Ostroff will be Condé’s first president of entertainment as it hopes to ween the Nast off the teet of advertisers and start rolling in that Hollywood dough. Though projects like The September Issue and America’s Next Top Model, featuring a be-caped André Leon Talley, already give CN a multi-media presence, the publisher’s not getting any money from it. Which is where Ostroff comes in.

“This is all content that Condé Nast should be able to build a library with in some way — even if it’s in partnership with other companies,” said Ostroff. “It could mean films, it could mean documentaries, it could mean television shows, it could mean digital series or digital content, it could be digital channels. And it could be across all platforms: Cable channels, cable broadcast networks. It ranges across the board.”

In that case, allow me to pitch my first — of many — Condé Nast-themed shows. Picture it, The Golden Gossip Girls, starring Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington as Blair Waldorf and Serena Vanderwoodsen, respectively (naturally)…50 years in the future. It’s got Emmy written all over it…or at least People’s Choice Award scribbled somewhere on its side. [NYT, WWD]

When asked by Jean Paul if there was anything that she didn’t want to be asked, Gags just looks at him and says, very matter-of-factly, “No.” So they talk about everything from her past drug use to her special relationship with the little monsters and of course, the fashionality. The seething fashionality that includes a fair share of spanking and a priest costume.

Yeah, this is definitely going into my post-Fashion Week TV queue. Check out the hilariously dramatic preview below.

Anna Wintour as always inspirational, this documentary really portrays the industry for what it is. Although, I was a bit shocked they didn’t mention Marc Jacobs.

Fashion Forward: Making it shows on December 8th at 8 PM on The CW, Alexander Wang is so beautiful… Watch video clips here…

Cannot stop laughing at how ridiculous this scene is. A true nightmare for heart donors everywhere. If only Gossip Girl had more moments like this they wouldn’t be getting their ass kicked by reruns of Jersey Shore.

Syracuse University Prof. Robert Thompson, a popculture expert, has decided that he is now the fortune-teller to Gossip Girl downfall.  He told the news:

“The silence is deafening, ”Gossip Girl’ was like Twitter – when people first discovered it, they couldn’t stop talking about it. But the enchantment has worn off.

The premise of the show was so interesting and exciting in the beginning, but this season’s story lines don’t seem to be clicking. It’s not like if you watch an episode this season, you can say that it’s fundamentally worse than it was last season – it just doesn’t seem to have the shelf life of other programming.”

AOL Television’s Maggie Furlong also had a bit to say regarding the fame of the characters, and her recent Gossip Girl article that only recieved one comment:

“They’re no longer that interesting, that would have never happened a year ago. Now everyone wants to argue about the Gosselins instead.”

What is the world coming to! I’m still in love with Gossip Girl, but maybe they should’ve thought a little harder about their image before they gave Hilary Duff a role, and Tyra Banks a guest spot…just sayin. Then there was of course that the ‘flashback’ episode with Brittany Snow that made everyone want to stop watching the show, and that girl from ‘Privelage’ trying to convince everyone she hadn’t already been on a CW show…

There are many things that bring me joy, but only only one thing that makes my Spider-sense tingle off the radar. Failed songstress/MTV Stars getting fired. Got the boot from Melrose Place. All is well in the world today.

I really hate that I get excited about this shit, but Gossip Girl Season 3 is coming soon. You know you love it. XOXO. Video after jump.

Miss. Lively at the CFDA/Vogue Fund Raiser last night.

Blake in last night's episode of Gossip Girl

Blake Lively is the most inconsistent dresser I have seen in a long time. She either looks like a knock out, or she looks not so hot. These two features above are two examples of the not so hot that she was spotted in last night. The outfit from Gossip Girl is unflattering and was much brighter yellow and red on TV. She looked like a slutty McDonald’s worker. I was willing to let that one slide, until I saw these pictures of her at the CFDA/Vogue fundraiser looking like a 45 year old cougar on the prowl. What is that ugly dress. The point of the long printed dress is to look conservative, not like the whore sister of the Quaker Oats guy. I want to know how she can go from looking so good to looking so bad so quickly and frequently. She isn’t even pushing the limits of fashion either. Hey Blake, might be time to start looking for a new stylist.

Thanks to the CW and Just Jared for the images.

After:

I guess if you are going to be cast in a show about Beverly Hills you have to actually look like you live there. There is no way that Shenae Grimes has made enough money from 90210 already to have hired a stylist, so she either has one on lease for now, or she made more money than we thought be a bitchy teen on Degrassi. Either way she looks good now and definitely got her act together.

p.s. Has anyone seen the new 90210 yet? Is it worth my time?
