's also moved on and accepted it.

Though still add it to the reasons of why I dont care for Lily much.

chris again I am obsessed with your icon.. and I

finn...

but yes I am not a huge lily fan either... and maybe it is good that chuck is involved in the wedding instead of just ignoring that she is his adoptive mother...

**Queen Bee** · 10-12-2009, 04:15 PM

I'm really excited for Jack to come back, just because Desmond is awesome. I adore him

True that Mags

She tends to do that./

thanks! Finn's spazzy self is

and yeah, I think so, I like Chuck letting go of a lot of that bitterness, and probably gearing up to be bitter about other things

Desmond is so hot!! and such a good actor, I loved to hate Jack and I can't wait to do it again. Then Chuck can bring him down. Hopefully with B's help

blair4eva · 10-12-2009, 04:22 PM

i kind of want jack to come back and realize what an arse he was to chuck and how it was wrong what he did and that having family means more to him than money and that he has entered rehab and really has taken a new approach to his life..

BUT

this is GG not greys and something like that wouldn't happen..

**Queen Bee** · 10-12-2009, 04:23 PM

I actually think he has great chemistry with both E and L. I can't wait to see the epic CBJ scenes we get out of this

It's going to be angsty, I know it

Mags, Desmond says Jack is evil, so I doubt it

**ChrisM** · 10-12-2009, 04:26 PM

right Nadia! they should be really good!! but yes, I sense some angst coming with that arc! Im stoked though

yeah I dont think he'll be redeemable, he's gonna be full on villain.

CarterT · 10-12-2009, 04:28 PM

Maybe Jack is coming back to kill Chuck! Yes! He can be all evil in dark and be like..."Time for you to go, nephew. It's my turn to run the company the way I like it and time for you to go! I've dug up a grave next to your mommy and daddy for you! Once I've done away with you, I'll go steal a kiss from Blair. And maybe her underwear too."

YES! I SOLVED OUR EVIL MYSTERY!
