“Gossip Girl” in Central Park

Hard at work on their hit CW series, the stars of “Gossip Girl” were busy filming scenes in Central Park in Midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon (October 5).

As Blake Lively and Chace Crawford teamed up to film at an ice cream stand, their co-stars Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester strolled through the scenic setting as cameras rolled.

Meanwhile, you can catch an all-new “Gossip Girl” episode titled “Dan de Fleurette” when it airs tonight at 9/8C on The CW.

A synopsis via the show’s Web site tells: “It’s the first day of school at Constance Billard which means it’s also time for Jenny to take her rightful place as the new Queen Bee. Unfortunately for Jenny, Blair is more than happy to intervene when news reaches her that she may be needed back at Constance. Meanwhile, Lily returns home to Rufus and her family to find that things are definitely not as she left them. Plus, a famous movie actress, Olivia Burke (recurring guest star Hilary Duff), enrolls at NYU in hopes of having a somewhat normal college experience, and is assigned to be Vanessa’s roommate. Guest star Tyra Banks appears as Ursula, an actress co-starring in Olivia’s movie and someone who Serena befriends.”
