I have never watched "Gossip Girl" before, but I'm almost embarrassed to say how turned on I was when I saw one of its stars over the weekend in the trailer for the new film, "The Stepfather."

Answer: Change the main character from a teenage girl to a teenage boy, cast "Gossip" heartthrob Penn Badgley in the role and then keep him in a tank top or shirtless throughout most of the movie.
And all this time I thought Hollywood didn't know what it was doing. See for yourself below:
