As the TCA rages on in LA, we had the opportunity to catch up with Ed Westwick at the cocktail party celebrating CBS, The CW, and Showtime. The actor better known as Chuck Bass had plenty to say about his new Gossip Girl costars, filming in Paris, and why Chuck is about to lose his signature swagger. He even had a few kind words to say about Kristen Stewart and the role he'd like to play opposite Robert Pattinson. Check it out.

PopSugar: When you read the season finale script and saw that you were going to get shot . . . were you nervous?
Ed Westwick: I thought it was a great way to finish the show. Everything kind of spiraled out of control, Chuck's world was falling apart, and it can't get any worse. It was kind of like I got stabbed in the back. But it picks up, new season, I'm in Paris.

PS: How was that?
Ed: Wicked. We had a really good time shooting there. The scenes are cool, it's in the first two episodes. And then he's trying to be a new man, Chuck Bass. He's trying to reinvent himself.

PS: Is there a fun new dynamic with the new characters on the show?
Ed: Yeah, to a degree. Chuck Bass is so alienated himself, he's kind of got to rebuild bridges all over the place. But it was cool. There's a lovely new actress involved, actually, a couple of lovely new actresses involved. It will be great. I'm looking forward to seeing how people actually perceive it.

PS: One of my favorite things about the show is all the Chuck Bass one-liners. Do you get to ad lib that at all?
Ed: No, no. I'm not witty enough for that. They're really fun, aren't they? The character is still a lot of fun to play, and he's really interesting to me after everything that's happened at the end of the third season. It's gonna be a cool direction to go in.

PS: Is it fun getting to wear all the Chuck Bass suits?
Ed: It's like wearing a uniform to work. It's cool, but it's a little uncomfortable in summertime heat.

PS: In a recent interview, you mentioned that Kristen Stewart isn't your type.
Ed: I don't know why that all went crazy! I'd love to clear that up. I think she's a great, great, great girl, who's gorgeous and talented, and I don't know what the hell happened. Clear that up for me, please!

PS: Maybe you need to get her on Gossip Girl.
Ed: She's not going to do that.

PS: Gossip Girl's hot! We all love it.
Ed: Maybe if I had vampire teeth.

PS: Maybe you need to play a vampire with that other hot Brit.
Ed: We should play brothers. Me and Rob Pattinson should play brothers.

PS: In Breaking Dawn?
Ed: Is that the next one? I'll put the call in. Let's do it.

PS: You mentioned we're going to see another side of Chuck Bass next season; what's going to be different about him?
Ed: As I said, after what happened at the end of the last season, his whole world kind of fell apart so you knew it. There's a lot of self-blame there. When that happens, you're going to look at yourself, and try to build a new person.

PS: Is he going to lose some of his Chuck Bass swagger?
Ed: I think maybe he does. Maybe he does a little. Maybe it's the swagger that brought him the trouble, but who knows? Maybe it'll come back, you know?

PS: Do you think it's only a matter of time before Chuck and Blair get back together?
Ed: I don't know. They're two characters who seem like they're cut from the same cloth. Maybe it's inevitable. Star-crossed lovers.

PS: Do you like getting to work with new love interests for Chuck?
Ed: Yeah, Clemence [Poesy] is fantastic to work with right now. She's amazing. So it's an absolute privilege to work with someone like that every day. Yeah, it's great right now.

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.

A few members of the Gossip Girl gang reunited in Paris over the weekend to start shooting their fourth season! Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were together yesterday, showing off a range of fun costumes as they walked through the city. Leighton was conveniently already in France, where she worked on Monte Carlo with Selena Gomez and Katie Cassidy - Katie will actually be back with Leighton soon to film cameo on the CW series. Leighton also had time to break from her movie set for a possibly romantic stroll around the city with Australian actor Luke Bracy.

Blake is back to focusing on her small screen series after spending her hiatus working on Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds in New Orleans. She was in bright blue pants today to greet Ed Westwick, who's now in Europe following his stint in Australia promoting Virgin and talking about his taste in women. He didn't share time in front of the camera with Leighton, but Ed did make the rounds with their brand new costar Clemence Poesy - the French actress is apparently playing Chuck Bass's new lady love.

Nina Dobrev joined her handsome Vampire Diaries costars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley last night at the closing ceremony for the Monte Carlo Television Festival. Since arriving in France, the trio have been busy promoting their series and addressing the ways in which their show is connected to Twilight and True Blood. Jane Lynch, Kevin McHale, and Jenna Ushkowitz from Glee also hit the red carpet along with Cougar Town's Busy Philipps and The Mentalist's Simon Baker. Jenna and Kevin left Jane at their hotel this morning, though, when they hit the beach for a rather cozy-looking swim. Simon had a similar idea, bringing his family along for a day of soaking up the sun in the South of France.
