There comes a time in every TV fan's life when you just gotta stop, drop what you're doing and let out a nice, big...

Squeee!

Today is such a day because in just a few hours, this season's most addictive guilty pleasure returns to our living rooms: the CW's Gossip Girl.

First, a little exclusive casting news: The CW confirms that Lydia Hearst (heiress of William Randolph Hearst and daughter of Patricia Hearst) will be guest starring in the season finale of GG. She plays Amelia, an interior designer for Bart and Lily’s apartment and has a “moment” with Chuck Bass. (Oooh, she had better hope Queen B doesn't see!)

Lydia was most recently spotted by our own Marc Malkin hanging out with Gossip newbie Michelle Trachtenberg. Here's a pic...

But more importantly, if you're dying to know who's gonna be hooking up (Chuck and Blair? Chuck and Nate? Vanessa and Nate?), read on for some exclusive Gossip couples' dish!

CW

The Devious and Delicious:  Chuck and Blair
OMFG, indeed! If you've been rooting for devious and delicious Blair and Chuck (Bluck? Chair?) ever since their winter burlesque-bar rendezvous (hot enough to wilt iron!), you'll be pleased to hear what sources tell me: Nate will be moving on with another girl (see below), clearing the way for what looks to be some blossoming Bluck bliss. They continue to "dance around each other" as the season continues, says one source, "and it looks like they're getting together." OMFG Yay!

The Goody (Cheap) Shoes:  Nate and Vanessa
According to sources, Nate is conjuring up a little somethin'-somethin' with Vanessa, and something tells me this pairing may be sorta awesome...She's much more in line with his high moral compass than Blair is, and given recent financial woes Nate's father went through, they can bond about being in a lower economic bracket. This could be wuuuuuve!

The Scandalous Staple:  Serena and Dan
S and D are going strong, but they won't be without scandal...Sources tell me that Trachtenberg's character, Georgina Sparks, will try to make a sex tape of Serena—without her knowledge. "She's coming back to say, 'You can't forget about me, and I'm gonna ruin your lives a little bit,'" Michelle says of her character. Sounds like G and Heidi Montag would be fast friends!
