More Chuck, Less Trauma, and Scrubs On the Way!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:30:24 -0700

Earlier this week I broke down the ins and outs of Fall TV with my scorecard, but there are a few new developments to add. First, we've got another one to add to the R.I.P. list - NBC has pulled the plug on Trauma, and the show will be removed from the lineup after the initial 13 episodes are aired. I can't say I'm particularly sad about this development, since it means good news for one of my favorites: NBC has ordered six more episodes of Chuck, which was originally intended to have a shortened season. Plus, now that Trauma is out, it's more likely that Chuck will be back even sooner than March!

That's not all the news for today: the new (and improved?) Scrubs is officially on its way, with the season premiere scheduled for December 1 at 9 p.m. Hopefully the show will add some much-needed punch to the Tuesday night lineup which is a little lackluster right now.

So, will you miss Trauma? Or are you too excited about more Chuck and Scrubs to care?

Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 10 "The Last Days of Disco Stick"

BellaSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:00:39 -0800

Yay Gaga! Otherwise, though, this episode was sad on so many levels. No one is loved, and everyone except Chuck and Rufus has apparently lost the ability to be funny. Good thing they look so pretty, no? You were probably bored to tears by the episode (except for the end, of course), so I'm thinking you'll do well this week. Can beauty redeem a sucky plot line? Take the quiz and see.

Were You Ever Attracted to Bad Boys?

TresSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:00:15 -0800

With her rocker eyeliner, all-black wardrobe, and perfected eye roll, Gossip Girl's Jenny Humphrey isn't exactly fitting in with the prissy kids at her prep school. It's obvious that she needs a bad boy by her side, and on last night's episode that's just what she gets.

Jenny meets up with a Belgian diplomat's son, who happens to be drug pusher. She seems turned on or at least intrigued by his rebellious side and ends up helping him with some sales. Luckily, original bad boy Chuck Bass (they know his name even in Europe) is there to save Jenny from the dangers of drugs. But now that she's had a taste of the fast life, I suspect she'll be back for more, especially since she already has the wardrobe.

Although Jenny's appearance in the episode is otherwise pointless, it did remind us that sometimes we can be attracted to bad boys - even if it's completely stupid. Have you ever had a thing for troublemakers?

Pop Watch: Gossip Girl, "The Thin Line Between Chuck & Nate"

PopSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Last night's show marked the end of the first part of this series of Gossip Girl, as the writers went on strike and there was a massive gap in airdates in the US after this episode aired. So look out for minor changes in the cast's looks from the next episode - everyone needs to have their hair cut! All was well in last night's show – for one thing Chuck was back and we also got a good solid storyline for Blair and Serena's friendship, something that has been fairly lacking so far. Here's more of my thoughts:

While we may never know who Gossip Girl is, she's got spies everywhere! The episode kicked off when Serena's pretty private moment buying a pregnancy test ends up on the internet. Cue the rumour mill.
Dan's little sister Jenny broke our eardrums as she re-emerged on the show. I'm happy to say that her sassiness was mostly good this episode rather than horrible. So maybe there is hope yet that Jenny will be catty but cool.

To see the rest of my thoughts, and to leave your own just read more

I never thought I'd say this, but I was unhappy there was no real parent plotline this episode. I mean, I guess there was a Rufus story and I know I should give up on him and Lily for now, but those new girls seem annoying. At least Dan and Jenny are all about their dad being such a stud.
Oh wow, Dan is the perfect boyfriend. And Serena is kind of annoying about it, with her whole "I need to know why you love me" thing. That whole scene was over the top. Those of you who love Dan/Serena probably thought that was the sweetest scene ever, but it just kind of grated on me. Am I jaded, or did you feel that too?

Love Blair. She had some great one-liners this episode. "Maybe I am a total b*tch. Did you ever think about that?" and "I'm sorry if unlike some people I haven't been on the pill since I was 15." She was on fire when she was in denial mode.
Did anyone else think that no matter what her motive, it was totally and completely wrong for Serena to tell Chuck about Blair's pregnancy scare? Blair had every right to be really annoyed, even if she wasn't totally honest with Serena about the situation.
And how about Jenny telling Nate about Chuck? Scandalous. Thankfully, Eric is wise in the ways of eavesdropping and can easily tell that's how the information got from Serena to Dan to Jenny to Nate.
Loved that Chuck wrote into Gossip Girl himself about Blair. Such a Chuck thing to do. How often has he been doing that?
And thank you writers, for bringing back evil, mean Chuck with a vengeance – he makes me shiver uncomfortably and laugh at the same time with his attitude! How about when he compared Blair to his father's Arabian horses, saying she was "rode hard and put away wet"? Ick! And this, "I don't want you, and I don't see how anyone else would." Yikes.
So all of a sudden, after one scandal for Blair, Jenny is the new Queen B? Really? Hmm...
I'm glad that Serena stopped Blair from running away. And I do love Serena because she's still best friends with Blair - though really, Blair's bark is worse than her bite. What a way to end the episode. "Who's going down next? Everybody, if Blair has anything to do with it."

I thought that was a great episode, and I totally can't wait to hear what you thought about the storylines this episode. Let me know! XOXO

Gossip Girl Style Quiz, Episode Seven "Chuck in Real Life"

FabSugarUK — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:00:08 -0700

Chuck is quickly becoming my favourite character on Gossip Girl, so a whole episode more or less dedicated to him has to be a good one. This week there were plenty of domestic problems as the Bass household struggled to pull together. Vanessa threatened to play Blair at her own game, but things didn't quite work out as planned for either of the ladies. How well were you watching? Take our style quiz to find out.

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:30:54 -0700

This week's Gossip Girl is all about public relations: good, bad, free, and the kind that costs you your relationships. It's a pretty entertaining episode, what with the characters decked out in their '20s Halloween finest for Chuck's new club Gimlet (which we sneaked a peek at last week) - not to mention seeing a clip from a vampire franchise that felt very familiar. Is this week's episode as good as last week's? Check out my top WTF moments and let me know - and to talk more about the show later, join the XOXO Gossip Girl group in the BuzzSugar Community.

Found: Serena van der Woodsen's Beaded Dress

FabSugarUK — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:00:57 -0700

The new season of Gossip Girl has begun on ITV2 as our favourite Upper East Siders get to grips with college life. Following an eventful Summer, Serena decided to defer her place at Browns to stick around in the city hanging out with Blair, Chuck and Dan. In this week's episode, her relationship with Carter was under scrutiny, but she didn't let that effect her style! She spent a Summer's day in the city showing off her pins in this gorgeous zip front dress (£1,085) by Matthew Williamson. She teamed it with blue suede Zara sandals and a studded handbag by Treesje. What do you think of Serena's look?
