Blair, Serena, Chuck, Nate and Dan might’ve graduated high school seasons ago, but they are still making the same mistakes. Last night on “Gossip Girl,” Blair unleashed her inner Queen Bee only to boss around and mistreat her minions (Penelope returns), Serena accidentally ruins a life, like she has done so many times before, Chuck makes a scene, Nate gets whored out, and Dan does what he does best, he jumps to conclusions and hurts somebody’s feelings. The characters are making same mistakes, but this isn’t high school anymore, the stakes are higher now and that means that they have a lot more to loose.

Dan Humphrey is enjoying the fruits of his labor. The “Gossip Girl” stud always had the chops to be a successful writer. In the first season he won a young writer’s contest, followed by a short story published in The New Yorker. In the past, whenever he came close to ‘making it,’ his father would work at his conscience. He told him never demean others to attain success because you could end up alone. Five seasons later, those words have become a reality. Everyone is on non-speaking terms with him, including Rufus. So last night’s episode ‘The Fasting and the Furious’ focused on the aftermath of his book release.

For so long “Gossip Girl” fans have been waiting for the moment when Lonely Boy, Dan Humphrey would release a tell-all novel. Though it was just recently revealed (in Season 4) that Dan was even working on a novel, it was always implied that Dan would someday give his perspective on being the outsider among his rich society friends. Finally that day came, and it was well worth the wait. During last night’s episode of “Gossip Girl” Dan spent his time trying to convince Serena, Blair, Chuck, and Nate, that Inside is a work of fiction and merely inspired by their lives, and he learned the true meaning of what it is to be a Lonely Boy.

Now that Blair’s pregnancy is confirmed, the big question is, who’s the father? Last night’s episode of “Gossip Girl” shows Blair trying to avoid the results of her baby’s paternity test. Dan tries to distract himself with Blair’s problems, but eventually has to deal with his own trouble. Dan has to decide between leaving his novel anonymous or owning up to the work and putting his name on it. And for the first time ever, “Gossip Girl” gets a dog!

There’s more scheming and more lies coming this season of “Gossip Girl.” In last night’s episode ‘Beauty and the Feast,’ the villain was introduced, and she’s already stirring up some drama. Serena is still in Los Angeles, spending time with her non-cousin Charlie/Ivy, seeing past all her shadiness. Dan brings the laughs when he reconnects with Chuck, who’s twice found in a back alley. And, Blair reveals some life-changing news that’s going to make Season 5 of “Gossip Girl” one to remember.

The season premiere of “Gossip Girl” opened 3,000 miles west of the Upper East Side. Best friends Chuck Bass and Nate Archibald traveled across the country to meet up with Serena van der Woodsen. Last season, Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell made a short blink-and-you-missed-it cameo on the show, where he offered Serena a job on his new (fictitious) set of The Beautiful and Damned. Now, Serena is working hard as a production assistant (or intern) in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Blair Waldorf is still chasing fairy tales.

There were a lot of guest stars including Elizabeth Hurley, Zoë Bell, and another David. O. Russell cameo. It was a big season premiere with plenty of new storylines, plus the unresolved ones of last season.

The Green Lantern has a listed production budget of $200 Million dollars. Currently the film has made $114 Million domestic, with that total edging toward maybe crossing over $120 Million. Currently the international numbers list the all-in total at $40 Million, which means even if a studio got every dollar of every ticket (they don’t, the rule of thumb is usually a 2-1 ratio), they haven’t made a profit, and may never. And yet Jeff Robinov has told the LA Times that the sequel – which they are supposedly working on – needs to be “edgier.”

After two weekends, Green Lantern has made a little less than $90 Million at the box office – which is low for a film that supposedly cost $200 Million (with a supposed additional $100 for advertising). And yet Warner Brothers suggested this weekend that they’re going forward with a sequel. At least that’s what The Hollywood Reporter is suggesting. Will Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively get a second chance?

After all the hype and build up, it’s finally time for Green Lantern to take a swing at the box office this weekend and show us what it’s got! This has been a film long time coming, one we’ve seen bits of since last year’s Comic-Con. Now it’s finally time for Ryan Reynolds to appear in his skin tight CGI spandex, spewing witty lines. The film is not perfect, and at times it feels extremely over-worked, but there are a number of good performances and enough entertaining moments that make it worth a journey to the theater. Though I would recommend saving yourself a couple of bucks and seeing it in 2D instead of 3D, you won’t miss out on anything. Find out more below…
