During their recent interview with StarNews, group 2NE1 reveals something which many fans have been curious about – their ideal type of guy!

Go under the cut to find out the girls’ ideal type of guy and also their future plans and goals for next year!

[An abstract from the interview]

Q: Currently 2NE1 members have no boyfriends, there are many fans who are curious about your ideal type of guys.

• Park Bom: I’d like someone who can only loves me. I don’t really look at the looks.
• CL: Teddy oppa’s style, who is like my real oppa, is my ideal type. I like someone who is caring, works hard at what he is doing and is a good listener.
• Sandara Park: The style I like are like celebrities WonBin and Kang DongWon. The toughness within the soft image.
• Gong MinJi: I like someone who has a pretty smile, is caring and sincere.

Q: Further plans and next year’s aim:

• Park Bom: Even though this will be discussed in more details with the company, but by looking at it now, looks like 2NE1’s 1st full length album will come out early next year. And I want to do our own concert after the album release.
• CL: We are currently preparing for our full length album and we will appear in front of everyone with a new image. Because it has been long and we want to present our best, we will work hard for this 1st full length album. Oh and, personally I found that we have musical charms through our performance during 2009 MAMA. If there is any opportunities, I want to take up a challenge in this area.
• Sandara Park: I’ve seen how many people would follow our clothes and songs when I return to the Philippines after debuting as 2NE1. And there are many people who asked me why 2NE1 did not come along. Even though there are no plans about this yet, if there is a chance, I want to go to the Philippines with 2NE1. Oh and, I have interests in acting too. I want to try out roles similar to that played by seonbae Han YeSeul in drama ‘Fantasy Couple’. But of course, currently 2NE1’s promotion is the top priority.
• Gong MinJi: Even though there are no solid plans yet, we will work hard to show more improved features next year as compared to this year.

Hi kids,
I’d been having thoughts about trying to get some of my jokes onto T-Shirts. I’ve now actually done something about it by setting up an online store. While I haven’t actually managed to use too many of the gags you’ve read here, it has got me thinking about other T-Shirt designs. You can check them out by clicking Teddy’s Shop

I’ll be adding more designs to it as I go along. If you like what you see then please tell your mates too. I’ve got some writing work lined up for January, but frankly, I need to be pushing myself on every front possible to make a living. Not trying to be a corporate twat – you’ll notice I’m not selling T-Shirts with my own name or face on them. I have a healthy awareness that nobody knows who the fuck I am nor cares to

Here’s an example of my ‘work’:

Teddy x

Snow has fallen lightly, in spite of the weather experts’ best guesses, covering my local landscape with a dusting of white that reminds me of nothing so much as powdered sugar over beignets (though the snow may not be quite that thick).

I really wanted this snow.  I am currently being good-naturedly blamed for it by some of me friends and coworkers who aren’t as fond of the winter as I am.  If I could control the weather, I tell them, I’d be making a lot more money.

Where does it come from, the idea that simple human desire can cause things to happen, even things like snow?  Why is it so hard to let go of that idea even when faced with incontrovertible proof that my desires really don’t sway the spheres in any meaningful way?  Mind over matter – sometimes it seems to work and sometimes matter takes one look at mind and says, “Nice try, Buddy, but it’s not gonna happen.”

There are times when I need to remind myself, I don’t control the weather, I couldn’t control Teddy’s life and death, I can’t control others’ actions, I can’t bring dark and terrible things upon myself just because of a moment of happiness.  I’m not that important in the grand scheme of things, and frankly, this is something of a blessing.

December is a good time to make peace with the many things I can’t control, but it’s difficult to let go of the desire to shape the world to my will, even if it’s impossible.  Dot is 32 weeks and all (so far, so far) seems to be just fine.  But there’s not much I can do to make sure she’s okay besides take care of myself and avoid caffeine and potentially dangerous foods.  It just doesn’t feel like enough.

But snow, even a light powdering of it, is a wish granted.  I didn’t cause it, but I’ll take it and enjoy it.  And if there’s a fairy godmother responsible, well then, thank you, Fairy Godmother.  And would it be bad form for me to ask you about your whereabouts in 2008?

