Hey Upper East Siders, we have some information that might blow your mind: Jennifer Lawrence once auditioned for The CW's hit drama Gossip Girl [1]. According to the show's creator Josh Schwartz, the Oscar-winning actress, who would have been 16 at the time, really wanted to play NYC's favorite It girl.

"We did not realize this at the time, but Jennifer Lawrence [2] really wanted to play Serena and auditioned," Schwartz told Vulture ahead of the show's upcoming 10th anniversary [3]. "This story came to us secondhand, but we were told she definitely auditioned and was bummed to not get it."

While it's hard to imagine anyone other than Blake Lively [4] as the blond bombshell, we are definitely curious to know how Lawrence would have tackled the role.
