So what does it take to get the stars from “Twilight,” “High School Musical,” and “Gossip Girl” (just to name a few) to join up on the screen? A really worthy cause. Hollywood’s youngest heavy hitters, including “GG” stars Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr, as well as Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, recently got together for “Coming Together as ONE,” a public service announcement sponsored by the advocacy group ONE, to flight global poverty and preventable disease — specifically in Africa.

The goal of the campaign is to recruit more young people in the battle against poverty. “In the last election, and over the course of history, young people have shown that when we get organized and committed, we are powerful. The fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease in poor countries needs our support, our energy and our commitment,” Ashley told ONE.

Directed by Jesse Dylan (he’s the same guy who won an Emmy for Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” campaign video), the PSA will air on The CW on Wednesday night. Although, if you want to get a sneak peak, you can check out the video (it launched on the eve of World Aids Day) on ONE’s Web site now.

The 60-second clip also features “Heroes” actress Hayden Panettiere, “New Moon” vamps Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone, “90210″ co-ed Tristan Wilds, “High School Musical” actor Corbin Bleu, John Cho and Brandon T. Jackson.

Happy Monday, Upper East Siders. We hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. As a special, post-holiday treat, you get to watch a Gossip Girl Thanksgiving tonight!

Obviously, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without drama, as Blair learns when she suspects suspects her mom, Eleanor, has been keeping a big secret from her.

Meanwhile, a big fight with her folks leads Vanessa running to Dan’s doorstep, where Rufus learns that Lily has been lying to him about her mother, Cece.

Jenny learns that Eric was behind her embarrassment at Cotillion and can’t pass up a chance to get even, and Serena’s affair with Tripp is exposed.

Sounds like a lot of action ahead!

What do you think and hope will happen on Gossip Girl tonight?

We’ve seen a bunch of sneak previews and promos, browsed through a photo gallery and read spoilers galore. All that’s left to do is to watch and discuss!

Gossip Girl Forum: "Treasure of Serena Madre"

After a week’s break during the Thanksgiving holidays, Gossip Girl is back Monday with an all new episode, 3.11 “The Treasure of Serena Madre” at 9 p.m ET/PT on The CW.

On the Upper East Side, its Thanksgiving, and what would a family gathering be without drama and secrets?

Here’s the official episode description below:

It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side if there wasn’t a serving or two of some major drama for the holiday. Blair (Leighton Meester) suspects her mom (guest star Margaret Colin) has been keeping a big secret from her, but it turns out to be something else entirely.

Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) is supposed to spend Thanksgiving with her parents, but has a fight with her mom (guest star Gina Torres) and shows up on Dan’s (Penn Badgley) doorstep.

Rufus (Matthew Settle) learns that Lily (Kelly Rutherford) has been lying to him about her mother, Cece (guest star Caroline Lagerfelt).

Chuck (Ed Westwick) tells Nate (Chace Crawford) that he has some potentially damaging information about one of their friends.

Jenny (Taylor Momsen) learns that Eric (Connor Paolo) was behind her very public embarrassment at Cotillion and can’t pass up a chance to get even.

Serena (Blake Lively) is put in a very awkward position when her mother invites Trip (guest star Aaron Tveit) and Maureen (guest star Holley Fain) to join them for Thanksgiving dinner.

My thoughts on Monday’s episode: Blair’s mom is pregnant, I think. Serena is going to discover her father’s letter to her Lily.

Be sure to join me for a live blog of the episode at 9 p.m. ET/PT right here at Gossip Girl Report.

Here’s a cool Gossip Girl fan video that features Lady Gaga’s song “Fashion.”

Sammie392 did a great job mixing the words of the song with the show, and really bringing out the scenes that show the fashion on Gossip Girl. You can especially see how much Jenny seems to love fashion in this video.

Plus, I thought this video was cool because Lady Gaga made a recent guest appearance on Gossip Girl.
