At the recent CW upfronts presentation, the Gossip Girl cast dished on their characters and some of the drama we can expect in the upcoming third season.

Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr, Taylor Momsen, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley all chatted about Gossip Girl, as well as their real lives.

A couple of fun facts:

• Leighton Meester is funny, chatty and all-around awesome.
• Blake Lively is in the process of getting her scuba license.
• Penn Badgley has no plans to marry his girl anytime soon.
• Chace Crawford's bangs are just as amazing in real life.
