Gossip Girl Birthday Ball Season Three: The Aftermath

On the Upper East Side, it's easy to think that the world is exactly as it appears. Refined, elegant, imposing. But sometimes, all it takes is a little alcohol to open the door to the wild side.

The birthday ball has ended, and are you ready for the 411 on what's up and who went down?

Word is the boy from Brooklyn finally made it to the East. Who knew G would learn the trick so quickly: to get over a guy, you need a new guy. Or in this case, two.

Looks like the virgin blogger isn't as pure as he pretends to be. Who's your Daddy, G? Talk about doing the nasty, or should I say, being nasty.

And as for AA, you left Manila a star, but with your exploits last Saturday, you landed back a supernova.

Spotted: a very drunk AA sleeping in the halls of the Palace hotel. Looks like you didn't disappoint the tabloids after all. Talk about almost being locked up in jail.

Oh no. We warned you no good would come from such a temper. You just get all tangled up in your anger. Until you're trapped in a prison of your own making. Smile for the camera AA.

And in the other side of the room: Spotted RC: faced with a reversal of fortune after switching roles. Who knew wearing a mask would bring out his other side? A top or a bottom to be: is that the face or the mask I see?

Like all good things, the masquerade ball must come to an end. True natures are revealed. And for some, tricks are turned into treats. Like our birthday boy K.

Happy birthday K. Word is the debutante debuted a prince. And made K's birthday dream come true.

But too bad for K, when morning comes, reality intrudes and the dream begins to slip away. And all you have left are the memories.

So dream a little dream of me.

Gossip Girl Birthday Ball Season Three: Preview

In Manila, some parties are open to everyone. Others are semi-private. But the most coveted of all are those that are strictly VIP.

With only a couple of days left, the talk of the town is who's in and who's out in this year's list. From BFFS to FBFs to NFFs, ex GF and ex BFs, everyone's just dying to get in.

For the uninitiated to the complicated world of masquerade balls, the rules are simple: Pretend you're well-bred, be polite, and the most important of all, choose your escort wisely.

Who knows when a hand on the hip can lead to a knife in the back.

But what's a party without a scandal? Wonder who will make it to the top of my list this time around. Here's a rundown of the possible contenders:

Spotted: Exiled Queen and BFF AA rushing to catch the last plane out of China. Is he bringing good tidings? Or are we in for a nasty ending? Looks like K is in for a surprise.

Word is reticent blogger R is making his first public appearance at the ball. Do we sound the trumpets, strumpets?

And as for V, looks like the chase is on for C . So is it true that third time's the charm or is it strike three and you're out?

But let's not forget birthday boy K. Word is he may have an escort to the ball, after all. Better put on that lip gloss ladies. Looks like you'll be kissing his ring by the end of the night.

But be careful K, we heard this one has got excess baggage. Lots of it. Hope you learned your lesson from the last time.

So thank God it's almost Friday, but Upper East Siders, we all know weekends were never meant for sleeping. So put your best mask on and let the games… begin!

Gossip Girl Birthday Ball Season Three

Hey Upper Eastsiders! Summer's scorching but the one thing everyone's dying for is the annual Gossip Girl Birthday Ball. And it looks like the mask is the accessory du jour.

So, will there be a case of a mistaken identity? They say people use masks to conceal who they are, but what happens when the masks come off and everyone shows their true color?

Beware, heed the words of a king: Look like an angel, talk like an angel, the devil in disguise.
