it seems i'm not the only one who thinks that Paula Abdul is looking a little, well, GOOD this season. Cityrag thinks so too and did a side-by-side comparison...what do you think? eye lift? nose job?

According to Variety, there IS going to be a Gossip Girl spin-off, but it's not going to be about Little J. it's actually going to be about Lily Van Der Woodsen:

Spinoff centers on the character as a wild teenager in 1980s Los Angeles, when she was known by her maiden name, Lily Rhodes.

Spinoff will be produced as a backdoor pilot, as expected, and air May 11 as an episode of "Gossip Girl."

In the new project, which is based on an original idea by Schwartz and Savage, Lily moves in with her sister, the black sheep of the family, after a falling out with her parents. In the process, she must adjust to living in the San Fernando Valley (during the height of the Valley Girl craze) and going to public school, having previously attended a wealthy Montecito boarding school.

 

Meet my new celebrity girl-crush, Odette Yustman! I mean, i've adored her since her October Road days, back when i was watching a show that no one else on the planet is watching. and then when i watched her in Cloverfield, a movie no one else on the planet watched. and now you can see her in The Unborn...and movie whose radio ads scare the pants off of me...

Sources say he "spent most of the evening hitting on Scarlett Johansson, who certainly didn't seem to mind."

here they are, in 2004:
