Two OLV readers, Ashley and Jackie, went to SilverCup Studio in Long Island City on Jan. 13 in hopes of meeting some of the cast of Gossip Girl and by the end of the night they had met Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, and Blake Lively!
The girls told me, “As soon as we were walking up to the studio around 1 p.m. we ran into Ed on the sidewalk.” They both agreed that he was sweet and was glad to take pictures, he even told them to “have a good day” as he walked away.
Later on (around 8 p.m.), they saw Penn walk out of the building. They said, “He looked very tired and when we asked him about it he said it had been a long day but he still took pics with us both and so nice about it then he went into a black van and left.”
Then, Jessica came out and also agreed to pose for pics. Jackie said, “She seemed a little rushed but was a sweetheart and then she too got into a black van that was waiting for her.”
Next, Chace came out and according to Ashley, “He remembered me from the other day when I met him and he laughed when I told him my friend Jackie was jealous I met him and she made me bring her today and thanked us for waiting out all day and he appreciated it!” Jackie added, “later he came back out out and said ‘bye girls have a good night’ and went into a black van that was waiting for him.”
Finally, Blake came out of the studio at 9:45 p.m. and said hello to the girls and took a pic with them but apparently wasn’t as nice as the rest and would only take one group pic.
Jackie had a few tips for visiting the studio too:
* Be patient! They are inside filming most of the day so chances are you will only see them on their way in or out, on lunch, or if they step outside to smoke or take a call.
* Be quiet and don’t get in anyone’s way. The crew are constantly going in and out of the building and are very busy but they can also be helpful so try not to get on their nerves-besides telling us when they were almost done we also had someone show us what doors were best to stand by and someone let us use a bathroom.
* At the end of the night look for black vans! Each cast member got picked up by a black van. Whenever a black van parked in front of the door it wasn’t long before someone came out to go home.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and experiences. It’s about the 10th time I have heard about Blake not being so nice. Upsets me :(.
So lucky you got to meet and talk to Ed! He was looking super hot that day too! So jealous 😉
yeah the first time we went to try and meet blake was at the snl after party.. it was jackie, her sister, a friend and I and papprizzi and she just posed for them and left. we were scared to ask for a picture but we needed to get the whole cast! haha. but taylor and chase are the sweetest people even ED. but hes chuck bass so he is a little intimanating lol! good luck you will meet them you just need to put in your time!
I totally second on how Blake is, she would only take group shots well most of the time we/I catch her at least.
&Based on experience the casts that are easy to approach are Chace, Ed and Leighton. Chace hands down is the nicest! Little J or what’s her face for me is the worst and Blake ):
Seriously? Taylor is one of the nicest people to meet. I’ve NEVER heard anyone say anything bad after meeting her. In fact, one of my besties has met her and has nothing to say BUT nice things. So, obviously you must have caught her on a bad day.
I have heard Blake is cold and unapproachable on SEVERAL incidents. Another friend of mine had to deal with that TWICE.
Blake may be a bit…. sometimes, but for me it’s nothing like Leighton… Blake has some days where she is the sweetest and I love her but then she is really rude… It depends on her day, but Ms. Meester is as fake as they come.. In my opinion she is very rude and tries to act the good part but she isn’t… but i still love her and her music…
Source: Way more experiences than I would like to admit lol
Did you gals see any of the Sex and the City girls?
GG tipster could you tell us your experiances with Leighton plz?
i was able to meet Penn and Leighton. I caught Penn as he was leaving and asked for a pic. he said he was in a hurry so to make it quick. i tried and accidently snapped it without the flash on. he noticed and said dont you need the flash so i said yes im so sorry and we took another pic and he said it was okay. slightly rushed but otherwise cool
leighton was leaving and i went to ask for a pic but her bodyguard said no pictures now or something like his and leighton said sorry and walked off.
i know an extra on te show however and he said that they are all the nicet people he has met so idk
that’s cool. when did you meet penn and leighton?
Blake is lovely maybe she was just tired, at the ce party i asked her for a pic but as i was by myself i didnt have anybody to take it for me and as i had ky iphone the situation was even worse, so i told this cop of he could take it he said no! Sorry, so blake said dont worry i’ll take it, give me ur phone and she took the picture herself, her agent was rushing her though n she even asked me if i liked the pic….she’s lovely dont get her wrong shes a sweet girl!!!
yeah i second that!, Blake was so nice and sweet when i meet her!, i ask her if i can take a pic with her and she say, yes of course!, and then said good nigth to me!, she was awesome!!
I believe that taylor was rude… After all she refused t donate any money for Haiti, her only excuse being that she’s too busy with her new cd!!!
Oh lucky girls!!!!:)
I’m jelaous too:D You met Ed *_* he looks sooo hot:D
Yeah everyone is wicked nice-esp ed and chace. Its weird to go up to ed bc he’s like chuck bass- hahaha
Oh yes:D a lot of people look at him like he’s always Chuck Bass not Ed xD Was it your first time when you met them? or you’ve met them earlier?:) sorry for asking, but it’s really amazing that you met them, even if it’s easier for people from USA 😀
wow! you are so lucky! i’m going to be in new york in february, please tell me is it worth it for me to go to the studio all day? is there a good chance to see them or is it just good luck? :p
its my dream to meet the gossip girl cast so please let me know!
It really depends who is gonna be on set that day. But if you go to the studio go arond lunch time ed iis always out there and taylor momsen ( jenny) comes out often to smoke so u can just walk up to the am say hi and ask to take pics. We had a great experience going to silver cup ( their studio ) so I would say try that! Good luck, we hope you get to meet everyone 🙂
