Available on DVD from 18th August

Money, style and a group of the most beautiful young people on the planet – welcome to the fabulous world of Manhattans Upper East Side… A place where anything can happen and just about anything goes!

Gossip Girl: Season One, written by The O.C.'s, Josh Schwartz, launches in spectacular style on 18th August and follows the compelling and fantastical lives of best friends (well, sometimes!), resident hottie, Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), and the stunning but seriously superficial, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester).

So, here’s the story, Blair’s dating heartthrob, Nate (Chace Crawford,) and they have been together forever, but could things be ruined after his mystery dalliance with supposed best friend, Serena. Will Serena and loveable looser, Dan (Penn Badgely), ever make it on a date, and just what did happen between Dan and Chuck (Ed Westwick) after Chuck made a pass at his baby-sister, Jenny (Taylor Michel Momsen)? Can you keep up?

Witness a shameless tale of drink, drugs, and designer clothes as the beautiful people bounce from party to party, boasting their secrets and successes while living life on the edge. Never has bitching and backstabbing been so easy and enjoyable to watch!

Also starring Kelly Rutherford as Serena’s high-society mother, Lily, and Matthew Settle as Rufus, the one-hit wonder and rocker father of Dan and Jenny Humphrey - the unlikely couple have a secret history together, but what is the twist?!

The big question is just how long can these seemingly flawless socialites keep up appearances that life is just dandy? How long will it be until the false facade reveals that the rich are not so perfect after all? And more to the point, just who is Gossip Girl?

Super sexy, super bitchy, superficial and yet super fantastic, you’ll be hooked in an instant - tune into Gossip Girl: Season 1 out on DVD from 18th August 2008!
