Leighton Meester: Darn That Mother Chucker!

Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick , who play on-and-off-again couple Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass, film new scenes for their hit CW show Gossip Girl in Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Friday.

New episodes of Gossip Girl airs on Mondays @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW. You can bet your bottom dollar that Ugly Betty star America Ferrera will not be tuning in!

This Monday is episode “The Dark Night”: Serena and Dan are forced to deal with their unspoken problems while trapped in an elevator during a citywide blackout. In a humorous twist, Blair questions the lack of passion in her relationship with Marcus (guest star Patrick Heusinger), while at the same time Chuck appears to have lost his “passion” for any woman other than Blair. Meanwhile, Nate struggles between his feelings for Vanessa and his more-complicated-by-the-day relationship with Catherine (guest star Madchen Amick). Jenny risks losing her internship when Eleanor catches Jenny critiquing one of the Eleanor Waldorf designs.
