Continuing to film scenes for their recently extended 25-episode season, the stars of “Gossip Girl” were hard at work in Brooklyn on Monday morning (November 3).

Chace Crawford, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen and Ed Westwick were all on-hand at the cemetery, walking back and forth from their trailers as they shot a funeral scene.

Meanwhile, a brand new episode of the hit CW drama airs tonight at 8/7C, eerily titled “There Might Be Blood”.

Of the episode, the CW Web site tells, “Serena (Blake Lively) invites Aaron (guest star John Patrick Amedori) to be her guest at a charity gala honoring Lily and Bart (Kelly Rutherford and guest star Robert John Burke), but after discovering a secret that Aaron has been keeping from her she begins to question whether Aaron is the guy she thought he was. Hoping it will help her chances of getting into Yale, Blair (Leighton Meester) naively agrees to babysit the 15-year-old daughter of a prominent Yale donor, but the teenager proves to be more than a handful and Blair begins to suspect that the evening may actually wind up hurting her chances of getting into the college of her dreams. Meanwhile, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) and Agnes (guest star Willa Holland) plan a guerilla fashion show that will either launch Jenny’s star or ruin her chances of ever being accepted by the industry.”

Spotted out hailing a cab in Soho yesterday, cutie Chace Crawford is spilling secrets from the Gossip Girl set - including what the future is for his character, Nate, and what he thinks of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Recently, Crawford told The Insider that he expects Nate to have more than his fair share of steamy scenes for the upcoming season.

Explaining, he said, “He’s a bit of a whore this year.” The 23 year-old hunk added that Nate’s recent hookup with an older woman wasn’t exactly okay with all the viewers. “There wasn’t positive feed back from my parents!” he admitted.

The young actor also wants everyone to get out and vote on election day. Although he wouldn’t reveal who he’s voting for, he did say Sarah Palin is “hot for a politician!”

Male fans of Gossip Girl be warned: Chace Crawford is onto you.

“I’ll be out on the golf course, and some guy will come up to me, sort of sheepishly and be like, ‘Hey, my wife really loves the show,’” says Crawford, who graces the cover of VMAN magazine’s first winter issue. “And I’m like, ‘C’mon man, you love the show.’”

Whether from male or female fans, Crawford, 23, says he’s enjoying the attention. The only drawback to fame? Attention on his own personal life.

“There’s a lot of speculation with no reality to it, complete fabrications about my private life. It’s just comical,” he says. “I let it roll off my back.”

Longtime friends Julia Roberts and Dave Matthews joined forces Wednesday night at the sold-out Stand Up For a Cure concert at Madison Square Garden to benefit lung cancer research.

The singer - who said he was just 10 years old when his father died of lung cancer - movingly told the audience, “One day, we hopefully won’t need to have events like this.”

Roberts started the night off by introducing her good pal and his band to the raucous New York fans: “I cannot tell you how excited I am to be in the greatest city in the world to introduce one of the greatest bands of the world!”

A whole host of celebs came out to support the charity event, including Mary-Kate Olsen, Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford and Lindsay Lohan (who got to the Garden at 6 p.m. to watch girlfriend Samantha Ronson DJ for the pre-party).

Chace Crawford may be known as Gossip Girl’s heartthrob Nate Archibald, but if that acting thing doesn’t work out, the 23-year-old actor could always try relationship counseling.

In the September issue of the U.K. edition of Glamour magazine, Crawford offers dating tips and love advice in a one-time-only “Dear Chace” column. Here’s a peek at the bachelor’s top tips for the ladies:

On what ‘not to do’ on a first date: “An obnoxious laugh, swearing like a sailor, bad breath, breaking wind, getting blackout drunk, talking about your exes. It’s a long list!”

On being a bit heavy and feeling self-conscious: “Some guys really dig love handles! Your issues seem to be more about you than your boyfriend. It sounds like you should hit the gym, not for your body or your boyfriend, but for your mind.”

