Gossip Girl has become an iconic hit with only two seasons on the air. With all the guys, fashion and of course gossip what teenage girl wouldn't be attracted too it? With its dramatic scenes that focus on friends, relationships, money, and even in some cases drugs it will surely have as much, if not more, success as O.C and One Tree Hill. Gossip Girl is about a high class society of teens living their lives. The voice of Gossip Girl is played by actress Kirsten Bell. Gossip girl is never seen only heard. Serena Van der Woodsen (played by Blake Livly) comes back to town after leaving school because of a scandal that happened during the previous year, which starts the whole first episode. The New Yorker upper class clothing and scene is what brings in fans. Teenage Girls copy the styles of Blair Waldorf and other Characters. Another main reason teeage girls are such huge fans are the guys. Dan Humpfry the nice and intelligent "guy next door", Nate Archibold the very handsome honest guy, and ofcourse every drama needs its bad boy and that is Chuck Bass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_Girl_(TV_Series)
