Hilary Duff Heads to Gossip Girl

Serena, Blair and the rest of their tight-knit group are about to have yet one more thorn in their side when a new girl comes to town. That's right folks -- movie and pop star Hilary Duff is coming to the CW drama Gossip Girl this fall.

According to EW, Duff will play Olivia Burke, "a movie star looking for a typical college experience." Olivia and Vanessa will be roommates, which is guaranteed to stir the pot in the absolute juiciest way possible -- especially when she makes a play for Dan!

Duff's character will be introduced in the fourth episode and is expected to appear in several episodes this season. The new season of Gossip Girl gets underway on September 14.
