Just an update regarding the gallery. From today onwards, the gallery may only be viewed by registered users only. I know this won’t be a popular opinion with some. But this is a decision we feel is best for the site. It’s not something we just decided all of a sudden. So I hope you can all understand. It’s something in the long run we believe will be of great benefit to the site.

So if you haven’t already please register to view the pictures in the gallery. If you’re having any difficulties then feel free to email me. Also, the gallery has a new, absolutely AMAZING layout up. Made by the extremley talented Mike from Photogenic Designs.

For the characters on Gossip Girl, summer means hanging out in the Hamptons by the beach or the pool (or Coney Island if you’re Dan & Jenny). But summertime for the Gossip Girl cast means freedom from filming and taking a little time to relax and have fun, which is exactly what Blake Lively (Serena) and Penn Badgley (Dan) were doing last Wednesday night, when they went to check out Taylor Momsen’s band, The Pretty Reckless, in NYC.

Taylor and her band played at the Annex and they really rocked the house! The songs were great, Taylor had a great stage presence, and you could really tell she was into the music.

In between songs, Blake & Penn shared a few kisses (so cute!) but the venue was so dark that we couldn’t get any GG-style cameraphone pics to show you. We’ll make sure to bring Darota and a digital camera along next time.

Check out theprettyreckless.com to catch Taylor’s band in a city near you.
