In other Gossip Girl news...

Michael Ausiello reports that America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks will guest star in Gossip Girl's 4th episode of the new season (tentatively scheduled to air on Monday, October 5th). In her first acting gig since an appearance on NBC's American Dreams in 2004, the fierce one will play Ursula Nyquist, an actress who proves to be quite the handful for new publicist Serena when she is assigned to keep tabs on the diva at a movie premiere.

Grant Show who played Jake Hanson on the original Melrose Place has said that he would be open to doing a guest turn on The CW's 2009 re-boot. Show who will be appearing opposite Jenna Elfman on CBS' new sitcom Accidentally On Purpose this fall told reporters about the change of heart at the TCA meetings in Hollywood yesterday. However, don't look for him on Melrose this season. We've been talking, but nothing solid," Show says. "I'm not opposed to it... They haven't come up with the writing for me yet. I'm not sure they're even going to need me this year -- maybe next year."

Here's another golden opportunity to spot some of your favorite CW stars in the city today.

If you're planning on being in Midtown this evening...drop by The Ziegfield Theater (West 54th Street Between 6th and 7th Avenue). Gossip Girl will be filming some exterior and interior scenes there. This season, Hilary Duff will be playing Vanessa and Blair's NYU roommate -- who also happens to be a film star, so it's no stretch to assume that Ms. Duff could be in the neighborhood. In another storyline, Serena takes a job as a publicist and will have her hands full trying to control a client at a NY Film Premiere. That client will be played by Tyra Banks. Will there be a Blake Lively or Tyra Banks sighting? Hey, you never know!

Also today...head down to Wooster and Grand Street in NoLita and you might run into some cast members of The Beautiful Life: TBL. They're filming today!

Don't forget, tomorrow and Friday, The Beautiful Life: TBL is scheduled to film scenes near Katz' Deli on the Lower East Side. Look for some action on Ludlow St. between East Houston and Delancey Streets.

When I saw this, I was confused and had to check the calendar because I thought today might be April Fool's Day.

Nope. Today is indeed August 6th and when I tell you that Paris Hilton will be guest-starring on Supernatural, it is no joke.

"If anyone ever wanted to see a bloodthirsty Paris attack and kill somebody, this is your chance, said Eric Kripke, the show's executive producer."
Kripke added he was "quite frankly shocked that Paris agreed to do it."

According to The Sun, a British tabloid, Paris guest stars as "a demonic creature that takes the form of... Paris Hilton."

"If you know our style, you know we go pretty funny and irreverent with this stuff, so expect that. The fact that she wanted to do the episode speaks volumes about her sense of humor. She's flat-out awesome for playing along, says writer Sera Gamble who wrote the role just for Paris. "We're very excited that she said yes, added Gamble.

Interesting news from the set of 90210. The show has cast Zachary Ray Sherman as Jasper Herman, the nephew of the guy that Annie hit with her car in May's cliffhanger season finale. What is this guy after? So far, we know that he will befriend Annie and worm his way into her life and inner circle, but what is his agenda...and is it sinister?

"I have a bad feeling in my gut, and I think he's going to take Annie for a little bit of a spin," Shenae Grimes revealed to E! TV. "She thinks she finds love and that may screw her up a little more," she said.

"My gut instinct is that he may [know about her role in the car accident], but Annie hasn't told anybody. It's definitely a secret right now," Grimes added.

Want a peek at the new season of 90210? Check out the hot new tongue-in-cheek, double-entendre laced promo below.

These women are all in the running to be America's Next Top Model this fall:

Gossip Girl producers are currently casting Gabriela Adams, Vanessa's mother. She is described as a good-looking, outgoing, charming African-American woman in her early 40's.

Chris Riggi will play Scott, the son that a young Lily gave up without telling Rufus (and half-brother to Dan, Jenny, Serena and Eric). Lily and Rufus will be reunited with Scott in episode 5 of the new season, though the younger siblings will meet him in an earlier episode. Scott will appear during the first 5 episodes of the season and likely recur after that.

Speaking of episode 5 (scheduled to air on October 12th), alternative rock group Sonic Youth will appear and perform.

For the fashionistas out there, look for designers Tory Burch and Georgina Chapman to make cameos in episode 4 of the new season.

