Gossip Girl: Queen Jenny Takes Her Throne

jenny humphrey queen

Remember when Jenny Humphrey was just a cool, normal chick from Brooklyn? You know, before she dropped out of school to become a punk rock fashion designer and well before she became the biggest bitch on the UES?

She’s come a long way since those days. And even though she’s sporting over-sized t-shirts and men’s ties instead of bedazzled headbands, Jenny Humphrey is quickly surpassing Blair Waldorf as the meanest Queen in school. Yeah, we all thought she could live in both worlds – sweet Jenny at home and big, scary Jenny on the steps – but she proved us all wrong. First she demands almonds without the skin and then she dumps a perfectly good yogurt on her brother?

WTF, Jenny? There are starving children in Africa! You get twelve shopping bags from Bergdorf’s and suddenly you have no respect for the people who care about you most?  Seriously, girl, get a clue. And a hairbrush. Those extensions are lookin’ a little, well, nappy.

And speaking of evil-doers, let’s take a trip to Chuck Bass’s new world. The world that was almost ruined by selfish, needy Blair. The guy only has 24 hours to make his hotel a giant success – standard – and Blair’s ego gets in the way, almost costing him everything. Not that anyone had any doubt in Chuck’s abilities. Those eyes, that hair, that cute hat and suit combo… er…I mean, he’s smart and business savvy just like his daddy-o, so obviously he’d pull everything together and have the hottest hotel in NYC in under 24 hours.

I mean, that’s normal for a rich 18-year-old, right?

Luckily, everyone got out of the busted party unscathed (and Serena even picked up a new boy-toy!). If only it were that easy in the real world where I’ve found myself tearing off my heels and running through the bushes to get away from the PoPo that has come in search of under-age imbibers. I’d much rather have my photo taken by a bunch of paparazzi like Dan and Olivia than hide out in a bathroom until the police finally head out.

And going home with a mega moviestar wouldn’t be so bad, either. Although, I don’t know about you, but if I were Dan I’d feel less than excited to bump and grind with a talented actress like Olivia. I mean that girl does sex scenes for a living. With her hot Hollywood ex boyf. If anyone can fake an orgasm it’s her. Let’s hope not-so Lonely Boy is a little more adventurous between the sheets than he is in real life.

Who am I kidding? That kid looks about as vanilla as they come. My money is on a lack of bedroom sparkage. We all know Hillary isn’t going to be a permanent fixture on GG, so I’m betting it’s Dan’s bedroom boredom that sends this A-lister packing.

We’ll just have to wait and find out next week. With the entire group in a tizzy (Eric hates Jenny, Serena hates Nate and Blair, Blair hates the world), things are going to get even more exciting. I just hope someone puts Jenny in her place. With some eggs. To her face.

You know you love the dramz,

XOXO

    I like Jenny, and I think the way Eric and Jonathon handled the situation was pretty messed up. Obviously Jenny didn’t want to be a bitch to them, cause they’re her family, but she can’t have the minions not looking up to her either, because then she can’t reign the way she wants (which is by NOT being a bitch) She wants to protect everyone, but she can’t do that when Eric tries to step in her way. He really should have just trusted her and not tried to test her.

    are you kidding? Did you not notice the end when she threw her sewing machine away? That was a sign that she was throwing away old jenny and becoming new, bitchy jenny. The power went to her head.

    I don’t think the power went to her head, what I gathered from it all was since Eric no longer wanted anything to do with her, she was abandoning “Family Jenny” (since she was no longer accepted there) and transforming into “Queen Bitch Jenny” because at least the Queen Bitch is accepted at school. Her whole story line this episode was about her “two worlds” and at the end she was forced into the world she didn’t want to be in. We’ll see what she makes of it.

    Oh and I say “the world she didn’t want to be in” because at the beginning she was hesitant to throw out that old life, but after Eric wanted nothing to do with her (although he was the one who breached the two worlds when he defied the queen. Even though she’s his sister, she’s still the queen), there was nothing left of that old life to hang on to, so she threw out her old clothes and her sewing machine (her old life) and is embracing her new role.

    I agree. I think Eric forced her to make a choice and I think that she’s trying to at least stick with a group that is predictable. They may be bitchy, but at least she knows how they’ll behave.

    From what we know of Jenny so far, she’s a very family-oriented person. She strays from her family only when she’s been hurt by one of them, but then she always goes back to them when she gets into trouble. I’m sure this time will be no different.

    Jenny needed something to spark her character’s SL. Bitchy Queen Jenny is much improved over raccoon eyed, teen angst Jenny. She was annoying me almost beyond redemption. This ep was actually a step up from what we have been seeing as of late, so I’m happy. Plus, Bart’s not dead! So that will also up the season’s SL for everyone.

I Kissed A Girl…And I Wanna Do More

Like Katy Perry, and probably many of you, I kissed a girl. And I liked it. More than once. Lately I’ve been wondering if kissing a girl is so different, what would having sex with a girl be like? The thought has left me awake at night with lots of questions, confusion and curiosity. When it comes to trying out the other team, there’s just so much to consider…
