Final season of ‘Gossip Girl’ premieres Arielle Edwards Printz Writer It is finally autumn, and with the cold weather come the rumors of the CW’s “Gossip Girl.� The sixth and final season premiered Monday and left no questions answered and a lot of eyes rolling. Although this first episode drained some excitement for its viewers, it will still be one of the top rated shows of the fall, getting more dramatic and racy with every episode. The fifth season left viewers on edge as Daniel Humphrey paired up with Georgina to write a book to tell the dirty secrets of the infamous UpperEast Siders. The question is, will he go through with it? As these questions drop, so do jaws as the first scene opens with Blair and Chuck being intimate. We think they will finally be to-
gether despite all the obstacles only to have the world come crashing down as they make a pact to be together forever‌ just not yet. Remember Serena? Her mother doesn’t either. Lily does not even notice that her daughter has been gone all summer after she returns home from a vacation to find Serena’s things unpacked. The majority of the episode is spent trying to locate Serena with Georgina trying to sabotage her in hopes of an epic ending for Dan’s new book. Serena is found only after Nate trades in a big secret to
Gossip Girl to find her. With last season ending in a nasty fight between Blair and Serena, viewers wondered if the
best friends would reunite. Blair thinks they will be as she rushes to save her friend from trouble.
Once they are reconnected, Blair makes an uncharacteristic apology that Serena halfheartedly accepts. Blair questions her pact with Chuck after Dan says, “You think you two have an epic love, but all you have are excuses.� She later confronts Chuck while riding home after a night of Serena-hunting. The most heartmelting moment stars Chuck as he tells Blair that he would give up everything Courtsey Photo for her. He then pulls out a necklace and a ring that he was to propose with in a previous season. This fore-
shadows what we all hope to be a promise of a bright and rather large future between two individuals who never had a chance to be together. The drama and the intensity comes at twhe end of the episode as Dan enters his Brooklyn home to find his father entwined with Ivy (Charlie Rhodes). Ivy has been scheming with the real Charlie, but about what exactly, and why involve poor Rufus? With only nine episodes remaining, “Gossip Girl� promises its usual intensity and promiscuity that comes along with the Upper-East Siders. What will happen with our modern day Romeo and Juliet: Chuck and Blair? Will Serena tell her new lover the truth about her past? Will Rufus find out that Ivy is tricking him? As Gossip Girl says, that’s one secret I’ll never tell.

The personalities include country singer Keith Urban, rapper Nicki Minaj and pop diva Mariah Carey, and they have already spiced up the family-friendly show. According to EW.com, sev-
eral artists such as Katy Perry, Adam Lambert and Miley Cyrus were rumored to be on the list of choices. After several weeks of deliberation, FOX chose these three newbies to enter the show to make a big band, and boy, have they started off right. Fights have broken out between Minaj and Carey, allegedly leaving Carey feeling as though she needed to bump up her security due to claims that Minaj threatened to “shoot� her with a gun. FOX News Latino reported ru-
mors that Minaj threatened Carey on the “Idol� set. “Nicki walked off the set and multiple people heard Nicki say, ‘If I had a gun I would shoot the bitch,’ adding that Carey told her over the phone that ‘she can’t take a chance’ and has ‘hired extra security,’� Walters said. Reports say that Minaj has not apologized for lashing out at Carey, and after a meeting she said, “I love you, but we might fight again.� Carey responded, “No, we will not.�
