Irony, thy name is Gossip Girl. And Allison Mack.

So, I just read that the CW website is no longer allowing fans of the show to watch GOSSIP GIRL( of which, yes, I'll admit I am a fan), online. Apparently, one could've watched the show via the www legally, rather than watching it on ye ol' television. A lot of shows are doing this, and I suppose it's the way of the future, but not the future of Gossip Girl. It seems as though the network is caving into pressure from online advertisers, and thus pulling any programs from the GG website.

This scenario is doused in irony, as the driving force of the show's narrative is the online ramblings of a blogger, and her effect on the social network of these Manhattan socialite type "teens".

Is this big news? Probably not as big as the news that Arthur Dela Cruz admits to being a Gossip Girl fan.

Now, I've never watched Smallville, and don't really know who Allison Mack is. Though I once consumed drinks next to her at a comic book convention party, which I guess isn't an event really worth mentioning. Nevertheless, I did notice that she's doing something kinda cool with her youtube account.

She seems to ask fans for input, whether it be art, a video, some writing or whatever, calling them "challenges", and then responds to them. I think. I just watched one post, and I think it's pretty awesome. Currently, she's asking fans to act out their favorite scene from a book/movie what have you, and submit a video of the scene. She says she'll do one in return.

I think this is very cool, and had I tons of adoring fans, I would totally do something similar.
