Everybody’s talking about Gossip Girl.
The teen drama based on a book series written by Cecily von Ziegesar is making its way to be one of the newest top teen shows not just in America, but also in other countries around the globe.
To those who are not familiar with the show, Gossip Girl revolves around the crazy and scandalous lives of Manhattan’s Upper East Side teens as unfolded by an anonymous blogger named ‘Gossip Girl’.
Here are three reasons why boys and girls alike are buzzing about the gossip-worthy show.
1. The show is entertaining.
Intrigues, controversies, lies are just some of the things that make Gossip Girl a guilty pleasure. The drama and the conflicts between characters never stop to amuse its viewers. The show showcases our superficial fantasies in a satirical manner about the lives of the super rich and powerful while satisfying them.
2. The show teaches boys and girls a thing or two about fashion.

Gossip Girl introduced new trends in fashion—wearing headbands with big bows like Blair Waldorf won’t make you look silly but instead will make you look so adorable and pastel-colored clothes on boys look so playful yet manly just like Chuck Bass.
The show set a lot of trends that do not only encourage teens to be modern, but also to have their own kind of look.
3. The characters have depth though flawed, that makes them somehow relatable and lovable to the viewers.
(L-R) Chace Crawford as Nate Archibald, Blake Lively as Serena van der Woodsen, Ed Westwick as Chuck Bass, Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf, Penn Badgley as Dan Humphrey and Taylor Momsen as Jenny Humphrey.
Do you have lots of insecurities like Blair Waldorf? Are you longing for your parents’ approval like Chuck Bass? Are you someone like Serena van der Woodsen, a former rebel who is trying to walk on the right path now? Do you want to prove something to the world by being yourself just like Nate Archibald? Are you trying to fit in like Jenny Humphrey? Do your dreams fuel you to work better like Dan Humphrey?
The characters in the show are not perfect; each of them has their own flaws and faces their own troubles. Those make them more human.
Gossip Girl is currently filming its third season and is expected to premiere on September 2009. Watch out for more gossip-worthy plot twists, more fashionable moments and more drama between characters. We know we love it because nobody does it better than Gossip Girl.
