Good morning, Baltimore! Here's something you'll want to update your status about, post on people's walls and create albums for -- the Facebook movie's coming to town! And whoever manages to appear in it will win a special prize from Mark Zuckerberg of potentially knowing that you exist.

"The Social Network" is already the most anticipated movie of 2010 for film geeks as well as people who spend too much time on their computers, thanks to the participation of "The West Wing"'s Aaron Sorkin, who signed on to write the script, and "Zodiac" and "Fight Club" director David Fincher. (I am Jack's nerdy roommate having a walk-and-talk with investors?)

Zuckerberg famously dropped out of Harvard to bring his baby to life, but shooting in Cambridge can get expensive -- that's if you even get the thumbs-up from the top brass, so it's off to Baltimore and the Johns Hopkins University. Students on campus found out this week that the crew will arrive on Sunday and be shooting Monday and Tuesday. ]]> egw 2009-10-29T13:20:03-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/8/3/215437/8977

While the real kids of the NYC prep school scene are still enjoying their last few weeks of vacation in the Hamptons or Saint-Tropez, the cast of Gossip Girl is back filming on the Upper East Side and this season they will be joined by Hilary Duff.

The Duffster was on set yesterday, preparing for her role which according to Celebrity-Gossip.net is that of a movie star who enrolls in classes at NYU in hopes of getting a typical college experience. Hmm...can you say Olsen twins. Duff's character will also take an interest in Dan Humphrey.

Meanwhile, the real new class of NYU students will arrive in just a few weeks and the Student Resource Center is dedicated to helping them adjust to being on their own in the big city. However, if you're visiting an NYU student this fall you might want to see what kind of tourist hook-ups they can get you.]]> juliana 2009-08-04T09:26:05-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/7/21/0294/65191

Much like it's good to work for Oprah, it's also good to be friends with Chace Crawford otherwise known as Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl. The pretty boy actor has yet to see his fame levels rise to that of Twilight star Robert Pattinson, but life is still very good for the upcoming Footloose star.

So good that he chartered three V1 jets for his nearest and dearest 15 friends from his hometown of Dallas to celebrate his 24th birthday in The Hamptons his past weekend. Us Weekly has the scoop: ]]> juliana 2009-07-21T08:34:21-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/6/29/11146/1392

In honor of Chuck Bass' birthday on Friday, we stayed up for 36 hours and then took two flight attendants home. Just kidding! But On Location Tours' Chuck Bass Birthday Bash took advantage of an unlikely patch of sunlight Friday to raise Magnolia Bakery cupcakes to their hero and hold an impromptu Michael Jackson dance party on the steps of the Met.

Blair didn't send over a bottle of bubbly, but a Serena lookalike won the costume contest, which must have been very disappointing to the sole scarf-wearing swain on the tour. (Call us, mystery man!)

The real Chuck Bass (er, Ed Westwick) might be hanging around Gramercy today if reports of filming in the posh neighborhood are true. But Westwick himself has been in town for a while—he just celebrated his 22nd birthday "privately" with onscreen costar/offscreen girlfriend Jessica Szohr at Lucky Strike Lanes in New York (624-660 W. 42nd). And that's how we know he's not his character; Chuck Bass would never stoop to bowling despite the potential awesomeness of the shoes.

Even though we still have more than two months before the gang on Gossip Girl starts "college," the show begins filming the new season today amidst rumors that a new cast member will show up. Apparently, Joanna Garcia, star of the now defunct Privileged, has booked a four-episode arc as Nate’s love interest. We can’t wait to see what Vanessa has to say about the new girl who is “a slightly evil Miss America-type from a conservative Southern family.”

We also hear filming permit signs are posted all around Gramercy Park, including a few in front of the Gramercy Park Hotel for today's shoot. GPH, being one of the hot luxe hotel of the city, has a price to match their poshness, but the Gramercy does offer a few special package deals to help out those of us who didn't grow up on the Upper East Side. ]]> cmb 2009-06-29T10:00:58-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/6/10/125643/198

We'd always assumed Chuck Bass was ageless, or at least had enough Dorian Grayness to him to never mention his birthday. On Location Tours then must have stolen his little black book in order to put on this very special edition of their Gossip Girl Bus Tour for everyone's favorite bad boy.

The Friday, June 26 bus tour will include special Chuck Bass trivia (not just the usual show questions) and a gift basket to the person with the best Gossip Girl costume. If you need inspiration, we suggest the headband section at Henri Bendel, one of the stops on the tour.

Since we love Chuck, we can imagine the raucous after-party he would plan for the tour's end at 3:30 on a Friday if he were, y'know, real&$151;Lost Weekend anyone?

We actually took the original-flavor Gossip Girl bus tour a few weeks ago and came away with a largely positive impression. The bus covers a surprising amount of ground from the Upper East Side to SoHo (with views of the Humphreys' borough of Brooklyn), and we learned a few things we didn't even know from the narration.

The bus comes pre-loaded with a ton of clips from the show so you know whose townhouse you're looking at (Nate's parents' in particular is sweet). Our guide mixed up a few characters' names, and there wasn't enough time to do Bendel properly, but the thing shows promise. And for what it's worth, almost everyone on that trip preferred Chuck over Nate or Dan Humphrey. Clearly having your reputation precede you isn't such a bad thing after all.

We had our preppy picks ready to go. We had our punk picks ready to go. We were anticipating the return of Andrew McCarthy to the 80s. But sadly, Gossip Girl spin-off--which was to follow Lily van Der Woodsen around Los Angeles during her rebellious youth--is not happening.

Deadline Hollywood reports:

As I reported at 2:45 PM today, put a fork in it. It's done. Next Monday's episode of Gossip Girl is a flashback that was supposed to be a tempting taste for next fall's spinoff following the wild teen years of now mom Lily van der Woodsen (played by Brittany Snow) in Los Angeles in the 1980s. But even though I heard Peter Roth loved its yesteryear vibe, the show went from hot, to lukewarm, to "fading but wouldn't count out", to now dead, according to my insiders. I'm really surprised.

We are too! How will America's youth ever know what it was like to live in the 80s in a time before cellphones and MacBooks? We guess they could just watch VH1's "I Love the 80s" Parts 1-10 online somewhere.]]> juliana 2009-05-08T13:56:35-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
