Muppets for Best Song!

By Joelgleo
What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song.

Nine years since the high school soap opera full of lying, cheating, rumor filled friends to enemies and enemies to lovers saga has been seen. So it’s time to crank up the reboot machine and bring back Gossip Girl. What does a new Gossip Girl mean in the year 2021? How have things changed? How have they stayed the same? And does the arrival of a new generation of a show that feels as recent as Gossip Girl make anyone else feel this old?  This new version of Gossip Girl takes place in the same continuity as the first one, nine years after the ending of the last series. (Technically four years after the ending of the last series since the final scene is a five year time jump, but I get what they’re saying.) Now we have a new group of elite students going to Constance, with the main cast being made up of seven lifelong friends, with their leader being Julien, the It Girl, of the in
