Did you see the season premiere of Gossip Girl?! If you didn't, we'll catch you up. After being stood up by Chuck, Blair decided to fly to Europe anyway, where she hooked up with a guy named James. Now, she's brought him to the Hamptons to close out the summer, making Chuck insanely jealous in the process. So who is this mystery man? His name is Patrick Heusinger, and while he's a TV newcomer, he's anything but an acting newbie. Just finishing up a two-year run on the national tour of Spamalot, Patrick also starred in The Nanny Diaries with ScarJo. Find out what it's like being new kid on the blog, er, block.

How has it been working with the Gossip Girl cast?
It was funny -- I did an interview with somebody yesterday and they asked me, "So are the rumors true about there being feuds on the set?" And I was like, "What? No. No, there's nothing like that at all!" Everybody's so nice and so welcoming. Everybody's so sweet. And the set is really fun, and the energy on set is very positive.
