Though The Hollywood Reporter said earlier this morning that producers of the CW's hit show, Gossip Girl, are planning a spinoff series, it looks like that might have been a premature announcement.

THR reported that producers of our favorite TV addiction are either planning to give Jenny Humphrey (played by 14-year-old actress Taylor Momsen) her own series, or introduce a new character who will be given their own spinoff. However, Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz told E! Online:

"Not sure how this got out there, but no plans for spinoff at this moment. The books do have a spinoff, but we have nothing in the works right now other than making sure season two gets off to a great start."

Additionally, a source at the CW also told E! Online, "If the second season does as well as we expect it to, then we'll probably try to make it happen."

Hmmm, that's definitely a denial, but a pretty vague one if you ask us! There is still hope for a spinoff, it just may not happen as soon as we expected.

In the Gossip Girl books, Jenny embarrasses herself by doing a risque shoot for a teen magazine, among other things. After realizing that she has basically ruined her reputation and any shot at popularity, Jenny switches to a different private school and goes on to become the queen bee at her new campus. Jenny's story is told in six spinoff novels called The It Girl. Perhaps some new drama with Jenny is something we can look forward to this fall?
