Chace Crawford sports a new haircut as he gets back to work on the New York City set of Gossip Girl on Monday (June 29).

According to EW, the 23-year-old actor will have a love interest in a few upcoming episodes. Joanna Garcia of CW's axed Privileged has signed on to play Bree Buckley, a 'Miss America-type' from a conservative Southern family. She'll start appearing in the season premiere.

Last Thursday, Chace attended Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball in London when news broke out that Michael Jackson died after suffering a cardiac arrest. Recalling the moment, Chace said, "It was like an instant viral just spread. It just instantly changed the energy of the party."

I loved Privileged, I wish that was returning but I guess having her on GG will have to do.
