I’ve been anxiously awaiting the return of my favorite guilty pleasure… possibly my guiltiest of all time. Yes, I’m talking about the second half of season 4 of "Gossip Girl." I’m talking Blair on Dan, Serena on anyone and Chuck on everyone else.

So far this season there have been many bizarre encounters, the biggest of which landed Blair Waldorf’s pouty lips squarely on Dan Humphrey’s… something even "Gossip Girl" herself couldn’t have seen coming.

Beneath the latex and facial horns, Lady Gaga is no different than anyone’s godmother.

She’s tolerant and upholds inclusiveness (not to mention, rocks Kermit the Frog like a pro), which is why Elton John and his partner David Furnish decided to grant her the honorary title for their new little monster Zachary.

Elton joked about the decision during his ‘Saturday Night Live’ appearance last weekend.
