Back on the Entertainment Weekly red carpet, Jason C. gets the inside scoop from Gossip Girl's Connor Paolo and Penn Badgley.
The Entertainment Weekly party was PACKED and the stars were being ushered through at lightening speeds. Jason C. was still able to catch Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen to ask them a few questions. Watch it all here:
We've got some great pictures of the Gossip Girl cast from the CW Upfronts AND the Entertainment Weekly party held later that night. Check them out HERE!
Jason C. chats with Lucy Kate Hale, Ashley Newbrough and JoAnna Garcia. The girls star in the new CW dramedy, Surviving the Filthy Rich, Tuesday nights following 90210. Get some insight on the characters and hear about the fashion right here:
We're back with another season 1 podcast for OTH's The Living Years. What a great episode! Sarah and I have a lot to talk about with this one. Brucas is officially a couple but Brooke is feeling a bit of a disconnect since they don't have the same interests. On top of this, Lucas seems to be hanging out with Peyton a bit more than usual. Speaking of Peyton, her dad has returned. Thanks to Lucas (of course) Mr. Sawyer is able to decrypt those really abstract drawings Peyton has been doing all these years (insert sarcasm here). Haley has turned into a rebel without a cause. She's ditching school, getting wasted with Nathan and gets an F on a pop quiz! At least she got to throw up on Dan - that was kind of worth it all.
We'll have more season 1 podcasts for you next week!
Jason C. asked some of the new cast of 90210 about the shoes they're going to have to fill. Jennie Garth, who returns as Kelly Taylor, tells us we can probably expect more racy issues than the previous years. This is interesting news considering her character had been shot, burned, joined a cult and was raped. We can't wait to see what's in store!
The CW has a sizzling new lineup coming to us this fall and we couldn't be more excited! Not only are some of our favorites back, we've got new shows that are sure to have us talking.
Monday Nights
The winning combo of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill will be back and filled with drama.
Even more to come...
Tuesday Nights
Get ready for two more shows filled with drama, sex, lust and money. The 90210 zip code is home to a whole new class at West Beverly High, and they only get sexier and more scandalous than the last class. Get some of the inside scoop on the new faces of 90210. Here are some photos of the new 90210 stars!
Following 90210 will be Surviving the Filthy Rich, about a Yale-educated journalist who hasn't quite found her dream job after college. To make ends meet she agrees to be a live-in tutor to twin heiresses who aren't so ready to learn. Of course, we've learned from watching some other spoiled rich girls - more money, more problems.
Check out Jason C.'s interview with the girls from Surviving the Filthy Rich.
Wednesday Nights
It's double trouble on Wednesday nights! It's a full two hours of Tyra Banks and Ken Mok-produced shows. Of course one of our favorites, America's Next Top Model, is back for another season of glory and Tyratude (we just coined that - not sure if we like ourselves or hate ourselves for that).
After watching a new set of girls learn to smile with their eyes, check out the fashion reality of Stylista. Watch some up-and-coming fashion enthusiasts claw (and cry) their way towards winning an editorial position with Elle magazine.
Thursday Nights
Our favorite action-adventure/sci-fi teams are back for another season of battles. Smallville and Supernatural are some of our favorite shows and we know their fans are some of the best out there. We can't wait to find out what happens to Clark and Dean after those cliffhangers!
Friday Nights
Another great tag-team (although not very close in terms of look and feel) we've got Everybody Hates Chris up first and then The Game rounding out our weekly lineup.
Reaper fans, don't worry - the show will be making a comeback as part of the mid-season lineup. The devil can't stay underground for too long you know.
The weekends will be getting a makeover on the CW as well. Stay tuned to the Source to find out all about some of the shows you can catch on your days off.
We've got the East Coast chic wardrobes of Gossip Girl to pine after, but what will the West Coast bring us when 90210 hits our sets? Jason C. speaks to some of the stars to get some answers.
If you're looking for eye candy this fall, look no further than the CW's most anticipated new show, 90210. Jason C. got a chance to speak with most of the cast at the CW Upfronts and we got to hear all about the new characters at West Beverly High.
Sarah and I are missing Jackie (but not as much as some of you miss her sense of reason) as we podcast our way through season 1 of One Tree Hill. Poor Jackie missed this episode, You Gotta Go There to Come Back, we knew she was excited to see Lucas and Brooke get busted with condoms and whipped cream by Deb.
Still, this one wasn't our favorite. Thank goodness for Jake and little baby Jenny making an appearance - we're happy he decided to take her to the open mic night. What did you think of this episode? Let us know in the comments. Also, don't forget you can add us as a friend on Facebook now!
It will be a long and hard few months of waiting for One Tree Hill to come back but luckily we've got some great stuff for you to look forward to. Jason C. has plenty of interviews coming your way and we've got more photos from the CW Upfronts.

