The new teen drama "Gossip Girl" has a healthy fan base.

Badgley, co-star of Blake Lively in Gossip, recalled one incident a few months ago when he was mobbed on the street by over 50 schoolgirls (and one or two schoolboys). "It was overwhelming," he sighed. "I felt like Brad Pitt in Japan." Lively had a few bizarre encounters of her own to recount. "I was outside of a restaurant in Soho the other day and I started talking to a man who was pushing his baby," she said. "He was in his forties and the last person you'd expect to be watching our show. And I was just, like, cooing over his baby and he goes, No, you don't want one and, yes, I watch 'Gossip Girl.' "
