Buzz Gift Guide: Good Stuff For Girls

BuzzSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:30:32 -0800

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. We're talking kids and teens this week, and since we've covered the boys already, today it's all about the teen girls.

Teenage girls (I know because I was one) can be hard to shop for since the age lends itself to phases. So, as Heidi would say, one day a gift is in, and the next - it's out. Today I've got some fun gifts that might satisfy varying tastes of entertainment-obsessed teens.

When I saw this hamburger phone I laughed to myself and thought of a few younger cousins who A) loved Juno and B) have a keen sense of irony. I've also yet to run into a young lady who doesn't (secretly or publicly) enjoy those Traveling Pants movies, and this limited-edition gift set looks awesome. In terms of gifting a music-loving girl, I think it would be hard to go wrong with the Gossip Girl soundtrack.

Finally, I love giving books to my loved ones for the holidays and found some great ones for girls, including this book of personal essays by teenage girls and a career guide based on shows like Ugly Betty.

Hamburger Retro Style Kitsch Phone ($15.99)	Find Your Inner Ugly Betty ($13.22)
OMFGG - Original Music Featured On Gossip Girl ($9.99)	Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 1 and 2 (Limited Gift Set Edition) ($26.99)	Red: Teenage Girls in America Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today ($11.20 )

OMFG! A Gossip Girl Soundtrack: Duh

BuzzSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:30:45 -0700

My question is: What took them so long? I kid, but honestly, you knew a Gossip Girl soundtrack had to be coming because a) that's what good teen dramas do, and b) the show is as good at music as it is at one-liners.

So, the first Gossip Girl soundtrack has been compiled by The O.C.'s former music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas (you know how I feel about her). OMFGG - Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl No. 1's 13 tracks will hit record store shelves near you on Oct. 28, and the album's also available online right now. It's generally a pretty good overview of the show's music, though it doesn't have the memorable "U.R.A. Fever," the song that's playing when Serena admits to murder.

The good folks of GG are also launching an entire site devoted to music on the show. I'm pretty excited for that site myself, because I rarely watch an episode without doing some searching for lyrics I heard.

Are you on your way to download the soundtrack? Are you excited for the new music site? I've got the track list after the jump - and super bonus Buzz respect and admiration goes to anyone who can figure out which song was played in which OMG moment last season. To check it out, just read more.

The Kills – “Sour Cherry”
The Kooks – "Do You Wanna"
Phantom Planet – “Do the Panic”
The Teenagers – “Feeling Better”
The Virgins – “One Week of Danger (Demo Version)”
Nadia Oh – “Got Your Number”
Crystal Castles – “Crimewave”
The Republic Tigers – “Fight Song”
Junkie XL – “Cities in Dust”
The Ting Tings – “We Started Nothing”
Oppenheimer – “Breakfast in NYC”
The Pierces – “Three Wishes”
Albert Hammond Jr. – “Hard to Live in the City”

First Look: Gossip Girl's Summery Start to Season Two

BuzzSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:30:15 -0700

Those marketing gurus over at the CW are at it again: We now have some cute teasers for the upcoming season of Gossip Girl from the folks who brought you OMFG. Gossip Girl returns September 1, and these clips reveal just how juicy S and B's summer in the Hamptons has been (hot lifeguards included).

Can you wait for the new season to start?! I bet as soon as you hit "play" on this video, the mere sight of Chuck in a fedora sipping a drink on the beach will give you the case of the LOLs (as Gossip Girl herself might put it). To check it out, read more.

First Look: Gossip Girl's Sexy Return

BuzzSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:31:59 -0700

Gossip Girl returns April 21, and from the looks of things, the CW wants to remind you of a couple of things:

The show stars some gorgeous young things.
They have sex with each other.
This is scandalous!

The jaded part of me wants to roll my eyes and say, well, of course they're going the nudity-and-sex route to promote a show that, while buzzed about, still doesn't get great ratings. But the GG fan in me is saying "OMFG!" right along with everyone else. We've already been promised more Bad Serena, but it looks like we'll be seeing more of everyone else's naughty side, too.

What do you guys think? Are the ads too much? Or do they just get you even more excited for the 21st? To check out two equally sexy video promos, just read more.

Top WTF Moments From Gossip Girl Episode "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

More appropriately titled "The Threesome Episode," this week's Gossip Girl is less about that saucy moment, and more about the politics on the Upper East Side. Jenny is rising, Serena is floundering; and even without the three-way, I found this episode way more enjoyable than last week's. As usual, let's get into the parts of the show that made you say OMFG and WTF - and to chat more, don't forget to participate in the XOXO Gossip Girl group in the BuzzSugar Community!
