Gossip Girl is back on set! Yay! After a fun filled hiatus from the show, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, and Blake Lively returned to film the third season of their hit show. And let me tell you, the four of them did indeed have busy vacations from the show.

First, Chace was name People Magazine’s hottest bachelor, beating out likely winner Robert Pattinson. Well go Chace. Personally, I do think you’re super sexy. Give me a call sometime.

And of course Leighton and her sex tape. It’s never fun to have one of those being shopped around, is it Leighton? However, it definitely seems like something that Blair would do. Could it be the literary gods getting revenge for something?

Ed had a busy summer. First he won the Breakthrough Male Award at the Young Hollywood Award. Oh and he was in GQ. He’s so pretty. Doesn’t his sexy British accent just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

But really, Blake Lively? All she did this summer was go to event after event. For example, she hosted the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED Concept
Store opening in New York. No sex tape, no award, no sexy title. Come on Blake! You gotta give me something exciting!

Well, here’s to hoping that season three will be super exciting. These pictures already look amazing (red suspenders? check!), so it can only be good from here, right?
