Gossip Girl Storyline scoop!

FYI... If you happen to be in New York City Jan. 15, go check out HGTV's makeover of Vanderbuilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal, located on the east side of midtown Manhattan. Complete with blue skies, hot air balloons and grapevines, it's a sneak peek of of the 2009 HGTV Dream Home in Sonoma, Calif. Yep, this is definitely my year to win! HGTV designers Kim Myles, John Gidding and Monica Pedersen will be on hand giving out free design consultations as well! 

Spoiler: Don’t read if you haven’t seen Monday night's episode of Gossip Girl!?

Could someone already on the saucy series’ canvas be Rufus and Lily’s illegitimate love child?

After traveling to Boston, the couple was told their son was dead, but in reality, his adoptive parents just wanted to protect themselves from losing him to the rich people’s money, lawyers and power. (Obviously, they’ve never been to the Humphrey loft!)

Sounds like no-brainer casting coop in-the-making, but not so fast.

According to Connor Paolo, who plays Lily’s son Eric, “There are things you have yet to find out about the illegitimate child, which may or may not affect with casting,” he revealed at the Oxygen media launch party for their syndication of America’s Next Top Model in New York City’s Gotham Hall.

I pressed further. So is it someone we already know?

“I don’t know, maybe it’s me,” Connor teased. “Though I would need to be about 10 years older.”

Well, just like Gossip Girl herself, I’m going to stay on this case until it’s solved. XOXO fellow fanatics!

Catch Gossip Girl, Mondays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

America's Next Top Model premieres Sunday, Jan. 18 at 11 a.m. on Oxygen.
