'Gossip Girl' Heats Up 'Rolling Stone'

DateThursday, March 19, 2009 at 4:19PM
The guilty pleasure CW show, Gossip Girl, has reached a cultural milestone of sorts. It's featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. Many years ago, that was a real achievement (hence the novelty song, "The Cover of the Rolling Stone"), and while the overall importance of landing the Rolling Stone cover might not be as big as it used to be, it consistently has some of the better cover shots of any magazine.

That's the case with the Gossip Girl issue, photographed by Terry Richardson. Clearly, Richardson is not so much interested in the guys in this pictorial; Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are the stars of this pictorial, and they're pretty willing models.

Incidentally, if you've never seen Richardson's work before, this is really, really, really tame for him. Everyone's dressed, for starters. Actually, you probably have seen his work and just never realized it.

   

   

   

 

There's also a behind-the-scenes video at Rolling Stone in which Richardson says the Gossip Girl shoot that it's his first cover for the magazine. I bet it won't be the last.
