Only 10 days to go till Gossip Girl returns to small screen, but fans can get their fix from this interview with hottie Penn Badgley.

He talks about his movie “The Stepfather” and how he prepares for his role (the poor baby’s all covered with bumps and bruises!). His favorite part about being a star? Being back in New York, and “living in the city and not be a starving student. It’s incredible to be young and live here and not have to clean up your dorm room.”
