I refer, of course, to that singular bane of male existence, “Gossip Girl.” Since making the jump to the small screen last fall, Cecily von Ziegesar’s series of novels has ensnared a whole new audience in its pernicious spell.

They are a couple destined to be together and their love realizes the theme...

In this catchy song with sparse and snappy production—reminiscent of The Dream’s “Shawty Is Da Shit”—Pain promises things to his girl that make T.I.’s gifts in “Whatever You Like” look juvenile. The enjoyable tracks continue with “Therapy,” “Long Lap Dance,” and “Reality Show.” Light and bouncy beats...
