What do you know, our little network is moving up in the world. Last season when "Gossip Girl" reached out for a band to play the debutante ball where Serena battled her grandmother, we got some duo called The Pierces. This year, viewers of the CW show we can't stop watching will be treated to a performance by No Doubt, apparently (spoiler alert!) standing in for Lily's favorite bands from the '80s.

According to whispers on the Internet, the penultimate episode of this season will launch the new "Gossip Girl" spinoff, "Lily," in the "backdoor" way "Private Practice" was delivered to "Grey's Anatomy" viewers. (That's just what they call it!) In it, young Lily, rumored to be played by "Hairspray"'s Brittany Snow, will see No Doubt as a band covering '80s faves Adam and the Ants.

We're so deprived of new "Gossip Girl" episodes that even this retro-fantasia wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a riddle sounds good right now. But our favorite Upper East Siders will return March 16 for the final eight episodes of Season 2. No Doubt will be going back on tour this summer with Paramore.

Eggstrordinary: How did Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry end up choosing the same, non-topical costume this Halloween? Stefani donned hers for a Halloween party in West Hollywood with husband Gavin Rossdale as a slice of bacon, while Perry paired hers with a halo (?) to go onstage at a show in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Even though they ended up with the same idea, we have to give the ladies credit for not picking a tired cliche. Here are five people you should NOT go as for Halloween:

Baldy Britney Spears: Sure, it was scary, but MTV is over it, and you should be too.

Michael Phelps: Hypothermia: Not funny.

The Joker: Displays an admirable commitment to face makeup, but if we have to hear people trying to do the raspy voice all night we're going to reverse course and go as the scary puppet from SAW.

Amy Winehouse: Neither scary, nor funny, just sad. (Sorry, Cindy Crawford.)

Sarah Palin: Much, much too scary.

Traveling with kids is no picnic, but the trade-off of having Junior there to share in life's big moments can be priceless. Just check out Gwen Stefani stomping down the runway at New York Fashion Week with son Kingston, complete with both pacifier (for meltdowns) and ear protection (for the bass). He's even wearing Mom's newest L.A.M.B. collection. Maybe he won't remember his first trip to fashion week, but we bet Gwen will.

Whether you're taking Mini-Me to a wedding or just on a weekend trip, make sure you're prepared for anything. If you're driving, pack up the car with games inspired by Mom's Minivan. If you're flying, review the TSA guidelines for kids and check out Denver International Airport's tips for keeping your rugrat happy and entertained.
