Elizabeth Hurley Lands 'Gossip Girl' Role

Elizabeth Hurley will join the upcoming fifth season of Gossip Girl, TV Line reports.

The 46-year-old British actress will appear as Diana Payne in a multi-episode arc, “a sexy, smart, self-made media mogul and all-around force to be reckoned with,” according to executive producers Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran.

“Diana’s entrance on the Upper East Side will change the lives of all our characters – including, and especially Gossip Girl herself,” the two also hinted.

“Elizabeth‘s sense of humor, intelligence and beauty fit the GG world perfectly. We feel very fortunate to have her,” Stephanie and Joshua added.
