OMFG there’s a new blonde joining the upper east side! Hilary Duff will be joining Gossip Girl for a multi-episode guest arc when the teen dramedy returns to The CW for a third season this fall.
The 21-year-old singer/actress will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. As fate would have it she ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).
In case you forgot also accepted at NYU was Queen B, Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgley) so it’s safe to assume that the gossip girls and boy will be be minoring in Drama as well. E! also reports that Olivia will be the new love interest for Dan (Penn Badgley). Watch out S it seems like there’s a new blonde in town.
Hilary Duff is scheduled to debut in this season’s fourth episode, slated to air on Monday, October 5th on The CW.
