Spotted: E. in a strange outfit looking rather... dramatic.

Filming for the second season of "Gossip Girl" has already started around New York, but at least one cast member is still living his alternate, non-Upper East Sider life. Through August 24, Connor Paolo, who plays Serena's brother Eric, is appearing in the Strain Theatre's production of "7 Stories," the tale of a man captivated by the inhabitants of a building he has chosen from which to commit suicide.

We caught the show this weekend, and we'll give Paolo this: The dual roles he takes in the play--as a British husband-to-be with a surprising secret and an energetic trend-watcher--are nothing like his turn as the recently out and step-brothered Van der Woodsen. After the show, he wasn't whisked away in a limo, but instead hoofed it down Bond Street with some friends. When was the last time a Waldorf walked anywhere?

The second season of "Gossip Girl" premieres September 1. You could go somewhere besides Jaunted for "GG" news and recaps, but why would you? You know you love us...

Spotted: E and L Out on the Town

You can tell that Connor "Eric Van Der Woodsen" Paolo and Kelly "Lily Bass" Rutherford aren't mother and son in real life, because he just doesn't look sheepish enough about accompanying her to the Step UP Women's Network Inspiration Awards in Beverly Hills this weekend. (Unexpected bonus: No awkward family dinners where your sister's friend tells Mom you're gay!)

Rutherford was being honored for her work with the charity, which funds women's health programs and professional development for underprivileged girls. So how is Eric spending his summer vacation? Well, given that he attends the Professional Performing Arts high school in Manhattan along with "GG" costar Taylor Momsen, maybe he deserves a break from studying and working. (The school counts Claire Danes and Alicia Keys among its alums.)
