Producers of Gossip Girl are planning a spinoff series set at a girls boarding school by either giving co-star Taylor Momsen aka Jenny Humphrey her own series or by introducing a new character in the fall who is then spun off and given a new series.
Taylor, 14, plays a character who is a self-esteem challenged outsider and struggles to fit in. Any spinoff would likely draw on Taylor’s character Jenny Humphrey in the Gossip Girl book series for inspiration, according to the Hollywood Reporter. In the books, a series of public embarrassments (such as appearing in a teen magazine wearing next to nothing) results in Humphrey having to either repeat ninth grade or find a new school.
It is not yet clear whether the spinoff would be picked up for the fall season considering the CW already has Gossip Girl and 90210 in production, as well as One Tree Hill.
In 2000, Taylor, starred in her breakthrough performance in Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, as Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey.

I didn't know that it was Jenny's character in the "IT girl" books. I saw them here, but they aren't that populair here, too bad. I will check them out soon!

There is, it got a season two this fall...but the producers want to boost ratings, and since GG did well, they want to do another spinoff of it to get better ratings.

Here's what People had to say:
Will Jenny Humphrey be the queen bee — at a new school? That’s totally possible if the rumor going around the Upper East Side is true. Jenny, played on Gossip Girl by Taylor Momsen, may be heading to boarding school in a new spin-off, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The idea isn’t totally out of left field, since it’s based on The It Girl novels by Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar. Update: Sorry Little J, Gossip Girl executive producer Josh Schwartz says the rumors aren’t true. We’ll be sure to let you know when they are. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
So No Spinoff, for now anyways!
