TV Sneak Peek

Forget the rumors of in-fighting among the cast-the Gossip Girls just want to throw down on screen. "I want the bitch to come back!" declared Leighton Meester on the green carpet of the CW Network upfront presentation. "I feel like Blair's been getting a little soft," the actress continued. Any other fantasies for her character? "I hope she travels to tropical locations, because I want to go to Hawaii. Mama needs a tan!" said Meester as she headed inside the Lincoln Center bash to join co-star Blake Lively and the rest of the cast.

After wrapping up the business portion of their day, Chace Crawford and Taylor Momsen (in Rag & Bone) hit the Entertainment Weekly Vavoom annual upfront party at the Bowery Hotel. "Jenny kind of waved the white flag with Blair but I would still really love to see her gain some power," Momsen said of her hopes for next season. After dishing on Gossip, Momsen was among the stars who stepped up to the DVD signing station to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

Among the other Gossip Girl stars spotted around town were Michelle Trachtenberg, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr and Connor Paolo, who stopped by the fifth annual Lucky Club gift suite at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The gang picked up candy-colored denim from Madewell, skin care products from Skinceuticals and comfy cotton dresses from Michael Stars.

"I'm so glad to be back!" said Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly (in Abaete) when she hit the red carpet for the NBC Universal Experience upfront presentation at Rockefeller Center in N.Y.C. Leading men and ladies from small-screen favorites like The Office, Lipstick Jungle and ER were also on hand to hype the upcoming seasons of their shows.

Also at the NBC upfront presentation to promote their upcoming season was Ali Larter (in Gucci) and her fellow Heroes.
