TV Tonight: Gossip Girl

BuzzSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:30:50 -0700

With Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke already making guest appearances on Chuck, it should come as no surprise that Josh Schwartz likes to keep his OC alumni busy with jobs on his shows. The latest: Willa Holland, The OC's (second) Kaitlin Cooper, who will appear on Gossip Girl tonight.

Holland stars in the first of three episodes tonight as Agnes, a young model who becomes a friend of Jenny's and will have a big influence on Little J's career aspirations. According to Holland, "Agnes sees Jenny as somebody who’s not working for herself; she’s working for everybody else. She has a lot of talent and potential, so Agnes pushes her to get out on her own." She also may turn out to be a bit of a flake - but a well-intentioned one.

This episode also puts Taylor Momsen's dramatic haircut in full effect, along with what appears to be an entire drugstore worth of eyeliner. In other news, Serena's going to click with a new guy (an artist named Aaron Rose, played by John Patrick Amedori), and Blair and Chuck continue their little games. To watch a preview, just read more.

The Results Are In: Recast Boy Meets World

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:34:57 -0700

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Thanks for tossing in your new cast ideas for that beloved '90s sitcom, Boy Meets World last week. It was a very informative trip down young Hollywood lane for me and I had several moments that went something like, "Oh so that's who that kid is" as I matched your suggestions to faces. I totally hear you cordata: Thinking of actors under 18 is challenging!

A few of you, including ShePirate2008 and lellybear, thought Shia Labeouf would make a great Cory and I agree that once upon a time he was an excellent awkward teen. But alas, he's a bit older now and probably "too cool" for the role. I also thought savilerow085's suggestion that Alexandar Gould from Weeds is a great idea for Cory.

I got a kick out of all the Topangas including leeluvfashion's idea for Willa Holland (remember her from The O.C.?) and chasingjamie's suggestion for Miriam McDonald (even though she changed her mind to Brittany Snow later).

In the end, it was a great young cast and a truly spot-on Mr. Feeny that won this week's challenge: congrats to kea718!

To see who she chose, along with a new cast photo, read more.

kea718's cast list:
Cory Matthews - Devon Werkheiser
