Look out, Blair: Ex-Melrose Place vamp Katie Cassidy is relocating to Manhattan.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Cassidy — who was arguably the best thing about last season’s ill-fated Melrose reboot — is staying in the CW fold with a multi-episode arc on Gossip Girl.
She’ll play a student at Columbia and a love interest for fellow undergrad Nate (Chace Crawford).
This next bit probably goes without saying, but a Gossip source tells me that Cassidy’s character “will make trouble” for several Upper East Siders, adding, “She is not what she appears.”
Cassidy will first air in the season 4 premiere.
Coincidentally, Cassidy is currently in Paris shooting the teen adventure comedy Monte Carlo alongside fellow Gossip girl Leighton Meester (Blair).
Thoughts? Does Cassidy’s casting warrant an enthusiastic “Yes!” or an apathetic “Meh?” (Hint: The correct answer is “Yes!”)

It looks like Megan Fox might not have been too hard to replace for the upcoming “Transformers 3” film, as another actress has reportedly already been cast for the part.

According to insiders, Katie Cassidy, daughter of 70s heartthrob David Cassidy, will be assuming the role.

A source told press that Michael Bay was thrilled to be rid of Miss Fox and already had Katie in mind as a replacement.

“Michael worked with Katie on A Nightmare On Elm Street and he sees her as the perfect choice. Megan was unknown when she was cast in the first Transformers and Katie is in that same mold. She even looks a little like Megan — only blonde.”

Those other villains our Girl Crush  faced in her previous flicks “When a Stranger Calls” and “Black Christmas” have nothing on the twisted killer she’s about to encounter. In fact, there aren’t many horror villains to compare to the likes of this well-known criminal mastermind. Katie Cassidy  will battle the dream-encompassing Freddy Krueger in “Nightmare on Elm Street” (out this Friday), which is why we don’t just think we love her, we know we do!

If Katie’s last name sounds a little familiar, there’s a reason. Her father is David Cassidy, of Partridge Family fame! And with Hollywood running through her veins, it’s no wonder you can see Katie showing off her beauty and talent everywhere. She may not play the villain in “Nightmare on Elm Street,” but you can catch her showing off her vindictive snobby side in “Melrose Place”  as Ella Simms, with a no-none-sense attitude and always telling you exactly what she thinks.

Not only does she have a career waiting to explode (she was just cast in “Monte Carlo” opposite Selena Gomez and Leighton Meester!), but she also dated pop heartthrob Jesse McCartney from 2004 till 2007. And Katie must’ve left her mark on Jesse because he wrote not just one, but two songs about their relationship: “Tell Her” and “Bleeding Love.” (Can we get a unanimous awwwww?) With an absolutely flawless sophisticated sex-appeal, we know exactly what Jesse saw in this blonde beauty.

And what other privilege does Katie hold (besides being our Girl Crush, that is)? We won’t divulge too much, but in “Nightmare on Elm Street,” she gets a special death scene which is infamous among Freddy Krueger fans. Check out the film April 30th to see exactly what we’re talking about!

“I can tell you that there’s lots of sex happening…Ella’s getting some—maybe from one, maybe from more.”

There’s also the dish on what’s going on between Amanda and Elle, so if you want to read what’s in the future for Melrose Place, we suggest you head over to E!Online and read all about it.

Upgrade! We feel like we’re missing the boat on the McCartney train, but whatevs.

A source close to the pop star tells E! that Jesse has ditched Hayden to get back together with the Melrose Place star…

Cassidy, 23, and McCartney, 22, met when they were both 15 while he was touring with the group Dream Street. The two dated from 2004 to 2007.

“They have both grown up a lot and haven’t had much luck dating other people,” the mutual friend tells E! “Since they feel so comfortable with one another, they decided to give it another shot.”

Our source adds that McCartney’s camp is psyched about the news.

“Katie is on a strict schedule with Melrose Place and Jesse’s people really want him to stay out of clubs and live more of an adult lifestyle,” says our insider. “They think Katie will keep him on track.”

So will Cassidy have some competition from Jesse’s other female suitors?

“Katie was less than thrilled when she heard the news that her man was partying with Hayden Panettiere at LA hotspot, Wonderland,” ‘fesses the friend. “Katie isn’t the jealous type, but she knows Hayden has had the hots for Jesse for years now.”

Hmmm, can you say catfight?

Cassidy’s rep tells E! the girl-on-girl drama is premature.

“Katie and Jesse are the greatest of friends, but there is no truth to them being back together romantically.”
