Gossip
Girl
Have you ever wondered why do girls like to gossip so much? Well Wantitall has a full scoop just
for you from the first season to the latest season. Gossip Girl is
an American teen drama series based on the book series of the same name
written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series was created by Josh
Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and premiered on The CW on September 19,
2007. Narrated by the omniscient yet unseen blogger "Gossip Girl",
voiced by Kristen Bell, the series revolves around the lives of
privileged young adults on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York
City.
The first few episodes of the first season included the original
concept from the books, mainly following the lives of the five teenage
characters in their high school years. Serena van der Woodsen (Blake
Lively) is often described as the 'it girl'. It is revealed that she
has had a scandalous past that continues to haunt her; she is known for
her many off-again relationships with the male characters and is known
for rebellious drive outs. Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), an outsider
who becomes a part of the turbulent Manhattan scene, an aspiring writer
and fairly straight-arrow guy with a good heart and morals. Blair
Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is a beautiful Queen Bee of the Constance
Billard School's social scene, as well as Serena's best friend and
occasional rival. Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) is the perfect
"Golden Boy" of the Upper East Side, always being fought over by the
prominent female characters. Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) serves as the
show's antihero, being a womanizer and party lover with a troubled life
and past that provide a hidden vulnerable side.
Every episode begins with the blog page of the Gossip Girl blog with
Serena's picture from the pilot episode. Afterwards, a recap of events
relevant to the upcoming narrative is shown, which ends again with the
blog page, only this time with a picture from other character(s) with a
text about a recent event connected with the picture.
The narrator is always Gossip Girl, voiced by Kristen Bell.
She begins the recap with the sentence "Gossip Girl here, your one and
only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite," and
usually ends the episode with "You know you love me. X.O.X.O. Gossip
Girl."
