The 2008 Paley Festival [1], a big ol' convention for TV stars, writers, and fans, kicked off over the weekend in Los Angeles. This year's 25th annual festival includes panels for several Buzz-approved shows —Pushing Daisies [2], Chuck [3], and Friday Night Lights [4], among many others — and I'm pleased to report that I'll be heading down to LA for two of them: Thursday night's Buffy the Vampire Slayer [5] reunion and Saturday's gab-fest with the cast of Gossip Girl [6].

If you've got questions for those folks, feel free to leave them in the comments — or, better yet, pass them on yourselves! The festival organizers are taking questions from fans [7] for the upcoming events. Awesomely, they're also posting video highlights and, eventually, photos [8] from each panel — and the Gossip Girl panel will be streamed live in full [9] on Saturday.

The festival really got started over the weekend with the Pushing Daisies panel; check out reports from TV Guide [10] and fan site ThePiemaker [11] for what went down. And to watch a video with Chi McBride demonstrating his very Emerson Cod-esque wit, just .
