Gossip Girl is Privileged

After the demise of our very, very favourite show - Gilmore Girls (all hail the Gilmore's) we consoled ourselves with the goings on in Alaska on 'Men In Trees'. The bastards at Australian television land saw fit to mess with the show and our joy was short lived.
We then discovered that Rina Mimoun, who worked on the last season of Gilmore Girls was the executive producer on a new show -PRIVILEGED
"It's very much 'What if the Gilmore Girls were teaching the Gossip Girls?'" said Rina.
Sounded good to us so we tried it on for size. Very enjoyable, of course not a patch on the Gilmore's but it filled part of the gap.

Where am I going with this you may be asking? Well....

It has been confirmed that Joanna Garcia, star of Privileged (which has been cancelled by the way) is appearing in a four-episode storyline on Gossip Girl as a love interest for Chace Crawford's alter ego, Nate Archibald.

Joanna Garcia will be playing the character of Bree Buckley, an irreverent, slightly evil Miss America-type who hails from a conservative Southern family. She will join the cast when it airs again next season.

How fun is that? From Gilmore Girls to Gossip Girl with one degree of separation, plus we will get to see more of Joanna and hopefully Nate will get a worthy storyline. It's all win-win.
