America's Youth Loses Valuable History Lesson as 'Gossip Girl' Spin-Off Gets Nixed
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.
Still, just because Gossip Girl won't be heading to Los Angeles, doesn't mean you can't.
JetBlue begins service to Los Angeles on June 17 and to celebrate the new airline in town, Los Angeles is offering travelers 40 percent off your stay including discounted hotel rates and special admission prices to museums and attractions. However, you must book by May 10 but the travel is good through August 31, 2009.
