Gossip Girl: Are Chuck and V Really Hooking Up?

Chuck and Vanessa are making out in the next new episode of Gossip Girl

Short of Dan and Little J, Chuck Bass and V are the last two people on Gossip Girl who would ever hook up. Right?

Wrong. As you can see in the photo to the left, Vanessa and the Basshole are kissing in Monday's all-new episode of Gossip Girl, "Remains of the J."

Could this possibly be an actual turn of events, or is it some kind of nutty dream sequence? Maybe they were just letting Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr have some fun?

Here's the shocking truth:

 

Sources whisper to us exclusively: "It's real, and they do more than kissing."

Also on Monday, the sky turns orange, the earth rotates backward and locust swarms start eating the glass and steel off of skyscrapers.

Seriously, though, it's probably a jealousy-inducing scheme designed to frak with their now-canoodling exes. According to the official description of the ep, "In a moment of weakness, Vanessa agrees to help Chuck with a scheme having to do with Blair and Nate." For that matter, Jessica Szohr told us recently about the prospect of a reunited Nate and Blair: "Obviously, Vanessa's a little bit hurt because that's her boyfriend, but what comes around goes around, so I'm sure Vanessa will be all right." Making Nate Archibald jealous by hooking up with Chuck Bass? Yeah, she'll be all right.

Will you be taking to a secret bunker in an undisclosed location or daring to face the world-shattering craziness of a Chuck and V makeout sesh?
