Everyone stop what you are doing and listen up! For all of my fellow Gossip Girl fans, I have some news! There is going to be a spin-off that features the crazy adolescent teen years of Lily Van Der Woodsen (Serena's mom) in Los Angeles in the 1980s. I know, this sounds cool. I don't think this is much of a surprise since Gossip Girl has recently focused on the whole hidden pregnancy thing. Krysten Ritter will co-star in the spin-off, marking the first casting on the project.

The show is sort of a prequel to Gossip Girl, which is a different spin that I say should attract most GG fans. The new show is written by Gossip creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and focuses on Lily moving in with her sister, Carol (Ritter), the outsider of the family after a falling-out with her parents. Overnight, Lily has to transition from a life of luxury and education at a wealthy Montecito boarding school to living in the San Fernando Valley she once made fun of and going to public school. The pilot for the spin-off will air as a Gossip Girl episode May 11. Ritter is well known from her roles on Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars.
