Nothing too interesting or that we haven't already heard or figured out weeks ago, but here are excerpts and Gossip Girl notes from E! Online's spoiler Q&A today ...

• Michelle Trachtenberg will not be a series regular, though we'll be seeing her in the beginning of the season, and likely on a recurring basis thereafter.
• There's not a whole lot of major action on the Rufus-Lily front.
• Despite Taylor Momsen's rock career, Jenny will be back.
• A show says "Of course" there's hope for Chair this year.
• Reports of recent animosity were either wrong or it's all water under the bridge, because Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick have reunited into coupledom! 

That last note is arguably the most interesting and has nothing to do with the show itself! Discuss it and all things Gossip Girl by leaving comments below ...
