Different Coast, Same Bitchin’ ’Tude

Katie Cassidy may stop licking her wounds over the demise of the Melrose Place reboot: The CW still wants her.

The actress has scored a multi-episode arc on Gossip Girl.

Spotted: A new bitch, arriving (well-healed, natch) in town, ready to up the drama for Serena & Co.

Cassidy will play a student at Columbia and a love interest for fellow undergrad Nate (Chace Crawford) who “will make trouble” for several Upper East Siders because she’s so not what she seems.
