“Has Jessica Szohr traded a Gossip guy for a Green Bay Packer?” asks EOnline, which goes on to claim that “since splitting with her costar Ed Westwick, Jessica has been linked to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.”

The site notes how they’ve been spotted at dinners and even “sitting together courtside at a Milwaukee Bucks game this month.”

So, is Szohr dating the Super Bowl’s winning quarterback?

A rep for the “Gossip Girl” star says, “They are not dating,” adding that Szohr has met and hung out with Rodgers just a few times.

As for why Szohr has been seen at a few Green Bay Packers games, simply the actress is from Wisconsin – and a fan of the Super Bowl champs.

Gossip Cop will continue to keep an eye on the two as they both play the field.

Several media outlets are claiming that party planners are upset with “Gossip Girl” star Jessica Szohr for bailing on an event in Chicago, where she was flown for an all-expenses paid weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel during the Lollapalooza festival.

According to reports, in exchange for the freebie weekend, all Szohr had to do was show up to a Belvedere Nights party. She’s now being attacked for not attending the event in favor of spending some alone time with on-and-off beau Ed Westwick.

However, Gossip Cop has exclusively obtained an e-mail sent by a party planner inviting Szohr to Chicago, and not once does it request that she attend any events whatsoever.

The e-mail asks Szohr if she and a guest have “any interest in going to Lollapalooza” since there is “a budget to fly people out, put them up for the weekend, get them VIP tickets etc…”

That’s it.

No mention of the Belvedere event – or any other.

In fact, it was news to Szohr and her team that her participation was expected. It’s not entirely out of the ordinary for celebrities to be offered trips, no strings attached, as promoters seek to be linked with stars.

At the end of the day, we’re told Szohr ended up picking up her own tab without any arguments.

Sounds like the weekend was far tamer than an episode of “Gossip Girl.”

The real-life love story of Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr could give the “Gossip Girl” characters a run for their money.

After a messy breakup, an attempt at being friends, and a flurry of wrong rumors, the duo has raised eyebrows yet again.

The latest gossip claims the two have reconciled, since they were spotted all over each other at Lollapalooza last weekend.

But reports of full-fledged coupledom are a little premature, Gossip Cop has learned.

“Things are moving in the right direction,” says a source close to Szohr, who acknowledged the pair had problems, but says “they are hanging out,” and working on “moving past it.”

“Ed Westwick Wants Ex-GF Jessica Szohr Off ‘Gossip Girl,’” screams a headline on HollywoodLife.

The site bottom feeds a rumor floated by the New York Post, which claims the cast isn’t hanging out that much anymore with Szohr – though they’re all filming the show’s fourth season now – because of her split with Westwick.

“Ed has really alienated Jessica from the rest of the cast,” HollywoodLife quotes an unnamed source as saying.

How so?

Szohr has allegedly been missing from two recent social outings, including co-star Chace Crawford‘s birthday party, because Westwick is still “heartbroken and wants nothing to do with her.”

And though the source never actually says Westwick wants her off the show – which HollywoodLife claims – it’s noted that “Ed doesn’t want to be around her.”

Really?

Hmm.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the couple have remained pals despite their breakup, and have been spotted hanging out together numerous times, like friends often do.

The real reason Szhor missed the two New York events was that the actress was in L.A., working on the film, Hirokin.

And oh yeah, Szhor’s rep tells Gossip Cop that the “Gossip Girl” star went out with her co-stars earlier this week – something both HollywoodLife and the Post failed to mention – and that she’ll be at the premiere of Crawford’s film, Twelve, tonight.

Maybe the writers at HollywoodLife should work on “Gossip Girl,” because they’re much better at fiction than reporting.

Careful, ladies.

Sitting in a car can be construed as dating.

Or at least that’s Perez Hilton‘s theory.

The bad blogger writes that “Gossip Girl” stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were seen “getting cozy yesterday afternoon in London.”

The duo broke up in April and Gossip Cop confirmed last month that they weren’t back together even though they were spotted hanging out.

And now the speculation has returned after widely circulated photos showed the pair separately signing autographs for fans and then sitting in a car.

“They looked pretty in love to them!” Hilton continues. “Guess they haven’t split up….yet!”

So have they or haven’t they?

Gossip Cop checked with a source close to Westwick, who maintains “they are NOT back together.”

Stay tuned.

Are two “Gossip Girl” stars rekindling a real-life romance that had been put on hold?

That’s the rumor after Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were photographed on Wednesday shopping together at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Back in April, Gossip Cop confirmed that the couple had split amid talk of indiscretions. But after two were spotted this week hand in hand and looking friendly, speculation returned that they’re now on again.

But don’t be too ready to call them a couple.

A source close to Westwick tells Gossip Cop, “they’re definitely not back together” as of now, but adds that they’ve recently been texting each other and could reunite when “Gossip Girl” resumes filming in July and the duo sees more of each other.

As they say in TV, stay tuned…

There seems to be even more drama off the set of “Gossip Girl” than on the show itself.

According to a scoop in the New York Post‘s Page Six column, ”Gossip Girl” stars and real-life lovers Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr have broken up after Westwick heard from pals that she cheated on him.

The paper reveals Szohr got a little too close to one of Westwick’s buddies while she was recently celebrating her 25th birthday in L.A. and he was away filming a movie in Europe.

When mutual friends squealed to Westwick about her alleged hook-up, he “split with Szohr in an emotional phone call last week,” reports Page Six.

The story goes on to note, “She’s been begging Ed to take her back, but he is deeply hurt. He can’t believe that she carried on this way with one of his friends.” 

Gossip Cop looked into the allegations and… confirms it’s true.

A source close to Westwick tells Gossip Cop, “They’re done.”

The Westwick confidante says Szohr flew to London to salvage the relationship, but “Ed wanted no part of it. She cheated on him… They’re done.”

A Szohr source, however, claims that while the actress and Westwick “are fighting,” they’re not through quite yet.

Not so, counters the Westwick insider, who reiterates, “It’s over!”

A rep for Westwick said, “I have no comment.” And Szohr’s rep would only say these reports have “no merit.”

It should get pretty interesting when the two return to the set in July.

Is “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick “getting ready to propose to his co-star girlfriend, Jessica Szohr?” That’s what HollywoodLife asks before exclaiming, “He is ready to buy her a house and live with her!”

The site goes on to say that at last night’s Cosmopolitan magazine “Fun Fearless Male Awards” in New York, Westwick “confessed” he was going to earn “some money and then buy a nice house for [Jessica]!”

Not so fast…

Westwick far from “confessed.” A source on the scene tells Gossip Cop that the young star was not only joking but also specified that if it did happen, it would be far, far off in the future.

“It’s not happening anytime soon. It’s way too early,” reiterated the source.

Gossip Cop wishes HollywoodLife hadn’t played around with the facts about Westwick and Szohr playing house.

It’s not that we mind answering all of Perez Hilton‘s questions, it’s just that we hope one day he’ll start doing so himself.

“Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr on the Rocks?” the blogger asks, lifting a weak In Touch Weekly item that claims the Gossip Girl co-stars’ real-life romance is on the skids. The story makes reference to Szohr being in tears on set and an evening Westwick spent without her at the Melrose Bar & Grill in Los Angeles.

“Looks like the showmance could be coming to an end!” Perez proclaims.

Cute wordplay. Poor “reporting.”

The couple is doing just fine.

A source close to Szohr tells Gossip Cop rumors of unrest are “absolutely false.”

What’s more, a rep for Westwick even told us the couple would be attending the Super Bowl in Miami together this Sunday.

We look forward to Perez “scooping” everyone by announcing the game’s winner… sometime in March.

One of Britain’s biggest celebrities might be hitting New York’s Upper East Side. Speculation is swirling that Victoria Beckham is set to appear on “Gossip Girl.” There are even supposed details that Beckham will play Ed Westwick‘s character’s long-lost mother.

But reports that the former Spice Girl has signed on to the CW show are premature. At this stage “it has not been confirmed” a spokeswoman for the network tells Gossip Cop. Numerous calls to Beckham’s camp have yet to be returned.

