Michael Ausiello of EW has some interesting Gossip Girl spoilers for us this morning - though Chair fans may not like this first item. Let's get right to it...

Q: Please, I need some Gossip Girl scoop on Blair and Chuck!

A: Okay, but I have to warn you, it's going to make you very angry. Leighton Meester's real-life beau, Sebastian Stan, will be reprising his role as the shifty Carter Baizen.

He'll be appearing in the next two original episodes and, per my source, his mission is twofold: to mess with Chuck and hook up with Blair. Don't shoot the messenger!

What does Carter Baizen (seen here with Serena during his last stint on Gossip Girl) have up his sleeve this time around? And will Miss Blair Waldorf be receptive to him?

Q: I am leaving for France tomorrow for nine days. Could you please give me some Gossip Girl to hold me over?

A: You know Serena's new grifter beau, Gabriel (Armie Hammer)? She's met him before - only she can't remember where or when.

Q: Were you suggesting that Kristen Bell was in the running to play a young Lily in the Gossip Girl spin-off?

A: No, I was not. I'm actually going to keep quiet about which actress I was referring to until there's something solid to report. Don't want to jinx things. Having said that, I'd like to take this opportunity to nominate American Dreams ingénue Brittany Snow for the role.

Not only does she have "young Kelly Rutherford" plastered across her forehead, but as she proved on her much-missed NBC drama, she has a timeless quality.

If she can pull off the '60s, the '80s oughta be breeze for Snow. Plus, anything that keeps her away from Prom Night 2 has to be a good thing, right?
