Last night's episode of Gossip Girl not only had two major outings-the predictably fey younger brother to Serena, Eric van der Woodsen (pictured) and his rehab boyfriend, Asher Hornsby, from a rival prep school-but it also had so much high-octane bitchiness, queen bee drama, hilarious beard references to Vanessa Hudgens and Katie Holmes, and sheer camp that the outings and gay slurs were actually out-gayed by all the straight content on the show. When young Jenny Humphrey's house of cards came crashing down as soon as Gossip Girl blogged that her boyfriend's a 'mo, the only condolence she got from her besties was "Now you know how Vanessa Hudgens feels." SNAP!
In the scene below, ascending diva obsession Leighton Meester kills it as Blair "Queen B" Waldorf, successfully retorting when Asher sneers "it's not what it looks like," by declaring, "It's always what it looks like." So true! Her smug expression when she tells him "you'll see!" at the end made us laugh even more than the "faggot" line, usurping it as the giddy highlight of the episode.
