Spolier...or not

One publication believes that their source has revealed the hidden identity of the title character on "Gossip Girl."

Ben Widdicombe of the "Daily News" alleges to have a source who claims that there is a deep feud on set, and that the true identity of "Gossip Girl" will be revealed as Eric van der Woodsen.

The mysterious blogger "Gossip Girl" is the queen of all gossip, and her site is a must-read for the most fashionable teens in New York City's Upper East Side. She knows everything that goes on, but none of the characters on "Gossip Girl" know how she does it.

In response to the report from the "Daily News," the "New York Magazine" blog "Daily Intelligencer" took the report and explains why this spoiler isn't feasible.

Among the reasons "New York Magazine" believes this rumour is false is because in the original book series, the identity of Gossip Girl is never revealed.

"New York Magazine" also says that at the beginning of episode one, Gossip Girl blogged that Serena was spotted in Grand Central Station - while at the time of the spotting Eric was in a mental institution because he attempted suicide. Presumably, Eric would not have the kind of high-tech gadgetry and internet access that the real Gossip Girl would have while wearing a straight jacket.

The character of Gossip Girl is currently voiced by actress Kristen Bell, who could theoretically appear on the series as the titular narrator, but no plans seem to be in place at the moment.

Perhaps producers are leaving that surprise for season two.

"Gossip Girl" airs Tuesday nights on CTV. Check listings for broadcast details.
