Penn Badgley bored with ‘Gossip Girl,’ not friends with castmates

Penn Badgley says he’s tired of filming CW’s “Gossip Girl,” and he and girlfriend Blake Lively are “not friends” with co-stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr. “It is what it is,” Badgley told us at Cipriani Wall Street. “It’s the fourth season. It’s become routine.” As for Westwick and Szohr — who recently reunited after a brief breakup — Badgley said, “Good for them.” We won’t see the rekindled couple out with Badgley and Lively: “We’re not friends. I mean we just don’t double date.” Badgley partied at the Hennessy Artistry concert featuring The Roots, Q-Tip, Daniel Merriweather, Erykah Badu, Eve and Mike Posner. “I love Q-Tip,” he said. On the other side of the VIP area, Selita Ebanks, featured in Kanye West‘s “Runaway” video, lounged with Kat Deluna. She dismissed rumors of a romance with West: “It’s just because of the video that people think we’re together. I’m dating my career.”
