"Gossip Girl" is the Pop "O.C."

According to Billboard, CW's 'Gossip Girl' Brings More Hits To TV. It's the next big thing from "The OC" creators, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.

And once again, Alexandra Patsavas will be the musical supervisor. But don't expect Dan Deacon or Deerhunter to be playing showcases at the Peach Pit or the Bait Shop, or whatever they're going to call it in the new show:

"What 'The OC' did for indie rock, we'd like 'Gossip Girl' to do for pop," she says. The pilot episode of "Gossip Girl" spotlights music by Rihanna, the Mooney Suzuki, Hanson, Amy Winehouse, Angels & Airwaves and others.

I'm sure Rihanna could use a little more exposure.