Stay tuned for another OTH season 1 podcast later today!
The seasons have ended, the shocks and surprises are still sinking in, and it's time for us to take stock. That's right -- it's time for the CW Source awards!
Just like last year, we'll be nominating your favorite characters, shows and moments for the prestigious Sourcie awards. Right now, we want your input! What categories should we have this year? What moments do you want to nominate? Who should be up for the CW Source's ultimate honors?
Some of the categories are no-brainers. Who could resist voting on the Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Love Triangle or Biggest Shock? But what else? We want to know what YOU want to see. Tell us what the Sourcies acknowledge should this year -- Worst Villain? Biggest Bad-Ass? Biggest Reality Meltdown? Person You Love To Hate?

Leave your suggestions and nominations in the comments, and check back soon for the start of the Sourcies voting process!
Season 5 of One tree Hill may be over but we're still podcasting through season 1! For your audible pleasure we're giving you not one, but TWO season 1 podcasts today.
First on the list, we've got episode 8 (which I accidentally uploaded to iTunes a bit early, so some of you may have heard it already) The Search for Something More.
We've also got episode 9, With Arms Outstretched which we had such a fun time with. For those of you who like when we go off on tangents, you'll love this one.
Dean dead? How can it be? Well, I guess anything can happen when the Winchester brothers are involved. This episode had us in tears, especially since we'll have to wait a few months to see our boys again. Until then, here's Jason C. with a recap of the finale.
For a full recap click HERE
We're back with the final Jason C. recap for this season of Smallville. What a great episode, we can't wait until next season to see what happens next.

