'Gossip Girl' and 'Heroes' Fight for Attention

Network television is pushing the boundaries this season in an attempt to score ratings.

We already told you about the upcoming Gossip Girl storyline involving Ed Westwick's Chuck Bass locking lips with a guy.

Now comes word that in an upcoming episode of the CW drama will feature a threesome.

According to EW.com, the episode will air on Nov. 9 and will have three characters in the same bed, at the same time.

If that’s not an OMFG moment, I don’t know what is.

Which three will be getting down and dirty is the real question. The obvious choice would be Chuck, his girlfriend Blair Waldorf, and Neil; the head of freshman affairs at NYU and the guy Bass shares a kiss with on Oct. 19.

If you can’t wait a few weeks for some racy smallscreen action, tune into Heroes next Monday. Hayden Panettiere’s character, Claire, will have a make out scene with her college roommate, Gretchen, played by Madeline Zima.

NBC released a photo of the two ladies smooching on Wednesday in hopes of improving the show’s ratings. Heroes hit a new low, pulling in just 5.4 million viewers on Monday, finishing next-to-last in the timeslot.

Whatever extra male eyeballs Heroes might attract next week, we're guessing it won’t be enough to overtake House, Dancing With The Stars or How I Met Your Mother and Accidentally On Purpose in the timeslot.
