Who better to recap each week’s new episode of Gossip Girl than author Cecily von Ziegesar? Find out all her favorite moments in “The Return of the Ring” (Season 5, Episode 24).

Hey People,

I suppose I should feel sad that we won’t get to see all these Upper East Siders until the autumn wind blows once more. But these final turns of events were so bitter and so not very sweet that I’m almost happy for the break. Of course I always love watching the train wreck that is S, sliding down the slippery, coke-dusted slope into Bad Girl Country yet again. But did you notice that the entire cast was scowling right along with her? This is one big unhappy group. Let this be a lesson to you: the more you have, the bigger the mess.

That doesn’t mean you can’t look good going down. Here are some things that delighted me this week:

Favorite Boy: Chuck looked particularly handsome and vulnerable and dewy-eyed. And we know he means not what he says, particularly when he’s talking to Blair. Which leads me to…

Most frustrating moment: When Blair told Chuck she loved him, and he didn’t just shut up and kiss her.

Prettiest lips: I want the lip gloss B was wearing when she wore that raspberry pink blazer with the big flower brooch. Her lips looked berry, berry spectacular.

Most Please-Tell-Me-You’re-Not-Falling-For-This Moment: When Serena was like, “Will you unzip me Dan? Don’t worry, I’m wearing a slip.” Since when do you go to the Campbell Apartment to dry off when someone spills a drink on you? Next time try the ladies room.

Meanest Eyebrows: Lily’s. They get thinner and more severely sculpted the more selfish and power-hungry she becomes. By the time she gets back together with Bart she’ll be totally eyebrowless and will have to tattoo them on.

Best Dress: Blair’s geranium red number with sparkly gold circles at the casino in Paris in her final scene. She was playing it all demure, but she was dressed to slay.

Best I’m-Too-Messed-Up-To-Even-Talk-Straight Slur: Serena in the final scene. It’s fun to watch history repeat itself. So, so much fun.

Will D ever return from Rome? Will he and Georgina get involved for real this time? Will she convince him to cut his hair? Will B win Chuck’s hand at blackjack, steal his heart back, and put a ring on it in Paris? Will we ever see Rufus again? Will S fall down in a drug-addled haze, get amnesia, and return to New York thinking she’s Jenny Humphrey? Will B and S remember that they both used to be in love with Nate back in high school, and realize how much he misses them?!

Rumor has it there’s only one season left to go. But let’s not let that ruin our summers. As if anything could.

You know you love it,

xoxo -CvZ

“I keep my guard up a lot, because you know, you can’t trust anyone in this business. That’s what’s sad. You can’t trust anybody. I learned the hard way.”–Justin Bieber shares the downside of fame with GQ magazine. Check out the behind the scenes vid of his gentlemanly shoot and interview…XOXO.

Ripped pants? An overzealous fan? Accidental cussing? One Direction hottie Harry Styles opens up about the most mortifying moment ever to happen since he’s found fame with the delicious little boyband. Take a look…XOXO.

Harry Styles’ Most Embarrassing Moment

“I still love her as a human being. But, sometimes when you’re in a relationship I suppose it doesn’t work out, does it? But that doesn’t mean I regret it or anything. I was very happy to be married with her. She’s such a beautiful human being and I just have only love and positivity for her.”–Russell Brand sounds suspiciously diplomatic on The Ellen DeGeneres show when it comes to his divorce from Katy Perry.

Am I the only one who suspects that just beneath the surface these two could scratch each other’s eyes out?

Adults are typically best when ignored and politely tolerated, but today I must admit that I’m positively inspired by Kelly Rutherford‘s crisp, chic look at the Sheraton Social Hour launch party in NYC. If your clique turns up in brights and neon, take a cue from Kel and opt for a mix of whites and neutrals to truly stand out and rightly steal the spotlight. You know you love me…XOXO.

Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively made the Victoria’s Secret “What’s Sexy Now” list for 2012. The Victoria’s Secret Angels made this video and announced that Blake had the sexiest summer style.

We think she has some of the sexiest style all year round. (The girl even looks hot in braces and glasses!) Just look at these pictures we collected from some of her big red carpet events. Her character Serena van der Woodsen may be the It Girl of the Upper East Side, but Blake is the It Girl of Hollywood.

What look below do you think is the sexiest? Leave a comment with your vote!

Seeing as it’s gala season, I hardly have time to sit around and watch a bunch of high school rejects break into song every time they have an emotion, but for my minions who do watch Glee, tell me what you think of last night’s cameo by Lindsay Lohan. The professional trainwreck played herself, and poked fun at her (failed) attempts at staging a comeback. Did you squeal with delight to see LiLo’s name in lights once more? Or is she still one small step away from Celebrity Rehab?

Hot or Not: Lindsay Lohan on Glee

Bye-bye, short hair and sweet outfits. Hayden Panettiere was all vamp at the ABC upfronts last night, sporting a serious set of extensions and a slinky red dress you’d expect to find on Kim K. or Lindsay Lohan. But our angelic little Hayden? Hardly! Do you like her grown-up new look? Or is she trying to hard to be seen as more than just The Cheerleader?
