Michelle Trachtenberg Gossip

She may only be 22 (give her metabolism a few more years), but Michelle Trachtenberg says she doesn't diet. In fact, she doesn't even work out.

"I love food, I hate working out," the actress said. "I don't get any of that endorphins and stuff that keeps people going. I went through a chicken fingers phase about a year ago...Chicken fingers, ranch dressing, MMM."

When she does thow in a healthy meal, the actress says she usually eats sushi or a salad and tries to "take a multi-vitamin".

And then there's her favorite: "I love club sandwiches; The multi-layer, the cheddar cheese, and avocado."

One thing's clear: Michelle's definitely worked up an appetite playing Gossip Girl resident mean girl Georgina Sparks.

Her character spends most of her time tormenting others around her. But in real life, Trachtenberg is nothing like Georgina.

"Unfortunately I didn't have the best school experience because kids can be very cruel," she says.

Michelle Trachtenberg is joining the cast of Gossip Girl.

The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and EuroTrip star will portray Georgina Sparks, a troublemaker from Serena's (Blake Lively) past. As earlier reported, thin actress Mischa Barton had been offered the role.

This marks the second big project for Trachtenberg in 2008. She's also starring alongside Zac Efron in the movie 17 Again, out in August.

Move over, Caroline Lyders and Taylor Hicks. There's a new couple in town.

Michelle Trachtenberg has a new boyfriend - and he's smooth as butter.
The actress was seen all over Las Vegas this past weekend with Brandon Hirsch, a manager at New York City hot spot Butter.

The couple first stepped out Friday night at the Killers concert at the Hard Rock Hotel, where they kissed in the crowd and Hirsch swept Trachtenberg off her feet as the band launched into their hit "Mr. Brightside."

Later that evening, the two headed to Caesars' Palace's Pure Nightclub, dancing to tunes spun by none other than Michelle's ex, DJ AM. That must've been awkward.

A source close to Trachtenberg told People magazine that the Jessica Biel look-a-like met Hirsch two years ago, but two got reacquainted about six months ago and have been quietly dating.

While Trachtenberg lives in Los Angeles, "She's becoming bicoastal and spending a lot more time in New York to be with him," said the source. "She wants to be really low-key about the relationship since this is the first time she's dated someone who is not in the business."

Perhaps she could chat with Jennifer Aniston to see how one handles this sort of scenario. After all, that star is reportedly dating a non-actor in Paul Sculfor.

One of them may have recently bedded Justin Timberlake.

The other has dated DJ AM.

Therefore, it's apparent that Jessica Biel has better taste in men than her similar looking counterpart pictured here. But give Michelle Trachtenberg a break. She's less famous than Biel.

We're sure Diddy would be happy to ogle her breasts anyway. Just give the man a chance.

We were as shocked by this news as anybody. After all, wasn't DJ AM recently engaged to Nicole Richie? Twice.

That's almost as many pounds as Lionel's daugther has put on the last nine years. Combined.

Anyway, it appears as though Nicole has moved on with Samuel Plouchart - and now the DJ is stepping out with a new leading lady, as well. He was recently seen with Michelle Trachtenberg (pictured below) at night club, Stereo.

Trachtenberg's Eurotrip co-stars had no comment, but we wonder if Brody Jenner cares. He did date Richie for awhile.

Which means he's sort of slept with DJ AM. And Lauren Conrad has sort of slept with Trachtenberg. That's hot.
