To the chagrin of many, and the delight of other, Gossip Girl viewers have seen very little of Jenny Humphrey so far this season.

But that's about to change, as Kevin Zegers is coming on board the show as a love interest for Little J.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor - who has appeared on episodes of House and Smallville - will portray Damien, an "international bad-boy" that falls for Jenny.

No one really knows why.

Next week, even bigger names guest star on Gossip Girl: Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks will both appear on The CW hit.
