We still have to wait a little over a month until Gossip Girl Season 3 premieres on the CW, but at least there are plenty of set photos and sneak peek interviews to keep us guessing until then! Recently Kristen over at E! Online sat down with Gossip Girl stars Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Michelle Trachtenberg and Jessica Szohr to squeeze out whatever she could about their characters' romantic and academic endeavors.

Brand new photos from the set reveal one thing my fellow GG fans will be glad to see: lots of kissing between Blair and Chuck! Looks like the new couple will stay a couple... for at least a little while.

After the jump, the 4 set interviews and 2 batches of new Gossip Girl set photos.
