The b!tch is back and more powerful than ever.

That's what Gossip Girl executive producer Josh Schwartz promises for the coming season. As we know, Blair Waldorf was thrown off her game a bit in Season Three, but like any good Queen, she will rise again - and Greater Manhattan had better watch out!

"Blair at NYU was like throwing a fish far, far out of water," says Schwartz. "I think [this season] you'll see Blair with her power back, with her swagger back, back in her game."

Queen B shall rise again in Season Four of Gossip Girl.

Fans will surely approve, as Leighton Meester's character is at her best when she's in her element as a virtual empress. But when you talk about B, there's always ... well, Chuck.

Ms. Waldorf is "still troubled by thoughts of Mr. Bass," Josh adds. "The Chuck/Blair relationship - whether they're together or not - will always be a huge drive to the show emotionally."
