Gossip Girl is wisely expanding Chace Crawford’s enviable gene pool in the form of a cousin for Nate.
The yet-to-be-cast character is in his 20s and described as wealthy,
confident, politically-minded and — all together now — extremely
good-looking.
But before you go fixing him up with Blair, you should
know that cuz is married. You should also know that his name is Kip
Vanderbilt, so brace yourselves for the inevitable “Anderson Cooper
cameo” rumors. But all signs are that Kip is not a descendent of that
Vanderbilt family. For starters, Kip’s dad’s name is William, not
Cornelius.
Casting suggestions for Kip? Spill ‘em below!

Is James Marsden too old ? ‘Cause talk about a pretty boy !
Jason Dohring, please!
How about Jason Dohring?
I don’t understand the Anderson Cooper reference…
gloria’s his mother.
Could he also be Lily and Bart’s lost son?
Does your reference to Blair mean that there is no chance that Blair and Chuck will get together soonish ? I kind of imagined that from the next promo but I hoped that it was intentionally misleading.
mscisluv, Anderson Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt.
Jason dohring! Stunning! I adore him.
To mscisluv:
Anderson Cooper, born on June 3, 1967 in New York City, is the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt II of the prominent Vanderbilt Family of New York.
Hence the reference, as this new character is Kip Vanderbilt.
My lord…if James Marsden joined the cast…I would definitely tune into Gossip Girl. That man…yumm!
Anderson Cooper is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, she of the millions-inheriting, jean-designing, perfume-naming socialite.
Christian Cooke, the British Chase Crawford doppelganger. Or if they’re going a bit older, Ian Somerhalder.
Of course Jason Dohring. Somebody get him on a new show stat. All the better if it’s Gossip Girl.
Zac Efron would never but he should
Jason Dohring on Gossip Girl would be AMAZING.
TT>>>>>> Ian Somerhalder is perfect!!!! He looks a lot like Chance!!!!
Jason dohring has already been cast on “Washingtonienne” on HBO
Keli Price!
Jason Dohring. He breathes charisma.
I know he’s a thirtysomething, but I think Michael Rosenbaum would be fun to have on GG and could fit the part. And to see him on TV with hair again might be nice.
Y’all make me laugh! James Marsden hasn’t done a network show since he did his time on ABC’s FIRST NOAH back in the 90’s…hahaha Speaking of, wonder when they’ll release that on dvd? hmmm…Random thoughts…Anyways my suggestion for Nate’s cousin is C list actor, but incredibly cute hunk, Travis Van Winkle whose in next month’s FRIDAY THE 13TH remake. Yeah he’s not a house-hold name, but he sure is hot, and let’s be honest, GOSSIP GIRL’s budget goes to clothes, not its actors…
SECOND NOAH on ABC, not FIRST, my bad…
if Gossip Girl had been made ten years ago I could see Ian Somerhalder playing one of those rich, spoiled, disaffected a*holes. his parts in Rules of Attraction and Lost weren’t that far off. he’s perfect for it.
why would we set him up with blair??? she is forever with chuck.
I agree with KIM, Ian Somerhalder would be perfect! I never thought about the fact that they do resemble each other and he is the right age!
What about Hunter Parrish (from Weeds) if they want someone in his early 20s. I think he is so cute and would be great in it.
i agree that Ian Somerhalder looks like he could be related to Chase Crawford and would fit in well with the family, HOWEVER i WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE <3 to see Jason Dohring in this character! We already know he can pull off handsome cocky rich guy
Scott Porter formerly of Friday Night Lights! We need to see this guy on TV again,and he might bring some real,um, acting skills to the show.
What about Matt Czuchry? There were already rumores about him and Gossip Girl after the first season started, maybe it will happen!?
