Perving Out: Elizabeth Hurley

This week, Perving Out is celebrating the triumphant return of Elizabeth Hurley to these American shores. Chances are, 100% of you do not watch The CW's Gossip Girl. I'm not here to recruit you, but I will admit--proudly, I might add--that I have been onboard with this tawdry prime time soap about scheming Upper East Siders ruining each others lives in various colorful and amoral ways since the beginning, and I am still wholly onboard for any and everything Gossip Girl has to offer. Oh, yes, Elizabeth Hurley...

So, anyway, the 46-year-old model-turned-actress joined the cast of Gossip Girl this year and it has been nothing short of constant delight. First of all, she's brought back the scheming that has been so desperately missed, you know, since Chuck turned good and Blair's schemes became royal wedding focused and Dan sold his dumb novel and Charlie frowned a lot and Rufus got even more insufferable and Eric disappeared at sea (That's what happened, right?). Gossip Girl has always been best when chocked full of elaborate schemes and Hurley has been the scheming MVP this season for sure. I can barely wait for her comeuppance. You think Juliet and Vanessa got it bad when they were simply shunned, considering everything Hurley's character, Diana, has done this season, I'd be surprised if she gets out of Manhattan with her life. Second, did you see last week's episode, "The Big Sleep No More?" Did you see the purple dress Hurley wore to Chuck's weird Macbeth haunted house charity thing? Wow. I wanted to post a picture of that for this entry, but I couldn't find a good one. So, you get the above picture, which I think is pretty exquisite.

Happy Perving Out Sunday, everybody! XOXO
