If you weren't already aware, Gossip Girl has returned to the CW with new episodes. I am personally rife with anticipation. Where'd Chuck go? What happened to Lily's baby? And will Jenny stop being such a little scene kid?

Now you may ask why I am asking such questions -- questions that suggest that I actually watch this show. Well, I do. I shouldn't have to explain myself (this is the 21st century), but I will anyways. So, without further ado, here are Nick's "Reasons Why It's OK for a Guy to Watch Gossip Girl."

1. It's Addicting - After watching two episodes at the behest of a friend, I was hooked. You have to watch every week to see the latest "oh snap!" moment, from incestuous English nobility to unexpected paternity.

2. The music is amazing - Any show featuring songs by The Cold War Kids, OK Go and MGMT deserves to be given a chance.

3. It's produced by Josh Schwartz - You don't know who this is, and that's OK. You should, however, be aware that this is the guy responsible for both The OC and Chuck.

4, 5, and 6.

7. Chuck Bass - Come on, who doesn't want to be this guy?

8. Finally, it's a great way to meet girls - Who needs pick up lines when you can just ask, "Can you imagine what Chuck did to Blair this week?" Just ask this guy:

So, remember to watch Gossip Girl, Mondays at 8 p.m. on the CW.
