Gossip Girl Casting...LYDIA HEARST!

PEOPLE is reporting that everyone's favorite heiress-socialite-model, Lydia Hearst, will be joining the cast of Gossip Girl as Lily Van Der Woodsen's interior decorator. I'm sure she'll be right at home with the sets, fashion and storylines as they couldn't be that far fetched from her own NYC private school upbringing.

According to People:

It’s already one of TV’s most stylish shows, and now Gossip Girl is set to go even more high-fashion. On May 19 Vogue cover model Lydia Hearst will join the cast as Lily’s posh interior decorator Amelia. And while the successful model may be fairly new to the acting game, she won’t feel like an outsider on the set. Her real-life best friend is this season’s other new cast member, Michelle Trachtenberg. Hearst spoke with PEOPLE at the St. Jude’s Marchesa fashion show in N.Y.C. about her latest endeavor, telling us, “I’m excited to have a legitimate role on the show.” And as for any upcoming Gossip Girl plot twists, the star will only hint at what’s ahead. “All I can say is I certainly have a moment with Chuck Bass!” We can’t wait to see how her entanglement our favorite villain turns out!

A Celebrity Moment: Lindsay hops on another bandwagon.

According to WWD  Lindsay Lohan is the face of the VISA SWAP campaign sponsored by VISA where you can donate your old clothes, have the value of them placed onto a VISA gift card then during  a specific week you can use this card on the second hand clothes others have donated during the weekend of July 19th. It's supposed to be a move towards "Ethical" fashion as the clothes are being recycled. Items left over will be donated to TRAID that supports communities in developing countries by raising money by selling recycled clothing in its stores. 

Currently VISA SWAP is currently only in London, England but with Lindsay in the campaign if this swap is successful I bet it won't be too long before it heads to this side of the Atlantic.
