Uh oh, what did Chuck do wrong this time? Smoking pot in the gymnasium? Ditching Art History for daydrinking at Bemelman’s Bar at the Carlyle Hotel? Oh, the possibilities. We’re pretty sure Chuck must have done something naughty for his father, the powerful and infamous real estate tycoon Bart Bass, to take time from his busy schedule to talk to a bunch of St. Jude’s students and their parents on a random Monday night. Let’s just hope Mr. Bass sticks to giving advice on business and doesn’t share any child raising tips. We don’t want parents following that advice. This city isn’t big enough for more little Chuck Basses running around.

Um, I don’t know anything/could care less about lacrosse so this doesn’t really interest me but maybe others are into it. This was an article from the St. Jude’s Journal. Seems like St. Jude’s has a pretty good team this year (and a hot one, might I add – okay, I lied maybe I do care about lacrosse but only about the hot players). Kevin Forsyth is way cute and it’s so depressing that he’s graduating in June. I’m sure going to miss him (and his killer smile). Also, I’m totally jealous of the opposing player who committed the “unnecessary roughness” against Nate Archibald. Maybe Gossip Girl should start playing lacrosse. If it means playing dirty with some of the hottest boys on the Upper East Side then sign me up!

Spotted: S and D still hot and heavy in the halls of school. Gossip Girl gets it that you two are in love and whatever but seriously, get a freaking room! J and her new friends brunching at Peacock Alley at the Waldorf Astoria. Little J was living it up; caviar for breakfast? Yum. N in Sheep Meadow with his weapon of choice: a lacrosse stick. That boy sure knows how to use that thing. Surprisingly, C was spotted below 55th Street at the cool, new wine bar Gottino. He was sipping an aged Chateau Margaux. And I think we might have gotten a glimpse of B walking into the John Frieda Salon. She was wearing big sunglasses and had a hat covering her face. Why so shy, B? Won’t you come out and play? We miss you.
