Oh, it is hot! And even though I was totally Team Serena when it started, watching the set over again, I can totally see why Blair was so miffed with her BFF. Ho slept with her man before she could! That ain’t right.Makes Me Wish For…Jack & Bobby, the WB’s time-jumping tale of two brothers, one of whom would go on to be Pres, the other who wouldn’t go on at all. Soo good. So,...
