Gossip Girl Episode Stills: "How to Succeed in Bassness"

Below is a photo gallery from next week's all-new episode of Gossip Girl, "How to Succeed in Bassness," in which the Bassnessman himself opens up his new hotel bar.

He doesn't want Blair anywhere near it, either, after the whole charade last week. What Chuck does want is for Serena to get the celebrity word out about the opening.

Meanwhile, J is forced to choose, at least to a certain extent, whether being friends with Eric and Jonathan is more important than being Queen. We think they'll lose.
