It’s a fact—not every high school show makes it when they jump on to the college years. It’s a good reason that One Tree Hill skipped over them all together. So, just when we thought that maybe, just maybe, Gossip Girl was starting to lose its edge now that most of the drama is happening in the grungy East Village as opposed to the posh Upper East Side—last night’s episode proved that it’s still got it some sass. Here’s why:

Rob Lowe look-a-like Ian Somerhalder is the newest bad boy to hit the CW--that is if you make an exception for the fact that he doesn’t play a human on TV.

Watch the video to for Ian’s confession

Read about your other fanged hottie Robert Pattinson’s new Tweet!


On Friday, the 30-year-old former model and new star of the CW's The Vampire Diaries, appeared on the Tyra Banks Show, where he revealed, among other things,  his most embarrassing moment.

See how the cast gets vampire-ready

“I was 16, doing a press conference thing in Italy, and it was October and really chilly outside,” Somerhalder said. “I was wearing this white suit with black underwear. The stylist asked me to take them off so I did . There was a clothing rack nearby so I stood behind that. The stylist took the pants to be steamed and, cue the clothing rack, it rolled away and there I was naked!”

Read about the cast’s recent flashing fiasco

Its hard to ignore Somerhalder’s smoldering good looks but sorry girls, he’s taken! The actor admitted he has a girlfriend who he sees when he can (he lives in Atlanta, she lives in New York City). “

I see her in little spurts,” he told Tyra. “In the last five days Ive been to New York three times.”

Can't get enough Kate Gosselin? Well lucky for you the rumors are true -- she is getting her own show and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details.

Click here to watch Kate and Dr Phil on The View

But first, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Kate will be making an extra unscheduled guest hosting appearance on The View this week, taping another show to air Friday, with Kathy Griffin as a guest. And what makes this so special, Gosselin fans, is that Griffin opened the Creative Arts Emmys in Ed Hardy-wear saying, "I just banged Jon Gosselin."

Meanwhile, Kate's guest stint on The View this week was just a warm up for a full-time gig. And while Jon & Kate Plus 8 is still going strong on TLC, Kate is trading in Jon for a much more genteel partner, Southern cooking belle Paula Deen.

Industry insiders tell RadarOnline.com that their new show has a working title of Mom Logic and is based on the popular Web site of the same name. Telepictures is behind the site and the new show.

E! Online's Mark Malkin broke the news of Kate's new show this week and now RadarOnline.com has learned that the proposed pilot will contain a mix of advice, health and beauty tips and celebrity gossip geared toward moms and
moms-to-be. Expect multiple hosts to accompany Kate and Paula.

And guest hosting on The View has been good practice for Kate because the new show will be View-like in its approach and sources tell RadarOnline.com that a pilot will begin shooting later this month.

Deen has been shopping shows around for the past 5 years, "with no takers," says a source at a competing production company. Meanwhile, Gosselin has been busy taking meetings all over town (which town? c'mon people, LA, of course!) trying to pitch a talk show of her own. Industry sources say she’s cancelled upcoming meetings, another signal that the deal for her new show is in the final stages of completion.
