But I couldn’t help but get blown away by the ending of the last episode. It was like a Lost cliffhanger. They may have well thrown up the trademark Lost “boom” screen that they love to end episodes with. It was that good.

Gossip Girl is kicking butt these days, and is doing so well that The CW has decided to make up for lost strike episodes THIS season by ordering a bloated 24 for the NEXT.

This report comes from Kristin at E! Online, who also tells us that the beginning of season 2 is going to be filmed in The Hamptons.

On a side note, Leighton Meester (left in photo), who plays Blair on GG, is filming scenes right now for Entourage, in which she’s reprising her role as Justine from season 1.
