Latest Gossip From Around the World
Last night's Teen Choice Awards brought out plenty of handsome men onto the blue carpet in LA. The guys of Glee, like Cory Monteith and Mark Salling, arrived ready to host the show, while Chace Crawford was there representing Gossip Girl. Joshua Jackson looked dapper in a suit and tie - click through to see who else struck a pose and don't forget to vote on some of these guys more stripped down in our shirtless bracket!

Chace Crawford shaded his eyes behind a pair of aviators on the set of Gossip Girl yesterday in NYC. The actor made the most of his Summer hiatus from the show, hitting up men's fashion week in Milan, partying with Glee's Matthew Morrison in London, and relaxing with his sister and Tony Romo in Mexico. Even though he's back working on his show, he's still focused on his big-screen adventures. He recently celebrated the premiere of his movie Twelve with his GG costars and landed a role in the upcoming indie flick Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding. At the moment, Chace is also in one of the hottest matchups of our Shirtless Bracket, taking on Miley Cyrus's boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, in round one.

Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr, and Chace Crawford got to work on the next season of Gossip Girl in NYC this morning. Blake Lively joined her costars on set, ready to film despite just getting off a flight from California. She spent her weekend in San Diego promoting Green Lantern with her hot costar Ryan Reynolds at Comic-Con - Blake and Ryan shared about their awesome-looking blockbuster, but you were underwhelmed by her choice of outfit. Chace spent most of his day alongside Katie Cassidy, who's guest-starring on a few episodes after logging a good chunk of her Summer in Europe with Leighton shooting Monte Carlo.

Last Friday, the cops in Plano, Texas caught themselves one of the most horrible crimals in the country - Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford. The crime? Chace had one joint on him. He wasn’t smoking it or anything, he just had a joint in his pocket (Chace’s story: there was a joint in the car that he was sitting in). The cops arrested him and hauled his pretty-boy ass in, so now we have this skuzzy-yet-pretty mug shot. I think Chace is about to throw up a gang sign! *Clutches pearls* Anyway, today, Friday the 11th, Texas formally charged Chace with one misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana. Guess what kind of sentence comes with one misdeamenor possession charge in Texas? Six f-cking months at most. Can you believe that?
Chace Crawford was charged on Friday with a misdemeanor charge of pot possession, TMZ reports. The 24-year-old Gossip Girl star could face up to six months behind bars.
Crawford was busted with a pal in a car parked outside a pub in his hometown of Plano, Texas on June 4; police discovered an unlit marijuana joint.
“He is pissed,” an insider told Us Weekly immediately after the arrest. “He wasn’t smoking, the pot was in the car and it was his friend’s.”
Yet an old frat brother of the actor’s from Pepperdine University says the star indulged back in the day. “In college, we use to cut class and go lie on the beach and smoke weed,” the pal says. “It sucks that he got arrested!”

Meanwhile, Lindsay is doing lines of cocaine mixed with Ritalin and Adderall in between shots of Stoli and tweeting her ass off on probation. And Chris Brown is off somewhere, coloring in his map of the country of Europe. Honestly, if Chace was charged in another state, I think he would get away with probation or some minor jail time, if he was charged at all. But it’s Texas - something tells me that some prosecutor somewhere in Plano is thinking about “making an example.” I never thought I’d say this, but I feel for Chace, and this whole incident does make me like him a lot more. Poor kid! And before anyone cries double-standard, look - Chace isn’t some crackhead like Lohan. Before this incident, I thought he was totally vanilla and goody-two-shoes. And it really does seem like he truly wasn’t doing anything. Eh.
If I was to place a bet on which young Hollywood star was going to be arrested for possession, Chace Crawford wouldn’t have even made my top ten list. Kristen Stewart would have been number one, actually - you know it’s just a matter of time before the police come knocking on her door. But Chace? Mister I’m-A-Perfect-Texas-Gentleman? Eh. Of course there were signs that he was a bit more hardcore in real life. He and Ed Westwick were roommates for several years. And Chace dated Shauna Sand. That should prove he’s capable of anything:
Busted. Chace Crawford was arrested early Friday in Plano, Tex. for marijuana possession, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
The Gossip Girl actor, 24, was cuffed just past midnight in a Nissan parked outside Ringo’s Pub, carrying less than two ounces of the drug.
TMZ reports that the star — a native Texan who now lives in NYC — was with a friend when cops discovered one unlit marijuana joint.
Bail was quickly posted for Crawford on his misdemeanor charge.
Crawford’s rep had no comment on the incident.
Ironically, Crawford plays a drug dealer named White Mike in the upcoming film Twelve, in theaters July 2.

One joint? POTHEAD! Seriously, one motherf-cking joint? That’s kind of sad that he got busted. Maybe it’s a Texas thing - hardcore cops who will bust a guy over one joint - and he wasn’t even smoking it, it was just in his pocket or his car or whatever. I’m also shocked it’s a misdemeanor - but that’s just my view of Texas. In my mind, they throw you in jail forever over something like one joint. Long-term, though, the pot bust might even help Chace’s image. It gives the pretty boy a sense of danger.
