Gossip Girl Options

[Jeng]

i searched and couldnt find a topic on this series.
its by cecily von ziegesar and my sister reads these books
she ahtes when i readher books so i took her book and read them, one by one and i enjoyed them
its about rich teens and basically shex.
but these characters can relate to real life people
i enjoyed these

[miiichellley]

I read them too
Although i am nowhere near related to any of the characters.

[Siena Jade]

GOSSIP GIRL OWNS! I really hope they make it into a movie, although it could also make an interesting television series. Provided that it does justice to the books.

Although I wish Cecily was still writing them. And that Jenny hadn't left.

The burning question is, WHO is Gossip Girl?

[marzipan]

Oh, I've heard of this series! I haven't read it, but it definitely looks interesting.

[miiichellley]

yeah when does this series end?! i want to know who gossip girl is.

[laurie_]

series ended a long time ago.. now its the "notorious" series based on Jenny Humphrey

[Gigi]

^ What are you talking about? It never ended. The latest (10th) book was Would I Lie To You?, and the 11th one is coming out on May 1, 2007, called Don't You Forget About Me.

[miiichellley]

Series didn't end yet. CVZ is still writing more and more books!!
she's just writing It Girl as a side series.

GG is awesome
the way the author wrote the books are..unique

[Siena Jade]

^x2 I read in an interview with Cecily von Ziegesar that the GG books are now ghostwritten, she won't be writing them herself anymore but will still be credited as the creator of the series (notice the difference on the cover of book 10, how the "created by" was added?) The same thing goes with "The It Girl" series. Websites selling the book say that she's "currently working on the eleventh book in the series", though, so I dunno.

I did notice a bit of a difference in writing in GG #10, but I guess it's all the same in the end. I liked it better when they were all still in high school.

[Gigi]

^ Ghostwritten, huh? I wouldn't've been able to notice. It's not especially hard to emulate CvZ's writing, in this series anyway. GG has never been a particularly stimulating read. You have to admit though, it's immensely addicting.

[Jeng]

There's a tenth book? What's it called?
And I heard that they will be filming and making Gossip Girl into a show.

[Siena Jade]

The tenth Gossip Girl novel is called Would I Lie To You. The eleventh novel, coming out May 1, 2007, is called Don't You Forget About Me.

There was a rumour that GG was going to be made into a movie and that Lindsay Lohan would play Blair, but that's not going to happen I guess...but a movie may still be in the works? I don't see a GG television series going very far, though.

[miiichellley]

If there's a Gossip Girl movie, i definitely want to see it.

So do you mean CVZ didn't really write books 10, 11 etc at all?

[*My Cinderella.*]

I tried to get the first book at the library. They didn't have it.

Yeah, that movie was totally scrapped. At least, from the information (or lack, thereof) that's available at IMDb. But yeah, there is going to be a GG TV show.

Try requesting it through your county system or something. or just go to the bookstore and read it there.


A GG TV show? That actually sounds better than a movie..

[sakaitone]

The burning question is, WHO is Gossip Girl?

That's what I think we all want to know but seriously when will they tell us, is the 11th book the last one?

[Siena Jade]

No, I don't think so, CVZ hasn't given any indication that it would be. But GG has to end SOMETIME, I just hope it will have a good ending with not too many questions left to ask (highly unlikely.) And for everyone's sake, JUST TELL US WHO GOSSIP GIRL IS, CECILY!!! It makes us (me) sad. =(

But the thing is...what if we finally find out who Gossip Girl is, but she's someone we've never heard of? That'll be kind of disappointing.

Seriously and it would make her sort of stalkerish because she knows so much about every one even if she's in a different location as she claims...Wouldn't it be wierd if GG was actually a guy? It's sort of unlikely but the GG series is very suprising.

[OhMyAnniee]

I haven't read them. I want to reaaaaaaally bad.

But.
It's going to made into a TV Series for theCW.
The pilot was ordered & the pilot is going to be written by the creator of theOC and Amy Palledino or whatever her name is from Gilmore Girls.

EDIT:
Gilmore Girls & Gossip Girl. GG & GG. Hahahaaaaa.

[miiichellley]

hm, does anyone know when it's going to premiere?

Yeah, I know, huh? I mean...think about it. If she really was as 'cool' as all the other girls in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, wouldn't she have better things to do than to keep track of what everyone's doing at every given moment?

I say that GG is one of the terribly annoying girls like Kati Farkas or Isabel Coates, or someone that's not in their crowd at all. Oh, dear, what if it's Chuck Bass?

HAHA, Chuck would be an awesome Gossip Girl! In one of the earlier books, wasn't GG speculated to be a guy? But she denied it. I also thought it could possibly be Kati or Isabel, but I doubt that they would talk about themselves on the site, especially since Gossip Girl doesn't necessarily always have the best things to say about them?

This is driving me crazy.

I reeeeeeally want to see a TV show, though. I hope it doesn't get cancelled faster than you can say Smith.

[miiichellley]

^ yeah that's what i was thinking. i mean, a lot of people read the books but who knows how good the tv show will be? just like movies, usually the book ends up being better...
