Pretty boy no more! “Gossip Girl”‘s Chace Crawford appears in the new issue of edgy fashion and pop culture mag Wonderland with a decidedly new look. Mussed-up hair, fake knuckle tats, and ... is that ... guyliner?! In the show above, a roughed and glammed-up Chace is having his shirt pulled by a masculine-looking arm. Are the visible tats supposed to hint that maybe the appendage belongs to co-star and oft rumored lovah, Ed Westwick? We can only hope! After the jump, one more pic, plus a link to where you can see the rest.

This feather seems to be the perfect blend of Ed’s real-life rocker image and his dandy “Gossip Girl” alter ego, Chuck Bass. See the second, somewhat NSFW tat, after the jump. Hint: “She’s A Pinup!” [via Oh No They Didn’t!]

Many of us have long suspected that despite his womanizing ways, Chuck Bass may not actually be interested in the ladies. How many high school guys do you know (besides “NYC Prep” co-star PC) who can pull off a scarf? Well, Chuck at least tries men on for size in the upcoming season. According to EW.com’s Ausiello Files, several insiders have confirmed the cast is currently shooting an episode in which Ed Westwick kisses Neal Bledsoe, who is guest-starring as “Josh Ellis,” NYU’s head of freshman affairs. College is a time for experimentation, after all. [EW]

Just because you’re not on one of those hot-right-now vampire shows doesn’t mean you can’t be inspired by the look. Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick give in to the power of the night in a leaked photo from an upcoming issue of Elle. [Gossip Girl Insider]

This man in a white coat can take us away any day! [New York City, 8/7/09]

Oh, no! Is Ed Westwick in trouble? It looks like Chuck Bass could use a good friend right now.

First, his “Gossip Girl” co-star Chace Crawford moved out of the NYC apartment they shared to a place of his own. (It was a lot of heartthrob under one roof.) Then Chace dissed Ed by allegedly not inviting him to his 24th birthday. Cold, Chace. Cold.

If any bloke could pull off snappy red suspenders, it’s you, Ed Westwick. But I’m sorry, you kinda look like a 50-year-old stockbroker. Nice try, “Gossip Girl” wardrobe department. [NYC, 6/29/09]

Good-bye, sex toys, hello Ed Westwick! [GQ via Perez Hilton]

• Kelly Bensimon of “The Real Housewives of New York City” has been ordered to perform two days of community service as a plea deal stemming from misdemeanor assault charges from an incident with her boyfriend. [PopEater]—Don’t expect her to put her name on any invitations.
• Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr looked like they took a bath in some orange goop before attending Shane West’s birthday bash. [Perez Hilton]—Jessica’s orange skin isn’t the only tragedy. Homegirl shouldn’t go partying if she knows her roots will sweat out.
• Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend says Rihanna bloodied his face the night of the altercation. [Media Takeout]

Is it just us, or is the normally pasty Brit actually tan? [New York City, 4/24/09]

Behold a bloody Ed Westwick in “S. Darko.” If you’re a “Gossip Girl” fan and and a “Donnie Darko” fan, your head might explode at even the thought of watching “S. Darko,” the “Donnie Darko” sequel set for a straight-to-DVD release this April. “S. Darko” focuses on Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase, “The Ring”), Donnie’s little sister, who takes a road trip to LA to make it big, along with her BFF Corey (Briana Evigan, “Step Up 2 The Streets”). Car problems ensue, a meteor crashes to the earth, and Samantha has dreams that suggest the end of the world is nigh. This time around, though, “Donnie Darko” director Richard Kelly isn’t helming the production: “I have absolutely no involvement with this production, nor will I ever be involved.” As for Westwick, he plays Randy, and you can check out more shots of him pullin’ a James Dean here.