On knowing you’ve found your soulmate: “I believe we all have a handful of soulmates. The most important thing to me is someone who makes me laugh. I know that’s cheesy, but really it’s not as complicated as you think.”

Crawford and his Gossip Girl castmates return to television Monday, September 1.

Fergie turns out to be as big a Miley Cyrus fan as anybody - as the Black Eyed Peas singer demonstrated at Sunday’s 10th annual Teen Choice Awards.

During the Hannah Montana star’s opening number - Cyrus hosted the show, at Universal City’s Gibson Amphitheatre - she performed her single “7 Things,” running in every direction but stopping to deliver a rose to audience member Fergie.

And Fergie’s reaction? Just like any other Hannah Montana fan’s. She started jumping up and down.

Top winner in the TV division was Gossip Girl, whose six awards included those for choice drama and breakout show - while its star, Chace Crawford was named choice breakout actor; Blake Lively, breakout female and TV drama actress; and Ed Westwick, who plays the antagonistic Chuck Bass, choice TV villain.

“I feel like I’m still a teenager, because I’m perpetually in high school,” Crawford told reporters backstage. “And I’m 23.”

Jonases Score Six

The Jonas Brothers also won six awards: choice single, breakout group, love song, song of the summer, male red-carpet fashion icons and male hottie awards.

Introduced by The Office’s Rainn Wilson, Kevin, Joe and Nick made continuous appearances during the ceremony, thanks to a segment called “Ask the Jonas Brothers,” in which they answered questions sent in from fans on YouTube.

In the first, they are asked to describe the perfect date. Joe says it’s riding in white horse on the beach to pick up his date, then going to Paris, “maybe” Barcelona, “maybe” see a movie.

As for other winners, three surfboards went to Will Smith (one for Hancock and two for I Am Legend); Chris Brown accepted five music awards, including best male artist; Hayden Panettiere was best TV action-adventure actress; and David Beckham won best male athlete.

Bring his three sons on to the stage with him, Becks thanked America for accepting him. After his father’s speech, young Cruz Beckham suddenly broke into a break dance on stage as the crowd cheered him on.

The awards, which were selected by more 30 million votes cast online by teenagers, honor celebrities in TV, film, music, sports and fashion. The ceremony will air on FOX Monday night at 8 ET.

Place café at The Grove in Los Angeles. “So many kids were

coming up to the table to meet her,” an onlooker tells us. But Posh didn’t

mind the attention, the onlooker says. After lunch, the fashionista and her

entourage (including two bodyguards) to the Quicksilver Youth shop where

they browsed the swimwear before hopping into a waiting car.

• Old friends Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, chatting with the owner of Hollywood’s Green Door in the lounge’s library

balcony at the House of Blues in West Hollywood during Rooney’s

concert. (Rooney opened for the Jonas Brothers on their last tour!) The guys

- Joe, Nick and Kevin - were surrounded by a posse of guys their

age who sang and fist-pumped along with every song. While audience

members rocked out to Rooney, too, apparently it was the Jonas Brothers who turned

heads. After the band’s encore of “I’m Shakin,’” loads of teenage girls ran

for the balcony stairs to try and meet the guys.

• Marcia Cross, picking up fresh produce and flowers at the

Brentwood Farmers Market. The Desperate Housewives star sported

Bird Nest, an energy drink company in L.A. - Crawford politely greeted

the female admirers who immediately flocked to him. The actor was the hit of

the party, but reserved his attention for one girl in particular who sported

a tuxedo-style white and black dress. The two shared a drink, private

conversation and even their phone numbers, an onlooker reports. At one

point, she even stole the baseball cap off his head and wore it -though Crawford didn’t seem to mind.

• Meanwhile, Podwall’s bash was a who’s who of young Hollywood: Adam Brody sipped an energy drank and chatted with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. And Brody Jenner didn’t stray too far from pal
