Late last night, awesome nude photos of a blonde woman who looks like the twin of “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively leaked online. I say “the twin of Blake Lively” because Blake Lively, an extremely attractive 23-year-old woman, would never take nude self-portraits with the same iPhone that Blake Lively has. Of course not. Surely her PR rep can put this confusion to rest while threatening to sue anyone and everyone.

“The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites are 100 percent fake… Blake has never taken nude photos of herself. Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.” [Celebuzz]

Given that the face, the body, the iPhone/iPhone case, and even the moles and toothbrush in the photos match those belonging to Blake Lively, I’m going to make the daring claim that perhaps Lively’s rep is being somewhat less than truthful. I’ve seen Santa Claus films and Nazi propaganda that are more convincing than that statement. For example, did you know that Juden need the blood of Christian children to make matzah? It’s true, I read it in Der Stürmer.

This is really in the realm of “gossip” instead of “television news,” but I’m reporting it because it’s fantastic news: “Gossip Girl” co-stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have broken up after three excruciating years together. Excruciating for me, I mean.

Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, both 23, have ended their three-year romance, a rep for the Gossip Girl costars exclusively tells the new Us Weekly.

They called it quits in mid-September. ”They’re professionals,” an insider tells Us Weekly. “They’re still good friends and hang out on the set.”

I’m not quite sure why I get so excited about celebrity news like this. I mean, it makes no sense for me to get excited about Blake Lively being single, because it’s not like she’s going to start dating me. I’m already in a happy relationship, and I don’t appreciate her trying to get in the middle of it.

FUN FACT: Blake Lively’s breasts are lighter than air, softer than kitten fur, and able to cure cancer.

Below is the first promo for Season 4 of “Gossip Girl,” a show that’s targeted towards teenagers but watched mostly by single women with blogs. I guess Blair and Serena (Leighton Meester and Blake Lively – RAWR!) are in Paris this season, which I find fascinating only because I have no idea how the CW funded that. “Gossip Girl” finished 120th out of 124 network shows last year, so the fact that they’re not shooting the show in abandoned warehouses is pretty impressive.

In a related story, I can’t talk about “Gossip Girl” without bringing up Blake Lively. I hope God took the day off after making her, because she is FANTASTIC. I would totally keep her in a well and wear her skin — and not in a creepy way. I’m just a hugely enthusiastic fan of her work. Not enough to watch “Gossip Girl,” though. A man has to have limits.

Gossip Girl (CW) — Season finale. I was going to lead with the “Castle” finale because that’s a much better show. But then I realized I’d much rather look at Blake Lively than Nathan Fillion. Sorry, ladies. Maybe next time.

Castle (ABC) — Season finale. Monet Mazur guest stars as Castle’s ex-wife, possibly triggering Beckett’s hidden feelings. Who’s Monet Mazur? I’m not really sure, but that’s a hot name. If you name your daughter Monet, she’s destined to become a successful actress. Or a stripper. Probably a stripper.

Law & Order (NBC) — A lot of people who love “Breaking Bad” register only one complaint about the show: they can’t stand Anna Gunn as Skyler. Hey, good news! Anna Gunn guest stars on tonight’s “Law & Order.”

The Big Bang Theory (CBS) — I’m really having a hard time believing that syndication rights to this show sold for $2 million. People who defend this show love touting how the math and science is accurate, and yet nobody quibbles with the realism of three out of the four physicists being white.

House (Fox) — Season finale. House and his team join a search-and-rescue effort when a crane falls on a building and gives everyone inside lupus.

Little People, Big World (TLC) — It’s the show’s 200th episode, which equates to about 125 shows about regular-sized people.

I abhor making lists, especially ones that arbitrarily rank one thing as better than another. So the criteria I used for this list were: which women on TV did Warming Glow obsess the most over in 2009? Naturally I ended up favoring actresses who were not only beautiful, but also talented, intelligent, and in shows that are well made. Or super-slutty. Whatever.
