'Gossip Girl' cast among People's 'most beautiful.'

You know you love them. The cast of

Gossip Girl

is getting attention, but not for their deplorable onscreen behavior.

The show's young cast -

Blake Lively

,

Chace Crawford

,

Ed Westwick

,

Jessica Szohr

,

Penn Badgley

,

Leighton Meester

and

Taylor Momsen

- have joined the ranks of People's "100 Most Beautiful" list.

Gossip Girl

narrator and former

Veronica Mars

star

Kristen Bell

also made the annual.

Damon Wayans gets 'better' offer at ABC.

Damon Wayans

will star in a comedy pilot for ABC - just not the one he was developing earlier this season.

Wayans, who starred in the network's

My Wife and Kids

from 2001 to '05, has joined a pilot called

Never Better

. He'll also serve as an executive producer, the showbiz trade papers report.

Also at ABC,

Matt Long

,

Ben Lawson

and

Norbert Leo Butz

have joined

David Hemingson

's legal drama and

Piper Perabo

has been cast in

Prince of Motor City

. HBO, meanwhile, has added two actresses to its pilot

Suburban Shootout

.

Never Better

is based on a BBC2 series about a recovering alcoholic who tries to be a good father and husband, not always successfully. Wayans will exec produce the pilot with writer

Dave Walpert

(

Miss Guided

,

Sports Night

),

Warren Littlefield

, and

John Heyman

.

Prior to the writers' strike, Wayans and his

My Wife and Kids

partner

Don Reo

received a script commitment from ABC for another comedy. That project has apparently gone by the wayside.

The Hemingson drama will star Long (

Jack & Bobby

,

Ghost Rider

) as a law school graduate who's recruited to join a boutique law firm. Butz (a Tony winner for

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

) will play the man who lures Long's character to the firm, while Lawson will play an associate there.

Prince of Motor City

, meanwhile, has cast Perabo (

The Prestige

,

Coyote Ugly

) as the ex-girlfriend of the main character, a Harvard professor who moves home to Detroit to help run his family's car company.

Over at HBO,

Rachael Harris

(

Notes from the Underbelly

) and

Kerri Kenney

(

Reno 911

) have joined

Suburban Shootout

. They will play residents of a seemingly idyllic suburb that's actually controlled by rival gangs of armed-to-the-teeth housewives.