If you can stand the heat, today's a nice day to hang out in the park. Better yet, if you're in Brooklyn, go to the Botanical Gardens (Prospect Park). Gossip Girl is filming in and around the Gardens today.

The Beautiful Life : TBL is on the Upper West Side today filming on Columbus Ave around 104th St.

When the Tyra Banks Show jumps to The CW in September, Tyra will be exposing a part of herself that hasn't been seen in quite some time. Say hello to Tyra Banks au naturel. Gone is the weave. Yes, the hair that has rocked the catwalks and the judging panel at America's Next Top Model will be gone.

Tyra recently took to her Twitter account and revealed her plans:

"Guess What! I'm rockin' my REAL hair on my talk show September 8th. No fake hair at all! Will be the hair coming out of my scalp! 4 all 2 C!" She added, "no ponytails, no ballet bun head. hair will be out and free!"

This was followed by an official press release where Tyra announced:

"This season on The Tyra Show we're taking it to the next level and getting more real than ever before by encouraging women everywhere to own and rock what they've got and be proud!"

"For the season 5 premiere, I will be doing just that - no fake hair, I'm rocking my REAL hair. This will all be going down on September 8, 2009, which we're declaring National Real Hair Day! We welcome everyone to go natural with me!"

Keeping with the theme of encouraging women to be proud of what they've got, the new cycle of America's Next Top Model, will feature a roster of contestants who are all 5' 7" or shorter, well below the industry standard.

The Tyra Banks Show moves to The CW on September 7th. America's Next Top Model returns with a 2-hour premiere beginning at 8pm on, Wednesday, September 9th.

Producers of The Beautiful Life: TBL have ordered Mischa Barton to lose weight. On TBL, Mischa plays Sonja Stone, a diva supermodel with a roaring drug habit. In order to convincingly play this strung out drug-addicted model, Mischa has been told she needs to shed 10 pounds. According to a report in Britain's Star Magazine, Mischa was "shocked to tears" at the order.

"She knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back. She knows she is heavier than she needs to be, but to hear it like that? It really shook her," said a source quoted by The Star.

She's broken down in tears more than once before shooting. It's a lot of pressure for someone who is just out of hospital," said the source.

However, Barton is taking the order seriously and has been spotted frequently by paparazzi on her way to regular personal training sessions at a downtown Equinox.

"She's always been able to lose weight fast. Everyone knows she's been struggling, so people are just really rooting for her, added the source. "

Jaime Murray, best known as Dexter's psycho girlfriend Lila Tournay on season 2 of the Showtime drama will join the cast of The Beautiful Life: TBL for multiple episodes.

Murray will play Vivienne, a powerful wardrobe stylist (and cougar) who has the hots for young male model Isaac played by Corbin Bleu.

Nina Garcia, former editor of Elle and judge on the long-running cable-hit Project Runway will be playing herself in an upcoming episode of The Beautiful Life: TBL.

From time to time, I'll be checking in on some of your favorite CW and WB programs to catch you up on what the stars of those shows have been up to since their departure from the airwaves. Next up...Everwood!

Multiple media sources are reporting that Heather Locklear is currently engaged in negotiations to reprise her "guest star" role as ad exec Amanda Woodward on the CW's reboot of Melrose Place this season.

According to an inside source with the show, there is a strong chance that Amanda Woodward will make her way back to the show.

There are definitely talks going on," says the insider. "It's better-than-even money that she'll do it. Everyone's optimistic, absolutely. [Heather] saw the pilot and loved it. Hopefully [the producers will] figure out something great for her creatively."

Originally Locklear had passed on the project because she thought "there was [no] way to bring [Amanda] back that made sense," but producers left the door open in case she changed her mind.

No word yet on whether Jack Wagner has been approached to reprise his role of Dr. Peter Burns. Wagner is Locklear's off-screen boyfriend, but also played Locklear's on-screen love interest on the original Melrose Place. Wagner and Locklear have sparked rumors of a real-life engagement, though the couple has denied this.

Producers have also left the door open to Grant Show (Jake Hanson) who has expressed interest in appearing on the program (though perhaps not this season).

If Locklear signs on to do Melrose Place, she will be the 5th original castmember to make the jump. She would join Thomas Calabro, Laura Leighton, Josie Bissett and Daphne Zuniga who have already committed to appearing on the series.

