Hopefully this isn’t just a rumor.

Pssst…. Brittany Snow is returning to television!

In December, Star exclusively reported that a Gossip Girl spin-off was in the works focusing on Lily van der Woodsen’s scandalous teen years growing up in 1980s Los Angeles. Now we can be the first to tell you that the American Dreams actress has been cast in the lead role.

“Brittany is thrilled,” a friend of the actress tells Star. “She loves the original show and thinks the 1980′s concept sets the spin-off apart from other series on television. She can’t wait to wear all the fabulous outfits and really sink her teeth into the role.”

Brittany — who has also appeared in movies including Hairspray and John Tucker Must Die — was the top choice for producers, who thought she would be the perfect choice to for the part of young Lily, played on Gossip Girl by Kelly Rutherford. Although the deal has not yet been finalized, they made Brittany a terrific offer in early February without having her audition, reveals the friend.

“Brittany always thought she was going to continue her career in films,” continues the insider. “But this is a marvelous part and she just couldn’t say no. This has the potential to be a huge show in the tradition of Melrose Place.”

The pilot will air on May 11 as a Gossip Girl episode.

I’m soooo excited!! I was hoping Brittany would do another tv show. I loved her on American Dreams & I can’t wait to see her weekly on tv again! Go Britt!

Sorry about the lack of updates. I’m just getting over a bad cold. 4 clips from Brittany’s movie “The Vicious Kind” have been released, you can watch them here. I will be adding the clips to our video archive soon. The movie looks good, I can’t wait to see it! I’ve added some recent new pictures of Brittany to the gallery. Previews and gallery links are below:

Every so often, we see a film at Sundance that shows us actors we had previously dismissed in a wondrous new light — like when 2007’s Smiley Face made us completely reconsider our opinion of Anna Faris. One of the main contenders for this year’s where-the-hell-did-that-performance-come-from? award is Brittany Snow — yes, the chick from Prom Night — who pretty much takes over Lee Toland Krieger’s twisted family drama The Vicious Kind, and never looks back.

The film is about a young man (Alex Frost) bringing his girlfriend (guess who) back home for Thanksgiving, and the chaos that erupts when his wiseass older brother (Adam Scott), reeling from a breakup of his own, becomes fascinated with her. As the raven-haired object of desire, Snow has to convey an impossible variety of impressions: Is she the conniving and adulterous vixen the older brother claims she is (and secretly wants her to be)? Or the angelic beauty the younger brother thinks he knows? And what does her character even think of all this attention? And yet, for all that, it’s a relatively understated performance: Snow manages to display all this range without ever seeming showy — we can see how one ordinary person can give off completely different vibes to different people. And we can’t take our eyes off her. Good job, Brittany Snow. Can you please stop making crap horror flicks now?
