Late Monday, reports began circulating that Gossip Girl star/possessor of amazing bone structure Penn Badgley had signed on to portray Jeff Buckley in an upcoming biopic, one of two currently being planned about the late singer-songwriter, who died in 1997 in a freak drowning accident.
Badgley's film is called Greetings From Tim Buckley and will apparently take place in the days leading up the 1991 tribute concert for Jeff’s father Tim, who died in 1975 of a drug overdose, where Jeff made his public singing debut. According to a statement from the production company behind the project, the plot centers around "a romance with a young woman working the concert," through which Buckley "comes to understand the father who abandoned him."
And while some might be concerned that Badgley might not possess the, uh, depth required for a role of this magnitude, we have faith that he’s got it in him. For one, he can actually sing, and his character on Gossip Girl is already the son of a rock star, so that's got to count for something. In fact, we think that Badgley's GG co-stars should follow his lead and sign up for rock star biopics of their own. And yes, we've already picked out the perfect roles for them.
Blake Lively: Is blonde and makes questionable decisions ("The Green Lantern," Leonardo Dicaprio). In other words, she would be perfect as Courtney Love. Or Liz Phair.
Leighton Meester: Has already appeared on records with everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Cobra Starship, a pedigree which places her somewhere between Madonna and Pat Benatar.

Here's who didn't make the cut:
Apparently your castmate Jessica Szorh (Vanessa to those that go by character name only) feels the same — last week while courtside at a Knicks game you engaged in a PDA-session that crushed the dreams of many, present company included. I think the CW needs to implement a rule in which there can only be one inter-show romance at time and Penn and Blake got there first.
All of the Jonas Brothers - Every Jonas has a girlfriend! I would've bet money Kevin was single, but alas, a search showed that he too has a female to accompany him on triple-dates with Joe and Camilla and Nick and Selena. Love bugs indeed.
