J-14 Editor Blog: Our Favorite 'Gossip Girl' Moments Ever

Gossip-Girl-Finale.jpg

Gossip Girl only has one more "xoxo" left in her.

Yup, after six seasons, your "one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite" will be retiring tonight as 'Gossip Girl' says its final farewell with the series finale airing tonight on the The CW at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

To toast our favorite clan of Upper East Siders off the air, the J-14 Magazine staff is
recounting our favorite moments from the series' history...

"My favorite moment was at the end of Season 2 when Chuck finally told Blair that he loved her. It was two seasons in the making and I'm glad these two are finally going to end up together... here's to hoping for a happily ever after -- these two were made for each other!" -- Photo Assistant Nicole Mazza

"I loved the first season's masquerade ball episode, 'The Handmaiden's Tale' -- especially when Nate accidentally kisses Jenny thinking she's Serena! That episode was full of drama and the dresses were out of this world! If 'Gossip Girl' knows one thing, it's definitely high fashion!" -- Editorial Associate Katie Amey

"No question -- my hands-down favorite moment is the Season 2 finale when Chuck comes back from Europe and finally tells Blair, 'I love you too.' From the New York City scenery to Blair's bright green coat and 'Seasons of Love' by Shiny Toy Guns playing in the background, it's the absolute perfect 'Gossip Girl' moment." -- Deputy Editor Ashley Spencer

"Of all of the OMG-worthy moments that 'Gossip Girl' supplied us with, one of my favorites was when we found out that Bart Bass was really alive. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was in that room and then I was shocked, happy, and sad all at the same time. That show really plays with your emotions!" -- Assistant Editor Laura Knipping

"Does every time Chuck and Blair got back together count? I love those two." -- Designer Tanya Swartz

"I know I should be rooting for Blair and Chuck -- I mean, has there ever been a more perfect couple in TV history? Yet there's something about the mismatched chemistry of Blair and Dan that I loved even more. I mean, how cute were their discrete movie-watching dates?! Love." -- Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chang

What's your all-time favorite 'Gossip Girl' moment?

xoxo,
J-14 Girl

Nickelodeon stars Victoria Justice and Max Schneider are back with another medley -- and this time it's for the holidays! They teamed up with Kurt Schneider again to make this video that was done in one shot (as always) and is presented almost entirely on cell phones! You just have to check out the video below to see what we mean.

"Max, Victoria and I had such an awesome time making the last two Medleys, so we had to go for the trifecta and do a new medley," Kurt says. "In case you guys were wondering, there is no video effects trickery going on here, we played back a video on each of the phones and then we filmed it all in one take! It was no easy task pulling this off, but with the help of some very talented people, we did! "

"Whatever you celebrate, wherever you are...Happy Holidays from us, to all of you," Victoria Tweeted with a link to the video.

See the cool video here:

Talk about showing support for Taylor Swift's music! While in L.A. to perform on the season finale of 'The X Factor' on Thursday, One Direction's Harry Styles was spotted (with rumored GF Taylor Swift in tow!) exiting the Shamrock Tattoo Parlor late last night.

So were the two getting matching tats? Doesn't look like it so far -- but Harry did show off a brand new (big!) ship tattoo on on his left arm. And it definitely looks familiar!

In Taylor Swift's most recent music video for "I Knew You Were Trouble," which is a song rumored to be about Harry, her love interest -- played by Reeve Carney -- rocks an almost identical ship tattoo on his right bicep! (Although Reeve's isn't real and was added just for the music video!)

What do you think about Harry's "I Knew You Were Trouble"-inspired tattoo?

We knew Justin Bieber had a 'Believe' acoustic album in the works -- and now we know when it will hit stores! Justin took to Twitter on Thursday to debut the new album art and let his fans know when to expect it. "January 2013," he Tweeted. "Spread the word."

The eight-track EP will be Justin's second acoustic venture following 2010's 'My Worlds Acoustic,' getting back to his humble roots when he was just a boy with a guitar. "Because I started out on YouTube just playing my guitar, just singing without all the production, I like to just put out acoustic albums," Justin says. "I think it's more intimate."

'Believe Acoustic' hits stores on January 29.