A teddy beer was sitting on a mountain. A rabbit hided in his backside. Teddy beer asked wheather my ball has fallen in water. Rabbit was about to fall in water. Teddy beer escaped. Rabbit went with teddy beer. In the meanwhile a sparrow also approached there. All three were going.

There was a house of bat on the way. It said by seeing them, “where are you going? Sit in my house for sometime. I am making tea, go after taking it. All took tea together and ate cake alongwith, and went to their houses after sufficient talking.

There was a pooh. Who lived in jungle. The teddy beer ran out by seeing him. Pooh said, “do not afraid off. I shall not harm you. What is your name? Pooh said his name is Styles. Where do you live? I live in a village. Where do you live? pooh asked.

He said he live in jungle. My house is in jungle. You may came to see me and time again. Come to my house, i shall give you a lot of honey and noodles. We should eat it by reaching at home. Pooh said, now, we both have become friends. Now you may meet me and come to my house.

Like any other Americans, the family living in the big white house on Pennsylvania avenue has traditions surrounding the holiday season as well. Sit back, and get comfortable, while we explore how Presidents have celebrated Christmas from President George Washington to President Barack Obama.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. ~ President Calvin Coolidge

President Theodore Roosevelt and First Ladies Alice and Edith 1901-1909

As the youngest man ever to take the oath of office, Theodore Roosevelt came to the White House with a large, vivacious young family. With him were his wife, Edith, and his six children aged three through seventeen. While there is no record of the 26th President sending any official White House Christmas cards, there is much written about how the Roosevelts would spend their holiday celebrations.

President William Howard Taft and First Lady Helen 1909-1913

On the subject of William Howard Taft and Christmas, more than a few presidential historians have likened the large, jovial Taft to a Santa Claus-like figure. Few would deny that the burly Ohioan was a warm, generous and good man, but it was this very nature which made him a relatively ineffectual politician and led to a mostly forgettable presidency, which avoided any major catastrophies, other than the political ones inflicted on Taft’s party and his electoral career.

During his time in office, Taft’s famously generous nature was apparent in the scope and number of Christmas gifts he sent out. The president believed more in the act of giving than in the essential value of the gifts themselves. As did not limit his gifts to family and friends, his Christmas list often climbed into the hundreds. He would send out presidential Christmas cards to accompany the gifts. Oftentimes, his aides would have to scramble to acquire more White House cards as the list grew to ungainly lengths. Mr. Taft would usually devote several days of his own time to going Christmas shopping from store-to-store.

Flyer from the Election of 1908. Taft defeated opponent William Jennings Bryan in the election shortly before Christmas.

The Taft’s were also the initial First Family to display the White House Christmas tree and hold the presidential Christmas party in the Blue Room, a location previously considered sacred to official entertaining.

President Woodrow Wilson and First Ladies Ellen and Edith 1913-1921

Woodrow Wilson had the first Christmas tree put up and decorated in the White House when he was President of the United States. Wilson was accustomed to having gatherings with the attendance of many intellectuals and family. As President he also wanted to have a national Christmas tree lighting ceremony and in 1913, the first year the president was in office, he was able to have a celebration with a Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Christmas Eve at the Capital.

The White House also had its first Christmas tree that year, although it did not become a national tradition until Calvin Coolidge became president and First Lady Grace Coolidge gave permission to put a tree on the Ellipse.

President Wilson asked that a community Christmas tree be placed at the Capitol in 1913, requesting a national tree lighting event to be started. A U.S. Marine Band, 1,000 singers, and a costumed group re-enacted the Nativity on Christmas Eve. Wilson also planted an elm tree outside the North Portico of the White House a few days before Christmas to symbolize peace and serenity. A night view of this tree would become a watercolor done by Robert H. Laessig that graced the 1966 White House Christmas cards of President Lyndon Johnson.

President Warren G. Harding and First Lady Florence 1921-1923

Warren G. Harding would only live to see two Christmas seasons after being elected the 29th President of the United States. President and Mrs. Harding were able to escape the stresses of Washington D.C. and their political and social obligations their first Christmas in the white house by traveling to North Carolina during the holidays.

