Chace Crawford

Lauren Conrad leaving Tru nightclub in West Hollywood (10/17)

I know what you're thinking: Who hooked up with Chace Crawford? Chace is pretty cool (he got caught with a joint last year in Texas and was lucky they didn't execute him), but Lauren might be the most boring celebrity in Hollywood. I'm still not quite sure why she's famous (I'm pretty sure she scammed the Make-A-Wish Foundation to star on The Hills). From Us Weekly:

Lauren Conrad recently split with Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough, but she’s not wasting any time moving on to her next guy. A source tells Us Weekly that Conrad was spotted "making out" with Chace Crawford on Oct. 29.

Conrad and the Gossip Girl star kicked off their night of flirting at an L.A. nightclub and later connected at a party at actor Shawn Pyfrom's house.

"There's always been an attraction between them," an insider tells Us of the longtime pals. "[But] Lauren is just enjoying herself. She's not taking anything too seriously!"

Watch out for these two, world. The water broke and the placenta is dripping, and you know what that means: we're bearing witness to the birth of Hollywood's next great power couple. We all know that great things come in twos: Brad and Angelina, Sofia Vergara's tits, Disney child stars and cocaine -- but this mighty union is gonna rock Tinseltown like nothing we've seen. Get ready to take one in the tailpipe America, because when these two get together, the Teen Choice Awards will never...EEEEVEER...be the same again (Oops, I shat myself when I said EEEEVEER).

Chace Crawford arrested for marijuana possession

The streets of Texas are once again safe this afternoon after that menace Chace Crawford and his one unlit joint were finally captured after an intense four-county manhunt. From TMZ:

Chace Crawford from "Gossip Girl" was arrested in Plano, Texas for possession of marijuana ... cops confirm to TMZ. We're told Crawford has bonded out of jail.

Crawford was arrested just after midnight this morning for possession of marijuana under 2 ounces.  The charge is a misdemeanor. Crawford was busted in the parking lot of Ringo's Pub.

Sources say Crawford was in a car with a friend when he was busted and cops found one unlit joint.

Jesus Christ, one joint? That's it? He would have been given the key to the city if he was pulled over on Santa Monica Boulevard. Dumb celebrities better hope Hollywood doesn't move to Texas or they're all fucked. Lindsay Lohan might literally be sentenced to death as soon as she steps foot off the plane.

Chace Crawford at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami (2/6)

That's a smart move by Chace pulling that move on a hotel balcony. You're way less likely to get pepper-sprayed in the face. Trust me, it hurts like a bitch. Whose idea was it anyway to give pepper spray to high school campus security guards?

Shauna Sand promoting her sex tape in L.A. (11/19)

So, yeah, I guess Chace Crawford (he of Gossip Girl and "I nailed Bar Refaeli" fame) used to date Shauna Sand (she of Succubus: Hell Bent and "I have better balance than Mary Lou Retton" fame). Sweet. From Star:

Four years before Gossip Girl brought him instant stardom, the 18-year-old hunky college freshman had a steamy, sex-filled romance with model/actress Shauna, the ex-wife of Lorenzo Lamas and May 1996 Playmate who is 14 years his senior!

"He was so incredibly beautiful — I immediately fell in love with him!" Shauna tells Star exclusively about meeting Chase at a college party in Malibu. The couple began dating "and I even gave him a key to my apartment," Shauna said.

They quickly wore out a path to the bedroom. And though Chace has said he dated a girl for three years while in high school, a friend tells Star: "Chace told me, 'Shauna was the first girl I ever had sex with! She blew my mind, and I'll never forget it!'"

Could you imagine losing your virginity to Shauna Sand? You'd be ruined for the rest of your life. Every sexual encounter would end with your face being slapped and the cops being called. "Wait a minute, I thought all chicks could fit a cantaloupe up their vagina. Isn't that normal?"

Bar Refaeli out and about in New York (9/15)

Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford is getting Leo DiCaprio's sloppy seconds. Ha ha ha, what a loser . . . oh wait, the sloppy seconds he's getting is actually a supermodel. Dammit. From Just Jared:

The Gossip Girl hunk and Sports Illustrated cover model, both 24, shared a special moment on Friday night (September 11) at NYC hotspot 1Oak.

During Jay-Z’s “Run This Town,” they were “dancing on each other, swaying their hips together from side to side,” a partygoer exclusively tells JustJared.com. “At one point, Bar reached down and grabbed Chace’s backside. They were very affectionate with each other.”

Another source reveals, “Bar and Chace have been spending a lot of time together since Bar is town and attending NY Fashion Week events.

When I was young, my father taught me that with hard work, perseverance, and a strong work ethic, I could achieve anything. Sorry Dad, but apparently that's bullshit. If I really want the good life (fame, money, and supermodel ass) I guess I just have to appear on a third rate cable TV show and party at posh night clubs. On a side note, it appears as though I may have finally found a practical use for my college diploma: kindling.
