The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it’s safe to say she’ll be majoring in Drama!
Duff will debut in this season’s fourth episode, slated to air Oct. 5.
Gossip producers spotted an opening in Duff’s schedule after NBC passed on her comedy pilot Barely Legal.
What say you, Gossip gurus? Do you approve of Duff’s casting? Thoughts on who she’ll be paired with romantically? (My guess: Dan.) Sound off below!

Too bad I don’t watch Gossip Girl, I like Hilary.
I guess I’ll have to turn it on just for her.
I’ll try to reserve judgment till I see her on the show, but…oy.
I think this could be interesting, but I think she’ll probably end up as a Nate conquest… won’t it be awkward when she brings Nate back to her dorm room only to find Vanessa there? Hrm….
great just what this show needed more stupid fat blondes, it wasn’t enought with joana now it’s hilary, they can kiss season 4 goodbye
so true
Hilary is definitely still developing as an actress. So it’ll be good to see her in something different.
She was surprisingly good on SVU last year, and this is a big name for the Teen-Drama. Great casting.

Seriously, I’ve stood through Gossip Girl through a lot, the Meester sex tape being the latest, but I just CAN’T stand her! ugh. I really hope it’s just an arc and that she vanishes away forever after that! UGH! WHY G.G.? WHY???? :C
a car crash maybe? a stage accident? someone has to write to the producers of this serie and convince them to kill her allready!!
OH NO !
Please, tell this news are fake !
I’m really really happy!
I hope it’s true.