President Harding passed away suddenly several months after celebrating what was to be his second and last Presidential Christmas in 1922. Unfortunately, Harding’s marital indiscretions were not his only shortcomings, many of which did not come to light until after he passed away.
The President sent a gift to his sister, Abigail, a former school teacher of one of Harding’s several known mistresses. Accompanying the gift was a Presidential Christmas card of sorts, a handwritten note on White House stationery. Dated December 23, 1922, the letter read:

Dear Sister Abigail, Enclosed find a little Christmas gift, a token of a brother’s loving regard. I shall think of you at Xmas time, and I shall have a real regret that I can not celebrate in the atmosphere of home and amid the surroundings of family and friends. My love and good wishes to you. Yours affectionately, Warren G. Harding

In the year of his death Harding was photographed buying Christmas seals from a young girl suffering with tuberculosis. The President would reach his untimely death prior to the holidays that year and would not be able to use the Christmas seals he had purchased for his official White House Christmas cards. Harding and John F. Kennedy are the only two presidents to have predeceased their fathers.

President Calvin Coolidge and First Lady Grace 1923-1929

As the 30th President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge was the first to truly extend a White House Christmas celebration to the American people. During his first Christmas in the White house in 1923, he initiated the tradition of the National Community Christmas Tree. A 48-foot Balsam Fir from his native state of Vermont was erected on The Ellipse, and an electric button enabled the President to light the tree on demand for the first ever National Community Christmas Tree lighting ceremony.

During the summer of 1924, Coolidge’s youngest son, Calvin, Jr., died of staphylococcus septicemia, an event that was said to have changed “Silent Cal” forever. That same year, the White House received a record setting 12,000 Christmas cards from the American public.

The Coolidge's 1927 Christmas tree

In 1925 after the National Community Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, 2,000 people were welcomed to the White House grounds for caroling led by the choir from the President’s church. And on New Year’s Day, almost 4,000 people were invited to line up and shake the hands of the President and First Lady.

“Silent Cal” received his nickname from his stoic and serious demeanor. But in 1926, after receiving so many heartfelt gifts and Christmas cards from the American people, Coolidge was so emotionally affected that he gave a gift of a gold coin to all of the White House officials and staff members.

The Coolidges - 1927 signed Christmas message

In 1928, Coolidge decided not to run for re-election, making this his last Christmas in the White House. At the National Community Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, Coolidge spoke to the large crowd of spectators and to the American people listening on their radios, “In token of the good-will and happiness of the holiday season and as an expression of the best wishes of the United States toward a Community Christmas Tree, in behalf of the city of Washington, I now turn on the current which will illuminate this tree.”

President Herbert Hoover and First Lady Lou 1929-1933

Herbert Hoover took office as the 31st President of the United States in March of 1929. Several months later on Tuesday, October 29, the stock market crashed triggering the onset of the Great Depression. Americans were reluctant to spend money on holiday gifts and Christmas cards, but this didn’t stop the President and First Lady Lou Henry from doing so. The First Lady had an impressive collection of old photographs of the White House and gave five different etchings of these photographs to over 200 White House staff members. Some were mounted and personalized with the greeting, “Best Wishes of Herbert Hoover and Lou Henry Hoover.” Additionally, President Hoover gave his personal staff a photo of himself on his horse, Billy, at his Rapidan Camp in Shenandoah Nation Park, Virginia.

The Hoovers - Christmas notecards from 1929

The Hoovers carried on the tradition set by the Coolidges of lighting the National Christmas Tree. The original living Norway spruce donated to Coolidge in 1924 by the AFA (American Forestry Association) had to be replaced due to wear and tear from decorating and trimming. Another living Norway spruce was donated by the AFA from Amawalk Nursery in Westchester County, New York and planted in Sherman Plaza. During the tree lighting ceremony, the President addressed the crowd and the listeners on their radios, “I want to have the privilege of wishing you all, and all the unseen audiences, a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”

Additionally, each gift was accompanied by an engraved card with a personalized greeting that read, “The President and Mrs. Hoover take Christmas pleasure in presenting this historic bit of pinewood with their greetings.” Mrs. Hoover also had framed photograph prints distributed to additional staff members and aides.

The Hoovers - 1932 Christmas card featuring side-by-side photographs of the executive couple

In 1932, for the Hoovers last Christmas at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they gave a gift of a leather folder that included photographs of the President and a separate photograph of the First Lady with two White House police dogs. A personal note accompanied the folder that read, “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Herbert Hoover and from Lou Henry Hoover and Weegie and Pat 1932 – 33.”

