Gossip Girl doesn’t usually endorse a political candidate.  But I’m making an exception with Trip van der Bilt (I’ve talked about him enough that I feel like he’s part of the fam).  Trip’s running for New York City’s 8th District Congressional Seat.  If you’re over eighteen, I strongly encourage you to go out and vote.  Along with giving me all your juicy tips, voting is your civic duty.

I’ve been getting reports all week that Serena has been out and about with new boyfriend, actor Patrick Roberts.  Serena and the Endless Knights star have been spotted causing quite a scene at numerous clubs and bars around town.  Seems like S is bringing her work home with her.  Literally.  Patrick is among one of KC’s clients at the PR firm.  Could these two be falling in love?  Or is this just another publicity stunt?  Hmm.  With Serena, you never know.  The girl is just always making headlines.

Halloween.  No matter the age it seemed like everyone was up to some tricks.  And luckily for us, there were even a few treats…

Chuck was worried about his new hotel.  It wasn’t becoming the major hotspot he had envisioned.  What would Bart Bass think?  Chuck could not have a failure on his hands at such a young age.  So he decided he needed to open the club at the hotel ASAP.  If the Gimlet Club was a hit then the hotel would surely be a hit too.  Chuck enlisted help from his stepsister, Serena.  She was working for publicist extraordinaire/bitch extraordinaire KC Cunningham.  Chuck asked Serena to do the publicity for his opening night.  Of course, she agreed.  Her first real job assignment!  However, Chuck told Serena he wanted to keep Blair far away from all of this.  Unfortunately for Chuck, Blair overheard his request.  WTF?  She was obviously offended.  Was Chuck still mad at her about the whole kissing a guy thing?  Blair was confused.  And in typical Blair form, she just couldn’t stay away…

But it looked like the Gimlet Club might not even open because Chuck was having a hard time getting a liquor license.  This was bad.  He had a ton of people showing up to a costumed kick-off party and needed a liquor license stat.  Blair knew of his dilemma and wanting to be a good girlfriend she called in a favor.   When the liquor license showed up Chuck was relieved and he went to apologize to Blair.  He was sorry for not wanting her to be a part of the whole opening the club process.  Blair was elated.  She was back on his good side.  But not for too long.  At the Gimlet, Chuck finally found out who it was that got him the license.  It was Jack Bass!  Blair called him??  Yep!  Chuck was livid at Blair.  How could she call the one person he hated?  The one person he wanted nothing to do with?  Blair had once again manipulated a situation.  What else was new?  Chuck disinvited her to the opening.  OMG!  Blair asked Serena to leave with her that moment.  But guess what?  Serena decided to stay.  With Chuck.  Blair was enraged.  Eek.

Meanwhile, Dan finally caught up with pop culture and watched one of the Endless Knights movies.  Nate brought it over and the two of them viewed the blockbuster.  Nate let Dan know that Olivia actually dated her co-star Patrick Roberts.  So the hot scenes between the two of them might not have just been acting.  Ugh, the downside to dating a movie star.  Dan and Olivia were actually planning on sealing the deal after Chuck’s club opening (yes, she was spotted buying condoms at the health center!).  But now that Dan had seen the movie how could he ever compare with super sexy Patrick?  She levitated for god’s sake!

All the while, Jenny was reigning over her Queendom.  And it was a whole lot harder than it seemed.  In order for Jenny to be respected she needed everyone to listen to her.  This included Eric and Jonathan.  The two of them followed her demands since they knew the rules of being Queen B.  But when Jenny’s requests became a bit much, they revolted.  The couple decided they weren’t going to take Jenny’s crap and sat above her on the steps of the Met (!!).  And that’s when Eric got yogurt’d!  Jenny gave the order for the new mean girls to pour their parfait all over the poor kid.   Sibling rivalry?  Or just a queen being a bitch?  Of course, Jenny got in trouble with Lily.   She was not going to be able to go to the Gimlet opening unless she brought Eric with her and made the mean girls apologize to him.  Oh brother.

