The Next Gossip Girl?


With the success of Gossip Girl, in both books and TV, people are trying to capture lighting in a bottle again. The CW has announced a new show for fall called Surviving The Filthy Rich based on Zoey Dean's How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls about a "smart" woman that is hired to instruct two (you've guessed it) filthy rich seventeen year old twins.

And of course those that knew Blair, Serena, et al. before the rest of the world, know how that story ended and how Gossip Girl promised to stick around for the next generation of books.

Enter the Carlyle triplets, fresh from Nantucket into my most beloved character's old apartment and poised to become the standard for Upper East Side bitchiness, scandal and, of course, gossip.

Will they succeed?

PS. I cannot believe it has already been a year since I first posted about the Coco Chanel biopic. And now the poster is here and I must admit, Audrey's look is a little more masculine than I would have guessed but I'm still looking forward for what will surely be one the fashion movies of the decade.

Hmm I'm not sure about the new GG books, after all the It Girl wasn't so good.
But I will read the first one and see

I don't tend to read that genre book, but it is my guilty pleasure television, so I look forward to peeking at this new show. I'm curious about this Chanel film, afterall Coco led a controversial life in many ways...

I'll wait until I download the first ep but I'm not sure!

Enough already with SATC, give me that Nazi sympathizer Madame Chanel!

Ahm... I don't think this craze of copying stuff to make money will work for much longer. People want new things, not sequels.
Loving the film poster, looks promising. And I agree with you, a bit too masculine.

I am not sure if I love the poster or not. However, I can't wait for the movie!

I agree with you about Audrey's masculine look, I don't think Coco was that masculine even when she wore man outfits but the choice of Audrey to play the part seems a good idea.
