Can we get a drumroll please?

The new Gossip Girl spin-off will center around…

Lily and Rufus when they were young.

Ta-da.

Or is it wa-wa-waaaah?

"The show will focus on the early romance between Lily and Rufus," saysGossip Girl insider (probably Josh Schwartz, that cheeky little PR hound). "It begins when they first meet, during a time when Rufus and his band are at the height of their career. The show will follow the high society and rock 'n' roll lifestyle in New York."

Mmm, we’re not sold yet. A show set in the 90s doesn’t do much to inspire our curiosity, nor get us excited about the fashion we’ll get to see. We remember that era, and it was not a kind time. Overalls with one strap down, flannel, chunky heels…not a good look.

No original cast members will leave Gossip Girl to join the spin-off. Instead "two new actors will be hired to play the young Lily and Rufus. Producers are planning to introduce the new couple during a flashback scene in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl."

All we can say is, don’t screw it up. We already have 90210, we don’t need another tragic train wreck disaster mucking up the CW.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
