Is Penn Badgley too cool for school?

The actor, who plays co-ed Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl, admits he’s ready for a bigger challenge with his role.

“I can do this role with my eyes closed and my arms behind my back. What I’m looking for now is something challenging,” Badgley tells GQ magazine.

“I always joke with the show’s creators, ‘Anytime you want me to do drugs or contemplate suicide, I’ll do it.’”

Interestingly, Badgley turned down the nice-guy role on Gossip Girl at first.

Whether he graduates to the dark side or not, one thing is certain: Badgley, who dates co-star Blake Lively on and off-screen, is sure keeping fans interested.

Rejoice, NeNe lovers!

No word yet on whether all five Atlanta housewives will be back for season two.

Melrose Place, originally a spinoff of Beverly Hills 90210, might be hitting the CW soon.

Inside sources for network tell People magazine that Mark Schwahn, creator of the CW’s One Tree Hill, is in negotiations to pen a pilot for Melrose.

“Melrose Place will shoot a pilot during the regular pilot season,” the source said.

The soapy drama–which originally aired from ’92-’99–featured stars such as Heather Locklear, Marcia Cross, and Andrew Shue living it up in a California apartment complex.

No word yet on which cast members, if any, will be returning to Melrose Place.
