Looks like the CW has officially picked up Gossip Girl for the 2007-2008 season. The article is filled with praise:
With its teen-angst theme, easy promotability and strong pedigree,
“Gossip Girl” had emerged early on as the most promising pilot at the
CW this year. Based on the popular “Gossip Girl” series of books, it
was penned by “The O.C.” creator Josh Schwartz and the show’s Stephanie
Savage.
From all of the positive comments I got on this blog from teen girls who love the series, it looks like it should be VERY successful.

I think that people who haven’t read the series but let their SEVEN YEAR OLDS read it ought to realize the true content of these books. I wonder if the show will be as wild as the books or if they will tone things down and realize, hey, it is NOT exactly healthy to have young girls chase after a guy who is on drugs 99% of the time. Seriously.
