With friends like Johnny Drama, Olive Snook, Gabrielle Solis and Gregory House, who needs a life?

Gossip Girl
When: Returns on September 1; airs Monday nights at 8/7c on CW.
Main Players: Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Taylor Momsen, Chace Crawford
What’s it all about?: A pack of highbrow Upper East Side teenagers find that their sexual and personal exploits are covered point by point by a secretive blogger.
Where’d we leave off?: Just like real life in high school, we had to sit through a lot of ‘are they together?’ or ‘aren’t they?’ in the series’ first season. Unsurprisingly, the tense, steamy drama, struck a chord with TV watchers, young and old, and if the posters plastered on buses and billboards tell us anything, it’s that we can expect a surge in hook-ups, backstabbing, and, well, gossiping.
