Gossip Girl Spoilers: Serena, Meet Anne Hathaway
No, S won't meet the Oscar-nominated actress in person - no guest appearance by the talented and beautiful Anne Hathaway is planned this spring.
Her life has inspired an upcoming Gossip Girl plot, however!
The show is planning a season-ending story loosely inspired by the actress' infamous romance with Raffaello Follieri, a handsome Italian businessman who was convicted October on 14 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy.
On Gossip Girl, Blake Lively's Serena will play the unsuspecting ingenue who falls for a handsome European socialite - in this case a hunk named Giorgio.
No word on if Giorgio is the same character as Gabriel, only renamed, or if they are different characters entirely. We'd guess the former, as the character description below is awfully similar to the way Gabriel has been portrayed in previous reports.
Will Blake Lively's Serena van der Woodsen (left) find herself in twisted relationship similar to that of Anne Hathaway and her now-imprisoned ex, Raffaello Follieri?
Although she won't confirm or deny the story's Anne Hathaway-esque twists, Gossip Girl executive producer Stephanie Savage reveals this about Serena's beau:
"He's well-traveled, part of the global elite. Not a brooding artist like Dan or Aaron Rose. He's definitely a grown-up, and that's something Serena is attracted to."
Word is that Gossip Girl's version of the story will take a turn that is so much darker than the Hathaway saga that it ultimately puts Serena's life in danger.
Moreover, this is what triggers the return of Michelle Trachtenberg’s Georgina Sparks and casts our heroine's sworn enemy in the unlikely role of savior.

I wish Serena could find some stable kind of boif for once. (Preferably one in which her mother won't go interacting with his dad.)
Anyways would it not be great if g.g got some kind of guitar-playing blondie, whos passionate and musical- i think it would be wonderful to have a new hottie on the scene, and could the writers try not to have him related to one of the existing characters? They always do that on g.g which is a little weird...i.e Aaron Rose and Blair, Chuck nd Serena, now Dan and Serena, all thats left is for Lily to lunge at Eleanor.. Mmmm... it would definitely add a new twist!

yes, i think Dan and Blair will help Serena too with G. its interesting that they put serena with every wrong young in the world. and Dan will always be there for her. and Dan, he should get a real GF and not a stupid scandal like Rachel.

If she will be together with Dan at the end, that will be interesting
