Results tagged “Gossip Girl” from Access Hollywood

Yesterday I headed down to the uber-hip Echo Park neighborhood here in Los Angeles to hang out on the set of a new TheWB.com series called "Rockville, CA." It's a web only series created and executive produced by Josh Schwartz, the man behind "'Gossip Girl," "Chuck," and the late "OC" The show is a drama that centers on a group of LA hipsters who work at the fictional Rockville club and will feature performances from some very cool indie bands. It's not set to air until March though, so I'll tell you more about that project in a few months.

 

In the mean time, I grilled Josh for some scoop on our favorite guilty "Gossip" pleasure. Let's just say this is a man who is a good at keeping secrets, but I was able to squeak a few things out of him.

 

Even now they are still talking about "Gossip Girl" and how it's bad for teenagers to watch and how there is all this drinking and sex and drugs - things that we would hope that our teenagers in high school don't do. How do you feel about that?

 

I mean we got that on the "The OC" too and, you know, I'm sensitive to it. I get that there is a young audience watching and so, to that extent, I want to be responsible. At the same time I would harbor a guess that teenagers were having sex and drinking before "The OC," before television. I'm also weary of how much blame there is to weigh at the feet of these shows. 

 

OK. Let's debunk some of our spoilers that I have read on the message boards about 'Gossip Girl.' I've read obviously that someone is going to die. So you are confirming that?

 

I confirm that.

 

The rumor that everyone has put out is that its Chuck's dad, Bart?

 

I have read that rumor.

 

Close? Not close? Possible?

 

I would be violating what we just spoke about -- giving people something to watch (but not too much) [from an earlier conversation]. It's not Blake Lively.