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor 1933-1945

Franklin Delano Roosevelt began his first term as the 32nd President of the United States in 1933. That year, the White House received a record 40,000 Christmas and holiday cards from the American public; the number was so large that a staff had to be hired to handle the influx of mail. The Roosevelts sent Christmas cards to close family and friends. The card they ordered was single-sided and featured an etching of the White House, hand engraved by A.B. Tolly. That same year marked the 10th anniversary of the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. 5,000 people attended the ceremony, during which Roosevelt gave the longest speech to date. Roosevelt’s speech established the tradition of the president speaking directly to the American people during the tree lighting ceremony.

Tensions overseas continued to augment with the onset of the following year. Nazi forces invaded Czechoslovakia and Poland, and Germany created an alliance with Italy. France and Great Britain also created an alliance and declared war on Germany while the Soviets signed an armistice with Japan and removed all military support from China.

The Roosevelts - Christmas Card from 1935

In 1935, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt purchased gifts for White House staff members from Val-Kill Industries, a workshop she established with several lady friends to help low-income families supplement earnings by crafting furniture and metalware. Each pewter gift was accompanied by a single-sided Christmas card that featured a photograph of the President and First Lady. The White House that year received over 6,000 Christmas cards, and the Roosevelts sent out 400 Christmas cards to family and friends.

The following year, the First Lady again purchased metal gifts from The Forge for the White House staff. The card design featured a lithograph of a bucolic red farmhouse and barn flanked by two evergreen trees. At the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, 3,000 people were present to hear FDR’s annual speech, in which he discussed Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and Scrooge’s renewed sense of self from the lessons he learned. With the reforms set into motion from the President’s First New Deal, the economy was on an up swing for the first time since the onset of the depression years.

1940 Christmas gift from the President was a key chain depicting his beloved Scottish terrier, Fala.

Once America was officially at war, the Treasury Department began promoting and encouraging Americans to purchase defense bonds and stamps. Appropriate for the occasion, the Roosevelts’ Christmas gift to their White House staff was a black leather stamp album. A copy of the previous year’s Christmas speeches by Churchill and the President were given to cabinet members, heads of the executive office, family, and friends.

FDR enjoyed receiving Christmas cards as much as he enjoyed sending them. He established his own private collection of Christmas cards, and by 1940, the collection contained over 3,000 designs. The National Christmas Tree was decorated sans lights that year because electric lights were being rationed while America was at war.

For the 1943 holiday season, it was recommended that the National Community Christmas Tree not be resurrected because of the continuation of war time rationing of electricity and other commodity resources. First Lady Roosevelt insisted that the tree lighting ceremony take place because it was the one thing that Americans needed during the war-causing lackluster holiday season. And so the 20th annual National Community Christmas Tree was decorated with ornaments made by children in local schools, but similar to the year prior, the tree was without lights.

1944 Christmas gift from the President - a copy of his D-Day Prayer

The Roosevelts spent Christmas at their home in Hyde Park again. FDR delivered his Christmas message to the American people and the troops overseas via radio broadcast from his personal library.

In April of 1945, the President left for his retreat in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he sought comfort for his paralysis in the town’s warmed mineral springs. He died on April 12 at the age of 63. Although the war wasn’t over, peace was very near thanks to his efforts.

President Harry S. Truman and First Lady Bess 1945-1953

Harry S. Truman had been Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Vice President for only 82 days before Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945. Just weeks after Truman took over the Executive office as the 33rd President of the United States, the Allied forces defeated the Axis Powers and World War II came to an end. May 8 was declared as V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day), which was also Truman’s 61st birthday. Writing to his mother, he remarked, “Isn’t that some birthday present?” He held a press conference announcing the victories in Germany and Italy and the end of World War II. For Christmas that year, he gave each White House staff member a scroll of his speech from the news conference. He also sent out official White House Christmas cards, which featured a lithograph design of holly and berries along with a standard gold imprint. The back of the envelope was also imprinted in gold with the Presidential Seal.

