Kristen ঘণ্টা in Bikini Bliss

Hilary Duff has left the building. The actress has concluded her run on Gossip Girl as Olivia Burke and there are no plans for her to come back this season.

That much was kind of expected after this week's episode and the aftermath of the now-infamous threesome. Olivia doubted Dan's feelings for her and left NYU.

But here's some other couples scoop E! Online just unearthed:

* Dan and Vanessa, as foreshadowed in "The Last Days of Disco Stick," are most definitely on. They will be getting together this season.
* Ditto Nate and Serena, who will become a bona fide couple.
* Rufus and Lily will have a major problem (Serena's father).
* Chuck and Blair will be going strong.

Starring in perhaps TV most fashionable প্রদর্শনী - and dating stylish co-star Blake Lively - has taught Penn Badgley a thing অথবা two about fashion.

Well, at least regarding what it says about a person: “What a woman wears says a whole lot about her confidence,” Penn tells Cosmopolitan.

Penn includes sweater dresses and V-necks amongst his পছন্দ items to see on any woman: "A sweaterdress really can be the sexiest thing."

"As a man, I just like the simpler things,” says the Gossip Girl star. “A plunging V-neck looks like she pulled it off the floor of a man’s bedroom."

"There’s something so sensual about it.”

Penn Badgley is even a অনুরাগী of fall’s hottest shoes, the over-the-knee boot. “If a strong, secure girl wears thigh-high boots, it can be stunning and powerful.”

At least Blake knows her on-screen friend and off-screen প্রণয় appreciates her style! Not that it's a huge chore for him to be dating Blake Lively, we imagine.

It had been too long, we were starting to wonder.

Blair and Serena haven't been involved in a nuclear fight in a good while now, but Michael Ausiello of EW says it's just a matter of time until that changes.

Here's what he has to say in his weekly Q&A ...

Q: I’m tired of some people bitching about Gossip Girl being in some kind of creative slump অথবা funk this year. I’m loving this season. Got any good scoop?

A: I’m (mostly) loving this season, too. The Chuck-Blair stuff continues to be immensely satisfying. And Hilary Duff isn’t as annoying as I predicted.

On the scoop front, there’s a big Blair-Serena blow-up coming. The frenemies will definitely be on the outs for a little bit.

What do আপনি think it's all about?

Watching Chuck and Blair actually make it as a couple has been one of the biggest treats of this Gossip Girl season's first four episodes. But will it last?

Also, is that rumored Gossip Girl threesome actually gonna happen?

Michael Ausiello of EW addresses both প্রশ্ন in his Q&A today:

Q: I know আপনি won’t say who partakes in the threesome on Gossip Girl, so I won’t even bother asking. I just want to know if it’s a dream অথবা if it’s real.

A: Oh, it’s real.

Q: I would প্রণয় some (good) news about Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl!

A: It doesn’t get much better than this: They’re still together and (relatively) happy through at least episode 11.

In Your Arms, Here I Lay - Prologue

"Please, Blair. Just hold on. Just hold on. Please," he begged me.

I felt the life being sucked out of me, little দ্বারা little.

I felt something wet land on my cheek. Chuck, I thought. He’s crying.

I felt আরো tears drop on my cheek. If I could, I would cry. But I can’t.

The important thing was that if I died, I would die in the arms of the one I love.

I’m sorry, Chuck. I can’t hang on much longer.

He couldn’t hear me. Of course he couldn’t. Only I could hear me.

I’m sorry, I kept saying in my head over and over again. I প্রণয় you.

A/N: শিরোনাম sucks, I know, LOL. But there`s the prologue. What do ya think? Reviews are love.

P.S: Chapter one's already up.
