Gossip Girl Churning Out More Musicians

Filed under: Music Minute > Penn Badgley > Gossip Girl

Blake Lively better learn the kazoo or something because she seems to be the only actor on Gossip Girl without an up-and-coming music career!

Now, Penn Badgley, who plays Dan Humphey on the show, is talking about his own musical aspirations. He admits that he "loves music" and writes his own material. But don't expect to hear any of his sweet melodies quite yet; he is sticking to acting for the time being.

"I mean music is my first passion, but because of that I don't really want to just take a first step in the wrong direction," he says. "At the moment, I just want to be sensible about what I do. I just write and I play, and that's all I need for myself right now."

As for his Gossip comrades, Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, and Taylor Momsen, though he hasn't heard much of their material, he supports them none-the-less: "I wish them the best with it. I think it's awesome that they're doing that."

Maybe there will be a musical episode of Gossip Girl next year.

That would be cheesy and brilliant!

    Actors shouldn't sing and singers shouldn't act. As for models, they can do small roles, but DEFINATELY shouldn't sing. I feel it's a sure way to tarnish your professional reputation.

    I don't like that Dan Humphrey character. He's dumber than that idiot who infringed on JD Salinger's copyright and wrote a sequel to Catcher in the Rye. I like Penn as an actor though. I just don't like the character he plays.

    Re: mynameis_elle – It depends on what kind of musical genre the actors are stepping into. I was pleasantly surprised at the casts of the films Chicago and Moulin Rouge. However, these GG actors are probably planning on doing boring, pop crap and that is when it gets embarrassing.

    of course everyone "loves music" and have "passion" about music but that doesnt mean you can play music dont even think about composing nowadays everyone are "musicians" thats why the industry is full of crap =3

    Ed Westwick is doing music? And um, what about Chace? He's dancing, not singing.
