Brittany Snow is officially getting some company on the credits of the up-coming Gossip Girl spin-off.

Andrew McCarthy, who starred in Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo's Fire in the 80s as part of the Brat Pack and most recently was seen on NBC's Lipstick Jungle, has signed on to play young Lily Rhodes' (before she was a van der Woodsen) father, Rick, a music company executive.

While the idea that an 80s icon is now old enough to play someone's father is kind of depressing, we're so fired up about the spin-off that we can't help but be excited.

No word yet on who's going to being playing the young Rufus. We wish they could just shrink Matthew Settle and have him do it. He's foxy at any age.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
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!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip 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.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
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.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
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!
