Brittany Snow
Gossip

The CW has not picked up the much-hyped Gossip Girl spin-off.

This is bad news for Brittany Snow, who was set to star in the series as a younger version of Lily van der Woodson.

But you can help give Snow some good news, as she compete below againt Kim Kardashian in our latest Fashion Face-Off.

It's the second one-strap showdown in as many weeks for Kardashian, who is either as the forefront of this trend or is following everyone else's lead. Study the photos below and then chime in...

Who wears this outfit better?

Attention Brittany Snow fans: Don't panic.

Despite reports that the Gossip Girl spinoff has been axed, the '80s series is not officially dead yet, according to a source close to the CW network.

The CW programmers are still making their decisions, and that everything, including Snow and Krysten Ritter's new series, is under consideration.

Why wouldn't a Gossip Girl spinoff get an automatic pickup - especially with flashback teases set to air on Monday night's all-new Gossip Girl?

The problem for all of the CW pilots this year is that with Privileged likely to get a pickup, there are only three spots left in the CW's schedule for new shows.

The original Gossip Girl, along with 90210, Supernatural, Smallville, One Tree Hill and America's Next Top Model have all already been ordered for next year.

Throw in the new Melrose Place (which seems to be a virtual certainty), and you've got just two holes left to fill. The Beautiful Life (starring Mischa Barton) and the Vampire Diaries are also strong competition for the Gossip Girl spinoff.

So that's where it stands, and it probably doesn't look good. But when you consider the fact that big publicity comes with all things associated with Gossip Girl, which made stars of Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, you never know.

They're about as unreliable as a celeb gossip mag can get, but Star says is reporting that Brittany Snow has been cast in the lead role in the new Gossip Girl spinoff.

"Brittany is thrilled," a friend of the former American Dreams star says.

"She loves [Gossip Girl] and thinks the 1980s concept sets the spin-off apart. She can't wait to wear all the fabulous outfits and really sink her teeth into the role."

Brittany Snow - who has appeared in Hairspray and John Tucker Must Die - was the top choice for producers, who thought she would be the perfect choice for the part of young Lily. She was reportedly offered the role without an audition.

"Brittany always thought she was going to continue her career in films," a source said. "But this is a marvelous part and she just couldn't say no. This has the potential to be a huge show in the tradition of Melrose Place."

The "backdoor pilot" will air as part of the Gossip Girl episode May 11.

Hopefully, this story isn't made up, as we enjoy Brittany Snow. But either way, we've got an excuse to post lots of photos of her below! Click to enlarge:

Without a doubt, celebrity diets and weight loss work for some.

Other stars, though, have found that the best diet is none at all!

Having weathered the highs and lows of several eating disorders, actress Brittany Snow has sworn off dieting and personal trainers!

"I'm done. I canceled my trainer," Snow, 22, said over the weekend at Stride Gum's Longest Day of the Year party in West Hollywood.

"I refuse to do the whole diet or fitness thing anymore. I just go and have fun. I know what I like, what makes me feel good, and that's what I do."

Brittany Snow has had anorexia, exercise bulimia, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder as a teen - once falling to a Kate Bosworth-esque 85 pounds.

But the cute actress credits fellow star and friend Sophia Bush for helping to coach her on her body image issues and now is doing better!

In her new movie, that is.

Yes, actress Brittany Snow, who's been in mostly wholesome roles up until now, has been a bad, bad girl in filming her latest movie.

In the upcoming drama Black Water Transit, Brittany breaks out in the complex, racy role of a troubled prostitute.

"Basically, I have sex with everybody in the movie," Brittany Snow says in the new edition of Vegas Magazine, which comes out August 1.

"I wear nothing the entire time."

Gulp. This is quite the revelation for those of us accustomed to seeing a cute Brittany Snow in Hairspray (with hottie Zac Efron), John Tucker Must Die (with train wreck Jesse Metcalfe), TV's American Dreams or the legendary soap opera Guiding Light.

But people grow up, and you know what, everyone has to play a troubled prostitute sometime. Heck, Britney Spears practically is one in real life.

But that's a topic for another time. For more revelations about the 21-year-old actress, check out excerpts from the interview with Brittany Snow below:

On dealing with the critical world of Hollywood:
I'm a messed-up actress. I should be strong and have this thick skin, but I'm a really sensitive girl.

On hitting the Sin City scene on her 21st birthday:
We were up for probably three days straight â€" without any drugs â€" but lots of alcohol and lots of coffee.

On being taken seriously for her craft, not her lifestyle:
I'm really excited to show people that I am an actual actress, not just wanting to be like other celebrities and go to this party and that party.

It's a noble sentiment. Here's hoping we see more of this new Brittany in the coming years and less of the crazy Ms. Spears ... or Brittany Murphy.
