interesting…
OM-EFFING-G, just when i thought i couldn’t love gossip girl more, they bring on ZOE FROM FIREFLY!!!!!!
Love Gina, Hate Vanessa. Can’t believe they’re wasting someone of her caliber on the most hated character ever. They’re going WAY OVERBOARD trying to make Vanessa likable. It’s NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.
^ Why is Jessica the most hated character?
That sounds cool. More Jessica featured.
Wow, that Jessica girl is so ugly!
Jessica… Now there’s a Trannie…
Buy Britney Spears Blackout on September 25th
Omg Does they really think we need Vanessa’s mother?? Oh please. We don’t need even this boring and not pretty Vanessa. Blair&Chuck, Serena are stunning. Lily and Dan’s dad it’s Ok. But Vanessa’s family? Please, NO.
She’s gorgeous, she has gravitas and she has this presence. I loved her as the benevolent goddess Jade when she was on Angel.
I don’t watch the show. Is this Jessica character black or half black on the show?
@reba #11
half black I guess. Everyone in this show has white and black side in their natural.)
Vanessa Abrams is the best gossip girl character. I love her. So happy for more Vanessa in season 3. HATERS keep hating we do not care.
<3 Jessica Szohr,she is gorgeous.
i think jessica is beautiful
It works, they look alike.
But yah, absolutely everyone hates Vanessa’s character. She needs to be written off the show forever.
god i hate that woman! i hated every episode she did on angel. ugh!
@mailey: they look alike?!? you blind bish. you should be beaten and whipped for that.
Vanessa does not have 3 haters. She has 3 fans. Sadly but true. And I think this show is trying too much to make her likable. People hate her. My sister changes the channel when she’s on. Stop waisting screen time with her. And by the way, that woman is prettier than Vanessa. She looks cleaner too.
@S:
AMEN, s. you hit the fugly, self-righteous, hypocritical brooklyn nail on its frizzed out head, everything you said was so true.
Gina is a good actress. Too bad I could care less about the character she is coming on to help boost.
THAT’S GREAT! I LIKE JESSICA SZOHR AND HER CHARACTER. AND I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT GINA TORRES WAS BEAUTIFUL, WITH HER GORGEOUS LIPS AND GREAT FIGURE. I THINK THEY MAKE A GREAT MOTHER-DAUGHTER PAIR.
NOW…. WHO’S THE DAD?
awesome!! Her storyline sounds really interesting .. can’t wait for season 3!
Speak for your self!HATERS… Vanessa Abrams has fans.. Gossip girl is not chair. Get over your self. The girl is stunning! V is the only real character in the show.If you do not like her than why you even comment??? :@
You are funny.. Lol…
I am happy.one off my top GG character is getting finaly her only storyline .
my god ! i don’t hate Vanessa but do we really need to have her mother ??? REALLY ??
I’m excited about Serena’s dad but Vanessa’s mom… Come on…. who cares?
Hmm look like Jess kind of fried her hair a bit with a relaxer. Should have used a weaker one….sad. She’s exotic. I think she’s gorgeous but I guess that’ s just my personal opinion.
