Deadline Hollywood in the last coupla years has received shout-outs on a growing number of TV shows like American Idol, Californication, even a multi-episode storyline on Entourage. But tonight I can die happy: The CW’s Gossip Girl gave a shout-out to Deadline and to me. (Serena leaked a story to Deadline in an effort to secure film rights to Dan’s semi-autobiographical novel.) You high-brow types can keep your Boardwalk Empire: I’ve enjoyed every low-brow episode of Gossip Girl since it debuted. Now if only Chuck and Blair can get back together…
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


Chuck and Blair HAVE to get back together! Or I will die. End of story.
BOOO!! TEAM DAIR ALL THE WAY!!!
LOL love this!! The shout out and you saying thanks!!! and indeed, hopefully they listen to you! Chuck and Blair please!
No thanks. Dan and Blair, please!
The ratings haven’t been great, but this has been their best season in years.
Yeah, Blair deserves someone who will sell her for a hotel
Yes, Please put Chuck and Blair back together already!
Funny stuff, Nikki, and I remember the Entourage (Piven) shout out.. that was hysterical.
But it still doesn’t make up for that nasty hit-piece on Michael Pitt. I think you owe readers an explanation, really makes it seem like you’re in bed with UTA.
Then maybe you can tell them to put Chuck and Blair back together because we’re sick of waiting
Preach. All us fans want is for Chuck and Blair to get together. They’re why I watch the show.
Totally new level of respect for you, Nikki. “xoxo”
Congrats on the shout out, haha. So well-deserved. And, yes, writers. Listen to Nikki and get Chuck and Blair back together STAT!
Are you out of your mind, Nikki? You really think that Gossip Girl has better writing than Boardwalk Empire?
Nikki has just lowered herself once again. How come you continue to pick on BOARDWALK EMPIRE? Seriously, GOSSIP GIRL – there are just no words.
And why the hit on Michael Pitt, hit-girl. You fancy yourself being in bed with slime?
Who the hell rubbed you the wrong way. And stop taking it out on one of the best show on TV on one of the best networks, HBO. HBO is top notch, especially in how they treat everyone. Stop dissing one of their top shows. And go watch HEDWIG and THE DREAMERS for christsakes so you know who Michael Pitt is, you loser.
But Boardwalk Empire is terrible. Lifeless and overwritten.
Michael Pitt you’re being an asshole again, don’t you know that’s why UTA fired you?
YAY!! Chuck and Blair FTW !! Writers, please listen to Nikki.
Oh congrats, nikki! Now can you convince them that we want to see some Chuck and Blair and not that lame prince?
team DAIR! dan and blair are so much better, and funny!
That’s fantastic, Nikki! I love Gossip Girl but it is rather dull without Chuck and Blair having more than one minute scenes together. Someone needs to fix that!
You tell them,Nikki! We want Chair!
You and Deadline deserve it, Nikki! I wish you could will them to bring back Chuck and Blair because, damn, are they needed!
Low-brow FTW! I’ve been slumming it with Gossip Girl for 4 years now
And agreed on Chuck and Blair, we need some more of that, stat.
Nikki, can you get them to bring back my epic Chair? I hope that baby is Chuck’s too. How lame is that prince? Glad you got a nod!
was just watching that show! congrats!
I’m a Chuck and blair fan too, Nikki! Preach it, girl!
I really like Chuck and Blair too, Nikki, and I know they are meant to be. Glad Gossip Girl gave you a nice shout out and I’m thrilled at how excited you are
Wake me up when Chuck and blair will start to interact again. zzzz
