Brittany Snow Nabs Lead Role in Gossip Girl Spinoff!

brittany_snow1 Oooh, this is exciting! I'm a HUGE Brittany Snow fan. I wasn't planning on watching the Gossip Girl spinoff, about Lily van der Woodsen's wild-child life in the '80s, but now I might have to tune in.

I don't even have wrinkles, but I use it from time to time to lift my eyebrows and just generally improve my skin tone, and I sw...
