Hilary Duff: Gossip Girl Gorgeous

Hilary Duff turns up bright and early for her first day on the set of Gossip Girl on Monday (August 3) in New York City.

The 21-year-old singer/actress will have a multi-episode arc playing Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). Olivia will be the new love interest for Dan (Penn Badgley).

Over the weekend, it was announced that Tyra Banks will also join the GG cast, playing an actress co-starring in a film with Olivia.

FYI: Hilary is carrying around the 2006 Jodi Piccoult book, “The Pact: A Love Story (P.S.).”
