My fondness for this actor is well documented on this blog, but now GQ agrees that Darren Criss is among the most dapper men on TV. The Glee breakout star joins a list of 25 performers for GQ's June issue, including American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick, and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard. Also in the issue are a dozen adorable pictures of Criss for the magazine's Summer Wedding Primer shoot. Criss also talks about his sudden rise to fame:

"It's all very relaxing," [Criss] says. "You get a trailer on-set. You get treated really well." To keep it that way, Criss has devised a way to get around incognito: "I don't shave when I'm not working."

There will be two huge exits on Gossip Girl! According to TV Line, both Taylor Momsen (Jenny) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) will not be returning as series regulars for the fifth season of the CW's guilty pleasure. The girls have been invited back as guest stars. Both actresses have seen their characters reduced in screen time and storylines recently. Momsen in particular has reportedly been difficult on set, and has also made it clear that she would prefer to focus on a music career. Meanwhile, the five primary cast members -- Blake Lively (Serena), Leighton Meester (Blair), Chace Crawford (Nate), Penn Badgley (Dan) and Ed Westwick (Chuck) are all slated to return as series regulars.

Would Gossip Girl be the same without Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick)? According to Westwick himself, he's "ready to do something else" and leave Chuck Bass behind. The actor sat down with Tatler magazine from his native UK, and stated he no longer feels connected to his character on the popular teen soap. As we teen soap fans have come accustomed to departing actors, will Westwick be the first to go? Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) only has two years left on the Upper East Side and a promising movie career ahead of her with The Roommate (2011) hitting screens this weekend. The actress also alluded to departing the show while promoting Country Strong.

According to Zap2it, I missed Gossip Girl’s hottest scene ever, when Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) embarked on a little angry hate sex on a grand piano! Looks like I'll be rushing to my overworked DVR to catch up on the must watch “War at the Roses” episode now! 

The always subtle pair then officially negated their peace treaty just like all civilized countries do: By having angry, hate sex on a grand piano (Is the piano the new limo?) And holy hotness, Batman! Hands down, the raciest scene in "Gossip Girl" history. When Chuck pulled off Blair's underwear... Yeah, we have no words to adequately describe this scene other than ridiculously sexy.

While I’m basking in Chuck and Blair’s short-lived reunion and the fallout that will come with it, re-live last night’s Gossip Girl at Zap2it.
