Now let’s see if CAA can accomplish what Chace Crawford wants: to get a lot more money from the CW. Trouble is, CW topper Dawn Ostroff isn’t budging. That’s what happens when an actor is part of an ensemble cast.

(Oops, he’s suddenly Gossip Girl’s Written-Out Guy.) As I reported previously, the 23-year-old who just won the Teen Choice Award for breakout TV star warned ICM he was taking other agency meetings.

Chace Crawford’s rep is denying rumors that the actor, 22, is having a fling with his Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick. (Blogs had claimed the two shared an open-mouth kiss on the set of their CW hit.)

“These endless rumors are absolutely untrue,” his rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

It isn’t the first time Crawford — who split with Carrie Underwood earlier this year — has dodged gay rumors.

Earlier this year, blogs claimed he and JC Chasez were an item, prompting the NSYNC singer to declare his heterosexuality on a radio station.

“That whole story got blown out of whack,” Chasez told Us at a Stride Gum bash in L.A. on June 20. “It was so stupid, but I’m happy for him because his show is doing great, and he is a great guy.”

While Chace Crawford’s Gossip Girl character Nate Archibald may hit all the New York hotspots, in real life the actor plays it cool – especially when it comes to first dates.

“The ideal, I think, when you’re starting out, is something low-key, like playing the [Nintendo] Wii, ordering in pizza and then grabbing a beer,” Crawford, 22, told People at Wednesday’s launch of the Stoli Hotel in Manhattan.

But come time to step out, the actor says he’d take off “to a concert in Central Park or an NBA basketball game, if she likes sports.” (His teams of choice? “The Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Cowboys – I’m a Texas kid!”)

Crawford famously dated Carrie Underwood – until the pair split up over text message – but now says he’s single, being so busy with work and his fitness regimen.

“Part of me being single is focusing on my work right now,” says Crawford, who joked, “I’ve been dating my gym bag for a while now.”

When in a relationship, though, the Gossip guy finds himself getting creative in the gift department.

“I like to do artwork and draw,” he says. “I did a big beautiful drawing – and it was very meaningful to [my girlfriend], and she loved it … that’s the kind of stuff that I like to do.”
