Blake Lively and Penn Badgley had a chocolate-filled shopping trip at Godiva in NYC on Sunday. While their
Gossip Girl characters aren't together for now, the real life couple is still going strong and gearing up for the
holiday season. Even if Serena and Dan
didn't share Thanksgiving dinner, maybe Blake and Penn will have the chance to set the table together, especially since Blake's family is
such a fan of her boyfriend.

Rihanna was on hand to light UNICEF's Snowflake in NYC last night before hitting the red carpet in
a more dramatic gown alongside Blake Lively and Madonna. The snowflake marks the beginning of
holiday shopping season, which we've already gotten a great start on around here with
all our fabulous gift guides. Rihanna was also there to officially launch her
Tattoo Heart Collection for Gucci, which also benefits UNICEF.

After lighting UNICEF's Snowflake in New York City yesterday, Rihanna was joined by Madonna, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Mary J. Blige and Adrian Grenier for the Gucci Tattoo Heart Collection dinner. Rihanna officially launched her collection to benefit UNICEF at the event at Plaza Hotel: check out her most recent video ad

Some of the
Gossip Girl cast was hard at work as usual on the set in NYC yesterday. Last night was Thanksgiving time for our favorite Upper East Siders, which
brought with it drama as usual, as well as some heart warming moments and festive holiday attire —
get the looks from the episode here. The hour wrapped itself up nicely while setting up for the next big plot shocker, while keeping us on our toes with the
fashion,
beauty, and
gadgets.

The lush green background made the dresses stand out at last night's CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund event in NYC, where
Alexander Wang took home the prize;
check out all the other winners here. Anna Wintour, who
may be considering retirement, hosted some of Manhattan's pretty young things at the soiree. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley traveled as a duo as usual, though they never pose together.

On this week's
Gossip Girl there aren't things like murders or drug overdoses, which I was hoping for kind of expecting given the show's history. In fact, it seems like everyone puts aside their differences for one day in the spirit of Thanksgiving despite the fact that Gossip Girl hinted there would be "lying, manipulation, and betrayal" on the Upper East Side.
The entire cast is present in this episode, too, and it seems like all loose ends from the past couple of episodes have been tied up, while the seeds for future intrigue are definitely sown.

The
Gossip Girl cast got bundled up and took over Manhattan for another day of filming yesterday. On
last night's episode we got to see Jenny and Dan each play out their passions in very different ways, while Chuck and Blair worked on issues with their respective parents
at home. Serena stuck by
her phone as the usual
fashion and
beauty kept us captivated.

On this week's
Gossip Girl, love is in the air for Serena, who is aglow with feelings for Aaron the artist. Also glowing? Eleanor Waldorf!

It was a star-studded hot pink carpet last night at the Juicy Couture 5th Avenue flagship store opening in NYC. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley arrived together and smiled and chatted with fans, while Sarah Michelle Gellar struck a pose for the photographers. Jessica Szohr and Emma Roberts showed off their bright Juicy dresses, and Emma blushed when she revealed her celebrity crush is Nick Jonas.

Things got a bit somber for the cast of
Gossip Girl yesterday, as they headed to a cemetery in NYC to film scenes for an upcoming episode. Guess this means the funeral we've been hearing about isn't too far off. Of course, the cast still managed to
look fabulous in their black mourning wear.
