CHASE CRAWFORD
So we’ve already heard about Privileged’s Joanna Garcia playing Nate’s (Chace Crawford) new love interest on the show, and you may have even heard about Hilary Duff signing on to play a movie star enrolling at NYU as Vanessa’s (Jessica Szohr) roommate. So who else is joining the glamorous posse?
Spotted: Blake Lively, Ed Westick, Chace Crawford, and Leighton Meester yesterday morning in Grammercy Park. Yes, season 3 of Gossip Girl has officially commenced shooting. After a two month hiatus, everyone’s favorite guilty pleasure cast is back in action, with more drama, plot twists and even new cast members. (Joanna Garcia of CW’s Privileged supposed to play a southern belle and Nate’s new love interest) So ladies, gents, whoever you are, be on the prowl for these hotties during the next few months, as they’ll surely be out and about in Manhattan filming new episodes.
XOXO,
Gossip Girl

Zac Efron was all set to reprise the role that made Kevin Bacon famous—and then he changed his mind. Being famous for the High School Musical movies, Efron feared this role would typecast him as a cheesy musical star and stepped aside. When he dropped out of Footloose, many actors were rumored to be considered for the role of high school rebel Ren McCormack.
Now, it’s official: Paramount Pictures has announced that Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl will be stepping into Zac’s dancing shoes. The newly-famous 23-year old reportedly beat out Derek Hough, of Dancing with the Stars, for the role.
