Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester and Hugo Becker Fogged headlights Gossip Girl executive producer Josh Safran doesn't - and won't - discuss if the requires the show's fifth season: the identity of who's pregnant, a possible second look at Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell (so amazed by Serena's understanding in the Beautiful and Damned he handed her a summer season job), Ivy, the place in the real Charlie (so when it even matters), the fall-from Dan's Upper East Side-bashing book, Georgina, gone-but-angry outcast Vanessa ... Fall preview: Get scoop inside your favorite returning shows Fortunately, numerous people high high cliff-wardrobe wardrobe hangers will immediately be labored with when Gossip Girl returns (Monday, 8/7c, CW). TVGuide.com rather got Safran's ideas about why Blair is nearly the show's best character (unquestionably), how can this be year more fun than last (even if this didn't originate from Paris) and why Serena may find yourself being the most effective movie producer ever: Within the finish of last season, you mentioned Serta (Penn Badgley) and Blair (Leighton Meester) were totally not over. Josh Safran: I uphold that statement. So there's Chuck (Erection dysfunction Westwick) as well as the Prince (Hugo Becker) and Serta - Blair will probably be choosing among three males? Safran: Blair is not choosing. Blair has selected her guy. But when you saw inside the season finale, Serta retains feelings for Blair. And Chuck and Blair use a complicated relationship - which i personally use that term meaning in the way people interact with each other, not relationship just like partnership. There's an association that's omnipresent. It's certainly an very unique ... square? Gossip Girl: Serta and Blair aren't over! Plus, more season-ending spoilers Blair is unquestionably most likely probably the most interesting person around the program at this time around. Safran: I am certain it's been in TV before, but to date once we are worried it's not (laughs), but we're very excited by various sides to Blair. It's like Chuck mentioned within the finish in the last season's finale: you will discover great loves and you'll find right loves. A person's heart is really unlimited, it doesn't just get chock-full once which could it be. All the males fulfill different needs in Blair, and something factor she struggles using this several weeks are searching for who fills within the most, most likely probably the most you will have to create a existence with. For the moment, Blair's busy planning her royal wedding, right? Which kind of extravagance will we expect that? Safran: Most of the authors are married, it is therefore been fun to delve to, like, if you did the dessert-tasting -- let us suppose it's the cake-tasting for just about any future princess. Which is Gossip Girl so even if it absolutely was a "standard wedding"... even at Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus' (Matthew Settle) wedding, you understand, Sonic Youth carried out. So imagine our royal wedding. Are you able to say Blair one-ups William and Kate? Safran: It is not a pointed out goal, however we'd passion for the wedding to look as lovely as that. It's just that on network television 2011 it's unlikely. Hopefully it rivals that - they're certainly going to experience a huge beautiful Monegasque wedding. See which duos made our report on best TV couples You've referred to as this approaching fifth season lighter plus much more fun. Had you been looking for something different from a year ago? Safran: Well, the Juliet (Katie Cassidy) story was twisty and dark plus it required it's origin from revenge as well as the wrongs of history, and last season began with Chuck getting been shot and what went lower to him, the sadness of Blair inside the Chuck and Jenny (Taylor Momsen) factor ... I had been entering the summer season with numerous darkness and reaching for the light next ... we just saw this season as like: OK, let's open with La, land of sun and breezes and many types of that stuff. And the way did filming in L.A. rival Paris? Safran: I'm speaking about, nothing comes even close to shooting in Paris! Shooting in La is incredible - when hands are excellent, the cast was great, the locations are beautiful. But Paris is Paris. Once we pick support, Serena (Blake Lively) features a place she's dwelling in L.A. as well as the boys use a yacht. And you'll hear exactly how these were considering the fact that yacht inside the premiere. But to date as La, it's certainly the Gossip Girl version from this. We're around the backlot, the truth is the ocean - while not in the Malibu beach house because that's Entourage's L.A., that is not our L.A. I had been trying to find very mid-century modern houses, Neutras, that kind of sleek, sexy, glamorous L.A. Like, once we may have shot within the Chateau, we'd have. Serena didn't like like a personal publicist. Now it seems as though she's showed up employment she likes in Hollywood. Good choice on her behalf? Safran: I really think Serena's capabilities as someone who's the center of attention and who brings people together and who, you understand, wears a shoe and out of the blue everyone wants that shoe, For me, yes, Hollywood is probably a great place on her. Especially being to the side of film they is - not acting, but behind the curtain around the producer-type track, somebody who can put things those and projects together. Also in L.A. is Elizabeth Hurley's character, Diana Payne, a media mogul getting an enthusiastic fascination with Gossip Girl. We all know she'll interact with Nate (Chace Crawford), exactly why is she considering this website? Safran: Anyone who arises from media in NY City is very alert to Gossip Girl just like a major media presence and Diana virtually desires to be near the top of the media game. She sees Gossip Girl as a way of the. What about Dan's novel (Upper East Side tell-all)? What size might be the autumn-out apt to be? Safran: That story really will unfold pretty progressively - progressively for Gossip Girl anyways - therefore it won't be immediate but it has reverberations with the whole season. Let me request yet another way: Is anybody happy about his book being launched? Safran: Certainly you will discover a range of reactions positive to negative.
