AH!

AH! I got a text last night with AMAZING news! My favorite celebrity is going to be playing the lead role of my favorite shows' spinoff. Brittany Snow is playing old school Lily!! I think that fabulous news calls for an American Dreams marathon, a three season marathon. Oh, meg Pryor I adore you and little Lily you are soon to be a favorite of mine as well!

Hairspray star Brittany Snow has been cast to play teenage Lily van der Woodsen on an upcoming spinoff of The CW’s popular teen drama Gossip Girl.
The new show will chronicle Lily’s young adulthood in 1980s Los Angeles.
“Brittany is thrilled,” a friend of the actress reveals in the March 9 edition of Star. “She loves the original show and thinks the 1980’s concept sets the spin-off apart from other series on television. She can’t wait to wear all the fabulous outfits and really sink her teeth into the role.”
“Brittany always thought she was going to continue her career in films, bithis is a marvelous part and she just couldn’t say no. This has the potential to be a huge show in the tradition of Melrose Place.”
Brittany, who played Meg Pryor on the now defunct NBC series American Dreams, was the top choice for show producers, who made the 22-year-old star an offer she couldn’t refuse in early February.
She didn’t even have to audition for the part.
The pilot of the spinoff will air on the May 11 episode of Gossip Girl.

That's awesome!
I think she's a adorable girl and a really good actress.
Don't know if I'll watch it (I barely watch Gossip Girl--I'm more of a crime drama girl LOL) but it should be good--and something different. :-)

how did I not hear about the spinoff?

Pink Maple said...

I had read recently that she was a possibility for the role - she will make a perfect young Lily. I'm glad they decided to choose an established actress to play the part because I really want the spin-off to be great (and stay on! all my favorite shows get canceled!).

I loved American Dreams also. So sad when it ended - so abruptly and with such an ending that I did not love... what about her with dark hair - she is still darling!

GraceKelly said...

Thanks for the update! I knew there was going to be a Lily spinoff but didn't know any casting decisions. I love Gossip Girl and can't wait for this! I always root for Lily and Rufus.

Julie said...

I adored American Dreams... I wish they would put out all of the seasons on DVD! I'll definitely check out this show now that she is the star!

PoshMomma said...

She DOES resemble Kelly Rutherford!!The fact that she didn't have to audition for such a part speaks volumes about what the industry thinks of her. This young lady is a star on the rise! Thanks for the GG info. "XOXO"
