The Modern Romantic

Take the slim lines of The O.C. (it's produced by Josh Schwartz) add a handbag from Sex and the City (both are filmed on location in NYC) and toss in some girl-powered Less Than Zero pumps and you have Gossip Girl, who's source material (a series of kiddie books) would be easier to lampoon if it weren't for the fact that there's a show premiering this season based on a Geico commercial. The show premieres tonight on the CW and I've got peeps behind it, so watch. If nepotism isn't an incentive, if the show is successful, it'll give me an opportunity to tell you all about the time I tutored a diamond heiress' daughter in her Upper East Side townhouse.