1948 Christmas gift to the White House Staff invoking the sentiments of the President

For the 1949 Christmas gift to their White House staff (or rather the Blair House staff), the Trumans gave a leather key holder. Each holder contained a snap closure and was imprinted with a brief Christmas greeting. To a small few of the President’s closest executive team members, he gave the same paperweight from the year prior, and to his Cabinet members, he gave the bound book, Selected Speeches and Statements on Foreign Affairs by Harry S. Truman.

I would like to thank the seven neighbors who, in the last six months have found Teddy wandering the streets and WITHOUT JUDGEMENT called me to say, “hey, your sweet little dog found his way to me and can you come pick him up? By the way, my kids looooove him. He’s so cute!”

So, dear neighbors – the woman with the trash yard and three pitbulls, the man with the collie puppies, the woman who waited and hour and a half to call me because Teddy was so cute, the man who sat on the curb for 45 minutes holding Teddy while I drove back from Alhambra – thank you.

Thank you for caring enough for my little crazy dog to take him in until I could bring him home. Whether or not he wants to be here.

Hi Peeps,
If I don’t manage another blog before Xmas then I hope you all have a lovely Chrimbo. Before that, you can catch me headlining The Inn in Bearsden on Dec 22nd, and you can also see me at The Stand in Edinburgh on Dec 23rd. Also, if any of you are or have an in with any literary agents who specialise in pushing clients for TV writing work, then please get in touch. I have a decent whack of Scottish-based radio & TV writing credits, but that doesn’t count for a great deal when it comes to trying to get network TV writing work. Keeping this blog is part of my attempt to show people that I can write to a decent standard consistently so it wouldn’t do any harm to help that process along.

Basically…I’d love to write for Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, QI, 8 out of 10 Cats, etc. I’m just throwing it out there in case the universe can provide

Anyway, some jokes:

I threw a few shapes on the dancefloor. I don’t recommend it. Yogurt’s very slippy.

Got a clog in my sink. Which is weird, because I don’t even know any Dutch people.

Possession is 9/10 of the law. So I told the judge his mother sucks cocks in hell.

Like many people of a certain age, when asked to select a username – I choose Zammo.

Best thing about living in Scotland? Knowing you’re completely safe from heat-seeking missiles.

As Chopin wrote the Funeral March, does that make him one of the great decomposers?

Woke up to find I’d cooked a stir fry during the night. It seems I sleepwok.

Richard Hammond bought 2 new cars for his 40th birthday. A bit like surviving an overdose and treating yourself to an anadin.

Curry’s alright. In small dosas.

I hate ghost trains. Which I suppose makes me a terrorist.

I told the personal trainer I wanted a well defined waist. He told me mine already was. If that definition was “fat”.

Just been watching a programme on the Poles melting. Well, put more accurately, a Polish horror movie.

I keep carrier pigeons. It’s alright though, I make sure they always use condoms.

I’m sure a documentary on Moccasin-making equipment has it’s place, but this isn’t the Last of the Mohicans DVD I ordered.

Just rung the Virgin Media phonesex line. They told me to turn myself on. Then off. Then on again.

When I took acid it felt like my tongue had completely dissolved. Because it had. Wrong acid.

I had a draw on a fag today. But referring the customer in that way did get me sacked from the tattoo parlour.

I was a late developer. Which cost me my job on the photo counter at Boots.

Why are Chinese whispers dangerous? Because they’re often cut with melamine. Sorry, Chinese Wispas.

Russian visa application rejected. I knew I shouldn’t have put “Georgia & Chechnya” where it said ‘Occupation’.

Modric sells Spurs players dummies in training. That’s nothing. Harry sells them 2nd hand cars, DVDplayers, designer gear…

Why do they call Globespan a budget airline when it clearly couldn’t?

Got sacked for cutting corners at work. I worked in the Muller corners factory. I was cutting them with talc.

If you pass these jokes on anywhere, please credit www.comedyteddy.wordpress.com in doing so. I publish these gags up here for free to try to showcase my skills so I don’t think that’s much to ask.

Yesterday, I went to Build A Bear Workshop and I made a super cute creamy cub! It’s sooo adorable and I got it for only £8! I loved stuffing it and warming up the heart.

Cute or what?

I now really love playing Build A Bearville with my furry friend and I give my bear loads of kisses. I love my bear, Alison lol. Now I call it Alice cause my name is Alison and it gets quite confusing.

