So, Gossip Girl filmed in Times Square this morning. It was just Blake Lively from the main cast, in what seemed to be some kind of date scene. They had two pedicabs on the set, I don't know what exactly they did with them though.
No, I didn't meet anybody or take piccies, unfortunately before I was able to get close by with a camera, they had finished and the production had moved on. Early in the morning though I did pass by their craft services (catering) tent though, and it looked delish. I think I want to be a TV star just for the free food XD
I did get to stand there and gawk with a coworker for a few mins while they were filming, and I mean literally gawk because ( spoiler. ) But anyway, we're standing there and after a few, a PA comes over and goes, "yeah...we can actually see you guys on camera, just standing there watching...um, can you move?" LMAO. If I do see my ugly face in an upcoming ep, I'll let you know. Blake seemed very nice though, she was smiling whenever I did see her and she is just as pretty in RL. We admired her ridiculous high heel shoes.
What really amused me about the whole process was that they had 20-30 paid extras that were supposed to be random people walking about TS. But they were all dressed in ~trendy~ outfits and half of them carrying designer shopping bags. Um, that's perfect if you're portraying 5th Ave, but people like that are not indigenous to Times Square. The extras should have all been dressed in sweatpants and fanny packs, carrying maps and looking lost, with a few cranky natives making a beeline inbetween them. THAT is TS. In fact, they should have just used real tourists. Sorry, TV peeps, but it's just wrong to try to make Times Square ~classy~.
Fun fact: I actually have seen the guys of GG in rl before, but it was back when the show first debuted and no one (read: me) knew or cared who they were XD. They're yummy.
And now for a show with a similar premise, if looked at metaphorically...( Dexter 3x01 spoilers ahoy )
Meanwhile, I fell asleep watching House tonight. I'm not sure if this should be attributed to me being exhausted (11 hour workdays FTW!) or House being boring as fuck this season. Probably both. I'm sick of 13 and her drama and the fact that she's just a poor copy of Cameron, and I still have not been given any reason to care about Kumar and Baldy. I hate the House-Wilson breakup. The PI guy is kinda cute, but seriously? Do we seriously need more new characters? And where the hell are C/C/F?? I am almost beginning to miss Cutthroat Bitch, which shows what an EPIC STATE OF EMERGENCY this is. :O If House ran this show, he would have fired the writers a long time ago. (And then have a Survivor-like contest to choose who the 3 new writers should be....oh wait.)
Tell me f-list, should I bother watching the second half of tonight's ep?
EDITED TO ADD the original GG:
STILL FIERCE BB.
ETA 2: HOUSE SPOILER
WTF OH HALE NO! D:
