Chuck Lives!

Ok, we've known for awhile now that Chuck (played by Ed Westwick) didn't really die at the end of the last season, unless this is some really elaborate dream sequence.

And thank goodness for that because what would Gossip Girl be without Chuck's sneers, his plots, and most importantly, his ties?

Here's Ed wearing an appropriately outlandish one while shooting in NYC (while the girls get to play in Paris) with Kelly Rutherford yesterday.

Can you even wait for it to come back on the air?
