LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Spotted: Little J and Mystery Man!
“Gossip Girl’s” Chuck and Nate better make room for another guy on the Upper East Side, because Canadian native Kevin Zegers is joining the CW series, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
The 25-year-old actor will play Jenny Humphrey’s (Taylor Momsen) love interest in multi-episode arc.
The actor, who was seen in “Transamerica” and “Dawn of The Dead,” will start shooting next week in New York City.
Kevin is also slated to star alongside Hilary Duff – who will also be appearing on “Gossip” this season – in 2010’s “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.”
The introduction of Zegers’ character could be a sign of a revived storyline for Little J, who has been lacking in her usual high drama and big city high jinks. Fans will fondly remember last season’s Little J highlights that included: running away from home to be a guerilla fashion designer and kissing her brother’s best friend, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford).
