Jessica Szohr and Taylor Momsen are not returning to Gossip Girl as series regulars next season.

Szohr’s Vanessa and Momsen’s Jenny have had little to do this season and TVLine is reporting both actresses will not return except in possible guest starring episodes.

Blake Lively, Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgely are returning and new addition Kaylee DeFer (Serena’s cousin Charlie) will be a regular for season 5.

Momsen is currently touring and promoting with her band The Pretty Reckless and has said repeatedly she is happier with her music career than acting.

Szohr has several big screen projects coming up including the September comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It with Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Munn.

The 2011 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival brought out Easy A star Penn Badgely for the weekend-long event.

Held in the desert area of Indio, California, Penn sampled the refreshing drinks while hanging with his guy pals and listening to the tunes.

Penn’s TV show, Gossip Girl, finally returns with new episodes on Monday, April 18th and it looks like Chuck (Ed Westwick) just might find out Dan (Badgley) has been the one kissing Blair (Leighton Meester.)

Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley and Blake Lively have called it quits and this has been confirmed by a rep for the now, non-couple.

It’s been over since the middle of last month, but these two being the very private type, have kept it under wraps, and even people on set thought they were still together.

“They’re professionals,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “They’re still good friends and hang out on the set.  Nobody on set had any idea.  They’re really just private.”

Blake Lively Says She Won’t End Up Like Britney Spears

Well, that’s a big bummer that they didn’t last.  I wonder if they just got sick of each other being together, 24/7.  Oh well, they are both young (23) and have lots ahead of them in the future, including many other “fish.”

Penn Badgley was spotted in the West Village with a bag from the ‘Skin Care Lab’. I knew that he was one of those guys that liked to take care of themselves. Those tight shirts on guys are becoming a trend now. Ryan Gosling wears tight shirts like that too. But I think at least Penn can at least shave his face. Or maybe it’s just because we are so used to seeing him so clean cut in Gossip Girl. He just looks different all together here though.

Penn used to be my favorite, but now I like Chace Crawford. And Chace looks hot with stubble on his face.

It’s so nice to see Blake Lively and Penn Badgley out together. We haven’t seen them out and about for a while now.

Last night, Blake and Penn went out for dinner at the Waverly Inn in New York where they met up with producer and industry bigwig Harvey Weinstein to talk about things. And until they decide what’s next for them we can be sure to see them in another season of Gossip Girl since it’s been renewed.

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, co-stars one of my favorite shows Gossip Girl, hit the DirectTV�s 3rd Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl at Progress Energy Park on Saturday in Florida. It looks like they fun playing with 25 other celebrities throwing a football around in preparation for today’s Super Bowl.

This season of Gossip Girl has been exciting and with a new episode on Monday called, Carrnal Knowledge, things will only get better. For now Blake and Penn’s characters are back together, but we all know in the Gossip Girl world things can change in a minute.

I saw this ad on so many sites today that I had to include it here. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley join other young voters in talking to parents about John McCain. They want you to vote for Barack Obama…and just like Blake says…

If you are ever out somewhere and you’re considering voting McCain…just call me, I’ll come pick you up. No questions asked.

So really think about the future…and VOTE!

Blake Lively seems to be really open with her relationship with Penn Badgley now! I used to really like Penn until he started to try to look like he is thirty years old! I am beginning to think Blake should still with her Malti-poo, Penny…(Does anyone see the connection there? Penn and Penny? Freaky!) Who do you think is better for Blake? Penn or Penny?

Spotted in New York yesterday were Blake Lively and Penn Badgley holding onto hands. I am so glad the two of them finally have come out with their relationship. They are super cute together!

Penn has said this about what he thinks about Blake, as his co-star:

“I think she’s incredible,” Badgley said. “She’s an amazing person and she’s beautiful � so there’s not a lot to dislike.”
