Gossip Girl (by the guy who created The OC) is about to have one more gossiping girl, thanks to a guest spot next week from gold-medal Olympian Nastia Liukin. How did the plucky tumbler score the sweet gig? I’ll let her explain it:
“I was in Los Angeles having dinner with a bunch of my friends and the producers of ‘Gossip Girl’ were sitting at the table next to me…So they sent over a note saying ‘Congratulations. Keep watching “Gossip Girl’. Then the next day they contacted my management and the next thing I know I have a guest role on ‘Gossip Girl.’
I eat lunch every day in Los Angeles and I’ve never been approached by the people from Gossip Girl, or any girl at all. The only difference I can figure is the gold medals.
If you’re curious how many medals it takes to get the good acting jobs, I’ve compiled a list, after the jump.
8 gold medals for swimming: Hosting gig on Saturday Night Live
5 gold medals for gymnastics: Guest spot on Gossip Girl
Silver medal in Skeet: Dance break in Lil Jon video*
Gold medal in Curling: Featured extra Cold Case*
Blue Ribbon in needlepoint: Producing credit on Fringe*
Bronze medal in anything: Cable Access.*
Gold medal for time travel, 2124 Olympics: Titular role on “I Love Lucy”*
* This is not real.
