Gossip Girl fan sites and celebrity news blogs have been abuzz that a male, gay character on the CW show will be revealed.

Well, star Kelly Rutherford (Lily van der Woodsen) — who plays the mother of Serena (Blake Lively) and Eric (Connor Paolo) — accidentally let that Gossip Girl cat out of its bag in an interview. It's Eric!

Kelly Rutherford ends any doubt about this Gossip Girl spoiler.

She let it slip to Us Weekly at a Sylvania event in New York City that it's "her son" (as unanimously predicted in our Round Table) who comes out of the closet - and that the story line is "very well done."

How do you think it will be revealed?
