Every week we pick the gays who we think have made the biggest splash in television (or pop culture in general) and leave it to you, the keepers of the flame, to decide who will be crowned Gay of the Week. We'll announce the winner on Friday, and that champ will reign until a new set of challengers are introduced the following week to try to steal his title.
Last week, Oliver Fish took the crown for his handy way with a taser gun. This week we've got four new contenders vying for the throne: Three of them are coming out stories, the fourth involves a purloined kiss.
Check them out after the break, and vote for your favorite!

"They are far from over," an insider tells E! Online about the on-screen relationship between Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester on "Gossip Girl" season 3. "I don't see them breaking up this season at all," the insider continues talking about Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf on the hit CW show.
Hinting at the plot of upcoming episodes during the season, an onlooker claims there is a possibility that Blake Lively's Serena van der Woodsen will hook up with Aaron Tveit's Tripp Vanderbilt, the cousin of Chace Crawford's Nate Archibald. According to the onlooker, Blake and Aaron have been snapped filming their scenes for the show recently.
"Serena and Tripp run into each other at the elevator of Chuck's Empire Hotel and take the elevator together," the onlooker tells E! Online. Unfortunately, as of the press time, a spokesperson for CW has yet to give any clarification on the news.

He'll do anything to get what he wants - but is what he wants part of this game?
When we first heard about Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) kissing a guy on Gossip Girl, we called ratings stunt for sweeps. Whoops! We may have spoken a bit too soon there, because while it was certainly a stunt, it wasn’t for sweeps. And it fit the story completely.
For those of you who only tuned in to see Chuck Bass kiss a dude, you may have felt disappointed. For regular viewers, however, it was better writing than we’re used to seeing from the trashy little soap.
The plot's background is simple: star crossed lovers Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and Chuck Bass are finally together and free of the restrictions of high school. But as always, they have the best sex when they’re screwing someone else over.
You see, Blair...

So Gossip Girl confused the hell out of your boy last night, but a part of me is torn between my love of the show and the duty as a fan to call out its ‘flaws’. Character motivations and plot points were going all over the place last night, which is one of the flaws out of a slew of other ones. What were the other ones? Let me explain in recap mode.
The Freshman Toast Heard Around The World
Can I get a show of hands of those who are tired of Blair’s quest for sealing the position of Queen B?
So Blair’s latest quest for the Holy Grail of Status this week is to give the freshman toast at the annual Parent’s Weekend. But, as always, she has to crush someone to get it. The unlucky victim this week? Vanessa. But is Blair clairvoyant? Because she had a dream,...

Ed Westwick reportedly always gets inspired by Zac Efron's style every time he looks at new shots of the Vanessa Hudgens' boyfriend. Additionally, the "Gossip Girl" star is rumored expecting to compete against the "High School Musical" hottie to have muscular bodies.
"After seeing new pics of Zac in magazines, Ed's determined to get cut like him," a source close to the 22-year-old actor tells Life and Style. "Ed has no muscles or definition and really wants to improve his body."
Aside from his personal life, Ed Westwick is currently busy filming the third season of hit CW show "Gossip Girl". In certain scene for the show, he is obliged to share a same-sex kiss with Neal Bledsoe, who portrays Josh Ellis, a New York University's Head of Freshman Affairs.
Recently, Neal told EW that he didn't feel awkward making out with the depicter of Chuck Bass on the drama series.

"[It helped] that we got to know each other a little bit beforehand," Neal goes on detailing about the kissing scene. "And we certainly rehearsed it more than a few [times]. I would characterize it as a nice kiss."
In late August, it was announced that Neal Bledsoe would join the cast ensemble of "Gossip Girl" to appear on the sixth episode of the CW series' third season, which is scheduled to be premiered on September 14.

One of the posters that will be launched to promote the third season of "Gossip Girl" has been released. Unlike the ones outed last season that highlight on the amount of lust, nudity and passion, this one is more high-class type with Blair and Chuck wearing descent clothes and simply sitting during a luncheon.
The poster is actually taken from one of the scenes of episode 3.01 which is titled "Reversals of Fortune" and will air as season premiere on September 14. Blair and Chuck became a season finale closure in May when he let out the "I love you" two times to Blair.
The on-off couple will face their own challenge in the new season. Through the TV spot released earlier this month, The CW got viewers into thinking that Chuck still retains his playboy nature when a hot girl asks for a make out. Also, he may be fancying a...

Welcome to your Wednesday television briefing. E! Online's Jennifer Godwin has a look at what lies ahead for Fox's Dollhouse as she catches up with the Joss Whedon-created series' stars to get some dirt on what's going on inside the Dollhouse next season. "They have a connection," said Tahmoh Penikett of Echo and Paul Ballard next season. "It's not a physical attraction, but I hope it's something that we explore a lot more this season. You're not quite sure what it is. There's a past, there's a history, there's an understanding between them that's very different. I think the audience is really going to like it and be really curious about where we're going in the first few episodes." As for that other would-be couple, Sierra and Victor, Enver Gjokah said, "Sierra and Victor are definitely still involved. They're going to explore that relationship more. They explore the Sierra-and-Victor love as dolls,...

Chuck Bass is swinging to the other side. The chick magnet of "Gossip Girl", according to some of the show's insiders who inform Entertainment Weekly, has shot a scene where he was literally on another man's face, kissing.
On the other side of the kiss is actor Neal Bledeso who has been tapped for a guest starring role in episode 6 of the new season. His character is named Josh Ellis and he is the head of Nyu's freshman affairs. Blair, who is enrolling in the same university as Josh, wants something from him that she goes all the way to "pimp out" her boyfriend, Chuck, to the gay guy.
In the book the show is adapted from, Chuck indeed came out as a bisexual and eventually dated a guy named Greg. However, this would be the first time his homosexuality will be explored in the television series. EW teased that...

Ed Westwick wearing a James Dean shirt. Is that a clue to his Gossip Girl character?
It looks like despite the fact that Gossip Girl already has one gay character the show can't find any storylines for, the show's sixth episode is going to throw in a same-sex kiss between Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) and Josh Ellis (Neal Bledsoe). Perhaps not coincidentally, the episode might air just in time for this fall's sweeps period.
Hey, isn't that what God made lesbian kisses for?
The news of the potential smooch comes via Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello who says insiders told him the kiss was being filmed this week.
Fans of the Gossip Girl books know that the character of Chuck is bisexual, something which the show hasn't addressed thus far. The question here is whether the show is going to address it now, or if the rather cliched plot — Chuck's girlfriend...

Spotted: Chuck Bass sucking face with a dude! It's true! Multiple Gossip Girl insiders confirm to me exclusively that the CW phenom is currently shooting an episode for its upcoming third season in which Ed Westwick's legendary lothario kisses another man. So who's the lucky guy? And what are the circumstances surrounding the same-sex smooch? Keep reading for all the spoilery details... First things first: Sorry to disappoint, but no, it's not Chace Crawford. Westwick's "romantic" interest is up-and-comer Neal Bledsoe (CSI: NY, Guiding Light), who's guest-starring in episode 6 as Josh Ellis, Nyu's head of freshman affairs. Since Josh is tasked with selecting an incoming student for the honor of delivering the freshman speech, he's, shall we say, a person of interest to Blair. In fact, she's so determined to snag the slot that she goes so far as to pimp out her boyfriend to the gay guy in charge.
