The evidence supporting the fact that Penn Badgley was indeed behind the "Gossip Girl" account is shaky at best. From fans to cast members, nobody was totally sold on the idea that his character Dan Humphrey ghostwrote the often-damning text messages and blog posts on the CW soap opera, which premiered in 2007. In a video chat for Variety's Actors on Actors issue, Badgley and Chace Crawford revealed new information that weakens the case.
OK, so this isn't really about Humphrey, it's about Badgley's own technology habits. But fans of Gossip Girl will find it fascinating nonetheless.
