First Nate doesn't call at midnight, and now this!

Dear Internet: Again, with the lies about the stars of The Most Important Show of Our Time (thank you, New York magazine)!

A 'Gossip Girl' dropout - or did Leighton Meester push her out?

Is it redundant to say the "Gossip Girl" set is just like high school?

The hit CW show about privileged private scholars has resumed shooting in the city for season two. But one person who isn't back is actress Nan Zhang (she's the one on the left), who played sidekick Kati Farkas.

Series creator Josh Schwartz said two weeks ago that Zhang enrolled in Brown University during the writers' strike and "didn't tell anyone on the show." But sources tell me the real reason for her sudden departure was her failure to get along with breakout star Leighton Meester.

"She was pushed off the show," says a snitch. "Leighton didn't like her, and she went."

The appearance of a new Asian actress on the set last week suggested that Zhang may have been replaced. But another insider says the Kati character has been written out.

"Jenny [played by Taylor Momsen] has a new group of random bitchy girls as friends," said the source, explaining why Kati's close pal Isabel (played by Nicole Fiscella, on the right) remains in the picture.

Says the show's rep: "I think [Zhang] may have had another opportunity come up, but I know she was big into school. She was really sweet, but she went back to school."

Was there any tension with the Meester-meister?

"Absolutely not true," said Meester's personal rep.

I'm pretty sure I had all kinds of witty retorts for this, but attributing all this crap took so much focus that I forgot it all.

So I'll just go with, OMG STOP TRYING TO MAKE BLAIR A BITCH! And happy birthday, Leighton Meester! Jesus, Internet.

Also, Meester-meister? The fuck?