That said, there’s hope a guest spot will be arranged. Beckham has admitted in the past to being a huge fan of the series.

Gossip Cop will keep you updated as the story develops.

The week began with “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart spotted together all over Los Angeles, most notably taking in concerts and hanging out at hotels. Gossip Cop then busted a silly Star story that said Stewart was in a love triangle with Pattinson and co-star Taylor Lautner. But the most absurd RPatz rumor of the week had him engaged to a mystery woman. Controversy erupted later when Jennie Garth, the wife of “Twilight” star Peter Facinelli, allegedly leaked that Pattinson and Stewart were dating. Gossip Cop got to the bottom of the story and revealed that the New York Daily News had made up a quote implying the romantic reality of ‘Robsten.’ We also had a bit about a possible role for Patttinson, given to us by director Brett Ratner.

“Twilight” co-star Ashley Greene also got herself some publicity this week, both from leaked naked photos and for pictures of her making out with “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford en route to LAX airport.

Gossip Cop also had hysterical footage of Crawford and “Gossip Girl” co-star Ed Westwick dealing with a pesky paparazzo’s ridiculous questions when they arrived at JFK airport in New York.

This week Gossip Cop had an exclusive from Lindsay Lohan that, contrary to reports, gal pal Samantha Ronson did not stage an intervention to force the “Mean Girls” star into counseling. Lohan told Gossip Cop that story was “incorrect.”

Jessica Simpson was the subject of a series of absurd stories in Star this week. One had her dating ex-boyfriend Tony Romo’s rival quarterback, Colt Brennan of the Washington Redskins. But the piece that really triggered a war between Simpson and the tabloid was an article claiming that she was going to write a tell-all about past romances, and that her dad was trying to peddle the book for $5 million. The story was complete nonsense, and Gossip Cop exclusively got its hands on a letter from Simpson’s lawyer demanding a retraction from the Star.

Gossip Cop also pointed out a ludicrous story in which the National Enquirer said Kirstie Alley had only four more years to live. Alley thanked us on Twitter for our story.

Reports had Britney Spears engaged. Not true. And Gossip Cop also corrected a story this week that Spears’ ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake was moving to Connecticut. Instead, we had footage of Timberlake being harassed by the paparazzi in Los Angeles, where he, um… lives.

George Clooney is no fan of the paparazzi, specifically an Italian photographer, whom he’s suing for climbing onto his property in Lake Como and taking invasive pictures, including one of a friend’s 13-year-old daughter changing in one of his villa’s bedrooms.

We were happy to confirm that “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert was helping winner Kris Allen with songs for his upcoming album. And in other “Idol” chatter, we corrected reports that had Victoria Beckham taking on full-time judging duties on the hit show.

Gossip Cop covered the Teen Choice Awards with red-hot red carpet photos and footage of Robert Pattinson having a “hairy” time. Like any good rumor cop, we also polled readers about Miley Cyrus’ pole dancing at the show. Speaking of Cyrus, Gossip Cop put to rest rumors that she would star in the “Sex and the City” sequel.

And what would a week be without Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie dish? Despite the incessant rumors of a break-up, Gossip Cop had an array of photos showing the couple happy together at the Hollywood premiere of “Inglourious Basterds.”

Gossip Cop is all set for another week of busting bad dish!

Just Jared was just wrong when it came to a story about an alleged bar brawl between “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick and fellow British thespian Toby Hemingway during a birthday celebration for JC Chasez in Hollywood.

The blog had a source saying, “Toby started choking Ed,” without giving any other details - like what the fictitious fight was about. It only noted that Westwick’s “Gossip Girl” co-star “Chace Crawford had to pull them apart.” (Crawford also starred alongside Hemingway in the film, “The Covenant.”)

The story has two problems – namely, Hemingway and Westwick, who didn’t spend much time at the party. Hemingway’s side said the supposed incident was “not true.” But what about Westwick, who was reportedly choked? You would think his side would owe nothing to alleged aggressor Hemingway, but instead his rep also said that there was “no such fight.”

In fact, the two guys are really good pals who, at best, may have been playing around.
