With season 4 premiering on Monday, September 13th, US Magazine has counted down the show’s top 10 moments that made you say “OMG!”

10. Queen B Dethroned
As Blair (Leighton Meester) deals with a nasty pregnancy rumor, her clique gives her the cold shoulder upon learning that she cheated on her boyfriend Nate (Chace Crawford) with his best friend Chuck (Ed Westwick).

9. Return of Mr. van der Woodsen
After Serena (Blake Lively) combed through Europe searching for her father (William Baldwin), he resurfaces to treat her mother’s cancer. One catch? He’s more interested in rekindling things with his ex-wife, who’s currently married to Rufus (Matthew Settle).

8. Jenny Dates a Drug Dealer
Careful, Little J! When Jenny (Taylor Momsen) begins dating drug-dealer Damien (Kevin Zegers) behind her father’s back, the troubled teen soon begins peddling drugs herself.

7. Chuck and Blair’s Limo Lust
After Blair seduces Chuck with a sexy striptease at the burlesque nightclub Victrola, the two — finally! — hook up in a limo on their way home.

6. College Catfight
Hell hath no fury like a frenemy scorned! When Yale University courts Serena, Blair thinks her BFF is stealing her dream. Her response? A full-on girl fight at a university-sponsored party, shocking the Yale administration.

5. Three’s a Crowd
Fearing they’re missing out on the college experience, Olivia (Hilary Duff) hatches a plan with Dan (Penn Badgley) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) to have a threesome. One problem: after the deed is done, Dan develops feelings for Vanessa, creating a messy love triangle.

4. Murder Mystery
When Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) returns to the Upper East Side and begins to torment Serena, Blair confronts her nervous BFF — and got the most shocking news of Season 2. “I killed someone,” Serena reveals coldly.

(Actually, it was S1 and Serena was a hot mess when she told Blair, Chuck and Nate. I wouldn’t say she was “cold” about it.)

3. Lil’ J Jumps into Bed with Chuck
A vulnerable and misguided Jenny calls losing her virginity to Chuck (who tried to rape her three years ago) “a mistake” after her supposed paramour does the deed and runs back to Blair in season three.

2. Gossiping for Two
Baby on board! Trachtenberg’s Georgina Sparks returned to the CW series in a big way — announcing on the third season finale she is pregnant — with Dan’s baby.

1. Bullet Wounds
Could a single shot silence Chuck Bass for good? In the final moments of season three’s finale, Chuck was cornered in an alley as thieves attempted to steal the engagement sparkler he’d intended to give Blair — that is, until she found out he slept with Jenny!

OMFG, what happened to the “Gossip Girl” buzz?

The CW series about the upper East Side’s most privileged is well into its third season, and despite guest stars like Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff and “controversial” story lines like Chuck Bass’ guy-on-guy kiss, the show that was once on the tip of everyone’s tongue now seems to be in the back of their minds.

And as any teenager knows, no buzz is bad news.

“The silence is deafening,” Syracuse University Prof. Robert Thompson, a popculture expert, told The News. “‘Gossip Girl’ was like Twitter – when people first discovered it, they couldn’t stop talking about it. But the enchantment has worn off.”

CW officials say nothing is wrong. They cite the show’s steady ratings and the fact that it remains their No. 1 series in the coveted demo of females ages 18 to 34.

“‘Gossip Girl’ remains an incredibly valuable franchise for both the network and our parent companies,” said a spokesman for the network. The show, he added, “has made an indelible impact on popular culture and remains one of the most powerful brands on television, and a signature show for the CW.”

But Thompson says the network should be worried, because “buzz is like a Dow Jones Industrial Average, an indicator of things to come.”

It’s not unusual for interest in a series to level off as newer shows crop up. Let’s be honest, the “Rachel” wasn’t a popular haircut for “Friends’” entire run.

But where there was once an “OMFG” on the side of every bus, there’s now a “Vampire Diaries” ad. And because “Gossip Girl” catapulted into pop culture entirely on the back of its buzzworthiness – who is Gossip Girl? What was that song? Who makes those shoes S was rocking? – when magazines and blogs would rather pay attention to the Kardashians and Gosselins, the series is left with nothing going for it but its plot, and that might not be such a good thing.

“It’s getting a little long in the tooth,” Thompson said. “The premise of the show was so interesting and exciting in the beginning, but this season’s story lines don’t seem to be clicking. It’s not like if you watch an episode this season, you can say that it’s fundamentally worse than it was last season – it just doesn’t seem to have the shelf life of other programming.”

AOL Television’s Maggie Furlong said that even if the series’ actors land in the tabloids or on a magazine cover – Chace Crawford was recently on the cover of People, and the CW folks said there are four upcoming covers – they aren’t as much of a draw as they used to be.

“They’re no longer that interesting,” said Furlong, whose story about “Gossip Girl”-inspired Halloween costumes garnered only one comment from readers. “That would have never happened a year ago. Now everyone wants to argue about the Gosselins instead.”

Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass have always had a very passionate and tumultuous relationship on “Gossip Girl.” With season two ending with Chuck traveling the world to collect treasures for Blair to prove he cares for her, it does seem that, at least for now, these two are trying to make it work.

“I mean, that’s pretty romantic. I think he knows now what he wants. They’re done with high school, so any drama associated with that is sort of gone,” Leighton Meester (a.k.a. Blair) told MTV News. “I mean, I think I’m pretty satisfied with what happened. I was really happy when I knew they kind of ended up together at the end of this season.”

The post-collegiate high school students of “Gossip Girl” made it through their second season Monday night — and, for most of them, their senior year — with a graduation ceremony, a couple of parties and a shower of nasty revelations (old news to us but fresh to the general population of Constance Billiard/St. Jude’s) that had no effect at all on anyone’s social standing.

The low-rated but pop-culturally potent CW series is the Tiffany of teenage soaps, an absurdly eventful drama with a magazine-cover cast that dresses romantic striving and the occasional naughty thrill in high-fashion threads and excellent Manhattan locations. Like most shows about high school, or at least the ones that feature actors old enough that we don’t mind watching them pretend to have sex (with each other, and with adults), it is not about high school so much as a state of being, a world of new experiences its viewers are either living through, looking forward to, or nostalgic for. • Read full story…
