You decide:

Kelly and Whitney

Kelly Rutherford & Whitney Port

The failed/shelved Gossip Girl spinoff had actress Brittany Snow playing young Lily in the 80s… but she just wasn’t believable and seemed like a completely different character. There was no connection whatsoever between that spinoff and Gossip Girl. Which is why I’d love to petition to recast the part of young Lily and give the part to Whitney Port! Hey, why not give it a spin?! haha.. I know I know, Whitney’s not a ‘real’ actress… she’s on reality tv. But come on, MTV reality shows are pretty much scripted anyway.

I loved the concept of the Gossip Girl spin off, and seeing more of Lily and Rufus when they were younger, but I just didn’t like Britney Snow as Lily Bass. Not only did her acting not match the character, she totally reminds me of the olsen twins… right? It’s so distracting!
