Sadly it wasn’t just the Gossip Girl rumour we hoped for. Could it be that Karl is finally going senile in his OAP years? Or the ultimate diplomatic move in fashion-meets-TV-PR? Don't get us wrong, Blake Lively seems a very lovely girl n’ all, one who would be the perfect patron saint of Abercrombie & Fitch, J Crew, or, hell, even Target… But the poster girl for Chanel? Did we miss something? Since when did squeaky-clean, apple-pie, California cheerleader ever translate to a brand that is the serious byword in luxurious sophistication?

Not surprisingly, Blakey-poos squealed the most twee, vom-inducing statement about her undying love for the timeless Chanel bag: "it's a quilted case full of lipstick, love letters, dreams and possibilities."

Continuing the perplexing ‘Gossip Girl Gals In Campaigns’ trend, ol’ panda eyes Momsen is doing her best 2 dollar ho-strut for John Galliano’s new fragrance looking sulky- we mean, seductive, as ever. Can we draw a line under this now please?
