The CW is looking for another way to spice up Gossip Girl… and since the show is already smoking hot, they have to go big or go home.

What better way to spice up an already great show than by adding a star with lots of clout?

Duff will not be a regular on the show, but she will be making her appearance. She will be a movie star turned college student who is just trying to make it in the big world on her own. Desperate for a normal experience, she tries to fit in and apparently, she’s trying to get cozy with those on the Upper East Side.

“Duff’s character, named Olivia Burke, enrolls at New York University and becomes roommates with “Gossip Girl” hipster Vanessa, portrayed by Jessica Szohr (ZOR).

Oh, what a tangled web: Burton says Olivia will spark a romance with aspiring novelist Dan, played by Penn Badgley. As fans know, Vanessa used to have eyes for Dan — then they dated other people.”

Season 3 of Gossip Girl premieres on September 14th, as the GGers prepare to begin their new experiences in college, and presumably, the same mysterious gossip will follow them on their new adventure.
