Put away all of the scrunchies and the neon spandex. It looks like the Gossip Girl 80s-inspired spin-off is officially not happening.

According to this roundup from The Ausiello Files the new show that was supposed to star Brittany Snow and Kristen Ritter has been canned by the CW and will not appear in the fall lineup.

There have been rumors swirling around for some time that the spin-off would not get picked up by the network, but several fans were holding out hope that it might make it to the screen.

We got a preview of what was supposed to be the pilot of the new show in the Gossip Girl episode “Valley Girls” which featured flashbacks from Lily’s past. Apparently even the full-out 80s wardrobe and an appearance by supergroup No Doubt couldn’t save this sinking ship.

We have to admit that we are a little bit bummed by this development. It looked like the show did have some potential and I really do like both Brittany Snow and Kristen Ritter. Well, at least we know that Gossip Girl will be back in the fall with all of our favorite characters.

I’m not all that upset, I know Brittany will do bigger & better things in her career. Brittany herself wasn’t sure about taking on this role because she wanted to focus on her film career rather than a television career.

I’ve added captures from Brittany’s guest appearance on Gossip Girl last night. Videos to be added soon. I thought the episode was great! Brittany looked so pretty. What did everyone else think?? Previews and gallery link are below:

With Brittany’s episode of “Gossip Girl” being less than a week away there is now a preview for her episode. Watch below:

I’ve added new pictures of Brittany at the T-Mobile G1 Tone-Def After Party in Coachella Valley & at “An Evening With Women” Celebrating Art, Music, & Equality. I also added some great “Gossip Girl” Stills from her upcoming episode – thanks so much to Qua for them! Previews & gallery links are below:

Brittany Snow looks a little spooked in this new promo shot from the CW’s Gossip Girl via SpoilerTV.

In the episode, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) contemplates Rufus’ (Matthew Settle) marriage proposal, periodic flashbacks from 20 years ago show a young Lily Rhodes (Snow) pursing a young Rufus. This makes Lily torn between leaving behind her posh and wealthy lifestyle in New York, and a prospective marriage proposal from the wealthy Keith van der Woodsen (Matt Barr), or choosing to live a life of lower classes with the penniless musician Rufus Humphrey.

“Valley Girls” airs Monday, May 11 @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
