The bookserie ''gossip girl'' is very popular. I Know that a lot of you have read these books. I did too. There were plans to make a movie, but now there's coming a tv-serie based on the books. This is what happened: Two and a half years ago, "Gossip Girl" was set up as a feature at Warner Bros. Pictures with "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino on board to write the script and Lindsay Lohan attached to star. When the rights reverted to Alloy, the company's executives decided to develop the books for television. "The books are a soap opera, and TV makes a lot of sense," Morgenstein said. There are also rumours that they also stopped because fans of the books didn't want Lindsay Lohan playing Blair: there was even a petition on the internet started, check out thiscause.org/p/show_sigs.php?p=01604&page=37&epp=15&__USER_PAGE=38. We already know who's casted for the tv-serie: Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf Blake Lively as Serena van der Woodsen Chace Crawford as Nate Taylor Momsen as Jenny Penn Badgley as Dan Connor Paolo as Eric The serie is produced by: Bob Levy, Leslie Morgenstein, Stephanie Savage & Josh Schwartz. The serie will be on tv in 2007. The question is: will you watch this tv-serie???

I just put the no idea one, because I've never read it and I don't know much about it, but some people on here like it so maybe I would watch it to see what it's like. Not sure

Not sure The cast looks great, so if you have the time to watch it, you deffinitly should. If you like the serie, then you like the books even better because Cecily von Ziegesar has a fantastic writingstyle... I know that the books are 'chicklits' but they are my favourites

I put the no idea largely because i really have no idea. I have read the books but a lot of time scripts can make or break a t.v show. Also Gossip Girls is pretty risque it depends on who they are selling the t.v show to.... Is it more Sex and the City or Dawson's Creek. Personally I'm not too happy because the books are extremely graphic, almost to the point of erotica and they are targeted for young girls. So i don't know.... I'm not expecting miracles like GG was in its day!!

That's right: the Gossip Girl books are mostly read by young girls but I think that the serie will also be seen by a lot of older girls because they'll reconise issues and problems that they deal with...

I know that everyone looks different and I think that the books are still better but maybe we do have to watch before we say that we don't like it ;D! The trailer looks amazing to me by the way! And since you live in Holland, you must look at this site: gossipgirldetvserie.hyves.nl/ there's alot of information about the show there!
