Serena And Blair Catfight

Looks like two BFFers (my Kelly and Brenda version for the 21st century) are coming to blows in the not so distant future. Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester were filming scenes in Brooklyn on Thursday for the upcoming and much anticipated (probably by me only) second season (which begins Sept 1). This scene takes place in the 5th or 6th episode. Lively's "Serena" character will be going in a different direction and will be hanging out with a new friend named "Poppy" who will probably cause friction with current BFF, "Blair" played by Meester. For those who may have read the books, Aaron Rose, who has yet to be cast, is set to appear in episode 7 or 8, but I gather he isn't going to be portrayed on screen the way he is in print. But Serena will be dating him, just like she did in the book version. Check out more pics of their cat scratching below as well as them laughing prior to getting down. Did Serena really pull off Blair's sacred headband? Oh, and Eric gets a boyfriend.