Commercial break…

Just don’t call him Mohammed… Anyone know what happened to the little chap?  I seem to recall someone telling me he had been released from the Sudanese cupboard where he was locked up…

In last week’s Weekly Poll, a huge majority–nearly 70 percent–thought it was Chuck’s mother in the graveyard. While the votes were a little bit more spread out on the killing of Jasper’s uncle, most of you think Annie did it. The results were much closer on the question of Millie and Mouth’s relationship, where the winning answer (“Who cares? They are so boring!) came out on top by just 7 votes.

Sunday was a good day, a full day.

I slept in and enjoyed the lovely indulgence of not leaving the warm bed until it was light out.  I admired the light blanket of freshly fallen snow outside and turned the Christmas tree lights on.  I pulled on N’s fleece-lined bathrobe and puttered into the kitchen to bake peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses on top, made myself a cup of tea, and then re-read some of a really marvelous historical fantasy about Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare that makes me smile.

I took a long shower and found myself singing “The Little Drummer Boy” as hot water poured down over my head, and then, suddenly, as I reached the second verse, I found myself sobbing and gasping for breath between sobs, my hands splayed flat and desperate against the shower wall as this huge wave of missing slammed into me.  It felt like an ambush but it also felt (in the imortal words of Salt-N-Pepa) very necessary.  I just let myself feel loss, feel pain, feel anger, feel longing, feel the hole in my life that will never be filled.  The noise of the bathroom fan and the running water covered the sounds of my crying, and the privacy was freeing.  The water ran (bless the large hot water heater, I say) until I’d cried myself out, until I was spent and shaky and clean.

I toweled off and carried on with the day.  I shoveled snow, watched television, listened to Christmas music.

This is how it is now.  My days are mostly normal and I am mostly happy and grateful, but Teddy was here and I still miss him sorely, miss him daily.

Jeanette Winterson, in her novel Written on the Body, writes, “The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”

This is how it is now.

Believe it or not, sexy-ness has nothing to do with your body size. It’s all about how you carry yourself and how you feel about yourself. If you are a plus size, however, this may seem to be a bit hard to do so we’ve come up with some tips on how you can be sexy even if you are a plus size:

1. Make sure that you have at least a well-fitting bra and a matching panty. As much as possible, have a separate bra and panty for office work and for flaunting on. Pick a set for the former based on how easily it will allow you to move around. For the latter, pick a set that accentuated your assets. If you are well endowed, go for bras that offer support and highlights your cleavage.
2. Get a pair of hosiery that fits your legs and thighs. Go for black as this color has been proven to provide a slimming effect.



3. If you happen to have the right curves, invest in some good teddies and corsets. These lingerie can help give the form that your body needs.
4. Once you are already comfortable with wearing teddies and corsets, you can move on to buying peek-a-boos and sheer baby dolls. Remember to get one that highlights the right curves. Baby dolls are great for those that have big hips.
5. Now, put on your high heels and flaunt on!

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Maurice in Pittsburgh: What the what? I just read Josh Schwartz’s quote that Jenny and Chuck have something coming up on Gossip Girl. Please tell me Little J is not coming between Blair and Chuck. I’ll die!
Your life is spared. An inside source tells me that Jenny and Chuck don’t really have any big storylines together this season, so I’m assuming Josh meant Jenny will have a big storyline and Chuck will have a big storyline, but they are not the same storyline. Chuck’s story involves the possible surprise return of his believed-to-be-dead mother (and Jack Bass), and Jenny’s involves another couple she comes between…guesses?

Wanda Two Saints: Kristin, are you really not going to tell us who Jenny will be interfering with? That’s low, even for you!
Only because I like old friends with bad glasses, I will reveal that Jenny is going to “get in between Nate and Serena,” according to my rock-solid Gossip Girl source. We likey? We hatey? I’m thinking more of the latter…

Drew in St. Paul, Minn.: Has Serena’s father been cast yet on Gossip Girl?
Not yet. But he’s coming before the season ends.

Holly: How about some news on 90210? I’ll take anything on Dixon…love him.
And apparently he loves to gamble. Or he will, soon. I’m also hearing we will meet Teddy’s movie star father, Spence.

Just want to say we already know about Teddy/Spence (but I forget who first had it) and point out that Brandon on Beverly Hills 90210 also had a gambling problem.
