Coach & Gossip Girl, Like Duh

georgina for poppy for coach.jpgThe best part of this article, in which WWD explains they’ve heard Michelle Trachtenberg’s ‘designing’ a line of jewelry for Coach’s new Poppy line, is when they describe her, “tough-girl meets sugary-sweet vibe.”

That’s Georgina, right? Minus the all-important word “psychopath?”

So she’s making baubles with Coach for spring. The line will focus on colorful crystals and fake pearls with “intricate hardware.” We loved the necklace she wore last night, to the nightmarish American Eagle flagship opening in Times Square, so maybe, despite our increasing distaste for celebrity collaborations, we’ll like what she does for Poppy.

(More on Leighton’s performance once I figure out how to upload videos to Youtube.)

If The Gossip Girls Were Designers…

gossip girl shoes.jpgEventually, one of the Gossip Girl stars will design some kind of line. Our money’s on Blake being the first, but until then, here’s a sneak peek of what those designs would probably look like -

Blake, Leighton, and even Michelle, have all designed shoes for Stuart Weitzman’s Annual Celebrity Shoe Auction, and so far, Blake’s candy-themed kicks (no doubt courting comparisons like “sweet” and “confectious”) are going for the highest of the three at $300 - Leighton’s in the middle and Michelle’s on the right.

No doubt none of these girls would wear any of these designs (though we bet Georgina would sport Michelle’s metal star ones), but that’s really besides the point.

In other celebrity/designer news, everyone’s tickled that Ashley Olsen’s designing a menswear line for The Row, launching as soon as next Fall. We’re hoping - and willing to bet - that it’ll still be worn by more girls than guys. We definitely see little Grey Ant-style vests and loose trousers in their very near future…

Michelle Trachtenberg: Blogger

michelle trachtenberg on set.jpgMichelle Trachtenberg’s newest role as Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl has her working overtime.


America’s next favorite villainess is also now a blogger for Cosmo’s website.

Her first post is already up, and it’s pretty clear that the space will largely be devoted to rehashing what she wore on set, and, of course, to plugging her own jewelry line, Bella Veritas, which she’ll probably wear on every episode from now on.

We’re kind of hoping she’ll design a poison ring for certain scenes with Blair, but we’ll see.

The Return

Georgina Chapman.jpgLast week, we got about a million messages asking us to post about Gossip Girl which, as you all know, returns tonight.


We assume you’ve all read the interview in NYLON and know all about the coming yogurt fiasco on the steps of the Met.

But here’s a little more info courtesy Natalie’s HD Player: Tonight’s episode is called “The Blair Bitch Project.”

And here’s a little taste of what happens: “Blair hesitantly returns to school after being dethroned as Queen Bee; Serena struggles to adjust to living with her future stepbrother, Chuck, and receives disturbing packages from an unknown sender; Jenny’s drive to be popular hits a high.”

Who else thinks the packages come from Georgina? Discuss!

Ok! T-10 hours…

Another Star is Born

Just four days after the announcement of her induction into the Gossip Girl cast, and we’re already being bombarded with PR e-mail blasts like, “Michelle Trachtenberg selects Lela Rose for the 25th Annual Paley TV Festival for Buffy the Vampire Slayer!”

We’re already wondering which of the GG cast will end up the Katie Holmes of the bunch, the one that actually continues to be legitimately famous well after the show has ended.

We’d normally bet on Blake, just because she’s so cute, or maybe Leighton because it appears that she can really act, but now we’re thinking it could end up Michelle, who has by far the most experience of the cast - and she hasn’t even filmed her first scene yet.

Clearly, at least a mid-summer Teen Vogue cover is in order here.

Gossip Girl, the Countdown

michelle trachtenberg.jpgNow we really can’t wait for the return of Gossip Girl.


The Daily Intel reports that Michelle Trachtenberg, known as Harriet the Spy in our world, is set to play the role of Georgina Sparks (rumored to have been first offered to Mischa Barton), Serena van der Woodsen’s arch enemy, in the coming weeks.

Georgina is supposed to return to Constance Billard after a stint in rehab and shake up the life of GG’s Golden Girl, no doubt by catching the eye of Dan (Michelle is from Brooklyn, after all), and simultaneously playing around with Chuck for good measure.

Look out for fights on the steps of the Met, Serena in Topshop, Blair in Chanel, and Georgina in Heatherette.

But we’re sure when the Met Ball’s worked into the script, we’ll see Teen Vogueette Michelle in a form-fitting, strapless Ralph
