A couple of brief Gossip Girl spoilers from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos today ...

Q: Anything new on Gossip Girl?

A: The Gossip Girl producers are currently casting for a sexy jet-setter with an accent. The character, Gabriel Serrano, will be either South American, Australian or a continental European (see the video we posted of an actor auditioning).

Gabriel in his 20s, so he's probably meant to be a love interest for Blair Waldorf, Vanessa Abrams or Serena van der Woodsen, but I'm secretly rooting they age him down a little so Jenny Humphrey can have a little fun for once.

Q: What's coming up on Gossip Girl? This season has been amazing so far!

A: As if a long-lost sibling and declining admission to Yale isn't enough, Serena's socialite gal-pal Poppy Lifton is coming back to make her life even more difficult. I'm guessing another feature in Women's Wear Daily is not on her to-do list?

Also, Rufus is going to run into some money problems soon, but with Lily van der Woodsen by his side, that shouldn't be too big of an issue, right? She could easily take care of those with a small loan from her Bass Industries inheritance!
