In an upcoming episode of the new season of Gossip Girl, actor Ed Westwick's character Chuck is going to have a same-sex kiss with a gay man.

But apparently the whole thing is just a cruel ruse by Chuck’s almost-girlfriend Blair to somehow seduce the gay guy so he will choose her to give a speech to the freshman class at NYU, according to examiner.com.

This comes after months of speculation about the relationship between Ed Westwick and co-star Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) who were allegedly seen kissing on set, MTV.co.uk reports.