If you enjoy the angst and drama on Gossip Girl, then perhaps you'll find it refreshing to take a look at the unintentional comedy generated on the Gossip Girl set in this season 2 blooper and gag reel!

After a couple of days shooting in and around Gramercy Park, my spies report that Gossip Girl will be filming today in the vicinity of 9th Ave. between 15th and 16th Streets. If you're in the area, go check it out. From what I hear, tomorrow they will be back in studio filming at Silvercup in Long Island City - so today might be your last/best chance this week to catch a glimpse of the action! Of course there's always next week!

Is Chuck Bass playing for the other team? It has already been widely reported that in episode 6 of Gossip Girl (tentatively scheduled to air on October 19th), Chuck Bass will lock lips with Josh Ellis, a new character played by Neal Bledsoe.

Word is that the manipulative Blair pimps out Chuck to seduce Josh, NYU's Head of Freshman Affairs so that Blair will be given the honor of delivering the annual freshman speech at the university. (Side note...I went to NYU and know nothing about this so-called annual speech -- but I digress). In any case, the two get together and apparently the sparks fly from there.

In Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl novels, Chuck Bass is bisexual, so it looks like the TV show is covering ground previously set up in the book franchise.

So...the question of the day is: Will Chuck really be going gay or is this simply a part of some agenda for the scheming lothario? With the Bass-hole, I'm guessing it's more likely to be the latter -- but only time will tell. Tune in and find out!

The season premiere of Gossip Girl is less than 3 weeks away! New episodes of Gossip Girl begin Monday, September 14th at 9pm.

Tyra Banks is teasing her fans to promote the season premiere of her daily talk show which is moving to The CW this fall. As previously reported, Tyra is going weaveless and plans to show the world her real hair -- something not seen in public since, ummmm....forever (?). Tyra recently previewed her new look in a recent Twitter post, but you'll have to tune into the show for the big reveal because the pic that she posted blurs out the "good stuff."

On her Twitter page, Tyra tweeted a message to her fans with the blurred pic:

Here's me rockin my REAL hair, had 2 blur it so its still a surprise on Sept 8! Who else is sportin their real hair that day?

Tyra moves to The CW on Monday, September 7th with back-to-back shows airing from 3-5pm (4-5pm are originals). Tyra will "expose herself " on September 8th. :)

Back in July, Mischa Barton was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The development was the source of rumors of a possible suicide attempt and the loss of a featured role on The CW's upcoming fall series, The Beautiful Life: TBL.

Now, hard at work on TBL, Mischa finally comes clean and explains in her own words the circumstances that led to her hospitalization.

Hilary Duff has reportedly been making life difficult on the set of Gossip Girl. So says Page Six. According to those other gossip mongers, Ms. Duff threw a tantrum and refused to leave her trailer, causing delays and setting production back while filming the other day in and around Gramercy Park.

A source told Page Six that "one of the girls refused to get out of her trailer," while a second source identified "the girl" as Hilary Duff. "No one could believe they would actually hold up taping for her. Nobody in the cast behaves like that," the source said.

Hilary Duff 's publicist was unavailable to comment , but Gossip Girl representatives categorically deny the story saying "it's absolutely not true."

So I guess you could say that the Duff huff has been snuffed. Ok..that's enuff. :)

The Tyra Banks Show won the Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show at The 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony held last night at the Orpheum Theater in Hollywood.

This was Tyra's second win and her third nomination in the Outstanding Informative Talk Show category. Tyra has 5 Emmy wins under her belt and has received 14 nominations across all Emmy categories.

Last night she beat our Dr. Phil and The Doctors to take the prize!

Appearing on stage with her production crew in some red-orange number (don't ask me who she was wearing 'cause I know not of these things), Tyra accepted the award during a rushed speech.

"This is for the women out there that just do not feel beautiful that are watching TV right now that do not have time to do your makeup because you're running after your kids. I GET it. This is for the kids in high school that feel insecure when they walk onto that campus because they're surrounded by hate and...and...this is for YOU GUYS. You ROCK! We love you! Peace and love," Tyra said.

The Tyra Banks Show moves to the CW next Monday with back-to-back episodes airing M-F/3-5pm.
