Wanted dead or alive: The Gossip Girl spinoff

Has the yet-unnamed Gossip Girl spinoff, starring Britney Snow as a young Lily van der Woodsen (née Lily Rhodes), been axed before it has even premiered? The show is supposed to be heavily promoted in next week's episode of Gossip Girl, "Valley Girls," but is it even worth it if the show will not be shown? The LA Weekly's Nikki Finke says:

As I reported at 2:45 PM today, put a fork in it. It's done. Next Monday's episode of Gossip Girl is a flashback that was supposed to be a tempting taste for next fall's spinoff following the wild teen years of now mom Lily van der Woodsen (played by Brittany Snow) in Los Angeles in the 1980s. But even though I heard Peter Roth loved its yesteryear vibe, the show went from hot, to lukewarm, to "fading but wouldn't count out", to now dead, according to my insiders. I'm really surprised.



However, don't draw any conclusions too fast- a CW insider told New York Magazine that "reports of the Gossip Girl spinoff death are preposterous. The CW does not even begin their scheduling meetings until next week."
