Actress and singer Hillary Duff will be joining the cast of Gossip Girl. She will play Olivia Burke, a famous movie star who attends New York University in order to have a normal college experience. Blair(Leighton Meester), Dan(Penn Badgley) and Vanessa(Jessica Szohr) have all been accepted to NYU and Olivia will be Vanessa's roommate.
As a member of the Gossip Girl cast, Duff will surely have her fair share of drama. Will she befriend her new roommate Vanessa? Will she get along with Blair? And who will be her romantic interest, Dan perhaps?
Hillary Duff will be on multiple episodes beginning with the fourth episode of the new season on October 5.
