Not Interested to join the cast of Don't Care

From the further annals of "Good God Nothing Is Going On This Week" comes a thoroughly underwhelming bit of casting news. Hilary Duff, who you might remember as the 11th most famous late-teen/early-twenty-something actress/singer/annoying attention whore to come out during the late 1990s/early 2000s when those sorts of people were all the rage is joining the cast of Gossip Girl, which you might remember as that show which sucks. From Ausiello:

The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it's safe to say she'll be majoring in Drama!

Duff will debut in this season's fourth episode, slated to air Oct. 5.

Gossip producers spotted an opening in Duff's schedule after NBC passed on her comedy pilot Barely Legal.

Really? Olivia Burke? If you were to ask me, a heterosexual male who has never seen a single minute of Gossip Girl, to guess what the creators of this show would name a character, my first guess would be Olivia Burke. That's possibly the most generic "bitch" name of all time, I'm amazed they didn't already have a character named that. Apparently they were saving it for a "big get" like Hilary Duff. Smooth operating, creators of this terrible CW show, smooth operating. Now back to your regularly scheduled boredom.

Girl you haven't heard of will give you forbidden foot pleasures

I'm not sure who Leighton Meester is other than the fact that she's on Gossip Girl - the girls I stalk seem to talk about that show all the time. I'm guessing if you're of the male persuasion you didn't much care either until this morning when it came out that she has a sex tape. Hey celebrities, stop filming yourself having sex. And by stop I mean keep at it. From *shudder* TMZ:

Spotted ... "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester having sex with her BF... on video.

We've learned a Meester tape is being shopped around town. It was shot a few years back, and shows Leighton in mostly innocuous though nude scenes -- with several big exceptions ... one involving her very talented feet.

We're told a company called celebhotline.com is negotiating for the video. The company's spokesperson, Kevin Blatt told us, "We've seen the tape and we're hoping to close the deal."

I've always wondered what it meant when people say "shopped around town". I'm assuming the town is Los Angeles, because that's where these people tend to live, but are there actual shops for this? Or is it just an expression and I've wasted the last fifteen seconds of my life? Anyway, apparently if you're good Leighton Meester will give you a footy (or does that mean soccer?). The tape has already been sold, so if you're perving a dish, WWTDD has (NSFW) photos. Enjoy the rest of your day, sickos.
