Hey Gossip Girl fans!

Marmot and Manatee Here.

Marmot: HEARD: Line of the year - Lost Josh Hartnett asks Jon Mayer if he's going to the opera. Jon Mayer says he is. Lost Josh Hartnett: "Yeah, I might go too." Not a pep rally, or someone's house party. The opera. Hilarious.

Manatee: CALLING IT NOW: Jon Mayer (aka Dan) is going to hook up with that thirteen year old English teacher. You could tell the second she appeared on the scene.
Maybe they could go to the opera together.

Marmot: GUESSING: The actress that plays the new English teacher is younger than the actors who play her students

Manatee: OMG, we need to research that stat. I think you are right. Research is in: We're wrong - Serena - 8/25/87; Blair - 4/9/86; Dan - 11/1/86; Nate - 7/18/85; Little J - 7/26/93 (Do you feel old yet?)

Marmot: Yes. Very

Manatee: Chuck - 6/27/87; Teacher - 8/22/83

Marmot: So she's 3 years older than the students she's pretending to be the teacher of so if they're all 22 playing 17, that would mean she's 25 playing...20? A 20 year old high school teacher?

Manatee: Yup. OMG! You know what we are forgetting to discuss here? WORST IDEA EVER BY A STUDIO EXECUTIVE: Lily and Rufus: Flashback to the 80s.

Marmot: I can't believe they're giving Lily a flashback spinoff.

Manatee: Tell me about it. They must be desperate.

Marmot: Let's do the math here...how old are 29 Year Old Dad and the Hot Mom? 40?

Manatee: I think I guessed about 39 per the show math with the 19 year old adopted (fake dead) son.

Marmot: So the spinoff is going to be Lily as a teenager out on the Sunset Strip, so about 22 years ago, or 1987. This is going to be awesome.

Manatee: Why?! Who will want to watch this? If we were teenagers now watching GG, would we want to tune in to see the 80s Bret Easton Ellis style?

Marmot: That is true. But as, um, animals in our, uh...mid? 20s? Sure, mid 20s - I want to see Lily sleep her way through Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, Whitesnake, Def Leppard...you get the point.

Manatee: When will our TV viewing eyes be blessed with this little spinoff?

Marmot: Hopefully the fall...but there's a rumor going around that we're going to see a flashback episode this season.

Manatee: I can't wait.

Marmot: What I was really hoping for was a flashback with Rufus to his salad days of the early 90s. How awesome would a Buffalo Tom cameo be on GG? (ED Note - Buffalo Tom guest starred on My So-Called Life almost 15 years ago and it was amazing)

Manatee: My So Called Life was 15 years ago?

Marmot: (ED Note 2 - Buffalo Tom was a Boston-based alternative rock band that was around in the 90s. They had a moderate hit with "Sodajerk". Check it out, it's well worth it) August of 1994. Nearly 15 yea - OMG FIFTEEN YEARS?!?!?!

Manatee: I think M & M need to have a little party this August to celebrate the anniversary.

Stick with us here. Until next Monday!

XOXO,

Marmot & Manatee
