"It appears that frustratingly under-the-radar pop star Robyn may soon be getting some wider exposure. The singer tweeted a picture of herself on the Gossip Girl set Tuesday evening, indicating Robyn may be appearing or performing on the show. The image of Blair on a screen in the background of the picture suggests she'll be showing up at something awesome like Blair’s birthday party rather than, say, a Vanessa-organized potluck. In any event, here’s hoping she gets more airtime than she did on the VMAs. [Twitpic/@RobynKonichiwa]"
Finally, Gossip Girl may be good for something. I still can't fathom why New York Magazine--who should know better--celebrates this show so strenuously. In an interview with the always compelling Gothamist, Whit Stillman put it best:
Have you seen Gossip Girl? I don't mean to be flippant but in terms of culture there's this dominant, sexcapade-y, exclusivity thing now pinned to private school life. It's the usual garbage. And people describing, inaccurately, things they don't know anything about. Unfortunately, garbage creates more garbage. People imitate it because that's the way they feel like they should act. I think Metropolitan is the antithesis to Gossip Girl.
I think so too. Metropolitan, which I just saw (after hearing about it for ages) is breathtaking, devastating, tonally perfect, and so's, since she's whom occasioned the post, Robyn.
