The Gossip Boys!
I watch Gossip Girl, and I love it. It’s not going to win any awards any time soon, but I still like it. 
Since rising to fame on CW’s Gossip Girl, Chace Crawford says he’s been slapped with lots of labels.
“Model turned actor, dime a dozen, eye candy, doesn’t know what he’s doing … and Perez Hilton says I have ‘gayface,’” Crawford, 23, says in November’s Details. “So on top of everything else, I have to overcome gayface.”
Growing up in the wealthy Dallas suburb of Plano, Crawford says he wasn’t anything like his Gossip character, the preppy Nate Archibald.
“I’m pretty sure I wasn’t having sex with any cougars,” he says, referring to his current storyline on the show.
The most “mind-blowingly inappropriate” thing he did in high school?
“An idiotic glass-punching thing” that left him with a scar on one wrist, he tells Details.
He moved on to college to study broadcast journalism at California’s Pepperdine University, but dropped out.
He briefly worked a valet (Suge Knight was a client!) before moving on to modeling. But being handled and positioned made him feel “like an animal,” he says.
When he signed on for Gossip, he says he wasn’t sure the show would last. So he asked co-star — and Drew Barrymore fling — Ed Westwick to be his roommate.
“I thought, ‘Let’s pool our money and get something good,’” Chace says. “I didn’t even know if the show was going to last.”
He has six more seasons to go under his contract.
“It never really gets frustrating,” he says. “Sure, sometimes you just want to have a scene where you’re drunk or having fun. I’m hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!”
He says the show’s fans continue to amaze him.
“Once when we were on location on the Upper East Side,” he says, “these girls came up, you know, with the Blair headbands and their skirts hiked up higher than they should be, and I said to them, ‘So, are you looking at colleges?’ and they said, ‘No, we’re in seventh grade.’”
Says Crawford, “I was like, ‘What?! You shouldn’t even be watching our show!’”
Out of the three, who’s the hottest? (I say Penn)