So, I might be working a little too hard. First I had a nightmare about One Tree Hill's Dan Scott kidnapping me. He did take me out for sushi though. Now last night, I had a dream that I was trying to convince Ian Ziering to take part in the new 90210 coming out in the fall. He refused but did give me his autograph (which I hadn't asked for). We still have to wait a while before the new kids make it onto our televisions, but we've always got the original to think about. Test your knowledge about the Walsh family and their friends by taking our 90210 quiz. Let us know how you do in the comments!
Reaper completely knocked us out with the season finale – seriously. We just regained consciousness. The combination of funny, scary, touching and surprising overloaded our poor season-finale-fried synapses. And in a week full of shockers, Reaper was one of the best of the bunch!
Tony and his demon cohorts need to check whether Sam is, in fact, Satan’s son, so they drop a washing machine on him from a great height. Sam’s bounty-hunter powers kick in, which they take as proof – since Sam isn’t splattered all over the floor, he must be eeeeeevil! Need more proof of Sam’s diabolical nature? He slaps a 50-percent-off sign on the damaged appliance. Hee!
Things start getting weird after that: There’s a stain on the wall that Sam swears looks like the face of Steve, the sweetheart demon who wanted to destroy the Devil through niceness before he was killed by Satan – and it keeps coming back. Sam comes home to find his parents fighting in a circle drawn on the patio, and his dad won’t tell him why. Later, Sam sees Steve in the security monitor. What’s going on?
Tony comes to visit – the demons have got a new plan, and they need…. Sam’s employee discount. Hee! They’re planning to build the cage of Solomon, and they need lots of equipment. What they don’t tell Sam is that the cage isn’t for Satan himself – it’s for Sam. Doh! Of course, the guys are distracted – Sam wondering what’s up with his parents, and Sock falling for a life-force-consuming succubus whose kiss bestows a short-term high but shaves a year off his life. As Sock has always been an instant-gratification kind of guy, this doesn’t bode well…
As if all this wasn’t enough, the Devil sends Sam out after the Soul of the Week, a tarot-card reader with a nasty attitude. Sam’s visit proves revealing – the cards show that some father figure is lying to Sam about his birth. Before he can learn more, the soul keeps flipping over the card for The Devil, which gives her a clue who Sam really is. She hits him with The Hanged Man, which strings Sam up with an invisible noose, then makes a run for it. Fortunately, Sock is still on his Succubus strength high, so he boosts Sam on his shoulders and takes off down the alley after her. Sock manages to fire off the vessel (a baseball) over a distance and takes out the soul, freeing Sam from the noose.
Sam confronts his dad – what are you lying about to me? Dad says he can’t tell him. Sam goes to Tony. On the upside, he finally learns the truth – his parents made a deal to bear the son of Satan. On the downside, well, he learns he’s the son of Satan, AND he’s thrown into the Cage of Solomon and about to be buried alive. Sam’s dad comes to plead his case, but one of the demons knocks him out with a shovel and throws him in the cage as well. Things look bad for Sam, but then he remembers what Steve’s beatific spirit told him: “Ask him about Cancun.” Tony says that’s the first place the couple vacationed together and they always said it was like heaven. Tony gets a vision: There’s Steve, looking downright angelic, saying that Heaven is even better than Cancun. That’s enough for Tony – he switches to demon form and busts Sam out, but Sam’s dad is left to die.
Sam tells his mom, who seems pretty cold about it all. The Devil stops by to pay his respects, and give Sam some time off, but he refuses to tell Sam the truth. The guys decide to pay tribute to Sam’s dad by building a giant straw man stuff full of fireworks. It’s actually pretty spectacular and surprisingly sweet. It sort of dampens the pain of realizing that (1) Sam may be the Antichrist, destined to bring about the end of the world, and (2) the other demons are going to keep trying to kill him. The guys decline to leave him to his fate.
The guys are so distracted by the pretty lights that they don’t realize what Sam’s mom is really doing – she’s digging. When she finally hits cage level, we hear coughing. “What took you so long?” says Sam’s not-dead dad. DUN!
The Gossip Girl cast is dressed to kill in these pics taken while the cast shot the season finale, "Much I Do About Nothing!" Check out the whole Gossip Girl gallery, then get our take on a few choice pics:

That's a bow tie only Chuck could get away with. Do you like it? We do.
Not loving Serena's dress, but Blake looks lovely:
Those gloves just aren't working for us. Luckily, Blake can pull anything off!
A few more after the jump, so keep reading!

Georgina, take your hands off Dan! He doesn't exactly look receptive to your advances.
She may be evil, but Georgina has undeniably awesome hair:

But who is she texting?

Sarah and I had some differing opinions when it came to the season finale of Gossip Girl but both agreed on some of the idiocy of the characters. We were M.I.A. last week so this week we've got a bigger (maybe better) version of our podcast for you. We discuss the last two episodes, "Woman on the Verge" and "Much I Do About Nothing". Let us know what's on your mind in the comments!
We know it took a while but you'll hear from Sarah's voice (and my lack of proper brain cells) that it's been quite a busy couple of weeks around here. Grab a cold beverage, get into a comfy chair and prepare yourself for 47 minutes of podcasting. Enjoy, and as always leave us any feedback or questions in the comments section. Also, if you've got a Facebook account, make sure you add us as a friend!
