Brittany Snow Nabs Lead Role in Gossip Girl Spinoff!
February 26th, 2009 by Evil Beet
Oooh, this is exciting!
I’m a HUGE Brittany Snow fan. I wasn’t planning on watching the Gossip Girl spinoff, about Lily van der Woodsen’s wild-child life in the ’80s, but now I might have to tune in.
“Brittany always thought she was going to continue her career in films,” says an insider. “But this is a marvelous part and she just couldn’t say no. This has the potential to be a huge show in the tradition of Melrose Place.”
Uhhhh, I don’t think that’s an insider so much as it’s a PR rep, but, still. This could be an awesome opportunity for Brittany. She’s such a versatile actress, and I’m glad to hear she’ll be back on TV.
The show’s pilot will air on May 11 as a Gossip Girl episode.

OOh! Best news ever! Brittany seems like such a sweetheart! Can’t wait for the new spinoff!
yay!
She sure does have beautiful eyes!
She’s so pretty but what the hell is she wearing?
Really? A spinoff of that horribly painful to watch show? Good lord.
Love the dark hair on her!
I LOVE her! What was the name of the series she was on a few years ago that was set in the ’60’s and it was sort of like American Bandstand kids and her family? I really loved that show.
American Dreams
It was American Dreams.
i like her better blonnndeee, if she was gunna go dark she should go rEALLY dark like megan fox..
Wow – Stunning eyes!!!
i couldn’t get ten percent off my plastic land order using the EVILB code :(
Hm, really? I don’t run that site, and I have nothing to do with that promotion, but I will send them an email to see what’s up. That’s not cool.
Beet, you rock.
She’s pretty, but she doesn’t look like Lily at all (even when blonde.)
Oh well, I’ll definitely be watching it anyway.
I don’t know. there’s something about her chin & face shape that’s very lily vander woodsen
she has HUGE eyes!
i’ve never seen anyone with eyeballs that big…
they’re mighty pretty.
That’s too bad. I like Brittany Snow but I tried watching Gossip Girl a couple times and I just can’t. Perhaps an 80s spin would help since I love all things 80s. Still, I imagine it will be painful.
I think Britt will be good! She was great on American Dreams. She doesn’t look exactly like Kelly Rutherford, but who does?
Has everyone heard that No Doubt will be on the original GG in May? How crazy is that?! Check it out: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=387
this show is going to be good for sure, but i’d prefer another season of gossip girl…
