Looks like it’s time for Chuck to show his true colors. We all remember Cecily Von Ziegesar’s original Chuck Bass. He carried a pet monkey named Sweetie, played for both teams, and dressed almost identically to his televised counterpart. This season TV Chuck will begin to have a lot more in common with Ziegesar’s Chuck. GG’s new season […]
