Spotted: Chuck Bass sucking face with a dude!
It's true! Multiple Gossip Girl insiders confirm to me exclusively that the CW phenom is currently shooting an episode for its upcoming third season in which Ed Westwick's legendary lothario kisses another man.
Mr. Skin: When Women Kiss: From TV Stunts to Mainstream Reality
Girl-on-girl lip-locking as a TV ratings-boosting stunt, particularly during important "sweeps" periods, is so familiar that it's past the point of cliche. It now exists as a simple structural element, like theme music or a wacky neighbor. The website Jump the Shark even boasts a category for such canoodling, and there's an expansive Wikipedia page titled, simply, "Lesbian kiss episode". Unlike other shopworn TV tropes, however, "chicks making out" always works. Even more intriguingly, this tele-trend has penetrated beyond the screen to become a standard rite of passage among females in the real world -- and that is not a reference to the MTV series.
