Gossip Girl Lands a Cougar

Madchen Amick (pronounced Madchen Amick) is coming back to New York. The "Twin Peaks" star, who played Carrie Fairchild for 21 episodes on the short-lived "Melrose Place" knock-off "Central Park West," is joining the cast of "Gossip Girl." She'll play an older woman to Chace Crawford’s younger man when the show returns on September 1st. We hope Ms. Amick knows what she’s getting herself into: paparazzi stalking you in SoHo, screaming girls waiting outside your trailer, and rumored romances with Carrie Underwood.