Blair was throwing herself a pity party with Dorota.  This was so unfair!  Shut out of her own boyfriend’s club opening?  The horror!  But then an arrangement of flowers arrived.  Oh, that Chuck.  Blair figured it was an “I’m sorry” from him.  But no.  The flowers were from Jack.  And in the note that accompanied them was the revelation that the liquor license Jack acquired was a phony.  Like Jack could ever have been that nice.  Blair raced to the club to inform Chuck.  But he already knew.  Of course, two sneaky minds think alike.  Instead of shutting down the party right away, they called the cops.  Why not turn this opening into one no one would ever forget?

At the party, Jenny and Eric seemed to make up.  Fighting was stupid and overrated.  Were these two going to be besties once again?  No way!  While Jenny was hanging with Eric, the new mean girls were egging Jonathan.  Bitches!  When Eric found out about it he was not happy.  And the last person he wanted to talk to was Jenny.  Ever again.  Rough.

Serena was livid about Blair calling the cops.  This event was super important to her.  She had to prove herself to KC.  Serena was supposed to be getting her clients good publicity not getting their mugshots taken.  Blair told her that like Serena before she had also chosen Chuck.  Oh snap.

Not only did Dan have to worry about impressing Olivia in bed, he also had to worry about KC getting in the way of his new relationship.  She was set on breaking Dan and Olivia up.  The fame of Patrick Roberts, Olivia’s co-star, lied on the shoulders of Olivia.  Without her he was yesterday’s news.  A future Mark Hamill if you will.  Unfortunately for Serena, she had to deal with this crazy request.  And Olivia felt like it was her obligation to at least pretend Patrick was still her bf.  Dan was unhappy with all of this but he went along with it.  As the publicist, it was Serena’s job to arrange a picture be taken of Olivia and Patrick together.  But then Serena grew a conscience.  She didn’t want to be that kind of publicist.  So Serena tricked Dan and Olivia into kissing and announced to the paparazzi that these two were an official couple.  KC was pisssssed.  Though when the press asked who Patrick was now dating Serena decided to take it into her own hands.  Literally.  She grabbed Patrick and told them he was her boyfriend.  Then she kissed him.  Whoa.  S a star-effer?  Hmm…

The cops chased everyone out but not before the paparazzi were able to photograph the who’s who.  The Gimlet Club opening was for sure the party of the season.  Everything ended up working out.  Blair was so excited.  She and Chuck’s plan worked!  All was right with the world.  Blair really wanted to celebrate with her boyfriend and best friend.  Unfortunately, S wanted nothing to do with her.  Blair was a bitch.  Serena wasn’t going to forgive Blair for this shenanigan.

Without Patrick in the picture, Olivia was able to be with Dan.  And only Dan.  So the two made use of Olivia’s free condoms and well, you get the idea.  Hello, my site is called Gossip Girl, not Graphic Girl.

With the whole Blair and Serena squabble, does this mean we have another S/B war approaching?  Okay, it’s common knowledge that I love these besties and all but I gotta admit that when Serena and Blair fight it’s way entertaining.  Sorry, but it’s true.  And besides, we all know with these two, friendship is a battlefield.  Xoxo Gossip Girl

Spotted: D and gf Olivia at Bleecker Street Records.  They bought the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack.  No surprise since according to an interview in People in 2007, Olivia is a big Karen O. fan.  B and Dorota running errands all around the UES.  Poor Dorota   She looked exhausted.  J w/ the new mean girls at Sant Ambroeus.  They were discussing their Halloween costumes.  Hmm wondering what they’re gonna go as… C doing business at the Empire Hotel.  Love seeing C strut his entrepreneur stuff!  N at the Yankees-Angels game at Yankee Stadium.  He was sitting in his grandfather’s box with his cousin.  S working the opening of new hotspot, Q Club.  Um, S is actually really good at her job.  Takes a party girl to help throw a good party, I guess.

Thank goodness is all I can say.  Constance Billard is back to its usual hierarchy self.  I’m not going to lie.  It was a bit rough in the beginning.  The thought of the school just falling apart because a certain you know who was trying to be all nice and equal was absolutely terrifying.  But now it seems like everything is going to be okay.  Sigh of relief.  The Queen has assumed her position and things are finally back to normal.  The chain of command has been implemented and every girl at school knows where she falls in line.  Geez.  Could you even imagine Constance becoming a place without a ladder of power?
