Michelle Trachtenberg to join Gossip Girl.
She is going to play "a troublemaker from Serena's past who makes Blair look about as dangerous as Donna Martin".
Whatever that means.

So if you like that sorta thing, this is the sorta thing you'll like.
Good on Michelle, though - I'm gonna have to watch at least once, just to see her play a Mean Girl.
ET: fix word omissions...

"crazy farce played as straight drama" sometimes works very well and sometimes it becomes Falcon Crest (little twinge of le nausee' there, sorry)

Sounds like she got the role Mischa Barton turned down a few weeks ago.

On the subject of guest appearances, Clea "Marie 'The Invisible Girl' Ross" will appear on Greys Anatomy.

Michelle Trachtenberg, the actress who threatened to destroy "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for three seasons (mission failed, mostly) has just signed on for a role on the Upper East Side rich kids soap "Gossip Girl". She'll play the wicked troublemaker Georgina Sparks, who gives current "bad girl" Blair Waldorf a run for her money in the arbitrary bitchiness department. Trachtenberg, an entirely irritating actress, once again tromps all over a show I watch (though "Gossip Girl" has nowhere near as far to fall as "Buffy" did.) Either way, I'm the only one who watches the damn thing, so no one really cares. It'll just be me brooding away in my darkened living room, my cobwebby wedding cake rotting beside me, lamenting things long, long lost.

Adolescent Cruella? How about Cordelia, Jr.?
Anyway. I guess the Gawker doesn't get that the Dawn character was supposed to be shrill and annoying at first. She grew on me, that Dawn. Yes, she did.

ETA: Defamer has a more reasonable comment on Michelle's new role.

I completely agree. I was so disappointed that she didn't have more of a role in S7. The whole "Watcher, Jr." thing that was hinted at could have been fascinating. And I always cry my eyes out at the end of that episode after Xander gives her his little speech. It says so much about both of them as characters. So lovely--one of my favorite scenes in S7.

Perhaps someone should explain to Gawker that shows have writers and the actors speak words written by these writers and act the way they ask them. Did these guys get all the way through the writers strike without once saying "What? These shows aren't real?"
Next on Gawker: I hate Anthony Hopkins because he kills people and eats their livers.

Gossip Girl, on the other hand, is much less watchable, at least for me. Frankly, I've no time for teen dramas. Didn't like them when I actually was a teen so they have no chance with me now. 90210, Dawson's Creek, The O.C., One Tree Hill. Dull stories about dull people doing dull things. Gossip Girl is more of the same. Boring.

Can't guarantee I'll catch this show - I've been spotty with watching Whedon vets' subsequent projects (bad LKW) - but I'm happy for MT that she's got the part!
